Along with The Specials, Joy Division, The Fall, The Pop Group and The Jam...Gang Of Four were one of the GREAT acts to come out of the UK punk explosion.

Well, absolutely ! But I remember a Channel 4 (UK) documentary that I've still got on VHS somewhere, and obviously am now going to have to try and hunt down. Where the Editor of one of the incredible amount of "fanzines" that were on the go over here at the time was saying something like "Bloody hell, the Police came out of punk: I mean, what have we done ?"

Great song.

The Police should have been opening for them !

Check out the young Sara Lee KILLING it on the bass! Most people just know her from the B-52's Love Shack video, but she was the dance punk queen of the bottom end for over a decade before that.

"I need on order"! Fucking classic.



Concert is Gateshead England. Song`s about the socio-sexual dynamic between a guy with no future "I had to regain my self-respect"-and a woman culturally conditioned to accept that power dynamic in theory if not in practice "she needed to be protected-HER :"you must be joking !"-the joke is that the guy himself "needs an Order" to define his role and purpose. Quite thought provoking. AND IT ROCKS !!! tHAT`S WHY THIS BAND ARE FUCKIN` GREAT !
