The person (probably an aging GenXer) waving their walking cane beginning at 1:39 is my favorite part. "Get out the way kids, Grampa's gotta mosh!"

[@taliertagreen7264]

This song is something incredible, it directly hypnotizes and makes you cry. It's a mind blowing combination of guitar melodies, rhythm section and Mark Burgess' vocals... His voice is just amazing! I love this song very much. Bravo, The Chameleons!💓

[@hector_m1973]

Reg Smithies....a sorcerer of muted chords, what a master!

[@taliertagreen7264]

Totally agree👍

[@Shoegazings]

Without being shoegaze, this song is more shoegaze than the whole fricking shoegaze scene itself. Which is quite phenomenal.

[@floratan5520]

His voice is so beautiful. The song.....fantastic

[@CatoMinor]

The insert of "The end" by The Doors in this song adds quality and fascination. I appreciate the tribute that Mark Burgess always gives to other artists like for example his great friend Adrian Borland of The Sound.

[@gemimasaliva]

The Chams and the Sound. Two criminally ignored bands.

[@pressureworks]

@@gemimasaliva wrong, look at and hear the audience !

[@pressureworks]

Has also done shout outs to Alternate TV and The Fall.

[@gemimasaliva]

@@pressureworks Obviously i don't mean their fans

[@kalenbaker7901]

Hoping to see them on their postponed Canadian dates in 2023. They better play this one! One of their most powerful songs

[@roytbone5791]

Me and my wife were at this gig.Have to say they were brilliant and the atmosphere was great.

The return of an incredible band… 2/4 of glory.

[@mrbungle3310]

Props to the drummer....

[@heaven56110468]

Yeahhh Reg !

[@grahamstreet6537]

The waving of a walking stick. The audience is my age group and know good music.

[@chrisrailton8869]

Mint band so underrated

[@frankbaaske3449]

Eine der besten Bands aus England!Super !!

[@brad42948]

In this lineup they have achieved the almost unachievable for bands that survive many personnel changes - they have once again taken ownership of their sound. Amazing power in songwriting of this standard.

The band gets back and this fucking pandemic hits. What a shame. World tour quality here.

I've never seen this band but boy I really want to I hear there playing early 22 I think Nottingham rescue rooms. I'm not going to miss it hopefully some other gigs on that tour

[@nglimer]

[@fatheremmet2003]

Reg is back👍. Stay safe lads and see you Sept in Brum.

[@thesound-chameleonman3580]

@@ericlebrun1640 he definitely won't be returning sadly.

[@MrLimborace]

Please come to Boston, not the song but the sentiment.

[@idiamin1457]

Did you see them when they were in Boston last?'87 I think . At Spit, down by fenway if I remember correctly. Unbelievable. If they came to the states at all, you know Boston gets a show. Out here in Arizona I think I'd be SOL.

[@levisguy53]

they were supposed to in 22 along with The Mission and Theatre of Hate, don't know if the show was canx or not

[@larbeargonzo832]

Is this the original lineup sans John Lever?

[@avpr1574]

Make a great 12 inch.

[@nglimer]

Agreed

Who are these racists he refers to?
