I'm on my way back to 1980 so will join you for the ride.

Hey Assman!

[@EvangelionMusic]

Devuelta a los mejores años.

[@guynamedjoe8695]

Her voice is unchanged and amazing

[@daddyphatsackj]

After all of these years this woman still sounds and looks dynamite. I've always thought she was nothing but pure enchantment...❤️❤️

[@Mike_Davidson]

Damnation, she's still hot as hell after all these years.

[@GeorgiaGeorgette]

@Ron Garvin Just because no woman that hot would be interested in you...

[@daddyrabbit835]

I'm 50... she looks hot to me

[@GeorgiaGeorgette]

@Ron Garvin Please stop embarrassing yourself, you're making me cringe.

[@Haktarr]

@Ron Garvin I'm just curious - what such an accomplished and successful troll is doing in this godforsaken tread? Man, you've got to be real hungry to fall so deep.

[@ericdraven7857]

@Ron Garvin Truth. She didn't age well.

[@madsdam5327]

Man the moment she started singing...instant time travel.

[@sagittarius_a_starr]

The "Bob" haircut, will always, indefinitely, be the sexiest haircut. Rock on pixie of my dreams...

[@timwilson7162]

She's got a killer natural groove! She lets you know it's her song she's singing as well. I'd be proud of this one as well, surely this paid a lot of bills over the years. This performance is spot on and Saffron's voice sounds superb here. Good Job! Really good song and one of the best hooks ever, it's held up quite well... Wow! so has she, what's she like what 50+ yrs old. Saffron is still sweet looking!

[@smosh91]

she was 45 when this was filmed.

[@timothywilson8328]

Tim Wilson approved?

[@davidkay1948]

That's the difference between rock and pop rock let's u know its their shit pop are just puppets

[@bendavis6722]

when I played the grand theft auto series plus gta online way back when one of the songs in gta5 reminded me of this song I meant in gta vice city sorry love fist band in gta vice city sorry for getting off topic.

[@MatSciMinded]

Damn, Saffron still has it! I can't believe those guys could just sit around while this was playing. I’d be starting a mosh pit!

[@paulgolder]

For fuck's sake, this is not a gig, it's recorded for live radio

[@AdasiekkkTrzeci]

@@paulgolder yeah maybe a mosh pit is a touch inappropriate for a radio gig; however, personally I'd find it very difficult to sit completely still, and even if I were asked to not stand from the seat, I'd still be grooving in the chair. I think that's what our friend above meant :)

[@buukaczi]

They old cut them some slack

[@mabelpup8502]

Not sure this is a mosh song…

[@meal_team_six]

They sound really good!

[@cello1972]

Pasaran los años y Saffron nunca perderá su belleza❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@samwellfoden]

She couldn't help smiling at that drop and I feel that 😂

[@BobbyGeneric145]

Hahaha same thing I always picture!

[@jesselaurencemusic]

There are so many complimentary things I could say about this song. The way Saffron sings is stellar punk singing. And she’s such an entertainer. Jonny’s guitar parts are so cool. And I really like this particular guitar he’s playing. Tim is so clever with synths. The composition in this song amazes me too. They’ve also added a great drummer.

[@Jolgeable]

I like how she switches from kind of talking/shouting tone to melodic hitting the notes with precision. I've seen some covers but none of them pays attention to that.

[@jesselaurencemusic]

@@Jolgeable I agree, when other people cover the song, they don’t capture what she does when they sing it.

[@jasonwishere3121]

She does it best even at this age becos its her song and nobody can do better than her imo...

[@atilax6452]

And she still looks awesome 7 years after this. In my book, Saffron has ALWAYS been the coolest woman in music.

[@Haktarr]

[@BrashFink]

Agreed.

[@BrashFink]

@@Haktarr Shirley is awesome… even back then was not as hot as Saffron. Sorry

[@Haktarr]

@@BrashFink we're talking coolest, not hottest.

[@wgalletto]

She is very charismatic!

[@NeedsEvidence]

Awesome voice and instrumentalists. Magic of the 90s....

[@chelseaguy70]

They still sound fantastic and Saffron as beautiful as ever!

[@AbbaSixx-d8t]

Excelente voz la de Saffron!!!! Yo estuviera saltando y bailando a más no poder!!!!

