I worked with Donald Johnson for two years or so in an unrelated job. He is such a modest guy and never told me that he was the drummer in this band until I found out from a mutual friend. Neither did he mention that he had played drums on one of Bryan Ferry's tours. A genuinely nice, modest guy. Manchester's finest.
Met him last week after a gig such a lovely unassuming down to earth guy talked about the zoo in Bellevue Manchester his Dad used to bring him there as a kid an absolute gentleman
that's interesting he played for Bryan Ferry; I can hear some Roxy Music influence in this.
One of the best live bands ever..
And still going stronger than all.
Manchester ❤
Came home from my college bar in '89 to find this on Thames TV - and that was that. Been a massive fan ever since and still love 'em. Brilliant live.
Great Live Performance!!! ACR is one of my favourite bands ever; as a bass player myself I've always loved Jez Kerr's MusicMan Stingray Bass driving sound throughout the tracks as well as all the rest of the brilliant musicians who played in this band. Awesome!!
I went to this concert, good times in London.
Only just discovered this...blown!
Enjoy. Seeing them in November and can't wait. Class.
What an amazing band legends along with section 25 wire cabaret voltaire and the comsat angels
If the support band was some guys in cycling gear doing funk/rap then I was at this gig...what a great rediscovery 34 years later ❤

The transition between Sounds Like Something Dirty and Your Blue Eyes is awesome
Goddamn, I love this band.
Acr where so ahead of themselves and time I met Flo Mc Sweeney many years ago here in Dublin and told me some great stories about this era.
Looking forward to seeing them at Stereo in Glasgow tonight!
AMAZING 😬
Manchester's top asset. Fecking greatness is ACR.
I was there man. Great live sound. Even the cheesy chorused Stingray!
Jez Kerr was and is brilliant. Thank you so much for posting this.
Met Jez last saturday after their gig in Dublin talked about Manchester 79/80 , Joy
Division, Tony Wilson, Factory etcetera , a really nice guy
Just realised I was at this gig.
Thanks y.t.
muy bonito! Gracias.
este show es increible
thx!
THE BEST
First tune absolutely slaps
Sounds Like Something Dirty - flip side to Wild Party 12" single. A total banger.
I think i'm the other way round from the other comments. I loved "Force" but "Good together" is still one of my favourite albums of all time. Wasn't a massive fan up to that point.
40 years ahead of their time
Saw them last saturday and they are, then again i thought that in 1980
As soon as they play 'Wild Party' everybody starts to dance!
NOTE: I'm not responsible for the sound drop-outs at 10:13 15:33 and 34:52.
The blame is on CZcams and things like this are becoming ridiculous...
+StillCloser Live sound [almost certainly] mixed by OZ PA.
Small warts, friend. It's still one of the best live ACR recordings available, so folks should say, "Thank you."
As a 15 year old high school student in 1984, I played a lot of early ACR on our HS Jazz format radio station. The format loosened up at 6pm to include "fusion" for us kids in the 80s. By 1989, they'd moved to more "pretty" and dance-accessible stylings, but I still like them.
Regardless of quality issues, thank you for this post!! Thoroughly enjoyed this brilliant gig!
Odpłynołem...
Ah this is the moment I went off them really. Loved em before this though.
Are you sure this wasn't May 1989? I saw them at this venue on 23rd May 1989 and it was recorded for TV broadcast. They also played here in October '89 but I don't think that was recorded? It would seem unlikely that both gigs were filmed for broadcast?
Actually... I've just seen myself in the video so I can confirm that it was definitely filmed on 23rd May 1989... I still have my ticket. Signed - a pedant :)
Thanks, indeed it's May 23... When I posted this I've checked ACR's gig-guide and Oct 25 was the only date for the Town & Country Club...
I like the first instrumental track. Reminiscent of ACR's earlier stuff. But the other tracks are a little too 'pop' for me. They really changed their music style over time. It's hard to believe this the same band who recorded Knife Slits Water.
Ha. Turns out track one is from their earlier stuff. Goes to show what I know!
well listen to #07. great track. not very beginning of ACR but quite early.
What is the name of the first track? It’s absolutely fantastic.
@@MrJeffDicks 'Something Dirty' I think.
@@MrJeffDicks , it's Sounds Like Something Dirty....
In association with McEwan's Lager
Ok, fine
Ever been made available(officially?) in lossless?
The Best Hard Funk Barroco
percussion ?
They were not represented well in the movie 24 hour people movie
Where did this come from, I knew the gig was being filmed but have never seen it before? This was the first gig I went to with my (now) wife!
Graham Knight Ripped from a VHS that came from a guy who works at ITV
So was it ever broadcast?
I suppose so, at least some guys have taped it though I don't know exactly which channel broadcast it
Well thanks for putting it up here, I remember the gig so well, never expected to see it again!
I was there as well feeling slightly bemused and wondering where the band I loved had gone!
Fukn Dave Mathews Band meets Joy Division
Wow this is the shit
She looks like Xuxa!!!, very Hot!!!
Looked like. That was 1989.
Aha... I was a bit surprised to hear of this Xuxa, had no idea who she was until I google her...You Brazilians kill me... :D
It is Flo!!
is he hitting a pipe in the thumbnail?

1989. right before the techno/acid house tsunami. nothing was the same after. i mean, look at the audience. a year after it was all kids on pills and stuff.... change of era ! still love this album thought.
Well I remember the New Order gig at GMEX in 1988 really having a distinct 'acid house' flavour about it. Including the punters going wild when Pickering played 'Voodoo Ray' before the show, plenty of evidence of people partaking of pills and New Order holding a brilliant acid house party in the Hacienda's basement after the show. I know there's quite a few people down from MCR for this show 'cos I recognise their faces and look at the girl in the dungarees right before 'Backs To The Wall'. Perhaps London gig goers didn't 'get right on one' quite as quickly as we all did back up north? 1988 was definitely the first of the 'second summer of love' by the time they were playing this gig in London, the Hacienda was really going totally and completely mental back in Manchester, believe me, I know 'cos I was there.
Pretty ill informed comment there - even people from up north although they may have been playing the music as early as London admit that London invented the whole Acid Housescene -Trip, Spectrum, Sin, Weekend World, Clink Street, Shoom, the early M25 raves were all in London in 1988. Bloody hell We Call It Acieed straight from the london scene was in the top 10 of the pop charts in the summer of 1988 But the ravers would hardly have been at a concert like this or New Order for that matter - it was about dancing to house records not going to rock gigs.
The year BEFORE Acid house - unbelievable Acid house was 1988 and 1989 it was all over by 1990 for a lot of the originals (down in London anyway)
Andy Pandy I can assure you that plenty of people who danced at the Hacienda also went to New Order gigs.
this cant be the same band that did knife slits water/du the du/shack up/ flight ? can it ? im guessing there is another certain ratio. im hoping anyways, because that was not !
It is. They evolved their sound to more jazz influenced.
how did they leap from the brilliant To Each to this drivel ???
They grew up. Aging punkers aren’t always the most attractive bands. 😉
Different strokes different folks. Go with the (band) flow
Bad clothes ok music😉
...sinuos sound source.
That flanged bass was overused in the 80s
nah, never too much ;)
+samuli hirsi
you were not there then! 😁
Millennial Free music
The mid 80s seemed to ruin everything. Not exactly a dark wave uniform being worn by them but look at the sweat exuding from these blokes. Gross! Not exactly edgy art music like early days. Sounds commercial 80s but tight
