THAT PETROL EMOTION PLAYING "LIVE" @ "THE TOWN & COUNTRY CLUB IN "LONDON" FILMED FOR A TV PROGRAMME CALLED "CUE THE MUSIC" FOR GRANADA TELEVISION BACK IN THE EARLY NINETIES" .... ENJOY.....: )

[@Looms29]

Love the music and the attitude.

[@robertstephens156]

I saw this band on Sunday, July 8, 1990 at the Whiskey-A-Go-Go in Hollywood. They were touring in support of the album "Chemicrazy'. Great show! Great band! Great memory!

[@diggerjay]

Absolutely... 👌

[@yammyrob]

One of the best bands that went under the radar. I listen to them all the time. Thanks for putting it on here.

[@yvescourbot6581]

Love these guitars... Great band !

[@CardiffBoy1927]

Fantastic live band, saw them a few times back in the late 80's/early 90's. A great mixture of jagged rhythms and pop sensibility.

[@HughDW]

Best live band in the UK in the second half of the 80s.

[@peterdoyle3959]

absolutely fantastic band! still listen to them to this day. Saw them twice when they got back together last year...sublime pop!

[@wayneelliott7011]

Oh, to have experienced this Great Band Live. Have all their Albums, but can't recall them coming to Australia? What a Great Frontman Steve Mack was!

[@Westerdd]

Think they were about to head to Aus for a tour then it got pulled at the last minute. The band split following that setback.

[@obtainiumgaming4472]

Thank you for posting this! Such a great band.

[@jeffmartin-g8r]

One of my favorite Guitar Pop bands. Chemicrazy is one of my favorite albums - the interplay of guitars and working the permutations off a melody. Very fun. I wish I had been able to see them in concert. Thanks for posting!

[@theideastring4706]

Love That Petrol Emotion, massively underrated. But the intro is like something off The Fast Show !

[@HughDW]

Hi, and welcome To Indie Music Club. N-i-i-i-i-c-e!

[@MrDunkiep]

great back-catalogue, enjoyed watching the whole of this with a bottle of wine while telling my son about what it was like to see TPE in concert back in the day. For me, it all started in the middle of a field at Reading Festival, thinking 'blimey, they're good'.

[@daleuno]

Great gig, I was there but it wasn't actually a The Town and Country, it was a 5th anniversary celebration at Alexandra Palace. This was the Saturday night of 3 with The Stranglers headlining (Hugh Cornwell's last gig), TPE, The Godfathers, The Family Cat and a few others supporting. I think the other nights were had lined by The Kinks and Squeeze.

[@blackjockofmangertonpele]

The Petrols blew everyone else off stage. Including the headliners who really were just going through the motions at Hugh's last gig as Stranglers' frontman.

[@davidellis5141]

A vastly underrated band. Just a mess of words !

[@nicozwet9376]

Followed these guys for a while playing in Holland and Germany, also saw them on my holidays in the UK. One of the most memorable festival and small club bands of my late 20's indeed. Really enjoy this excellent footage... thanks for the memories TPE! ;)

[@daleuno]

And I loved TPE, saw them many times and could do with a burst of them live now - what a great band they were.

[@gito6697]

grande band e poi simpaticissimi ... sottovalutati

[@catrionamcelhinney5854]

Thank you so much for uploading That Petrol Emotion Cue The Music and Seen and Unseen. Have them both on VHS but great to see them here on KZbin.

[@alexhumphries4057]

Love this band, love this performance

[@Motorhomefreedom]

I'm pretty sure I was there... Brilliant gig.

[@mitsdunn]

Great video there Alks, just seen it today :D

[@sensiblemania]

Ignore the intro, skip to 2:24

[@bagpuss1970]

Thanks. Who was that dinosaur? Like a Harry Enfield parody!

[@keith-leecastle6700]

A joyful band , ultimately destroyed by the lethargy of their time...And yet U2 continue..

[@scottoswald3021]

if this was indeed the band at Hugh Cornwell's last Stranglers gig...then this was recorded in 1990

[@gengisokhan]

Iz v good, thanks just found it. The intro and graphics etc is being all knowingly ironic, innit? Either way it's a masterpiece - just a question of whether to laugh at or with... Advice welcome

[@Jinglejangleboy]

Didn't know Johnny Clegg played with the O'Neill brothers...

[@antodarcy1]

This is brilliant! Pity about the Clem Fandango introduction.

[@mikemc9823]

amazn

[@SantaDeerhound]

No V2?

[@markd7013]

This isn’t the town and country. It looks like ally pally...... maybe t town and country stage at a festival

[@s.i.g.4861]

It is Ally Pally where they held the T&C Club 5th Anniversary series of gigs in 1990. The Saturday night had The Stranglers as headliners (Hugh Cornwell's last gig), The Godfathers, TPE, The Family Cat and someone else I can't remember at the moment although I do remember how flipping hot it was!

[@robertgowans6750]

Unfortunatley that boring old goat put me to sleep before I could watch the rest of the video
