The Stranglers - Golden Brown !!!Rare!!!

[@kabardinka1]

Dave Greenfield, the composer of this song (the Stranglers at their most Doors-like) just passed away two days ago from Covid-19. He was a very talented keyboardist and the core of this unjustly underrated band.

[@honorsixx6383]

He was truly a great musician and Golden Brown was one of favs. It had an almost baroque harpsichord-y vibe to it, which I really dug. Of a different note (no pun intended), we need to be careful about assigning causes of death to COVID-19. Millions, and perhaps billions, of people will contract COVID-19 and not even know it due to non-testing, which is the rule and not the exception. Apparently, Dave Greenfield contracted COVID-19 nosocomially, that is, while in the hospital being treated for preexisting heart problems. According to Wikipedia: "Greenfield died on 3 May 2020, aged 71. He had been diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection on 26 April 2020, a week before his death, during an extended hospital stay for heart-related problems"

@Lucie Slavíková It was indeed zero covered by any media. Inappropriate!

[@geoffw1209]

Underrated, really? The band received their dues.

[@nikki03]

This will forever and always be my favourite song. It just keeps captivating me no matter. I get chills everytime

[@5277088]

0:19 I love Hugh's folded-arms delivery. His voice is at its peak of perfection, too.

[@yassinerh7709]

still now.

[@xav1952]

One of the greatest songs ever written.Dave Greenfield already at his best !

[@Mitzilola]

A beautifully paced song - complex, yet sweetly engaging. Rare indeed!

[@rene4278]

God bless you Dave, i still listening in 2021 amazing song.

AMAZING - 43 years later, its still amazing

[@craiggorman9392]

Absolutely Outstanding And Timeless 👍 Pure Brilliance

[@antoniomuto-isolani4917]

I am still as moved and haunted by this beautiful song as I was when I first heard it over 39 years ago The stranglers defied classification

[@jrmarrero96]

According to The Stranglers "Song By Song" Hugh Cornwell tells the author that: "Musically Golden Brown is in 13/8, so there are three bars of 3/4 waltz-time and then one bar of 4/4, but it only does that in the pieces where there's no singing. When the singing comes in it stays a straight 3/4." That's a direct quote from the book, by the way.

[@user-vk2cd9qw7i]

You can hear this best a 0:56

[@SfDoal]

One of the most lovliest songs from an innovative and distinctive band; it was a big hit in Israel back in 1982.

Rockpalast was a show in Germany. We only drink golden beer over here to forget our brown times.

Rockpalast is fantastic - so much good stuff preserved = thanks WDR (West Deutsche Rundfunk) - Kept me sane after moving to W. Germany in 82

[@TyGholston]

Cant get enough of this song...

[@irishelk3]

Anyone watching this, i would highly recommend checking out some of the Stranglers other songs, they are a brilliant band, with their own unique sound, and i got to see them live :)

[@innate-videos]

Peter O'Toole thank you for the recommendation 🙏

[@irishelk3]

@@innate-videos Yeah no sweat, they have many excellent songs, they're weren't punk exactly, more Dada rock.

[@lewis72]

Seen them live 4 times and have more albums than I can currently remember !

[@basiljh]

and if you like Golden Brown, start with their album/CD "Feline"... it's from later on but a great recording

[@johnnychuk]

Just great! A big part of my very early 20s! Love The Stranglers! ❤️❤️❤️

[@johnnychuk]

And after I posted this comment I learned that Dave Brubeck wrote it! A double whammy!

[@jonasthemovie]

@@johnnychukDave Brubeck did not write this. He has never played the song.

[@sunnypedaal]

don't mind, underestimated band , love them, specially the keyboard player. at last someone who knows how to handle a synthesizer live thanks guys

[@LockedPig]

Бессмертная классика. Всегда сильно вставляет финал песни.

[@limesquared]

The very first time I heard this song I fell in love. I love fast waltzes. Reminds me of Amelie and Beasts of the Southern Wild soundtracks.

[@Deprofundis142]

Yann Tiersen live is awesome if you get a chance.

[@vincentscully8422]

Rest In Peace Dave

[@frosty7800]

This is why the keyboard was invented, awesome!!!

Cheers, Love this live version. My friend used to ask me 'wonder what mancheirons are?' We would have quite happily married any of The Stranglers.

[@alessandrosarnerlla3545]

Yes It sounds Like One Word but It Is "with my mind She runs..."....…😂lol......

[@cursedy]

Yes I thought that what it was until tonite!!!! Reason I looked it up as today in 1982 on the day it entered the UK singles chart

[@MrKareemBlack]

Simply the best band

[@hammertoebubbaloo]

Beeauutiful!!! So few times the waltz keyboard is shown on live performance videos. Cornwell is so cute too...

[@wizika]

Whaat? I'm from Serbia and I love this song. Why would disliker be from Serbia? Lol.

[@poppyd517]

Besides his singing, I love it, how Hugh C. plays the guitar!

[@dhdeirdrehoran1]

Thank goodness a video that shows all the band.

[@TheErotavlas64]

nonostante la bellezza degli altri brani degli Stranglers, Golden Brown a mio avviso resyera` sempre il Masterpiece della band.

Richard Brooks - He's also my role model as a wonderful keyboard player. There are a very few players in his league like the keyboardists from The Doors, The Animals, Deep Purple IMO.
