The Stranglers - Just Like Nothing On Earth Live 1981

[@michaelplatter3281]

Hugh Cornwell on Vocal is terrific and breathtaking. He's an Beast.

[@CottferLAD22]

Hugh Cornwell - best front man ever.

[@CatoMinor]

Excellent execution of an excellent track of an excellent album.

[@alanhawley8900]

dead right mate..

[@alanhawley8900]

+CatoMinor ...try it, even better.(i think)

[@alanhawley8900]

+CatoMinor i love the family..live.

[@Ownzo]

When The Stranglers mean business - like they do on this track - they are the best band ever.

[@kevincox7134]

Hugh was rapping 1980 awesome 🎶🎶🎼🎼🔊🔊🍺👍

[@dannycostello1978]

Hugh is masterful on this.

[@djshowtrial4565]

Only the Stranglers could pull off that shit. . Fucking amazing!

[@John-vn3wf]

pure genius

[@TheOrizooners]

Hello The Stranglers, you have been a major influence on me ever since my teenage years : the songwriting, the amazing musicianship and alchemy of all four of you (I think it was probably JJ who made me wanna play bass in the first place), the attitude. Thank you so much deeply and please go on forever. CHEERZ, ZAK

[@plopnod]

Perhaps thee most under rated bands ever. This is them at their very best imo

[@rudydynxx]

this is profoundly amazing,best band ever.

[@beefheart1410]

Great sound. One of the Stranglers greatest singles.

[@woodsie2740]

Outstanding 👽

[@Lenak2266]

💜Amazing 💜

[@littleghostfilms3012]

Stranglers Live From London is best live album of all time!!

[@paolozak3014]

Amazingly unpredictible UFO song, resembles nothing else I've ever heard. Crazy shit that is. Hugh is fantastic and so idiosyncratic !

[@MeBurdman]

that is a tasty drum beat

[@EmmaYaBasta]

One of my faves by them, at their most Fall-like.

[@infocado]

I used to have a warped copy of the single ,which added to its strangeness every time the needle jumped. Only the stranglers could come up with this

[@kentborges5114]

TOTALLY STRANGLED...priceless.

[@VINCENTECT]

Timeless!!! Caught 'em in 80sumtin, NYC last date together...for THAT time.

[@VanMoth]

Awsome stuff. Thanks for posting. I was big into these guys back in the early-mid '80s. I managed to see a watered down version of the band in the early '90s. Only the bassist and keyboardist remained from the original group. Still I managed to enjoy it. I wish someone would post a vid of "Ain't Nothing To It" and "The Man They Love To Hate".

[@LarzGustafsson]

Absolutely brilliant.

[@thomaswictor1751]

They need to make a law that all cameramen and -women who film concerts must be musicians. Every time I see a rare live performance, the camera spends all its time on facial closeups.

[@mwothe]

No doubt, I had to watch almost all the way through just to see where his pickup selector was!

[@darrenhodgson2348]

Difficult song to play live but by thunder they fuckin did it.

[@CurlyJo]

I miss Hugh :)

[@allyearclan]

Notice this was just after all their gear got nicked, arguably the best sounding tour, but the worst circumstances for a multitude of reasons

[@ernestogovea3192]

take me there!!!

[@guidocereja]

Hugh is much better than the current rappers

[@beefheart1410]

I'm not sure this actually is 1981. Considering Burnel isn't using a Precision I would hazard a guess at 82/83. I could be wrong though! They did a couple of tours to support the "La Folie" era material I seem to recall (the second time being after "Golden Brown" had become a hit single) so, although "La Folie" the album was, indeed, released at the tail end of 1981, this could still be 1982/ 1983 on tour supporting that same record.

[@80ssynthfan48]

It is 1982. It's from "Off the Record" which is also on KZbin.

[@chrisinblack1964]

It's 82. JJ is using a BB1000 Yamaha bass. Couldn't replicate the sound of his Fender Precision. He used a Steiner headless for a while before going back to a Fender Precision. Fender still refused him a signature bass after all the years. JJ now uses handmade basses from John Shuker and now has that familiar grunt back.

[@seanmaher2987]

It's funny - this is my fave Stranglers album. It's a strange response to heroin. I feel protective of this one.

[@markm1138]

cant take of without the original. but thats how it began,,so way ahead of faaaaa

[@theobjectivethinker64]

Cannot help thinking this soundtrack influenced the approach musically for the meninblack films in some way.

[@Ypipable]

I could just go on the roof.

[@johnanthonyp]

You heard it hear first-Trampy high

[@theobjectivethinker64]

They were advertised in 1977 as PUNK Floyd angry Psychedelia certainly not prog rock as suggested by the comment above. Hugh was a big fan of early Floyd and Cream stuff like that. But PUNK they were.

[@baraksteady1341]

I feel like Brian Eno must have been somewhere on their radar.

[@Noodles37UK]

They were just too intelligent for mainstream interpretation.

[@allredgriff7425]

sorry baz but Hugh i miss u

[@Nazzz65]

''Weeeeeeee repr-esent The Lollipop League......The Lollipop League......The LOLLIPOP League......''

[@TehGav]

You kinda have to work with the Clash. They make a lot of mistakes, but that's part of the appeal -- they're always trying to do something they don't know how to do yet. Case in point: 'Combat Rock' is almost a crappy album, except in the middle of it there's 'Straight to Hell,' a reasonable pick for the honestly best rock song of all time. I'm not a mindless fan or anything. I'm just saying.

[@lindahamrick3531]

he's not even singing

[@randomvideodude2356]

I think he is singing a different song 😐😐😐

[@firefoxsonico5427]

Solo como nadie en la tierra ,stranglers it's Alive.
