  • top song top bloke best performer in the world luv u frank

  • good init

  • Fuck me, I missed this in the 80s

  • wooooooow

  • lol..

  • RIDICULOUS!!

  • I knew frank, He was a wonderful soul................... I will miss him, I and my kind fight for his wonderful spirit. Long live the 80' and Icons as Fad a pure Icon electro man.

    I wish I had the insight you had at that time. I will make in poetry your name,

  • I didn't know Ian Curtis had a soul brother ;-)

    Really surprising how i ear him when i close my eyes !

    Rock, indus and Kraftwerk inspiration ...

  • Francis John Tovey was very avant garde.

  • he was good ,great song writer

  • thank you

  • newcomers from the past

  • Never got to see him, and know I missed out. Saw OMD in Detroit in '82 or so and thoroughly pissed them off by repeatedly screaming "play some Fad Gadget" They did well, but I'd rather have seen Frank...I too love youtube

  • That seems really stupid, like some drunk redneck yelling 'play freebird!'

  • exactly...I considered it bad performance art and no one got the joke until you!

  • love youtube

  • Marilyn Manson tried to copy Rozz Williams, and failed miserably. Mr Manson was maybe going to elementary school when Fad Gadget came out with this song...

  • @LadyGhoulita LOLYEAH!!!!!!!!

  • Has nobody noticed he looks slightly like Alan Partridge

  • fuckin llove fad gadget......tovey is the boy

  • nice dance moves.

  • cool song! it makes me dance :P

  • 1:35 always cracks me up.

  • Incredible :)

  • His voice and Ian Curtis's sound similar

  • he can hold notes better than ian, but thats not the most important in music

  • I'm glad I'm not the only one who hears the similarity between Curtis and Tovey. They even look a bit similar, but very different musical styles.

  • i also see similarity though curtis is better but i love this stuff, too... a whole lot. its like ian curtis gone wild in a different way. a simmilar raw energy.

  • Que temazo,

    y ahora solo hay clones defectuosos.

  • Best live performance ever. I love when he just starts flipping out into the mic.

  • Saw frank at rafters in manchester 1979/80/81/82 cant recal the year - total talent used the place to his advantage! climbing swinging you name it - top gig!

  • saw him a few years ago at EuroRock in Belgium and indeed he had some fun to climb into the stage/light posts and spraying himself with shaving creme during the Lady shave song :)

  • I was there too. I think it was in 1981. I got up on stage with a load of other people as he covered it in shaving cream. Memorable to say the least. I met him in the club Devilles not long after and he tatooed my arm with a pen.

  • Very good video....very wear....

  • A sensation to experience live.

    And great studio mixes too.

  • whatta title..interrupted intercourse

  • Cabaret Voltaire's "The Arc, the Covenant and Arm of the Lord" LP is very influeneced by this sound.

  • Thanks a lot for this very rare treat!

  • an extremely under-rated band. loved it. thanks for posting !

  • Yes and you lost that argument, ball licker.

  • Is that the drummer from Wire at the kit?

  • It definitely does look like Robert Gotobed on the kit.

  • Better live.

  • Truly a legend, a man way ahead of his time in both sound and performance.
