O.M.D ENOLA GAY (LIVE)

[@marianamour]

I love this song! It has this beautiful touch of the 80's but still is timeless... best synth pop ever!

[@Pacquaio]

Excellent song, great to see it performed live, thank you.

[@goodjon11]

God bless OMD for their life's work. There will never be another one like them. I dont care what anyone says, the crap that passes as pop music today is total CRAP compared to the freshness, honesty, and pure feelings of what OMD did in their heyday. God bless you guys! JG

[@ghostpuppet31]

Well to balance things out, here's a normal comment. Great video and sound quality, a real '80's classic for sure 😃😃😃☺

[@michaelmurphy07]

This has to be one of the best live versions of any track, by any artist(e)s, I've ever heard.

[@geovee4726]

Epic

[@NYJimbo]

I hate the fact they were often mistaken for a "boy band". These guys were vey talented both vocally and instrumentally.

[@LipsLikeSugar78]

I must have been about 12 when my older sister gave me my very first OMD cassette, which I surely played until I wore out my old-school tape deck. lol. ;) This will forever hold a very special place in my heart. ♥

[@shifterkart1]

Every time I hear this song, I want to get up out of my chair and do those funky 80's dance moves! You all know what I'm talking about! Hahaha!

[@alcarox]

Yes they are. They come from a village near Liverpool, as far as I know. Enola Gay is one of may favourite song all along. Great song and great memories!

[@morticiapompom]

when i first read the lyrics i got goosebumps.they're so simple and clear.love it.

[@delta0921]

Wow, this live performance is so good. I remember this song when i was in college at the Univ. of Miami back in the mid 80's. Miss those days but at least can re live it on YT.

[@MarcBrewer]

One of the best synth pop songs ever written about an airplane!

[@nygelsylvester4634]

One of the best synth pop songs about anything :)

[@googleuser6866]

This video is a clip from "urgh! a music war" I have it on the now obsolete very large Laser Disk format, far superior to VHS but still an analog system. My disc has been played only one time to capture it to very high bit rate MP4 so the disc never gets damaged. This is the best performance (urgh! a music war) of this song ever. Someday I'll post the MP4 here but I have questions about copyright that need answering first.

[@OLDS98]

I really enjoyed seeing this. This was great! Thank you for adding this video. I placed it in my favorites.

[@MarkGelderland]

I had the studio version playing along at the same time and it's EXACTLY the same...that's very rare. Conclusion: An impressive live performance.

[@B52sguy]

Great performance and excellent vocals. This song just rips me up with conflicting emotions. But one hell of a guitar rift. Thank you for posting. JF Portland, OR

[@humanchannel7825]

There is not guitar just bass

[@XRodge]

Absolutely love it, fantastic live version of an 80s classic!

[@crockillo]

buen video, una musica de los 80 excelente. gracias por poner este video. saludos.

[@303kbps]

he sounds really good, seriously I didn't expect that great vocal live performance 5/5

[@michaelmitchell8218]

Great live performance. Great band and sad we don’t have bands like this no more where they put everything into something and make songs like this. Glad I was young then to enjoy this.

[@sonia691000]

I'm going to see them in Montreal, the next March 6th...I'm sure it is going to be very good !!!!!! All fans will be there !!! Viva OMD ! Montreal ROCKS !!!

[@1daughter1son]

I saw them last Saturday in Toronto. Best show ever!

[@djmusicjac]

Enola Gay Is mother proud of little boy today Ah-ha this kiss you give It's never ever going to fade away

[@DiabolicalButler]

i love this song, i worked at sunglass hut and there was a retro music muzac that played one summer and this was on it, i love it.

[@Davy323]

I was looking for the WWII Enola Gay plane but came across this and thought eh this is going to suck why am I going to watch this. After watching it I think it's pretty cool. lol. The music is very catchy! Great Song!

[@alansready]

thisd was from the early 80s and it was great . this was one of theose great bands from the ealry 80's there first 4 albums were great. dont forget joy divsion and the smiths

[@ChuChu353]

Thank you!!! Another killer live performance from "Urgh - A Music War"

[@Buyaka90]

MYYYYYYY GOD!whoever posted it,i thank U very much(:

[@iking93]

small band...GREAT SONG. Greetings from Greece

[@JJ62]

Possibly the best liver version of Enola Gay I've seen. Takes me right back to my youth when I was a huge fan.....

[@adduxe]

It's amazing how this group can perform the song as good as in the record! :-)

[@Joe-mz6dc]

That was one of the fascinating developments back then. When analog synthesizers first hit the scene, people would go see artists like Gary Numan and Tubeway Army and they were shocked that the quality of the sound was so much better than the old school guitar, bass, drums band. The bottom line is those synthesizers sounded even better live than they did on the record compared to the old standard rock band sounds from concerts in the 70s. Especially if it was a show at a venue with decent sound quality.

