The Chameleons - A person isn't safe anywhere these days

[@johnburgess2384]

The most understated Manchester band ever.

[@pressureworks]

Every audience member here disagrees with you, and each have reported your wazzer comment !!!

[@annelaurechampenois2648]

The best, the very best

[@dannytaurus5783]

Most criminally underrated band from the 80s. Was there at the gig. Was at UCL and went down in the afternoon.

[@thefersko]

what game ?

[@pressureworks]

Not Underrated, look at the audience, they all disagree with you. And have all reported your wazzer comment.

[@bune.trails6448]

Along with Adrian Borland and The Sound

[@Luisdefunes1]

This band is just in a complete different level or dimension or whatever. F...ing amzing!

[@traceybonds8794]

not bbc radio 2

[@TheChameleons73]

The end of this song, the final minute is pure genius.Rock music does not get any better than this.Sad, that so many people preferred the U2 posers instead of The Chameleons.

[@gel6988]

This band is so good, intelligent, rocking, post punk rock music at it's finest

[@gwalker3276]

My ALL TIME Favorite Band - I've been listening to them since the beginning and this past Sept. 2015 - I saw them for the 2nd time and got to chat with Mark Burgess again for a bit. It WAS awesome. Mark is such a nice, cool guy. They performed "Script of the Bridge" in it's entirety and it was amazing. I never get tired of listening to that album. It's been the soundtrack throughout my life.

[@vikingmomo]

Incredibly cool story Georgia! Script of the Bridge and What Does Anything Mean, Basically?.. If I was stranded on an island with only 2 albums, they would be my 2 choices.

[@blaialosaliver6878]

Uno de mis grupos que me han acompañado musicalmente en la vida. Desde València (España) maravilloooossssooosss! 🎤🖤🎸

[@Boudosaved]

I found The Chameleons by accident last summer when I was looking up who sang "Falling" on the Real Genius film soundtrack. The band was The Comsat Angels. I looked up similar bands and up popped The Chameleons. I bought their 1st 2 albums at Amoeba Records in Los Angeles and have been listening to them EVERY DAY in my car ever since. Timeless and better than the shiyza played on mainstream radio. I'm upset it took me 25 years to discover them.

[@nopisful]

Unparalleled rawness and depth during a time of synth pop/rock

[@buckrogez87]

This is like Perfection in two dimensions. You have the totally bad ass beginning and middle then it just morphs into the most beautiful sounds you could ever end on.

[@softlightsymphonyband]

buck rogez Driving rhythm section , ambient textures, tempo changes, layered melodies. This band was a force of unparalleled energy and beauty.

[@pfaprado]

The drums on this song makes it sound/feel in a perpetual tension that only finishes with the song itself. Brilliant way they crafted it all.

[@RanXerox84]

Cette chanson des Chaméléons déchire tout simplement.. et le bassiste est un tueur ! ! !

[@1vootman]

God they had a magnificent sound

[@Dephts]

RIP John Lever

[@H18ury]

Saw them twice in the early 80s for the grand sum of 10 pence... loved them then and love them still.

[@jasonunsell2778]

This was the Chameleons at their very best. I saw them then at there prime. This band and Joy Division are the best bands ever period

[@pauloazevedo2740]

Dont forguet LowLife, The Sound, and most recently Iliketrains.

[@pauloazevedo2740]

But i agree the Chameleons are best ever, and Joy Division in the top 5 ever.

[@altermustv1876]

Nothing knew about these two bands both... Thay had both very good, interesting music and lirics, profound...

[@calabazas123]

Adquirí el Script of the Bridge en cuanto tuve ocasión, sencillamente genial, quedé enganchada a su música. Y los vi en Valencia, en Chocolate, allá por el año 85 si no recuerdo mal pues ha llovido mucho desde entonces. Gracias por poner los videos y poder disfrutar de esta música.

[@blaialosaliver6878]

En el primer sitio que actuaron fué en la discoteca Isla (Valencia-L'Alcudia). Ese LP es caviar. Yo los he visto 5 veces y espero una 6

[@TheChameleons73]

You won't regret to love them, i assure you. . We all know the inmense value of their music and the balsamic effect it has for our souls... Regards my friend!

[@thierrybotteman5623]

Above everything and besidesall the rest... their songwriting is just fabulous....

[@NewPaltzIndie]

everything about this band is perfect. the chiming guitars, that relentless backbeat, those vicious lyrics. what more could you ask for?

[@GoForGo5]

such a great band 🙏♥️

[@MrMerlin87]

just beautiful

[@pfg333]

[@didric9121]

[@TheChameleons73]

[@Boudosaved]

Great bands you listed. Also The Cure The Smiths Joy Division New Order Echo and the Bunnymen Hoodoo Gurus Comsat Angels Ride Slowdive English Beat The Clash

[@blaialosaliver6878]

[@peladocure]

Un Temaso!!!!! Gracias.

