I produced this programme with The Stranglers back in 1980. Superb.

Brilliant. At their very best.

I waited all day to watch this, wouldn’t shut up about it at school, then 5 mins before it was due to start, my shit of a father sent me to bed and confiscated my radio as it was synced broadcast on BRMB. So thanks for posting as this is priceless to me.

My Favourite Stranglers Era !! Thanks for posting !!

[@Germanarchie]

The greatest footage I have ever seen of them....

[@noestahechalamielparatuboca]

muy buenos , geniales, fantásticos . su mejor época

[@420waluigi]

it's one of my favorite live ever, the setlist is perfect, the transition are wild. the stranglers are the best of the best

[@MarkMiddlemiss]

They just seem to be at the peak of their powers here. What really strikes me is how this is only three years after their breakthrough, but they are pointedly avoiding the early, big and obvious hits. No Peaches, No More Heroes, Something Better Change, 5 Minutes, Nice N Sleazy. Such confidence in the newer material including unreleased songs like Thrown Away, which always seems better live than the studio version.

[@zypalitra8080]

Studio version's alright but if they'd put this version on the album I'd care for the song much, much more than I do. The studio version's like a joke song.

[@noestahechalamielparatuboca]

no creo que esté el concierto completo

[@zypalitra8080]

Really good version of Genetix from them. It's a shame that the audio quality isn't top level but regardless of that thanks for uploading it!

[@keithpalmer1998]

Thank you for this performance of the Stranglers. My favorite era of the band. JJ is the only one left , unfortunately . What a sound! Crank it up loud! JJ and his thundering bass. Hugh on guitar. Both on vocals. Jet Black keeping the beat on drums. And Dave on keyboards. What a wizard.Amazing. Put it all together, an amazing wall of sound!

[@215Gallagher]

Glad I found this and it's interesting they tried out Blown Away from their least successful album during the Hugh years, but I do like The Gospel According to the Meninblack.

[@nickytanner]

Wow that version of Genetix!!!!!

[@libre-tad6283]

Bloody hell.. I've waited for a set like this since then too, I only heard about this, I saw them on the MIB tour, tour this is the closest I've heard to that experience

[@ArthurSmith-b3r]

Brilliant!

[@sinepolskiyihor]

Royal performance

[@pauldavis9567]

Excellent!

[@paddymacIV]

different Vid and audiowise from the other clips on here , but in a way, this rings home to me more kinda like what it felt watching it at the time. Nice one

[@officialblueboy1509]

Absolutely faultless. Such a talented band and the sound is incredible; backing vocals, guitars, keyboards and drums. I also think that creatively this is their best period by far. I think they started losing it around La Folie.

[@christopherreilly582]

They were the business back in them days as soon as Hugh Cornwell left disappointing

[@alanwaites8627]

Yeah I lost them after Hugh left. RIP Jet and Dave😢

[@215Gallagher]

@@alanwaites8627 Going to see them for the 6th time this coming March 2025. I only have a compilation of their between Hugh and Baz years, but otherwise I have all their studio albums.