[@thisistheway2987]

Super epic solid gold... .. thanks for sharing .

[@Parasmunt]

Probably the best sound i have heard from a synthesiser, magic song.... Was intriqued how such an awesomely uplifting and wholesome sound could be associated with such a dark event.

[@tobesone]

thanks so much for putting this song on, havn been trying to find out who its by for ages

[@bibiJ63]

That's what I call a Fantastic Live performance!!!!When you listen to the meaning of the words(lyrics)they are sad..but the song and the music here in this video are simply Awesome!Thanks so much for uploading! This is one of those timeless numbers that stay in your head and can't get it out for a long time...

[@vascoantonio9215]

Conhecia a canção mas não sabia que era dos OMD musicas lindas dos anos 80/90 décadas de ouro da musica pop que passaram mas que deixam imensas saudades !!

[@91mozz]

62 more days and i'm seeing them at the Nokia theater with both of my lil bro's it's gonna be AMAZING!!!! I may have not been born in the 80's but New Wave is the Best screw modern Hipster music :D

[@Pighood]

Met Paul at the University of Maryland Record & Tape Exchange back in 1984. A nicer fella one could not meet.

[@DrentseRedneckOfficieel]

I to man! And I´m 16 and come from Holland. But this music is Real music! No computer. But Instruments, And singing. That´s what we call music!

[@JLennonOno]

A classic, wonderful 80`song. Andy`s voice is brillant.

[@LibraNYC4ever]

I remember when I first heard this song and didn't quite understand all the lyrics and thought it was about a girl! LOL But then once I had the CD and read the lyrics about the plane it was sooo sad!! Weird how the music's upbeat and the lyrics are sad.

[@jimkerr6570]

Still as good and fresh today as it was back in the day. Have saw them live on many an occasion over the years still amazing.

[@TheGabriel811]

I can't get tired of listening to this superb song. Great performance, they gave their message.

[@coolrunning101]

Correct. Enola Gay was Paul Tibbits's (the pilot) mother. "I have no regrets" he said years later in an interview. "I had a job to do, and I did it."

[@crumards2]

I think this video is from the URGH! concert in 1983. It has XTC doing Respectable Street on it too. Great DVD if you can find it.

[@user-ro4cu7om2g]

Best of new wave of sync !! Such a Legendary sound ❤❤❤

[@MirekDudekiDorotaGawart]

It was 80 years of excellent music.

[@cannonball2207]

I saw OMD at Hammersmith Odeon back in December 1980!! Where has the time gone?

[@thevoid99]

I love this song. My favorite OMD song. That clip is from the film "Urgh! A Music War"

[@dariagrzelak7151]

2k17, i was born in 2001,love this song

[@DomiTheGreat123]

one of the only band from this genre with such great lyrics! great

[@blueballtravel]

This guy could play bass and dance better than any white man I have ever seen... I saw them several times in Hollywood in the early 80s... This band was really special they seemed to truly Love their art... The 80s were the last days of truly original music...

[@flares]

You're right. I loved the 80s when I was 15.

[@kelsall1000]

absolute classic cant believe it has been so many years and rest in peace so many people who died in the tragedy xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[@titiboulettetwist]

This song is so beautiful !

[@Mor2rus]

I remember this time!Thank for show!

[@WV591]

Sure miss the 80's and 80's synth pop music. so much energy and good times.

[@TheGabriel811]

I can't get tired of listening this song. Superb. They gave their message.

[@YukeWeiss]

This was how I discovered OMD. Crazy to think I own all their albums and this was well over 10 years ago now.

[@TheHelena76]

saw OMD live yesterday 18 june 2011...still so great...and Andy mC Cluskey is still hot and really energetic wow!

[@M4AtlasC]

not long ago they play this song on radio when i was in work and i was positively surprised ;]

[@koanzx1]

Sa déchire j'ai toujours aimé cette musique :p .

[@Retroscoop]

No youtube, no mobile telephone, no internet, no e-mails, no Ipods and Ipads, mainly still vinyl everywhere.. Yeah, it was more fun: people still could say "hello" to someone that joined in waiting for the bus or train. Now everyone is living in a cyber bubble, with headphones on, or playing with Ipads or laptops. When I was young in the 80's, I wanted to live in the 1950's: cool cars, good ole rock'n"roll and amazing views about how the 21st century would be...

[@ginocasio]

Sublime tune that has stood the test of time........

[@KiieChan]

Ofc it is!

[@19TommyT74]

OMD one of a few electronica pioneers of the 70's ... then there was retro and then was techno .. long live OMD

[@brcampbe]

This song is from Urgh! A Music War. It was a sort of new wave documentary that featured tons of great bands.

