BAUHAUS John Peel 4th December 1979

[@markkendrick7547]

The Peel sessions brought out the very best in all bands....And Bauhaus was no exception......True Legends....

[@greatestytcommentator]

Couldn't have made them worse..... But you are correct.

[@davetaylor7271]

Only Peter Murphy can make a Cosby sweater look Gothic.

[@andreasboose5611]

Totally agree, and i like his very first haircut,...looks like a vampire / devil- Mix!!

[@randomwarningcollective]

it was pre-Cosby...

[@LukSter18998]

it’s what they had

[@ianballantyne6892]

I love the fact that Bauhaus used this version for the In the Flat Field album.

[@deejaaywalker2314]

Yeah, totally - this is the definitive version. I saw Peel session in the title but was quietly hoping for this specific version. Turns out it was both.

[@jamesleonard2870]

I thought that! I’m like this sounds identical. So rad

[@timjackson5680]

The music that come out of the post punk era was truly inspirational. Bands weren't afraid to experiment.

[@sophiew1967]

Oh well said..for those of us living in depressed towns( me from Liverpool) this music ,Joy Division & the whole cross over it the post punk,/ industrial & gothic scene was like a perfect backdrop to living in dystopian Britain in ..Thatcher's nightmare!

[@greatestytcommentator]

I wish they'd done most of it in private

[@christophedcd2863]

Double dare version is a masterpiece, intense and heavy, it sounds industrial and arty all at the same time

[@dmitry73n]

Не то слово!✊👍

[@bertmanize]

The Peel session version of Double Dare was so spot on that they couldn't replicate it for the album, so they chose to put this version on the album. Still my fav Bauhaus song.

[@bertmanize]

yup I havent heard any other version that comes close to this. def my favourite Bauhaus song.

[@ManuelLopezSamra]

The True Avant Garde of the Era

[@pinotgreen5317]

In the flatfield hit me like a rock back in the days and John was my god.

[@shirokojlevoj]

🖤Magic sound that always inspires me ✨💜✨

[@alanbond4413]

ran away from home to see these guys. front row, Bristol, 1981, got whipped numerous times by Murphy's mic lead and caught a bunch of (fake) yellow roses which I still have to this day...don't ask me why! such power and energy in the music. Got tickets to see them again at the Ali Pali in London later this year (CV permitting)

[@nickrog6759]

hELLO . May I ask how much the Ticket(s) Cost + what Date & Venue have they rescheduled the Gig for if you know Yet ??? Pretty please with Funeral ofSores Roses on top ....

[@aliciawillcox5138]

See you at Ali Pali, finger's crossed! xx

[@frenchtoastking1858]

badass.

[@dmitry73n]

Какие вы классные англичане!вы так близки нам русским по духу🤝

[@kyleburch7958]

Thanks for sharing the memory. Did you end up seeing them? Or was the show canceled. I’ve seen peter twice now, and seing the full lineup in Toronto in a few weeks.

Dalton Ogasawara never got on with the band but they had a massive following, I was Skelatal Family myself.

[@emersontomasini9495]

Thank you. 🙂

[@ursulaschlapbach311]

Thank you

[@ClyneKnowles]

Brilliant apart from TS.....😮

[@ben8147]

[@robertthrossell4321]

Just brilliant 👍

[@paulgalan206]

Literally, out of this world.

[@marisaelenenadiejamusiccom3974]

Wow what a cool sound this is a really interesting band thank you for sharing!

[@ShastaRed]

Saw these guys about a little over a year ago and I’ve seen so much bands before them and these guys jumped straight to number two of the best bands I’ve seen and they opened up with this song and his voice now sounds so similar to him younger still and everyone sounds exactly how they recorded the music they’re so fantastic and then a few months ago I saw love and rockets and they were fantastic for sure see them both when you can because you never know when you can see either of them and for me barely being 20 and able to hear theirs guys were fantastic

[@the-primered-thumb]

I discovered Bauhaus through spy in the cab,it's as good now as it was then 😉👍

[@ursulaschlapbach311]

Sounds like my Favorite Sound!

[@LechugaWable]

Best band and best dj

[@pabloi3621]

Esos sweters de rombos de varios colores parece que estaban de moda entre los darks, a Siouxie también le vi uno igual.

[@07androctonus]

Entre la ropa de bazar/de segunda mano siempre se encuentran cosas interesantes que toda persona dark puede añadir a su armario.

