I don't know what a genius is. Except the most over used word ever. But Dave.. a primo keys guy. And like I always say: Dave will live forever as long as fanatics keep preserving and publishing the sounds. I used to say fans.. but now I say fanatics. That's what it takes. Autie nerds with obsessive tech skills to store and release the sounds. It takes work and energy, time and resources to keep the sounds alive. Be grateful as a fan for the autie nerd fanatics that keep the ball rolling up hill against the tide against the wind that wants to stop the flow.
Only other band apart from stranglers I ever saw is awolnation. checkout "run" and "knights of shame" kind of genre like tank and down in the sewer. AWOLs also totally off the wall and incredibly musical
@@user-hc2rn8wl6u Vince Clark started the DM style. Alan came after Vince. Alan Wilder took the band to huge international fame. Vince Clark formed Yaz and others. Good Day and happy listening!
This has always been 1 of my favourite stranglers televised gigs. There is also a 25/30 minute showing of this. Fantastic stuff. I first saw the stranglers live in 1979.....and last time in 2019.....and they are still the best live band I've ever seen.
I wish I had seen them live. Never came near upstate New York. Best live gig ever, The Clash, SUNY Binghamton West Gym, 1982 followed by B-52’s and Oingo Boingo right after. Maybe 1983.
Absolutely original exciting band, all of them 4 are stunning musicians and the alchemy was exceptional ...up to Feline (included). And then only decayed.... let's hope for a reunion with Hugh - never say never
@@TheRobman well, compared to Paul Roberts and John Ellis, Baz is brilliant indeed. He saved the embarrassingly horrid Stranglers mkII from definitive artistic suicide, that's for sure.
@@paolozak3014 Got the DVD with the orchestra and threw it in the bin, switched me off completely. Also so that line up at Heineken beer festival, Leeds, mid 90`s and left the tent. Throughout the 80`s they were my all time favourite band. Never been the same and tastes change.
Just watched a bit of kayne west at glastonbury switched it off went on youtube and found this.The gulf in sheer class and talent is mindblowing between the two Whats happening to music now its a fuckin joke.
Great Video. The Aural Sculpturers in their best form.The Stranglers where very much ahead of their time. I think it's very difficult to play. Pure musicianship. No Nukes - Nuclear Device. That's the right event to play this Song. Thanks for posting.
Great clip thanks for uploading, raw aggression from the meninblack. Dave Greenfield is a sad loss to music an under sung genius from a true outsider band.
I remember watching this late night on TV (VARA) and recorded it on a tiny Philips cassette recorder, Always treasured that tape, thanks for uploading!
Fab video , thanks for posting this. It's great to see and hear the men in black at their prime . My favourite teenage memories are Stranglers gigs at the Playhouse in Edinburgh in the early eighties. I think they had written their best songs by the time they released The Gospel but they were so tight and menacing onstage I loved seeing them , until they had the brass section and my interest faded . I am really impressed with the quality of this video. The sound and vision are really clear.
Playing live is not just a copy of the song, but better than the song. Hugh in those early years was never better at solos or snarling his lyrics. Most under rated because they could never crack America. Forty years later as an old geezer their music still speaks to me as much as the Beatles, the Doors, Stones or Dire Straits among others.
Baroque Bordello (Barok Bordello?!?) here is, in particular, fantastic. Nice to hear Cornwell's guitar atypically high in the mix. For my taste 82 was the last indisputably great year for the band. "Feline" was really good, "Aural Sculpture" ok, and "Dreamtime" passable but there had been diminishing returns for me from "La Folie" onwards which sped up somewhat after "Feline". 78 to 81/82 they were peerless..... Including the two solo albums.
agree with everything u say, last album i bought was dreamtime. did some growing up, noticed they were playing near where i live and went to see them in 2017 and again this year, was amazing although i really missed hugh
@@michelesmith1968 That's really weird. Dreamtime was last album I bought too. Saw them im Oxford in that tour with bowler hats and brass section. Was diehard fan up until then but gave up after that. Saw them for first time in 30 years at Rock City last year and they were awesome. Was a greatest hits set inc Bear Cage and Who Wants the World so proper memory lane stuff. Baz is very good but would've been even better with Hugh though. We have the same Stranglers history.
Hare Krishna I was a young punk who saw this lot and clash a lot in the late 70s Gr8 live and the Raven was the last classy Album along with London calling 💀🕉🇬🇧🇬🇧🌈⚡️🍄🍄🌙🌙☠️☠️☠️☠️🏍🏍
Soner Ali Dave sang Lead vocals on 5 Stranglers tracks 'Peasant in the Big Shitty & Dead Ringer (No more Heroes LP) 'Do you Wanna? (Black & White) Genetix (The Raven) & Four Horsemen (The Gospel according to the Men in Black)
This era stranglers never gets old. No wonder folks still listen to them.
RIP Dave Greenfield, genius

What a band. Fantastic song, complicated time signatures, fab musicianship. Nothing like that around today that comes anywhere near it.

