1:24 one of the most spine tingling moments in musical history.

was this epic performance ever released on VHS or DVD and if so how do I get a copy???? much better than the Nocturne performance. This captures one of the best bands ever at their absolute peak. Siouxsie is the utter essence of femininity in this.

@jkoepis is he actually playing it do you think? The reason I ask is at before 4:26 he is clearly not playing but the synth strings riff is going on in the background. Then when he "appears" to start playing you don't actually hear anything different.

is this on gerneral release as a DVD or is there a plan to release it? was the whole gig recorded? I ask as I was there and it was brilliant especially when Robin Simon joined John and The Maths on stage.

@MCNOISE666 I personally thought he was the obvious choice on guitar when they reformed but it wasnt to be. I managed to see him perform with John Foxx a couple of years ago though and that was awesome.

thanks for posting this. a much forgotten masterpiece, all the more relevant now as it features the genius of John McGeogh, one of THE most influential guitarists for a generation. RIP John.

this is indeed a truly mesmerising and intense performance. the best Banshees song. the best Banshees line up. John McGeogh is a sadly largely forgotten genius.

@ElectronicaMetal unfortunately its realease coincided with his commercially suicidal decision to "retire" from live performance and live in America. He did a short 1982 tour in the states but it wasn't enough to start a slow and long decline in commercial fortunes. BTW I agree it is an awesome a...

@FulbyUK why is it that whenever an organised protest takes place in this country people like you and the blogger divert attention to a supposed conspiracy.

i think their problem was timing. they broke when acts like Simple Minds and Echo & The Bunnymen had established themselves. This video reminds me of Icehouses "Street Cafe". This video and the indian hook line reak of opportunism on the part of their management. it is no wonder they sank, which ...

@marsovc9572 sadly all of the creative bands at present are being denied a signifcant platform upon which to demonstrate their talents. There are no prime time terrestrial TV channels prepared to showcase acts like The Drums, and the music channels on Sky have just gotta whole lot worse now NME's...

not too difficult to see why they only lasted for two pretty uninspiring albums. the numan cover the only saving grace, but even that was sh*t. the lead singer went on to become one of the most annoying and irritating people in british broadcasting. a sort of trendy Kay Burley.

excellent work. can I ask what equipment you use please. also how did you get hold of the vox humana sample? many thanks.

i was there. this is fucking awesome.

hope they play this and "endgame" on the forthcoming tour!

the best song, by some way imo, from this period. you feel as if you are living in the come down that was their Berlin sojourn.

this was a great ode to the troops in Northern Ireland. Unlike today, they were not "heroes", they were despised by the people of Britain. And yet like most armies they were working class kids with no real understanding of what they were getting themselves into, totally exploited by corrupt polit...

Although they struggled to shake off the Gabriel Genesis comparisons, which is hardly surprising, the first two albums are classics, and the section of this song beginning at 4:37 is as dark and haunting as any of the more street cred acts of the time. Also Grendel has to be worth a mention being...

a beautiful pice of music. a beautiful song. i'm weightless.

@coffeefilms any more news on the release date????

one of numan's best songs ever!

my favourite song from this brilliant showcase of the much loved Teletour backing band. the song hinges on the indescribably lush viola solo of Chris Payne's at 1:59. Thanks for posting.

this is truly crap. sad really, as not only were they a superb backing band for Numan (visual highlight being imo the TOTP This Wreckage appearance) but also did actually come up with some decent songe ontheir one and only album, in addition to those mentioned - eg. Take Me Home, Turn and On Refl...

along with Crash, these two songs are my favourites, and are arguably the culmination of all he was aiming at up to that point of his career, imho of course. the both possess irrestible synth hooks in the chorus, and are underpinned by dark and brooding rhythm arrangements. Whilst Mick Karn is on...

this is actually very good, and I am in the main a critic of his recent work based largely on what I see as a lack of new ideas to successfully spread over an entire album (Pure and Jagged have one or two highlights then become slight variations of the same song. But the closing part of this trac...

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I suppose one has to ask the question, why did Cedric Sharpley not get a songwriting credit, and is he entitled to sue for back royalties on the basis of Billy's comments here and ones made by Gary Numan in recent years?

is it me or is he actually lucky to have loads of gear but waas very conventional in his approach to music making? I mean I bet early Ultravox woudl have killed for all that gear and would have produced far more challenging work, not to mention Neu! for instance. And Numan got more out of a coupl...

a magnificent performance of a magnificent song

when was this performed? this is by some way the best Soft Cell song in so many respects - and predictably it failed to breach the UK Top 20. Sums up what a bunch of c**ts the UK record buying public are at the end of the day.

they need to invest in a synare drum for the closing refrain - it is one of the best refrains ever but one of the key parts was the synare and it just doesn't work on a conventional kit i'm afraid.

Eh? Billie Currie has more talent in one of his farts than the entire panel and host on all of the series of this shit show put together.

Why Billie did this is beyond me (I presume some cunt of an agent said it would help sell his album). I guess at the time there was no prospect of an Ultravox ...

how "out there" is this. perfrect visual and audio accompaniment to these dark days we all find ourselves in.

@tintin1244 do they? or do you?

one of the best love songs ever written or performed.

i think this is one of the most moving performances ever - up there with Hendrix at the Isle Of White, any of The Fall, Manics at the Astoria 1994, The Who etc. Really makes robbie williams look like the total cunt we all knew he was. check out my exchange with some old slag on the williams song...

harrowing. maybe their best song and performance? This could be an unrelenting soundtrack to the civil unrest that inevitably awaits us now that the global economy is in meltdown - should make summer 2011 seem like a tea party.

@Heidella57 haven't you got the school run to take care of? or catching up with loose women? williams, and his fanbase, which includes sad old sacks like you, are all that is wrong with the music business. i sadly only came across this by way of the epic ATDI video which was perfromed on this sho...

again, great work. can i ask what synths and backing tracks you use. Also what is the top synth in picture, and what are you doing at 0:50 - is it an internal preset thing Visage used themselves on that model, or did you have to program?

lol. this is so fucking good. it sounds like a live verison circa 1980. brilliant mate. have you used samples for the backing track or is it all your own work?

this is fucking brilliant mate. wish i had the same dedication as you!

@MrIliner agreed.

@ToolsnFire Hiya. In my humble opinion The Horrors' "Skying" - it has the same level of experimentation imo. We are in a deeply austere age, and music like this will be cherished in years to come.
