Nürburgring, june 2, 2012. Alternastage.

[@nelldarlin9996]

I love Dave's expression in response to the audience's reaction to those opening notes at 0:16

[@socke2745]

That and the little mistake he makes right before that. Happy little mistake ;)

[@KeithTrigwell]

RIP Dave Greenfield. Respect.

[@EnSombrayHueso]

Best composer in our century. RIP Dave Grenfield. Lest all fell fortunate for its music. And salute his legacy on every toast. For Dave.

[@TheOrganist007]

what a musician. I love his smile at the start when the audience recognizes his song

[@delby66]

Not just a great keyboard player, but genuinely a great bloke. My mate and I were lucky enough to meet him when they were on tour in Canada way back in 1981. We spoke to him before the concert and he said to us to come out back afterwards. How lucky were we to meet him and the rest of the guys and yes that included Hugh. Dave was the most friendly one and we spent about a half an hour chatting to him and having a drink with him. What a great guy and I was devastated to hear of his passing. RIP Dave. You were truly one of the good guys.

[@bartdegraaf2161]

RIP Dave. Thanks for every thing you did with your music. You have made a musicale foodprint on this planet. You will be missed

[@headron66]

RIP Dave Greenfield. This is your song. Genius. 3/5/20

[@delby66]

So much so Thistle. I met Dave in Canada back in the early 80's. What a great keyboardist.....an even better human being. I'm gutted. Loved this band. Very sad day. My condolences to his family and close friends. May you rest in peace you great person. You'll be missed but never forgotten, by me anyway.

[@freddieblue6351]

So true...big stack of Yamaha cs1x synths...love this band.

Such a brave song. To think you could carry the entire thing on the organ chords. Genius

[@tylerc56]

Such a technically tricky song as well. Such a great flow though.

@@michaeldurrant8446it’s a great song and Procol Harum are great but it’s not as good as golden brown

...this tune is part of my DNA...

[@stormduchess3128]

RIP Dave Greenfield. Much loved by the fansinblack.

[@latenightlogic]

Two live versions of the song I’ve looked at tonight, both missing the iconic keyboard high note. I need to listen to the studio version before I go to bed now. Guitar solo in this was at least on point.

[@macdoug1234]

Anyone get through 1982 on heroin still here to talk about it? I made it but 3 friends did not

[@tandraig]

OK - its not cornwells voice - BUT, its still an amazingly good song!

[@drexlspivey5828]

Their voices aren't so far off that Baz sounds out of place though, his voice suits the songs like Cornwell's did, that other singer though... He didn't fit in any way in my opinion in voice or the way he performed

[@2011littlejohn1]

I lent this guy - Baz my Gibson L6S once at Pete's practice place in Sunderland. Very nice guy known him a long time.

[@angelikanaturelover7315]

Rip, Dave.... so sorry for the family

3 OUT OF THE 4 ORIGINALS NOT BAD, CONSIDERING THEY STARTED OUT IN 1975 AS A GARAGE TYPE BAND ALMOST 40 YEARS AGO!! THE ROUNDHOUSE DVD CONCERT IS AMAZING CONSIDERING THEY HAD NOT DONE THOSE TRACKS LIVE IN 30 YEARS!!!

[@stevobath]

Dwight Whikehart Only 2 here, unless Jet Black has lost about 5 stones & about 35 years?

[@weliveinazoo6597]

+tommy hill I know that. The guys got serious heart problems & last time I seen them he played only 2 songs before being wheeled off stage with an oxygen mask on. To be fair, the guys 77 now & he has problems travelling too.

[@charlesnelson7007]

tommy hill jet black does not play any gigs anymore at all.

[@siongriffith2413]

Fly straight Dave. Absolute genius

[@Neil2022]

[@friesenddlmasonrxe1336]

It’d be nice to have Hugh back... Just one more time... please Hugh... Baz Warne sure knows how to do it! I wonder how many people are actually on heroine in the crowd lol

[@farah07960]

WOW....AWESOME....

[@rockartistet]

Saw them at Bradford University students union. 1977/78 the crowd was 50 people .stage was a foot high. They would go to the bar mid playing.