[@contactojaime]

The mid nigties was an amazing time to be young, maybe the last ones. So many memries. thanks Republica!!!

[@johncalvert1736]

No voice can cover her in a band. She is unique

[@Dukefazon]

I love it when bands can actually perform their music live. In the 90's it was mostly playback or they just simply couldn't replicate the album feel on stage. She's real and she can deliver those notes!

[@adellis24]

There is a ton of playback used here. The guitarist looks lost half the time & clearly isn’t playing the primary licks.

[@DJKinney]

​@@adellis24the keyboard is playing the samples. Which I don't consider euro-style "playback."

[@shane1v]

@@DJKinney Point is it's not just them live, they have some help. She and they still sound good.

[@wolfman0791]

The bass sounds killer.

[@robertjablonski9778]

The bass and all sounds like GVSB.

[@toddlangworthy1361]

Recorded bass track, but whoever played it did a nice job….with a 5 string. Better than the original!

[@Yuri-Tiza]

Estupenda interpretación... Saffron siempre es un deleite musical y visual... ❤‍🔥

[@fasantan]

No había escuchado esta canción en décadas, sigue fresca, impresionante, la voz es la misma! ❤

[@GamerPhilosophy]

She still have such Amazing voice 💞✌😊👍

[@BrashFink]

I love seeing her sing this song more recently. I LOVED this song back then and really wanted them to become huge. I enjoy it because she seems to genuinely still enjoy singing it, and that is sometimes rare in a group that only had a couple hits. They typically appear it is some kind of chore. She also is as beautiful as I remember when I was mesmerized By her in the old video… and annoyed by the jump cuts and zooming. Lol. I just wanted to see her and take her in. Thanks for the memories Saffron.

[@critter7052]

This is the best live version I've seen performed by these blokes! The drummer looks like a kid. Thanks for posting, Paul!

[@70sChangedtheWorld]

hes hittin in the pocket too...

[@zaggyzig1304]

I Remember Them In The 90's...they Still Sound Great.!!

[@thedon9247]

She ages like wine.

[@maximilliancunningham6091]

People in that room, will likely never see a better live performance in their lives.

[@maxgallagher2535]

Saffron , my love.. I’m glad you’re still so beautiful and look fantastic after all these years.. You reminded me of the my most beautiful teen memories with this video 😍😘😘😘

[@sbrash007]

WOW AND DOUBLE WOW! This is probably the best live recording of this awesome song I've heard from Saffron since the US version of this song! Looks like the crowd was waiting for Glen Miller! Too bad because she's still got it in my humble opinion!

[@paulgolder]

We're *all* waiting for Glenn Miller.

[@varukerbrains]

gorgeous lady indeed. I was at the Foo Fighters gig with her in Brighton. She's got it and she's lovely.

[@Holonomics]

Given the context of where this is being performed, they still really rock. Imagine this performance in front of an up for it audience. What a great performance from an underrated 90s indie pop song.

[@Canadarago]

I’m 70 and love this song. Just about the best crunchy groove ever played and perfect vocals over it. Unbelievable that they can make a sound this big with guitar, drums and keys. The audience must have been on sedatives - this is a great performance.

[@garystone7854]

It's a small local radio station in Brentwood Essex. I don't have any context unfortunately. I just know, as I've performed on there before with a band if mine

[@spnhm34]

It would be better if it wasn’t in a leisure centre. And it wasn’t Republica

[@wooferdevlin3571]

I winced when I saw the title. folks trying to relive their youth. not good. the first lyric is supposed to be subdued- I'm going- I dunno, could be pretty tired. then Miss Saffron fixes her hair and sprouts a giddy grin- BAM - ITS ON! I was so wrong. great energy, powerful, sexy, playful. motivational. I am not worthy. ♫ ♥ Ü

[@rockbb]

There's something so satisfying about watching a drummer play left lead. Love it , the energy is insane. Fantastic job

[@creativitycell]

I had such a crush on her in the 90s, was at Manchester Uni. Fucking craziest 3 years of my life, until I went to live in a East London Art Squat for 3 years in '99 instead of getting a job! That was next level mental! Fucking unbelievable! Still recovering!! 🤣🤣🤣😎

[@Joker88LESWALK]

Forever a Classic!!!🥰
