[@jasmineblack9778]

New line-up is fantastic

[@stephenbennett1643]

Such a shame they're no more than a tribute band now ! Sometimes you have to know when the party is over ? Should have drawn a line under it when Dave passed . Jet retiring was the beggining of the end for me.

[@grahamharlow7471]

Absolutely superb performance... Every song was nailed to perfection...

[@seanluke1000]

Fantastic performance…The Stranglers were always unique and their sound was hard to define…After all these years, amazing how fresh it still sounds.

relentless a stand out in a flawless gig.

[@philwise872]

Mk1 Stranglers can never be beaten But sadly can never happen again I went to see Mk5 at a sold out L'Olympia in Paris last year And they were brilliant

[@joedoyle5593]

Can love Roberts and still love this lineup. Can love this lineup and love em tonight with Toby. Top performers.

[@jkarn8]

I loved all line ups, the music über alles ... it's just floated my boat for 47 years 🖤🐀

[@Kung_Fu_Jesus]

Yeah great to hear some Norfolk Coast, still a great album. Paul rocked it when he was on board, lovely bloke too

[@yellowcake1964]

This really is the dog's hairy bits. Superb. A band that has honed its craft over the years - despite the line-up changes - through gigging regularly, putting in the work and writing brilliant songs. The Stranglers have always been musically excellent and the current line-up is no exception. I've followed the band since 1977. I obviously loved the Hugh Cornwell era; not so keen on the Paul Roberts phase but still good; and this present incarnation is as good as ever. JJ needs no explanation, but Baz has been with the band for years, and the so-called 'newbies', Toby and Jim fit in perfectly. I genuinely thought after Dave's passing that it would be the end of the band - he was that unique. But no. I really rate Toby. He's not Dave, but as near as dammit. With this line-up they still sound like the Stranglers.

[@jkarn8]

Awesome, always, depuis 1977 pour moi 🐀🖤

[@stevegirkins]

OMG GREAT. Thank you

[@garincha4138]

fabuleux!!!!

[@bristoltoffee]

[@Kung_Fu_Jesus]

Howay Baz , if you’re reading this. Great to see you all fired up for the 2020’s, miss working with you all. Looking and sounding great with Jim and Toby on board, tight AF. All the best mate, Charlington Charles

[@Raveninblack1]

Nice upload. Arte took this down and now I've rediscovered it! Cheers from Yorkshire

[@nasticanasta]

This is such a great song...saw Strangs 2 times in the USA...Our whole neighborhood was made up of all guys and we all played an instrument, listening to them since 70's.

[@graemenicol6377]

Great upload thanks

[@YukoTogashi]

かっこいい❤❤❤❤

Epic

[@Rockstardust69]

Awesome

[@Dolores5000]

I love them ❤

[@LW-no9sm]

It's only ONE Strangler.

[@essexpaul6423]

brilliant

[@learningpianoat61]

With the Norfolk Coast LP The Stranglers came full circle and gave us the best LP since Rattus Norvegicus. (In my opinion, of course!)

[@thirdeye147]

Nowt wrong with that Great Set ❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🍌🍌🍌

[@londoncalling1757]

The stranglers is a band that's not allowed to die ... its become a relay of musicians that want to be a strangler.. they will probably still going in the 2090s .. there will probably be at least 3 more line ups by then.

[@papabenoit782]

JJ will be replaced?

[@jonathansteadman7935]

Not Blackstar amps but Bazstar amps. Baz Warne.

[@user-ul1gs4ee8j]

ストラングラーズの演奏は続く。 俺のトライアンフも走り続ける。

[@herseem]

There's not much separation between the instruments somehow. It's almost as if there's reverb on bits that shouldn't have reverb.

[@TripleDes1]

Is this new stuff or album fillers ❤

[@herseem]

The keyboard player sounds too subdued somehow. Somehow the way he's playing or the sounds he's picked are too in the background compared to Dave Greenfield, who was more foreground.

[@ralphieralph9176]

no Golden Brown...

[@f3lixtube]

But Harry was there!

[@paolozak3014]

« crotte de taureau » …heum heum

[@pozsonyiadam6512]

Stranglers? Hahaha... Tribute band.

[@herseem]

Well, as a life-long stranglers fan ever since I heard the first two bars of 'Nice 'n' sleazy', and having seen them several times in concert including the penultimate concert with Hugh Cornwell (it was the Brixton academy) I'm 10 minutes into this and so far it's bland. There's nothing musically innovative or even particularly stranglers-sounding. They've started off sounding like an average pub band with not very distinctive sound or material. Update: Ok, by the end of it I'll admit I'm drumming along with every song. So it does grow on you.

[@user-hc9xt8xf1i]

I agree, but most of all with your update. Glad I kept on listening to the whole concert.

[@jarrahdrum]

@@user-hc9xt8xf1iI think this line up is fantastic I’ve watched this concert quite a few times now. (I’ve seen them live throughout the years) I’m not pining for tge original line up. They laid the foundations for what is now and this band are continuing their musical legacy. Great band

[@jazzmanb445]

If you saw the last Hugh days your memories shot because they were awful .Watery versions of old songs with a brass section ,bass sound wound right off . Dreadful . Not my thing anymore but Dark matters is a great album and this line up is tight as ...

[@herseem]

@@jazzmanb445 well, I just saw them at Guilfest and they were great

[@jean-lucmelisse6014]

Terrible

[@ramalama9650]

It wasn't terrible. In fact it was a faultless performance. Shame it was performed by a tribute band, all except one. They shouldn't really be using this name now.

[@johnnyf6617]

@@ramalama9650 In French, "terrible" can mean awful or brilliant. And it isn't always easy to tell which one is being used in written French.

[@eymerichinquisitore9022]

​@@ramalama9650For me they didn't have to use it anymore after Ten.

[@stephenbennett1643]

​@@ramalama9650Yeah the real Stranglers, are dead now, Just a tribute band now im afraid. Time to call it a day.

[@hughwilliamson4787]

What a great little concert from the men in black

[@oliveroneill1388]

Crap .
