  • 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 !

  • well put.

  • Good stuff. My band at school covered that song (but we were better - only joking ;-) Was that the gig that was broadcast on The Tube? You don't have Call Me Up anywhere do you?

  • nope just these 2 songs...wish i had more from this show!

  • 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 ?" I'll be posting it on if it still exists on YouTube. "Walking on the ** moon" or even worse, "message in a f*cking bottle...

  • @roddy76to86: the police arent even worthy enough to carry their guitar and jock straps.

  • @defdeelr don't forget the Clash.

  • 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.

  • Eddie Reader on backing vox and supplementary snare drum!

  • "I need on order"! Fucking classic.