[@snappycruise]

la chanson la plus triste et le plus dansée. "Enola Gay! tu aurai du rester à la maison hier" est la première phrase du premier couplet. Hiroshima mon amour ...

[@GilbertPeeters]

OMD nog steeds Top !!! Echt genieten Night of The Proms Antwerpen 2009

[@FTArmyagain]

One thing that is truly awesome about this live performance is that it is ACTUALLY live and not lip synch.

[@amnesiacradar]

Absolutely amazing, sounds so fresh and vital, what an outstanding performance.

[@christiann.2859]

GRANDISSIMI 0MD...... Grazie, fantastici!!

[@ayenmariflor]

i am an 80's dude. i love going back to the 80's.

[@bunkersoldier1966]

Orchestral manoeuvres in the dark.. 1 of the most under stated bands of the early 80's..Bloody excellent posting,any1 got any idea where it came from?

[@felino37]

Isto sim é música, belos anos 80, e agora estão de volta, só espero que se lembrem de vir a Portugal.

[@Angusismyhero]

@CRISSYSEE I hope you get loads and loads of thumbs-up... I love this song and I hate seeing people insult my country on it! (Of course the UK have more of a history of war and stuff than America ... we're way older!)

[@barcelona1981]

This is an excellent song, absolutely great

[@MONSTERBAITERS]

Whats the name of the video this is from? I used to have it recorded. Lots of good music. Oingo boingo Gary Neuman Chelsea Omd Echo and the bunneyman. Great concert!

[@jasonlefler3456]

It's from Urgh! A Music War.

[@Kemet09]

This was the midnight show when I worked at this Art Theater in high school! Great memories! My manager kinda looked somewhere between the Bass player of OMD and Jeremy Irons! lol

[@mariuszjozwina842]

Muzyka w tamtych latach dała tyle miłości ,że jest Ona ze mną po dziś dzień

[@PhobiaGuy]

i never realised my old korg micropreset played such a big role in this song!

[@pilarus123]

ouuu... OMD The Best... :) Happy New Year from Poland - Gdansk - for All :)

[@pm004j0848]

excellent live take of a briliant omd track- love it

[@anstonian]

Sheffield City hall UK. 1981. What a concert. LOL .

[@Matti757]

OMD wyprzedzalo swoje czasy!!! Te utwory nigdy sie chyba nie znudza!!!

[@BIGINSF]

OMD is awesome! I'll be seeing them at Fox theatre oakland CA uSA 3/26/11. Yeah!

[@shaggy39uk]

Alot of people never realised that this is a very sad song too.....upbeat song about death, destruction, doom!.....drink a few beers and remember the people who died and the person flying the plane that dropped the bomb, god rest his soul!

[@RoccoValentino]

i love this song. everything about this performance is so tight.

[@hobbily]

though t provoking song from with out doubt one of the biggest best bands of the 80's, anyone out there know whether they're still going??????

[@fusas]

The varsion of Enola Gay of Jose Galisteo of spain, is very beautiful and his cd REMEMBER, very good.

[@bloppy1971]

They are take part of the new wave style... 30 years after we are always listening that song

[@jojokikim]

mil neuf cent quatr vingt ! debut de la music electro ! un groupe d antologie qui encore menant ferait un carton ! vive omd vous etes ma generation quatre vingt ! vbravo bisous a tous les fans !

[@martybop]

Whatever about the discussions about the bombs, what a great pop song. And a great pop song that has intelligent content in its lyrics. There were not that many bands who were doing this. Maybe if there were the teenager's focus on the affairs of the world could have - and could still be - redirected. Great tune with perfect dodgy 80s dancing!

[@owlman33]

totally awesome.... what GREAT memories...

[@droitwichblue]

great days! saw them at the odeom in brum and bought the first album when electicity came out, was the second single after red flame whire light? anyway great stuff and loved all the albums especially sugar tax

[@CseNo2]

OMD Respect :) Very-very good music and song.

[@azshaw123]

Real music with very early memories from the very early 80's when i was about six..A real band not like the shite we here now...OMD are simply ledgends!!!!

[@1969dirkje]

it is so great number, never the music of omd is on the radio,shame dutch radio.

[@goldchair22]

Wow !! esto de verdad que es un clásico !!! lo recuerdo cuando tenía 12 años y hoy tengo 40 y todavia me gusta !! que recuerdos !!!

[@IamTheLandolfo]

I was in Hiroshima yesterday to visit the site and I thought of this song....it almost brought me to tears. The song itself is great yet very simple, but the message is infinitely haunting. The part where he mentions 8:15 torments me because in Hiroshima I saw a watch that a man in Hiroshima had when he was instantly killed by the bomb. The hands on the watch were forever frozen to 8:15 AM, the time when the bomb was dropped.

[@mkcraig69]

you realize this song is 26 years old and he is 26 years older now as well?? :-) Love OMD - All Hail!!
