how did you get this?

[cacaroq]

Found in internet, but i'm looking for an entire version.. Unhappily, i didn't find yet.

what's the song starting at 1:06

[cacaroq]

Ever met a day.

Wow! This is absolutely amazing and this is hands down the rarest footage of Roland and Curt, I have ever seen on You Tube. Where on earth did you find this?

I have got the Graduate album- 'Acting My Age' and it is a masterpiece. Graduate was more than just a ska band. They were a kind of new wave band. But here, I can see they had a certain punk-like energy on stage.

Thank-you very much for posting these live shots. Do you have the entire live videos?

[cacaroq]

No, unhappily i still don't have entire videos. Still, 'cause i won't stop to try serach something.. Sooner or later, any Graduate's video will appear on internet. if I find somenthing, i'll post here. At least, this little video killed our curiosity :-)

Brilliant! aww reminds me of my childhood! My uncle is John Baker and at the time of graduate i was 4 or 5. I can vaguely remember band practise in my nans front room, John and Roland singing and playing their guitars. I remember the excitement when they appeared on Tv , " Runaround" with Mike Reid. The Gigs.

I love the music!

:-)

cacaroq, you outdid yourself this time. this is wonderful! Never thought I'd see teenage Roland doing his thing, though I've had the album for more than 20 years. Great!

[TearsforFearsGirl]

he looks angry XD

[CDS1138]

Oh my God, I can't can't get over how SHORT Roland's hair is!! Haha, I'm so used to seeing him with his wild and crazy long hair!

[T4Fpurson]

Roland looks so funny when he's dancing :D

[chrisnoaro1]

love the flute solo at 1.19, also the kybds at 2.26.

the song at 1.33 he sings in his future TFF voice

[hucster20]

i wish there was mp3 downloads online for them, i would definitely pay 10 to 15 bucks to get the album on to my pod.

[dizzydreams]

I can't believe this, sooo wonderful someone had footage of this soooo rare indeed!

I love this album and yep I have it on vinyl :)

TFF is one of my top 5 favorite bands .

Thank you sooo much for sharing this it made my morning:)

It would have been nice to see and hear into what this band would have developed. A lot of groups did the new wave thing then, sure. But with Roland's songwriting abilities, I think they would have had a good shot of staying alive both musically and commercially.

what a contrast!! between this and the stuff 10 yrs later on STSOL with nicky holland and oleta adams! wow this is a real collector's item thanks for posting.
