Most criminally underrated band from 80's along with Chameleons , And Also The Trees and some others...

[@LunaEscarlata.]

if only Garel Funk and Pollard had not disintegrated.

[@pabloimireia]

The Sound..

[@CapstoneTider]

It is criminal. They were a little late to the party, but by far the best. Casualty of a broke record company. Slag was awesome.

[@danielm2200]

@@CapstoneTider late? I don t think so Like..their first record was in 82? In that time I think post punk was in his pfime

[@CapstoneTider]

@@danielm2200 yes they were victims of broke label.

[@fabiorock6]

imagination 42:15 and Colourless Dream 48:12 are outstanding songs.!!

[@antoniocarrabba7634]

The music before the gig starts is Brian Eno - Music for films.

New subscriber, just for THIS. This band is amazing I cannot get enough of the harmonies, the bass, and that lead guitar cuts right into me. Cannot get enough ❤️

[@fredbouwmeister3951]

Saw Them on the 13th of may this year in Rotterdam, at a little venue for about 100 people. Great concert from a band i loved since Epic garden music!!!

[@alainbervoets10]

Love this band. Far underestimated.

[@alanbaeza1302]

Hace mucho buscaba un concierto de los 80s de ellos, que genial poder verlos en gloria y majestad al final jaja, tremendos temas.

[@chriswolter8407]

The fact this video only has 68 comments exemplifies just how little attention SLAG gets. It is truly a travesty; however, they keep doing their thing, for themselves and for us!

[@GazelyGaze]

69 comments ... keep em coming!

[@kkdream99]

Wow that’s just perfect. I love it so much. The vhs quality and colours just add so much to the raw feeling.

[@GazelyGaze]

colours were different back then...

[@israelstp8164]

Tremenda banda excelentes temas !!

[@user-qf3cb1ld2y]

Love them

[@CapstoneTider]

SLAG harmonically Hits The Sweet spot of everything I absorbed growing up. Most underrated band I have ever heard.

Thanks a million for uploading and sharing this!

[@philtrace]

great concert !!! thanks for sharing

[@stephane9544]

Clé, Colourless Dream and Lost in a Moment are among the very very best post-punk / new wave / blabla records ever made. It's a shame that they are not superstars.

[@adrianberrocal]

I attended the same month their Paris show in L’Élysée Montmartre They were supporting the Essence Great souvenir

[@GazelyGaze]

I just found I have a tape of The Essence from this same gig. It's the last night of the tour, and the two bands do two numbers together. Stay tuned!

[@jjjuanize]

Excelente aporte. Gracias por compartir

[@KurtFuller]

Menudo guitarrista Tristan Garel-Funk. Guapísimos todos sus riffs, y que bien maneja los delays. Uno de mis guitarristas favoritos sin duda, tanto en *Sad Lovers & Giants* como en *The Snake Corps.*

[@nothinglastsforever77]

Hola Kurt, el guitarrista en este video es Tony McGuinness, no es Simon Blanchard (Tristan Garel Funk), estoy de acuerdo que Tristan es un gran guitarrista e hizo un gran trabajo en los dos primeros álbumes de SLAG, pero debo reconocer que a mi gusto Tony supo llevar la sonoridad de los SLAG a un punto más Neoromántico y Dulce, no tan oscuro, rock o punk como Tristan, también apuntar que la mayoría de guitarristas ingleses de inicios de los 80 en adelante, eran auténticos maestros del Delay, Reverb, Chorus, Flanger etc....Un saludo.

[@cj22cj]

this is amazing! thank you!!!

[@Sukant98]

Lovely outro to Colourless Dreams. Amazing!

[@richfeddersen5173]

Is Cliff on bass? I knew him when we worked together in Harrow, liked to have the odd beer!

[@WalberWander]

Yeah. According to Discogs, Cliff plays bass on this show.

[@israelstp8164]

ARE YOU WHO MAKES RECORDINGS FROM AND ALSO THE TREES********************

[@adrianberrocal]

grupazooooooooooooooo a diferencia de Snake Corps Sad lovers fusionan mas los sintetizadores con los riffs

[@nothinglastsforever77]

Hello everybody, anyone knows who is the band at the end of the video? 1:02h.

[@GazelyGaze]

@nothinglastsforever7892 - Hi, yes, it's The Essence (as it says in the text overlay). Nice guitar tones there! They were a Dutch band from Rotterdam who issued 5 albums. I just checked, and I do have a video to upload; so I'll do that soon. They must have supported Sad Lovers, as it's from the same night. Thanks for spotting them! These days I tidy up and edit videos now I know how, so it didn't get cut out. Cheers!

[@GazelyGaze]

AND ... I just checked The Essence video. There's a couple of numbers at the end where Sad Lovers & Giants join them onstage to collaborate on each others songs! It's the last night of 10 on the road together, and they're having a bit of a party. Looks like SL&G went on before them. Will upload when I can; not sure if I have time before Xmas but we'll see.

[@xbln1005]

there's the essence video?

[@GazelyGaze]

Yes! Just found it. They do two songs together. Will upload soon!

[@israelstp8164]

No estoy seguro si al final del concierto de sand lovers giants sale la Banda the essence o si esas imágenes son antes del concierto ?

[@9graff9]

Ese show era en el mismo mes que este concierto

[@GazelyGaze]

@@9graff9 I've just found The Essence tape! The two bands do two numbers together at the end; it's the final night of the tour! It'll get uploaded soon.

[@adrianberrocal]

wich band is at the end ?

[@GazelyGaze]

The caption says it's The Essence. Maybe they were supporting, as it gives the same date. But there's only a couple of minutes of brooding intro before it cuts off.

[@GazelyGaze]

But now I've found The Essence tape! And they do two numbers together with SL&G as they're having an end-of-tour party. Will be uploaded soon.

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

SLAG is the best worst live band. They are so skilled and precise there is hardly a difference to the studio recordings. So, if you want to hear the songs you love exactly how you remember, you are in luck. And if you want to hear something fresh and different, you will be bored out of your mind. . Was the VHS digitized as 480p, or 576p?

[@tomsmith4542]

song list?

[@GazelyGaze]

Songs now listed in the description. It was in the top, pinned post, but easy to miss.

[@kimmronseldam]

Awesome 10*!
