- This is the video comprised of three shows filmed at the Royal Albert Hall in England during the "vs. The World" tour for the Mind Bomb album. I believe it was also available in PAL format, but I'm not entirely sure. It was directed by Tim Pope and the quality of picture and sound are quite good.

Still sends chills up my spine in 2022...
"Should I cry like a baby or die like a man
when all the planet's little wars start joining hands...."

S.I NUE ZILDJIAN. Or N.Z.❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊
I saw them in Glasgow on this tour and Marr was the business....truly one of the best gigs ever. We need The The now more than ever!
Love all the positive comments,
I thought I was only one back in tha day
That appreciated the greatness
Of a one of a kind
TALENT
When i bought this lp, i realized it was about the first gulf war. But the whole track resonates the madness of war as we see it now
Infected came out 6 years before Operation Desert Storm
I love the way the bass and drums drive the beats on 'The The' songs, giving Johnny and Matt the room to express their talents. Even when you haven't listened to their stuff for years, it never dates. In my top 5 bands.
So great. All of the songmanship.
Slowdive & The The are the pinnacle ❤
The most impending doom like menacing intros ever recorded.that just builds and builds into a hoffifying tale that we see now being played out today in the world....
Genuis Mr Johnson and co'
All my life. Prophetic poet.
LOL @ this being written before 2020
Fuck! you look at Johnson throughout the times from Infected to Mind Bomb and he seams to be in a heightened state of prophetic awareness. His stuff not only resonates right now, powerfully! its way more relevant than it was on its release. Awesome pre-cog! Genius artist!
Cocaine’s a helluva drug!
The The. Almost unknown all of these decades later. Exceptional band (so good that Johnny Marr spent 6 years with them). Matt Johnson's songwriting always top notch. I still can't understand why they didn't do better at the time (not to mention now).
What was his period there?
Because as with so many of the true greats they are so good that they’re beyond on the comprehension of the majority of music fans. Which as cliched as that may sound, you can’t get a bigger compliment than that as people like Matt would never have been able to release all the utterly magical songs he has if he sold his creative soul to the corporate devil like so many artists do at some point. Which is another reason why he still has such a dedicated following and the songs are still so pertinent and timeless. ❤️
@@Dan76Rock I agree in 2021,but I would have thought they'd have done much better in the 80's. They may simply have not been trendy enough because the music is certainly within the 80's arena. Did John Peel give them any decent exposure? The only reason I ever heard them at all was via college radio. Perhaps Matt Johnson turned down the opportunity to sell out at that time? Soul Mining was a great debut album, but I will confess that the opening track is my least favourite. Every other song (including the bonus "Perfect") are gold to me. The greatest irony is that it initially did modestly well (#27), but then went gold in 2019! That's a mind bender in itself.
@@steelyman08 I know exactly what you mean about them not reaching the heights they truly should have and as you rightly say they have finally started to achieve the sales and accolades they fully deserve. I think there are probably a few reasons the music world took a while to realise how great their music is but the big one for me is that they were way ahead of their time.
The underlying anger towards politics and so many perfectly expressed through sometimes very poetic lyrics but also straight talking harsh personal and social truths are just as pertinent in today’s world, if not more so. I guess the other major element is, like so many artists I love, they couldn’t be be put in a particular genre, so the media and record companies never really have a clue what to say about them or how to promote them in their usual stereotypical ways. But as you referenced and exactly how I feel Matt would never have wanted to be pigeonholed anyhow. He’s done it his own way and gained far more respect and credit for being brave and talented enough to do that.
@@Dan76Rock Right with you. Hey, thanks for taking the time to actually comment with intelligence & knowledge, etc. That's a rare commodity on YT these days as well. "The Beaten Generation" is just so incredibly apt! Yes. His music & songwriting falls into no genre, and is far more advanced than the new wave/punk movement, etc. Take care.
Saw in Sydney on same tour...best concert ever seen, the sound, the power, the songs...
The perfect band Matt, Johnny, James.... I wish I had been to this show.
Timeless music from the genius that is Matt Johnson! Way ahead of his time!
I love Matt! He stirred our spirits and opened our eyes when we were younger.
saw the show at the Perth Concert Hall Aust 89/90. Front row, centre tickets. In my top 5 gigs of all time and I've been going to gigs for 30 years
I saw them in Sydney on that tour. Unbelievably good, I agree. This brings back memories.
Going to Sydney on October 2 from Perth because I missed that show.
Hey Adeline - I was at the same gig - and not far behind you - what an amazing gig - up in my top five as well!!! I'm heading to Melb for Festival gig - after waiting 28 years, I'm not sure I can wait much longer for them to get back to Perth!! Hope they do tho'. xx
@@MsRedbelly Me too! Matt Johnson, his songs never date! Best gig ever!
One of my all time favourite bands saw this tour in Boston MA.
the greatest songwriting poet of his time matt johnson genius, johnny marr genius
Indeed.
You gotta love Johnny giving us a preview of Slow Emotion Replay on the harp intro to Sweet Bird!
Nice catch!!
Awesome call!!
The female vocalists he gets to co op are just amazing . all of them.
Matt gets them to do even better than they have on there own albums.
Who is she?
Melanie Redmond

I've said this before, and I'll say it again. Matt Johnson is the sexiest man alive.
Agreed.

HOLY SHIT!!! Is this video still available!???
#@!
Thank god Simon Cowell came along eh kids!
Please Matt, I want the original music vid again. Please.
I have it on VHS but too poor quality to watch these days :( I was lucky enough to record it when it was shown on tv in the 80's. Would love to see it in its entirety again.
What key do you reckon that harmonica is?
i can't believe the camera crew didn't have a camera on Matt until near the end.
...they seemed to think the guitarist was the vocalist, the idiots.
Spot on.
It's his licks anyhow. Still.
the guitarist? are fucking kidding me? you're talking about Johnny Fucking Marr. ever heard of him?
goddamn philistine biatch.
Nombre del bajista,please!!!
They *hate* it 💚🎶👍
you might get it on ebay, I have a copy but it's pretty knackered, played to death, I have tried to transfer it to DVD but not brilliant. Sony will not release it on DVD.
i plan on getting the laserdisc and a laserdisc player solely for it haha
Every statement and comment fails by not notating the actual date of this event. The date is all important. And what was proformed is second.
