The Stranglers - The Raven. Live in Paris 1983

Better audio, a classic performance, The Stranglers at their best.

[@whatsitwhosit]

A great rendition...top notch!

[@michaelfinn7871]

Its quite possible that the stranglers had the best bassist and keyboard player in the entire history of rock music

[@JHatLpool]

It is quite possible that you are correct.

[@happysalmon6719]

I would even be so bold as to say that this is a perfect band, lightning in a bottle.

[@brutallyremastered4255]

Yes

[@pigglesy]

Now behave who wrote this stuff oh and the drummer was class but everything was done around the best keyboard player who ever lived.

[@bibsma3401]

Maybe, but I wouldn’t discount Japan, Simple Minds, or Magazine

[@alexbrown-ks1hq]

greatest band ever by a country mile

[@alastairwest5200]

What about The Doors..?

[@vincentdelhommeau4667]

Pas assez connu, hélas !

[@adrianions2805]

What aboot them?​@@alastairwest5200

[@blancaroca8786]

How the hell can any human invent such wierd music? And they had an album full of this. Genius.

[@grateberk6435]

Cornwells guitar is fantastic. All the little riffs

[@keithphillips1687]

Yes amazing guitar counter rhythmic work from Hugh

[@wellingtonweather5120]

The diverse counterpoint fills and responses from HC which are not often acknowledged really elevate The Raven. All round brilliance.

[@ChrisM541]

Many folk are not aware of how 'musical' - and musically diverse - The Stranglers were. The significant contributions from everyone, particularly Dave, made this a fantastic band that stands the test of time.

[@MsAlien911]

Layers. Of beautiful rhythms, sounds, harmonies. I love the Stranglers.

[@mrwhite6717]

An amazing piece of music - start to finish. How about a word for Jet Black? Solid as a rock. All four complimenting each other perfectly on this one.

[@covermania927]

I was there, maybe my best live memories

[@jeanfrancoislabedz7491]

Bonne anniversaire à Jean Jacques

[@chrisway8232]

Great track,great band, good quality sound, thanks KZbin. 👏👏Absolute peak Stranglers, JJB on top form...fucking love this...play loud....R.I.P. Dave...💀

[@kevinhanson4703]

I love how this song melds into a rhythmic flight of a Raven due to DAVE GREENFIELDS splendid synths, then into Dead los Angelis

[@magirusdeutzjupiter2234]

The Raven, just like Stranglers them selves, all in black, smart, and know what they are doing.

[@erwinvandijke6169]

One of the most under appreciated bands of all time...

[@Chrisamusic1]

So many wonderful textures. This is rock music at its most raw and beautiful. Magnificent band.

[@stevenknight8445]

Brilliant album saw them at Crawley leisure centre 1979.brillant plus the stranglers allways are loud 100 per cent

[@stewright539]

I thank you for that comment, sir.

[@AP86777]

Best album

[@Dialsquare-eh4ho]

Always found it hard to choose between rattus, black and white and the raven

[@raveninblack]

Superb to hear this live recording, the best song ever from my Fav Band. Its hard to think that the Raven Album release was 41 years ago, however it has'nt aged its got better! I have a number of Vinyls of this and the American double a sided single with Duchess. I wonder how it would have done had been released as a single in the UK. Its just great!

[@nigelprosser5692]

Classic

[@jopemaen]

My favorite piece from the band! Just cant stop loving it!

[@John-wu2mn]

TBH nothing in my mind touches Toiler...

[@patrickryan5570]

Sounds so beautiful - a real masterpiece in performance - the talent in that band was completely insane.

[@andrewraden1590]

It's so beautiful

[@FFM0594]

The first Rock n Rollers who didn't play Rock n Roll.

[@fredmossberg2069]

So good!

[@paddydaly9616]

[@Dialsquare-eh4ho]

I know I'm not alone here, but bought the raven 3d the day it was released

[@philcollins9353]

Je crois que j'y étais. Tournée la Féline

[@snoopibenquoi5217]

Non, la tournée "Feline "c'était 1982-83, sauf erreur...Là c'était la tournée "Raven " :)

[@snoopibenquoi5217]

Correction...c'était bien le "Feline" tour ....

[@gabuzomeuzomeu1]

Tournée Féline et ça se passait à l'espace Balard, j'y étais et je crois en compagnie de mes potes musiciens. Dans la salle les mecs d'Indochine y étaient aussi. Le Dave était flamboyant il avait son Oberheim si je me souviens bien !

[@snoopibenquoi5217]

C'est la tournée "Raven"...3 ans avant la "Feline"

[@snoopibenquoi5217]

Correction...c'était bien le "Feline" tour, à l'espace Baltard à Nogent

[@hawranhrafnain6066]

[@thebob5568]

my all time favorite rock band...sadly, all down hill after this album

[@esseremusico]

Hugh Cornwell is not only a great composer and singer, but also a great guitarist, with solos composed of complex and varied harmonies and phrasings -Hugh Cornwell,non e’ solo un grande compositore e cantante,ma anche un grande chitarrista,con asoli composti da armonie e fraseggi,complessi e variegati. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpLSpJydnpyIZq8si=KPEl5DBWRX4tx_aa

[@thepierreesteves]

And drummer

[@lewisupton1054]