[@scratch5191]

Thing i love most is the Black Sabbath subtext shredded into a room full of water

[@guillermoortega4119]

AWESOME

[@kaguth]

Murphy rocking a sweater Bill Cosby might have worn and he still looks incredibly goth.

[@thiscorrosion900]

Looks like a good London Fog sweater to me. More like Gothic Swag.

[@alondathomas293]

kauth: Cool to see his and band when they were still young and creepy-looking with lots of weird makeup, lol.

[@scroticle]

Hahahaha!! Perfect!

[@rgonko]

yeah, Bauhaus were goth before Goth was called Goth

[@zellah]

It’s an argyle sweater. Bill didn’t wear them. They’re classic.

[@MrOthila]

Fantastic!

[@nogingerfool1]

Thirty nine years ago today this was aired n still genius , the 40th anniversary gig in Northampton 2nd 12th 2018 was just a treat , thank you for the years x peace x

[@catherinebonanno6545]

LOVE the look! The ultimate in Dark wave music.

[@pressureworks]

Dark Wave ??? Comment Reported as Total Wazzock !!!

[@timmoore173]

Someone told me In the mid to late 80s that I should take acid and listen to Bauhaus....l did.

[@martinecossette3349]

me too :)

[@elaborator]

acid adds a lot tho

[@voltaire2001]

Used to play this coming down from acid, Laying down, jam box by my head.Worked every time.

[@vr6swp]

So how'd that work out for you?

[@ten10strips85]

Yeah a lot of people fried to bauhaus, back in the day. That's one of the foremost associations I have, hearing this: good blotter, cheap chianti, half-finished basements, folks in pea-coats, leather jackets, cool girls, clove smoke and campfires

[@antonio47anos]

eternal Bauhaus

[@ClyneKnowles]

Loved bauhaus saw them a few times round this time but wasnae a big fan of the Trex/Bowie covers....great band live daniel Ash was on fire some of those nights.....🎉

[@jeanmaurice451]

Legends! 👌

[@dmitry73n]

Не то слово!🤟

[@bestlndr]

As good as anything anytime.

[@d0sitmatr]

I dont have a clue where I got it, but I had a bootleg copy of this around the mid 80's, that tape got played so many times it stretched until it broke, not kidding. sound quality wasnt bad at first, but definitely got really bad. I was still in my early teens so the thought of making a recording of it to preserve it wasnt even a thought, heck, I didnt even consider doing things like that until the 2000's... nice to hear it on utube sounding better (by far) than the bootlegged tape version I had :)

[@nickrog6759]

Do you remember the set list and gigs date ? If it was on tape and bought at a market then it was a concert bootleg although there was the live concert LP called Press the Eject and Give Me the Tape which could have been recorded for you .

[@d0sitmatr]

@@nickrog6759 I have PEGMT on vinyl, definitely not the same, no set list or gig date, just pure raw Bauhaus :)

[@GriefTourist]

I'm a long term football casual am I allowed to like Bauhaus?

[@marysalisbury9270]

But of course!

[@stevewilson9479]

brilliance & outer limits...so good!!

[@tripzville7569]

Always thought this was a better version of "God in an alcove" than on the album

[@abeledades]

I couldn't agree more

[@MisAnnThorpe]

The Peel session version of Swing the heartache is also infinitely superior to the version that appeared on The Sky's gone out.

[@maria-mcdv-garcia]

Almost all the coments here are totally irrelevant. Listen to the great music and shut up.

[@voltaire2001]

Had a LTD edition Bauhaus Spirit import Double cd from Japan.Had these Peel sesh songs on one disc.

[@thiscorrosion900]

I've still got my Spirit box set, 3 CDs, it's pretty much all the 79-83 vinyl collection stuff, plus the one disc BBC Sessions anniversary set. Essential. The sound is really good on that box too, even though it's really old by now.

[@NameNotAlreadyTaken2]

I wanna find more songs like Double Dare

[@daehnihc]

You might wanna try listening to any Big black song if you havent yet ;D

[@TheOwl]

Early Swans music was a lot like that

[@organicofficial]

You made me go back to the times of beautiful youth... Thank you fuiter for publishing this crazy sounds (along to crazy photography! :D ). It was definitely one of my favourite Bauhaus session. Greetings from Warsaw, Poland - behind the Iron Curtain in those times. (It was much more fun to fight communist police as a young punk here, than to be only asked for ID in this boring, satiating Britain... ;) )

anyway monstrous good session they did here

[@vv247]

Listen up kiddies ...angst and energy 1979. And of today's music ? ? What do you have ?

