The Human League - The Black Hit Of Space (Full Live)

[@christopheradderley45]

One of the greatest electronic tracks ever recorded. "Time stops when you put it on" 🖤

[@meoma]

I like Human League after the split, also i like Heaven 17 - but for me Oakey, Marsh and Ware together was the best period of Human League. Even Human League MK2 and H17 were more sucessful - in commerial matter.

I like this song. Travelogue from 1980 is a good album.

[@mickyday2008]

Soundtrack of my twenties. Brilliant

[@cosak23]

i must have played this a lot as i still remember the words to this day :)

[@soundmasterbigbuck5]

i have a tape of the dutch gig on this tour, this sounds like a more adventurous version - more keyboards.. nice job on the visuals..

[@slickepinne]

I remember first time I heard this. It was in the 80's.

[@TheRealTwigman]

I couldn't stand this bland sound any more so I walked towards my deck to turn it off. All I could see was the B-side of the disc which had assumed a doughnut shape with the label on the outside rim. I reached for the arm which was less than one micron long but weighed more than Saturn and time stood still. I knew I had to escape but every time I tried to flee, the record was in front of me.

Superb....saw at the Hammersmith Palais.

Estilo introspectivo nessa primeira e pouco conhecida fase da banda.

[@stevecalow711]

Is this from the tour the band had to go ahead with after Bob Last, their manager, had engineered the split? It was heavily covered in the music weeklies, I seem to recall. The first song in the set list was Judas Priest's 'Take On the World'.

[@HairyMcHero]

Hoots!

[@SaviourGermany]

Is this live version so unique or is there a demo version that sounds the same? I only find the final version from the 1980 album "Travelogue". It's the part at 1:57 making it sound more interesting instead of the much too clean Travelogue version.

[@JohnLCastell]

I remember the rumor back in the day was that this song was about Gary Numan's instant pop fame.

[@Garylpool1]

you mean their jealousy (which they have all admit to) of his success.

[@chrisgibson5267]

Strangely enough; I wondered the same thing myself. OMD were certainly surprised by his success.

[@trevorday4281]

@@chrisgibson5267 I don't understand OMD's jealousy as it was Gary Numan who gave them their break by having them as his support act for the Touring Principle tour in 1979...

[@Garylpool1]

OMD were and never have been jealous of Gary Numan. Martyn Ware admits he was jealous but admits he was very wrong

[@Miller14100]

How do I find the studio version on youtube??

[@jrmetmoi]

Lee Miller it's still out there somewhere