@@blancaroca8786 I'll check them out. Thanks!
R. I. P. Dave Greenfield. Best keyboard artist ever. He gave The Stranglers
their marvelous, inimitable and distinctive style in music.
I agree. What about Alan Wilder? He gave DM their unique style in music, didn’t he?
Distinctive based on The Doors

@@michaelgoss1587 So what?
I was fortunate to see the stranglers once in the 80s in the US. I've always felt all roads lead to Rome was their best
Absolute magic.
Genetix - Dave’s voice and keyboards were absolutely spot on. RIP Daveinblack
The most precise and precious band from the UK. Stranglers rule! RiP Dave
RIP Jet Black fabulous drummer

Incredible stuff, it gets even better with age. They were so ahead of their time. Briiliant, thanks for sharing.
Baroque Bordello wasn't so often on their playlist, it's fantastic here!!!
Yes
Funny how I hear the phrase as Barak Obama.

Baroque Bordello
Intelligent music
incredible, such a genious with the synth and the bass
Always loved there music but as I get older it just means more to me
Good sound for this vintage!

Never a frown with golden brown
great show !
Dave is so fucking cool

I find the other four bands you mentioned boring.
@@pigglesy course you neglected to list a few of your favorites, but par for the course, I suppose.

I like the awkwardness of Hugh Cornwell's playing, he creates unique solos and guitar parts that virtuoso's would never arrive at.

I think music went on a downward curve from 83 on tbh

Totally agree with the OP, except that they re-found themselves and have been putting out great albums recently, starting with "Norfolk Coast".
Hare Krishna I was a young punk who saw this lot and clash a lot in the late 70s Gr8 live and the Raven was the last classy Album along with London calling 💀🕉🇬🇧🇬🇧🌈⚡️🍄🍄🌙🌙☠️☠️☠️☠️🏍🏍
hare krisna see you on next Shelter gig ...possibly bro
Never knew Dave sang the vocals on Genetix.
Soner Ali Dave sang Lead vocals on 5 Stranglers tracks 'Peasant in the Big Shitty & Dead Ringer (No more Heroes LP) 'Do you Wanna? (Black & White) Genetix (The Raven) & Four Horsemen (The Gospel according to the Men in Black)
Baroque Bordello.
Only saw them once, October 1980 at a little club in Albany, NY. I think they were promoting Meninblack.

HABEIS VISTO LA ENTRADA DE GENETIX ??!

I was there :-)
Ik ook!
Sorry, the rest was not shown on TV.

If there is a God, may he/she/it be being entertained by Dave Greenfield.
NO NUKES & THE STRANGLERS (with Hugh), No Argument here
Los valientes no ensayan.
Yes, they just jump right in and play for all they're worth.
Greenfield-hero.
Jesus Hugh cut the flipping string ends off!
Ik kan me vloeistofdia's herinneren
does anyone know, why sometimes hugh quotes at the end of genetix , mendals law, and sometimes he doesnt?
Dunno but I do know he is a smart guy and has a degree in Biochemistry.
No need for "Golden Brown" at this gig,apart from the fact it was released!😎😬👍
ONLY 2 MEN I REMAINED TO BE IN LOVE WITH : HUGH CORNWEL AND JULIUS CAESAR. NO MORE NO LESS.💥
Genetix . Hugh loved Capt Beefheart .
It is a bit Beefheart that's for sure.
The camera sucks,how in the world do you not focus on JJ in the song GENETIX,he was ripping the shit out of his baracuda bass.
Pedro faba ikr
Calm down Pedro, I was there and he was dangerous
Baz Warne looks quite different without a shaved head.
that is just so dumb that I couldn't help but laugh.... must be getting late I better turn in!
Wish there was more but this is all; sorry! Mr. Bonio would be very jealous about it, ha ha ha

le plus marrant c'est que sans ce pu..... de nucléaire ils joueraient a cappella......sinon RIP Dave.......forever in our hearts.....
