The Human League - The Lebanon (Countdown, 1984)

[@techjunkie68smusicandtech56]

This song literally changed my life in more than one way, so glad I finally found this video. Brings back some memories....I now live in the very city this band came from, Sheffield, England since 1994

[@davidbanner9661]

I love Human League and 80s. I was born in 1980 .im italian.masterpiece.

[@MLB9000]

Love Phil's Judge Dredd t-shirt. They even did a tribute to him called 'I Am The Law'.

[@ZeR-rk6yp]

Excellent song with a meaning, God bless THL and lebanon 🇱🇧

Als je bij popmuziek mag spreken over een meesterwerk, dan is dit er wel eentje!

[@gerrysalaets6761]

Vorig jaar naar een optreden van The Human League geweest, nog altijd dezelfde topzanger zoals vroeger 👌

[@gjv2234]

Mooie opname ook van countdown. Top band.

[@AlejandroMS67]

And today this song is once again more relevant than ever.

[@rainjar]

It never stopped being relevant. Peace is just war by another name.

[@terrymccarron3515]

just found the countdown stuff on here its fantastic quality

[@gamingwithcallum6087]

@@hackdaniels7253 he’s basically saying that they are miming this I think

[@hackdaniels7253]

@@gamingwithcallum6087 Ah right. Cheers. I mean, people do mime and lip synch on tv shows. Depends on how much time they have to get the sound right... and whether they think the audience is more interested in hearing the record and seeing their favourite popstars, or if they want to see proof that they're proper musicians who can play and sing. If you forced me to make a judgement about which approach was better, I'd merely say that the skill of being able to sing and play live is massively overrated. Loads of really brilliant music has been produced by people who can do neither - and vice versa.

[@gamingwithcallum6087]

@@hackdaniels7253 well back then it happened a lot. On 31st March 1983 on the show Top Of The Pops New Order tried to do their song Blue Monday live. It all went wrong. One of the guys loaded the floppy disks into the sampler the wrong way round so a thunder sound played instead of a choir sound (which was samples from kraftwerk’s song Uranium) and sometimes the wrong synth notes were being played. Was a disaster 😂😂😂

Take me back to this year please?

My second favorite of their songs after Don’t You Want Me.

@@CountDownEU It looks like it was recorded live on videotape, and whoever was in charge made sure it wasn't just thrown in a box somewhere. It certainly has held up very well.
