Undertones were simply brilliant, the number of great (short) songs is something to behold...and its all over in under 40 minutes.I love this concert. Imagine being there 🤯 Thanks

[@canadianstudmuffin]

The most underrated band of them all. So good!

[@markstang4593]

Saw them in Sept. 1979 open for the Clash in St. Paul. Only now looking back 40+ years later realizing how lucky I was to see them in their prime. Never got their due in the States.

[@davidhowe5415]

What a great band. They had an amazing evolution from their first album (punk) to their second (pop). Both are brilliant. Feargal has a unique voice.

[@cmkimciago9602]

19:34 Fergal takes a tumble, but like the true professional he keeps singing on HIS back! Legend.

[@user-vq2ki1qo1b]

Happens all the time Its going to happen

[@manfredwilliams9762]

Thanks so much for this. I've just spent forty minutes reliving my carefree youth. What a fucking tremendous, joyous, uplifting racket they made!!

[@JAMproductions124]

32:21 teenage kicks 🤘

[@tastemaker_87]

I might even like the song before that even more! 🤯

[@tonylively579]

Thanks for posting I'm a huge Undertones fan!!!!

[@MegaApistogramma]

A fabulous singer and a great band !!! One of the best i ever seen!!!

[@anfrankogezamartincic1161]

I agree. I grew up in socialist Yugoslavia, POSITIVE TOUCH was a big record for me. We had a pretty decent records in stores, Stranglers, Ian Dury, Specials, Buzzcocks...i liked them then, still love that shit

[@utonesfan]

Wonderful versions of When Saturday comes / Julie Ocean and Tearproof

[@adambinnie1332]

Love Julie Ocean song!

[@ephraimlessell]

I think "It's Gonna Happen" is very strong as well. It may not sound as good as those you listed because the mix isn't great on that one, The other instruments drown out the trumpet and baritone sax. And I suspect that it's a really hard song to sing, not out of his range, but the phrasing on the studio recording is so "tight" that I suspect that Sharkey recorded it on two tracks. Good or bad, this recording is most likely taken from the mixing board which can be a good thing, but it can also fail to capture the excitement of a song like "It's Gonna Happen". I'm biased; that and Julie Ocean are far and away my favorites. Cheers from Boston area, USA.

[@thepostie22]

Saw them at Lafayette club,Wolverhampton in 1979...absolutely brilliant!

[@manfredwilliams9762]

Duke Albert Thank you so much for uploading this. They were f*cking brilliant weren't they? Only 20 likes!!?? How quickly people forget.

[@raymondlang]

Hard to believe they never released any live concert DVDs in their prime!!! Brilliant concert.

[@doinacrancher8412]

Spot on mate, they should have then and still should now.

[@raymondlang]

@@doinacrancher8412 Same with The Rezillos..nothing.

[@thomasgray5406]

Completely agree that it's such a shame that they didn't release official live recordings. This video really takes me back to my teens when I would pinch my older brother's All Wrapped Up album and play it repeatedly. I cannot think of any record that they did that I didn't like.....not even one.

[@raymondlang]

@@thomasgray5406 Always on the lookout for "unofficial" DVD concerts, concerts that were on other countries tv like this one.

[@cliffcrancher4474]

"You're Welcome" is absolute class.

[@rodrigoledesma7264]

Brillante!! impecables,sin duda una de mis bandas favoritas.

[@pacofernandez4591]

From Punk to New wave! Still wonderful...

[@rezaafriansaputra6276]

Crazy gig,awesome people,undertones very superb

[@derekb5422]

Saw them twice in Bournemouth late 70s......Totally and utterly brilliant live band.

[@scottsutherland9126]

Brilliant. They were a marvel, weren't they?

[@davidlangley4278]

such a brilliant band!!

[@alleygh0st]

this is cool better than I expected !!

[@shubr66]

Super to watch that , great songs and Feargal had a great distinctive voice

[@littlejohnnyturtle8770]

Wish I'd been there, but alas, I was just gone 7 years old. Legends particularly John O'neill.

[@Nessie2410]

Love this! Thanks for posting! When Saturday Comes is awesome!

[@portpete450]

Fabulous memories and tunes. Can still see the dress curtain slowly rising at the start of the H'smith show after they'd kicked off.

[@Heston68]

Thanks for this. Great quality for being nearly 40 years old.

[@patrickbentley9189]

if they were starting out today they'd be making millions.. Brilliant.

[@alleygh0st]

heh I wish good musicians made millions

[@staticvisionband]

its gonna happen, HAPPEN till the end of time!!

[@HughRogers609]

Teenage Kicks. On John Peel's gravestone. Man broke 'em and loved them.

[@Klaus80804]

Legendary Alabama Halle in München. Saw so many wonderful concerts there. Every Monday it was broadcasted in a show called "LIve aus dem Alabama". This concert sure is from that broadcast, too. BMW demolished the hall in the late 1980s/early 1990s to expand its factory.

[@adambinnie1332]

Pretty good sounding performance!

[@anfrankogezamartincic1161]

YOU'RE WELCOME is amazing

[@monicaberger4201]

Never seen any video footage of them. They're so young!

[@Staggercfc]

THANK YOU!!!

[@GenerationXReunion]

Fantastic. Great to see. Thank you for uploading.

[@cpdaddy7]

Great recording

[@anfrankogezamartincic1161]

Jello Biafra sounds like an evil twin of Feargal Sharkey

[@melgrant7404]

Love Wednesday week love get over you.

[@russcohen3779]

Wow blessyou

[@thezebrafromheaven7568]

Where did punk rock go? This is way too nice to be the real The Undertones.

[@thewhoman3182]

29:57 was hilarious 😂👌

[@shootfirst2097]

I saw them in summer of 1980 at the Punch & Judy Theater in Grosse Pointe, Michigan. They played more straight ahead rock than this.

[@MissionForward3]

Ah.... Such fond memories.... I must have been one of about 10 people in Indiana who knew about The Undertones.... Such a complete shame.... One of the most underrated bands of all time.

[@dukealbert7017]

I’m probably one of like 3 Alaskans that know of them 😂

[@srebuck]

Brilliant. Great to see David Baddiel on guitar.

[@MrImmunity]

saw them that year tiffanys glasgow, don't remember the date, orange juice and tv21 support acts.

[@littlejohnnyturtle8770]

Tearproof is superb. Those lyrics are not quite as innocent as there earlier tunes.

[@heggy_69]

32:24 just the one kick for tonight

[@TheGibby3340]

I understand every bands sound has to evolve. For me, by the 3rd. album the frenetic vibe was gone. Perhaps understandably. Fair play to the boyz…To this day the early work remains treasured.

[@darrenconway5830]

Audience - When are you fkers gonna play Jimmy Jimmy? Band - Get fked we're sophisticated now! Good but I preferred 1980 Undertones where Feargal was all energy and the songs were more raw and innocent. It looked like he'd had enough by this point.

[@clopper3753]

Iron Curtain Days.

[@stinkintoad]

The drummer looks like Larry Mullen Jr of U2.

[@deletebilderberg]

Need a bigger riser.

[@eineinfachermann4092]

Munich? Schwabinger Bräu?

[@lolgrant]

Joachim Löw is a punk rocker
