the Stranglers "Something better change" (Amsterdam1977)

Footage from either the september 2, or (more probable) the november 27, 1977 gig at the Paradiso, Amsterdam. Note the wrong subtitle "Something but a change" and JJ jumping (or falling) into the crowd mid-song! Also some after gig footage featuring JJ, Dave and some H. angels. Originally aired in Holland in january 1978.

Beautiful stuff!

That Angel boy at 3:57 is totally missing the point, saluting a dead German clown (not to mention murderer), that wouldn't be able to tell a guitar from a bratwurst, while he could be drinking and chatting with the world's greatest band....

@DoStorm I thought he was a total twat but JJ gets his own back nicely later, saying he used his Harley when he wanted to pose. LOL.