[@snorgue]

Super live d'un groupe que j'ai beaucoup aimé dans les années 80 Un style unique , super merci pour la vidéo

[@MrHappe22]

aah...i love this band!

[@lifesaver2179]

SUCH EVERLASTING LYRICS

[@MrDravenLee]

Amazing band! Would love to have seen them live. Great song :)

[@thedawnoftheblackhearts2745]

This is to emotional to bang your head even in the 80s.

[@deeray41]

Great live song... I have the Chams UK and Mark with the Sons of Goo doing this... You don't get to hear this kind of music very often anymore.

[@enchantresss1]

Hi Guys- I Love your music- i feel your music and your words speak to what is happening in the world today.. I post your song on my facebook so that all my friends can enjoy your music...

[@LakersFanBoy4life]

This is just epic and magical live! And it's funny because I don't care for the album version of this song, but I LOVE dis live version.

[@felichagomez]

Timeless.

[@TheChameleons73]

Welcome aboard, Boudosaved....It's never too late to discover good music and great lyricists like Mark Burgess.....!

[@TheChameleons73]

Sus albumes son "script of the bridge", "strange times", "What does anything mean basically", "Why call it anything" El mejor es sin dudas el primero, script of the bridge.

[@TheChameleons73]

De nada amigo es un honor poder poner esto al alcance de gente que jamás los vio en directo....Ellos se lo pierden...

[@blaialosaliver6878]

Yo los he visto 5 veces y espero la 6.Desde València... larga vida a los CHAMELEONS. 🎸🖤🎤

[@attfieldp]

This is only here say by way of Mark, but my understanding is that the Chameleons intentionally avoided the spotlight, marketing etc. They suffered because of that. Bands like the Cure and U2 actively sought commercial success and made it for obvious reasons. It’s really too bad because they were truly comparable.

[@traceybonds8794]

a song for the times ... evermore

[@HANSGABRIELARANDAODRIOZOLA]

Good Band

[@rioescubelas]

One of the best bands ever

[@greenpudding4103]

RIP John Lever, sadly another collaborator to the soundtrack of our lives has gone.

[@mikethompson5549]

Only saw sun and the moon .. love chameleons...

[@Boudosaved]

Love the songs Crank and Black Metallic by Catherine Wheel. I'm sure there are more that are less mainstream that are better. Slowdive reunion would kick ass. Aren't a couple of them in Mojave 3?

[@NewPaltzIndie]

The crowd shots in this say it all!

[@prozacpeople]

This is AMAZING!

[@TheChameleons73]

Added to my favorites, thank you...

[@austintayeshus1]

Couldn't help but think of current conditions in London while watching this.

[@lifesaver2179]

A KEPT SECRET......amazing

[@SaturnineGirl]

Oh man, that bassline is killer.

[@Andulsi]

They played in London in 2001. Saw them then. Great gig

[@arturocobain]

me gusta los toy escuchando recien q stilo hacen estos tios post punk? haber sin alguien me recomienda un album

[@stefanogallo511]

As she parts her greying hair Voices on the stair When she turns there's someone there Like a nightmare from the past To the sound of splintered glass Dance the monsters in the masks Men of steel Just stood laughing in the rain Have you killed her Someone said As they dragged her from her bed Kicking in her head What kind of times are these No one hears, no one sees As they drive her to her knees Men of steel Just stood laughing in the rain What kind of times are these As they drive you to your knees They just stood laughing in the rain The rain How can you laugh this one away Will you ever laugh this one away

[@Clarky1970]

Fucking awesome!!!!

[@TheChameleons73]

Thank you for your support.Nice nickname, by the way!

[@notlob23]

RIP Sophie Lancaster x

[@Shad0wplay]

I'd wish that the last part of the song lasted forever.

[@Trollbaiter1]

It's on dvd? I was there - I've got to have this!

[@Heresy1987]

Yes you can buy it on dvd. I have it plus a separate gig officially released on dvd from 1984

[@riverplate0101]

The edge, the cocteaus, and curve, slowdive, ect, ect. At least we know the egg came first.

[@TheChameleons73]

@godlesswickedvanian No, this is from the Live in Camden Palace (1985) DVD

[@pressureworks]

Ah yes, the good old days, being crushed against the stage.

[@johnnyswitchblade]

They are very cool! Why aren't they a huge band?

[@modsleix6]

Too damned lucky... I envy you.

[@marcusoutdoors4999]

Massive

[@Boudosaved]

Thanks for the tip. How does it compare to the first two albums?

[@bluehuw]

I think what the chameleons prove is that, 'it was ever thus'. Great choon though Only seen them twice, once in 84 and last year. Both times at Miggleton civic hall(you have to be from there to understand the spelling), and still think they're better in the studio

[@bochimbo1346]

TRE-MEN-DO!!!!

[@alansready]