[@sfgarctic]

Awesome band but sadly very underrated.

[@dmitry73n]

Согласен, очень недооценённая!

[@hekakain4108]

Underrated by whom? 🤔

[@oscaralvarez2571]

magistral!!!

[@clumsiii]

FUckin A this is the Double Dare i was looking for - There was a rhino tape or some shit i got that was a comp of the live shit Thank you @op teenage me is happy now. been a long damn time

[@dmitry73n]

Очень круто!!! в СССР их, к сожалению, мало знали...

[@NoBody-jk8kv]

beautiful

[@MrHoefnix]

Suggestive of dark, morbid things, but not without a certain sense of humor.

[@MisAnnThorpe]

It's good to know that others also appreciate the OBVIOUS humour. Why did music writers never hear it or was it just a case of them not wanting to? Funnily enough, I never heard Joy Division criticised for their lack of humour.

[@nickrog6759]

Spot on - or in this case - Dark Black & Morbid Spot on !!! ; )

[@louistracy6964]

Million laffs, our Pete.

[@archbishoprobert]

You can tell Soundgarden liked them. And Jane's Addiction.

Soundgarden supported Love and Rockets in 1986. So did Jane's Addiction in 1987.

They used anumber of Radio 1 session tracks on official releases.Check out "Swimg the Heart ache"BBC sessions cd.

[@jamesleonard2870]

Like sound from bell do peel! 🏄‍♂️🌊🪷

[@pressureworks]

What ever became of these young lads ? Did they help to create and refine an entire Genre of music, that in its prime peaked a few short years after this recording ?

[@alondathomas293]

Pressureworks: Pretty much----they're called the firrst goth band, even though they didn't really call themselves that. Had the chance to see Murphy live performing only Bauhaus music a couple of years ago, and he not only looked good but sounded pretty darn good too. This is the first Peel session I've ever heard by them, so that's cool, too.

[@kaori_kanzaki]

They have reunited back for the Bauhaus gig on October 2021 (Or maybe earlier). And they're still energetic as they were their younger days, never getting old or anything.

[@SteeeveO]

Double Dare was the LP version not Peel sessions yes?

[@FruitierThanThou]

No this is the PEEL version....

[@davidmullins3936]

It’s the same, they used this on the album

[@SteeeveO]

Bloody hell, if the best ever version of this track was played live it's even more my no.1. Everything was in alignment that day.

[@andrzejlemonkrasol]

Yup, they used peel version on LP because they found it difficult to record such a good version

[@AgentXPQ]

I just found this out today too. I had no idea, and I'm just knocked out that it was done live.

[@jayorazi9784]

Clove cigs n tons o weed Thanks

[@clumsiii]

Without Double Dare 1979 there never would have been FNU Golem (2009). Real. That's my ear history of my love in music *if you dare try the FNU and are scared? skip to 5 20. The intro is just wallow noise. but they pick up and smash down after that

[@greatestytcommentator]

Did they double Dare PIL?

[@roberthale6572]

The goth Beatles, although the fab four were never ever goth,,got the Bauhaus records in a bargain bin in Jackson,tn in the early eighties, terror couple kill colonel and rose garden funeral of sores,,, saved me from classic rock

Was the photo taken on top of the Greyfriars bus station?

[@adrianwriter]

Probably, yes

[@SteeeveO]

looks a bit built-up for Northampton - it was probably in London, record company or magazine offices I reckon!

[@misterteaification]

@@SteeeveO maybe, but there were several buildings in that style on Upper Mounts/Lower Mounts in Northampton, which would be visible looking north-east from a vantage point on top of the (then) bus station. In fact I think most of them are still there.

[@SteeeveO]

@@misterteaification It would be good if you're right - a little bit of history before they escaped the town! I did initially think that the building behind Daniel was the fire station - but then the large building behind David isn't the swimming pool, nor what is now the Charles Bradlaugh pub - & from memory the Chronicle & Echo building was further down the Mounts & not particularly tall. Still - I wasn't here in 79 so you could be right. Cheers.

When a band focuses more on their look and acting serious than learning how to play instruments - you get Bauhaus. Even the name is pretentious