[@RELAXINGMUSIC-dn5rt]

[@BunniMonster]

Bunch of twats complaining that Hugh and Jet aren't there, like Hugh didn't leave the band almost 30 fucking years ago and the last time I saw Jet play live, he managed a whole song before medics had to wheel him off stage. They've been around longer without Hugh than they were, with him. Until my own health issues stopped me a couple of years back, I saw The Stranglers every damn they came round Birmingham way and I have to say, Paul did a good enough job on vocals and Baz has been great. Now, Hugh is as much a part of The Stranglers as Pete Best is a part of The Beatles. Get over it.

[@nolappang]

I, in JPN, think the Stranglers was forgotten with my regret, already so many years ago. But I myself think their song never been rusted even any other person than Hue sings. Of course he was the Stranglers, I know. but nothing can stay as it was. The band must not. I've accepted the latest Stranglers 'cause no variation couldn't be found in whole their history through 35 years. 最近になって彼らの昔のテイクからわりと最近の曲まで聴く機会があった。パンクブームの時にもてはやされたけど、それは当時の時代性と彼らの指向が重なったせいだ。日本ではとっくに忘れ去られてるけど、俺は今になって見直してる。ヒューが去ったのは残念だけど、昔の歌が歌い継がれてるのは、ヒューに対するのを含め、The Strangers がリスペクトされるからじゃないのかな。

[@judge980]

This band needs Hugh Cornwell.

[@kiely]

2 outta 4 stranglers ... JJ & Dave 4 evah

[@OneHalfVirus]

In many live performances hete on YT as he starts to sing he's putting up his sleeves - know this song is about h, but I wonder is this (I mean sleeves) coincidence or hint

RIP 😞

[@lindadote]

+MrCol916.......You're absolutely right of course. (Truth be told, I don't even recall making the comment). All I meant was it wasn't a blatant rip off as in, it IS indeed their own song. The original song was quite an achievement (nearly 35 years ago) so obviously the guys are older, Jet has medical issues and there have been lineup changes. Hugh's absence is immediately evident and I'm not sure if it's just this recording but the vocals sound a bit harsh to me. All posts of the original Studio release have been blocked here so I guess I was surprised to find this at all. I've been a bit out of touch lately (don't dare turn the radio on) and didn't even know they were still playing. I guess if you're still drawing a crowd, that's what matters but I'd love to see the Studio version back, it sounds as lovely as ever and it was a good clip. They are vicious here, blocking even local bands from time to time. Best regards from Australia.

not original voicefor tune but come on he is fab real good voice

[@vincentdelhommeau4667]

Le petit quelque chose la première fois que j'ai écouté Rattus Norvegicus c était déjà la présence des synthés de Dave, la batterie jazz de Jet,les rythmes faussement discordants de Hugh,et la basse bien musicale de J.J Burnel.Toujours suivi,un peu délaissé période Valley of thé Birds, mais un synthé a l époque punk, fallait oser,et cet instrument donnait le tempo au groupe,en s octroyant une belle partie du titre.

[@Misszuckerschnute1]

It's about heroin and also about a girl...

[@minou211]

In his book The Stranglers Song By Song, Hugh Cornwell said that "'Golden Brown' works on two levels. It's about heroin and also about a girl. Essentially the lyrics describe how both provided me with pleasurable times." The "girl" in question was Cornwell's Mediterranean girlfriend at the time.

[@lindadote]

@ Paul claridge......This is not a cover! The Stranglers have aged like the rest of us.

[@MrCol916]

+Linda Jones ........aged and replaced 2 of the members

[@paulwood7798]

No they did,nt. One left because he thought he was bigger than the band and went on to multi platinum sales and selling out the bowling ally at the dog and duck. The honourable and most gratifying presence that is Jet Black is still an active member of the make up of the band but is now in his eighties and physically can not play. Hugh leaving left a big hole in every bodies heart but some of us get on with life. If they cause you a problem walk away we don,t need your shit view on life we can make up our own minds and get your facts right

[@charlesnelson7007]

Linda Jones jet Black is not in the stranglers anymore he has not made a appearance with them since march 2015 and he will never ever play with them again unfortunately because like you say he's a 80 year old man he can't really do it anymore, Maybe he could play a song on there next studio album tho as baz did say in a interview that he has been writing lyrics for the next album.
