I saw Buzzzcocks many times in the 70’s and 80’s, but the very BEST one was at the Glasgow Apollo in 1979 when they had Joy Division as their support act! I can still see Ian Curtis doing his spastic dance in my mind’s eye! They were great…but Buzzcocks were awesome! A real shame that no one filmed any of the gigs on that tour, as both bands were at the height of their powers!
I have LOVED this band since I was 12 years old in 1977! Met Steve several times, God Bless him for carrying on the Buzzcocks sound! See you at Rebellion 2022 !
@@paulosicne8498 Steve Diggle, was just as big a part of Buzzcocks, as Pete ! And i'm sure It's wot Pete would have wanted . At least Steve has taken on the vocals, bringing in new vocalist would have been the wrong thing to do ! Why should a great band die along with an original member ? Good of Steve, to keep the memory of a great band alive . It has nothing to do with money .
There's been a few harsh comments regards Steve taken the lead I'm a hard core Buzzcock fan since the Devoto days but Pete will always for me be the singer of the Buzzcocks I know and love but give the lad some credit he's doing a fantastic job at making some great live music. No doubt for Steve will always see himself as a Buzzcock what is he supposed to do just sit and think how things used to be or get up on stage and knock out few of the old Bands numbers.
Oh my God, I just got to this video. I still can't believe Pete is gone. But Steve is on stage, playing Buzzcocks. How can you not be proud of this? I can't do that. This video shows me Buzzcocks will always be more than the best.
"Singles Going Steady" is definitely one of the greatest albums of the 2nd British Invasion and the Buzzcocks were certainly one of England's best bands during that time. I've been playing their songs for my history students in my little "History of Alternative Music" class for a long time now and hopefully have inspired some to seek all that "unheard in America" music out for themselves. I used to play "SGS" like a 45--one side after the other and just flip it again and again, the same as the Vibrator's "Pure Mania" and Wire's "Pink Flag." Just as powerful now as it was then!
I was lucky enough to support the Buzzcocks at Londons Town and Country club...they were the nicest bunch I've ever worked with..sadly Pete no longer..but they had an impact that you had to be there to appreciate it..and raised the roof...Steve Diggle holding thr torch and doing it in style...rip Pete
Saw the Buzzcocks at the Roundhouse,Chalk Farm,London in 1978,alongside Penetration,999,Generation X,AND a suprise "one song" set by the Pistols!!! What a gig !!! Brilliant times 👍👍
Have had the privilege to see Buzzcocks twice. Once with Pete, and once since his sad passing. Thoroughly enjoyed both gigs. Steve is a worthy frontman and gives it absolutely everything. OK, so we all miss Pete, but Steve is doing a fantastic job keeping Buzzcocks going. Keep on rocking Steve, see you at Nuneaton next month!
'tis always great to see musicians who have been around for years still loving to perform. Making music is like a fire in the belly, that if you are fortunate to keep stocked, can burn all your life.
I saw BUZZCOCKCS 3 times in Lyon France, met Steve the last one, we were drunk ..pissing together before the concert.GREAT EMOTION ! we had fun! and you know what man, like i've said to you before there... "I NEED"!...Thanks to be what you are...I ALWAYS NEED!;;..still singing your sogs with your harmony in my head...
Cheers. Nice video. I was there and it was a really good gig. Saw them at The Brickyard a few years earlier when Pete Shelley was still the frontman but they didn't disappoint at Solfest.
A band who'd stop being relevant in 79 never moved on musically Devoto did the smart thing and got out, very limited musical output style wise after 78
Had Steve Garvey and especially the original drummer John Maher been involved I think it would have sounded more like The Buzzcocks but this is just the Steve Diggle band covering a Buzzcocks song
The current drummer has been in Buzzcocks for longer than Garvey or Maher, fwiw. I do think Buzzcocks without Pete seems weird, but they have put out more records without the original rhythm section than they did with, so I don't see them as quite so essential to making it true Buzzcocks.
@@CantStopScreaming Except that all the classic songs came from the original line up and those songs still dominated the set list even at the end of shelleys career. Its what people think of when tbey think Buzzcocks. The style of bass and drums from Maher/ Garvey is very distinctive. No later lineups ever really recreated it , but the Buzzcocks cover band do it it well. ( Buzzkocks)
I just want a lover like any other What do I get I only want a friend who will stay to the end I'm in distress I need a caress I'm not on the make I just need a break I only get sleepless nights Alone here in my half-empty bed For you things seem to turn out right I wish they'd only happen to me instead Well let me tell you now I get no love I get no sleep at nights I get nothing that's nice I get nothing at all Cos I don't get you
@@Greenyandeverygenre I’d say both beat that piffle, but it probably comes down to how insipid you are or how much you like beige. The band died when Shelly died.
Steve sounds great, it’s punk don’t expect perfection 👍🏼 he’s earned his place to shift to vocalist as founder member. I much rather see this in a group than some random unknown new frontman. What’s he going to do a BTEC in bricklaying and give up music?
Where have you cunts been for past 30 years? Obviously not at a Buzzcocks gig. The original line up ended after about 5 years in 1981. You bunch of fucking stamp collectors...

