Electricity (Live 1981) - OMD

[@cornflakegirl6523]

Wow such a nice crowd, no mobile phones, they were all dancing and enjoying the music..

[@mop714]

Actually there was, motorola (large cell phones)

[@MultiGreatescape]

@@mop714 technically the first handheld was 1983 - Motorola DynaTAC 8000x...the concert was 1981.

[@mop714]

@@MultiGreatescape I stand corrected .. could not remember when the first mobile phone was, I knew it was early 80s.

[@nickseidler2534]

Every one of these attendees would likely have been using a cell phone to record this amazing show if they could. It was a legit trip to jail if someone was caught recording or photographing a concert back in those days. Illegally filming, likely a 5 year prison term and $250,000 fine. Fans who recorded shows back then were treated like criminals simply for trying to preserve the memory of a moment of their lives. Trust me, most of these fans would have had a cell phone out if they could -- after they work on electricity...

​@@nickseidler2534jaja sobie robisz. Nawet gdyby ludzie posiadali taki sprzęt, nie do wyobrażenia by to było w Polsce. Każdy by nagrywał. Policja by była bezradna.

[@photoshoott2022]

One of the most amazing songs. So great, upbeat, uplifting, the way music should be and sound like. OMD and the 80s made a huge impact on me and my friends. We loved that era of music, we loved OMD and enjoyed every second of that era. Brings back so many incredible memories and thank you for that.

I feel the same way and loved them in the 80’s. And now work in energy democracy and community solar and this song is so relevant!!!!

Straight from my clubbing days, I was 21… 63 now…where does the time go.

[@jean-pierrejipi5720]

Andy sings, dances and plays bass guitar all the time, it's always amazing to see

[@carlosrazuri6839]

Que temazo, se lo envíe a un amiga que estaba deprimida y me lo agradeció. Le dije mira piensa y siente al ritmo de electricidad

[@laurentegels501]

This 1981 (in Drury Lane Theatre) live performance was simply terrific. The audience seemed to be hypnotized by the upbeat rhythm and Andy's dancing performance. Fan-tas-tic !!!

[@lorenaojedasantodomingo7372]

I just want to say this ... the concert dates from 1981 at that time I was 3 years old ... today I am 43 years old and with all these years already lived, I can only describe this feeling when I see all those people moving to the rhythm of this song , to the pride that one feels seeing the success of a son ... that is the purest feeling of a human being. I could never attend a concert of them but I feel a great feeling that in my place all those people were able to express all my feelings in that concert seeing how that public lived and enjoyed it. I feel happy about it all .. I love you ..

[@humanchannel7825]

You can see them now

[@phantos_says]

You are loved.

The ultimate example well said..... I grew up in the last generation the 90s were a blast as a teenager.

I was 16 in 1981, and I miss all this terribly.

Isn’t this just amazing? The best song from the best band and such an astonishingly good performance.

Mind blowing performance. The shots of the audience are phenomenal. Malcolms drumming on this are a different class.

[@castlehorde4304]

Excellent performance, excellent song, excellent crowd

[@roxanata]

¡Què alucinante! Matarìa por estar ahì. Esa performance es històrica. Toda la gente disfrutando como locos sin celulares en la mano perdiéndose la magia, sin pantallas ni luces inteligentes detrás de la banda, sin cuerpo de baile... la forma mas pura de disfrutar un concierto. Hoy en dìa los llaman "intimos" a los eventos así, pero no son otra cosa que volver a los orígenes de lo que era la música, las bandas ochenteras, con una legión de seguidores ganados a pulso y no impuestos por las redes sociales. Por algo dicen que "todo tiempo pasado fue mejor"

[@gilmarromerosulca1601]

Si supieras las veces q la baile omg

[@elenabedmar3650]

Ahora esos jóvenes del público rondarán los 55 o 60 años, pero seguro que pueden explicar a nuestros jóvenes una o dos cosas sobre la diversión.

OMD was very under rated. Remember listening to the first LP in 81 and knew they were a talent.

[@steveg1891]

God I love this song. I also love how the audience appreciate amazing (talented) music.

[@sirionesti6326]

Adrenalina pura

These guys are amazing live so much energy its unreal synth at its best

[@gerardusch]

Phenomenal live performance. Music & drums played to perfection. WOW

[@cybertaiga9534]

What a performance! What a venue! Love it. I have seen OMD twice- once at Cardiff St.David's Hall in 2007 (where they played Architecture and Morality album in its entirety) and also at Wembley Arena, a few years later.

[@sasicmirko]

Just posted on FACEBOOK- as early 1980s and being young listening to GREAT music like OMD... I was listening to OMD Peel sessions yesterday in my car and I am re-impacted! ☮ ✝ ☪ 🪯 🕉 ☸

[@corinnethiriar6368]

I so wish I had been there! Was living in Montreal in my youth and was only 14 and caught up with OMD craze around 1985, and never looked back. They are the ultimate most amazing 1980s band ever. I love Andrew dancing like a rag doll, could never achieve it, but certainly tried!! Love love love their material from 3 first albums, so this concert is a bijou. Also loved their Junk Cuture and to some extent Crush albums. Saw them 4x in Montreal!! Love you guys always.

[@GodWeenSatan]

Tbh a lot of 80's bands did this same white man dance check out flock of seagulls for an example. The bassist literally looks the same

La mia versione preferita di eletricity, bellissimo live, adoro in particolare il suono del basso Fender jazz, Bravi Omd !! Una particolarità: in tutta la canzone il batterista non da neanche un colpo ai piatti !!! Stranissimo, così anche in Enola Gay.... 😄😄😍😍

[@lorenaojedasantodomingo7372]

Solo quiero decir esto ... el concierto es de 1981 en ese momento yo tenía 3 años ... hoy tengo 43 años y con todos estos años ya vividos, solo puedo describir este sentimiento cuando veo todos esos gente moviéndose al ritmo de esta canción, con el orgullo que se siente al ver el éxito de un hijo ... ese es el sentimiento más puro de un ser humano. Nunca pude asistir a un concierto de ellos pero siento una gran sensación de que en mi lugar todas esas personas pudieron expresar todos mis sentimientos en ese concierto viendo cómo ese público lo vivió y disfrutó. Me siento feliz por todo .. te amo ..

If you saw them now there still wouldn't be this kinda passion from the crowd and aliveness. Most of humanity have now been turned into zombies by their IPhones and had their soul sucked out by life. I don't even have a IPad or IPhone and I live a fine life.

Imagine some bored teenager flicking through youtube and he/she come across this. They think what the hell and give it a go. About ten seconds later they are not thinking OMD more like OMG! Was music really this good? Did people actually enjoy the music and not waste their time just filming it to watch later. Yes they did. We were blessed but this is timeless so enjoy.

[@ZeldaFitz]

This is one of the very rare occasions where the band and audience are totally connecting, OMD at this point we’re really hitting the vinegar strokes era of their career and the audience subconsciously knew it as well.

[@haro82]

Jesus...the 80s were an amazing time...never to be repeated.

[@tortieville1984]

Malcolm (the drummer) and Andy (bass) were so locked in on this performance. The rhythm was so tight it might it impossible for the audience not to get into this. When the drums and bass are in sync like that, it makes it easier for the supporting musicians to also be locked in.

[@paolito]

I don´t know how the bassist can dance and play exactly... and sings!!! good video... first time i saw OMD... thanks!!

[@jesusgonzales9532]