Another band on the bucket list!
Does such a great job...one n only sadly
Always brilliant.
Wonderful job
Los amamos desde Argentina!
Sound good as ever fell in luv with this band in 1977 or 78 too many quaaludes!
Brilliant ,but saying that ,they always were ,awesome !
Saw them in Cardiff Met few weeks back supporting From the Jam. Great set and was blown away.
steve still at it, legend
That is fucking epic!!! 🤘🏻❤️
Thanks i appreciate it, i thought sod it i'll record the whole song.
Hats off to Diggles for still getting out there and taking on the Lead Vox even with Pete gone ...

And THAT is how you start a gig
Was always a fan since the 70s... finally got to see them at the roundhouse a Yr before Shelly passed. RIP
RIP Pete!! We Love you!
Excellent band 🤘
Still creating a buzz after all these years...
Wow! F*kin great.
Saw them in Edinburgh Brilliant 😎😎
bloody brilliant!
What is that amazing fuzzy sounding bass? What's he playing or is it an affect ?
It's only my phone recording mate i'm not taking high end equipment!!
Nice one!. Great upload!. I saw them at the Quarterhouse in Folkestone this year. Was an excellent gig!
Thank you please send the channel to your friends.. :)
Looking forward to seeing you in Aus
Fantastic
Fabulous ‼️MORE‼️
Thanks so much Steve, and you know what?...
I steel need.......
IIIII NEEEEED....!!!!!
😍 lovely.
Los amo Buzzcocks 🤘🤘🤘
Blackstar Amps… was not expecting that
Excellent xx
Sounds good.
Fuckin fantastic band from my era
Yeah!
WTF Les années qui passent ne changeront rien ! love you Buzzcocks !
Chris dangerous style drum opening , even done to head movement
Oh, hell yes!
I'd never see this incarnation of the band.
I remember seeing them at The Marquee in 77 supported by Adam and the Ants. Jordan came and poured a bucket of water over the Ant people at the front.
I'm not really into these Nostalgia-type punk gigs but tbh that sounded pretty good!
Don't think I'll see them live again,not with Pete gone
Flogging a dead fuckin horse
Straight into Fast Cars at the end.
Pretty good.

Your right Gary, Buzzcocks we’re at their best from 78 to 81 ! Garvey and Maher were a superb rhythm section to a class act
@@markallen8074 Yes i know, they were so much part of the Buzzcocks sound
I’m in my sixties and I find ALL my yesterdays rock heroes, pathetic.
Don't we all really, but it's just life isn't it. What do you do cut yourself adrift from the world and don't do anything?
I feel for you, unlike you I'm thankful there's bands out there, young and old, still blasting out the music I love.
Vecchia scuola vecchia guardia! '65 come traviare la gioventù in erba? In questo modo naturalmente!!! 👽😎👍😵💫
I just want a lover like any other
What do I get
I only want a friend who will stay to the end
I'm in distress I need a caress
I'm not on the make I just need a break
I only get sleepless nights
Alone here in my half-empty bed
For you things seem to turn out right
I wish they'd only happen to me instead
Well let me tell you now
I get no love
I get no sleep at nights
I get nothing that's nice
I get nothing at all
Cos I don't get you
Anyone know what music they came out to is called
The guy doing the aha spoils it!
Great night..if this was Birmingham at the Rainbow..I was there
No, def not The Rainbow (I was there too!) This was 10 months ago, so summer 2021.
HOWARD DEVOTO...
the original front. man
is still around..
👍👍👍
I’ll never cease to be amazed at the great British public’s acceptance of second best. Cabaret.
I imagine it's better than watching TV or spending 90 minutes or so in your company.
@@Greenyandeverygenre I’d say both beat that piffle, but it probably comes down to how insipid you are or how much you like beige. The band died when Shelly died.
How could you replace Pete??
You cannot
This is not the Buzzcocks!
He's not being replaced?
Is that you Shark.e from Ballymena ? Derm here.
When was this?
Solfest 2021
This band doesn’t feel the same without Pete Shelley RIP
😊
Not nearly as tight as original Buzzcocks - but hey, this brought back memories from early 80s
The Buzzcock
This is Beat on the brat ramones and Trash NY DOLLS still great tune
I was about to say that the current drummer can't touch John Maher, but he started to bring the speed in with Fast Cars, so maybe I'm wrong
No "the" just "BUZZCOCKS".
Very good but we couldn't see the other guitarist.
That doesnt have the signature sound that the Buzzcocks owned. Sorry Steve, should just leave it as it was.
Rad af.
Lip syncing? Still love the song
It's just 'Buzzcocks'
No 'the'
There is no The. It's Buzzcocks.
Well said.. Really gets on my nerves that 👍👍
Call it a day 1 original member been great band time has come
Knock it on the head Steve for fuck sake this aint Buzzcocks
Steve sounds great, it’s punk don’t expect perfection 👍🏼 he’s earned his place to shift to vocalist as founder member. I much rather see this in a group than some random unknown new frontman. What’s he going to do a BTEC in bricklaying and give up music?
He could change the name to The Steve Diggle Band!!
It's a tribute band at best.
Tribute act, flogging a 1978 dead horse.
This should be called ‘Steve Diggles Buzzcocks’ at best.. just awful.
Where have you cunts been for past 30 years? Obviously not at a Buzzcocks gig. The original line up ended after about 5 years in 1981. You bunch of fucking stamp collectors...
Pete Shelley keeping Steve Diggle in dollar is what I see....
You could also call that Pete's legacy. Whichever why you want to see it it's there.
