[@keiththripp7531]

This has to be the best version ever , the beat , base line , the whole mechanics is just amazing

[@seanoregan998]

Gary Numan.... the one who gave birth to the sound of the 80s.

Totally!! Well said Sir.

[@phoenixmotorsport647]

Gary numan and David bowie - there is nothing else to say

[@OsoMarcol]

Last night (30.05.2022) I attend to Gary Numan's concert at John Dee, Oslo. Amazing show, I've seen him live 4 times but nowadays Numan is just amazing. He's 64 and better than ever.

[@alisonkovacs9871]

I so want to go and see him

[@karlh2814]

This guy is a complete legend. This is England. He represents English music. He will always be up there as one of the greatest artists in history.

[@ExternalInputs]

One of the greatest artists in history? Oh fuck off with your ridiculous internet overstatements.

[@Scoobadal]

I cant say it better than any of the comments below and agree with them all, life-changing since 1979 for me

[@seanoregan998]

Amazing

[@robertbisi2373]

This song jams loyal fan since 79. 44 years non stop

[@machman261063]

Increases volume. Presses play. Closes eyes. Transported back to age 16. Neighbours hate me but I don't care.

[@TheBeg18p]

For me......it doesn't really get any better than this......Intro and opening track Replicas. Amazing.

[@sekretsquirrel8672]

Spine tingling awesomeness

[@garyowen8733]

Gary Numan is a legendary artist.

[@JeRkYb0y]

This concert was recorded and filmed at the Manchester Academy, UK in 2008. It was a celebration of Gary Numans 30 years as a musician as well as his 50th birthday on the night of the concert.

[@simonturner3176]

I can't wait for 2nd May 2022 in Brum, a living legend and still making great music. My favorite songs , it must of been years and haunted, the volume just goes up

[@chrismulhern6527]

i was there :)

[@2old4gamez]

Why can't I like this more than once?

[@paullaw3382]

Why he is not on the RARHOF for his influence alone is beyond me.

[@LAMags]

[@klassonder2508]

Fantastic in 1979 and still is…

[@Solvinden]

Just sayin’ He was 20-21 years when he wrote this masterpiece.. almost 40 years ago and it’s still fresh!! Amazing!!

[@paulmccluskey6862]

Been listening to this epic since I was 14. Gets better with age.

[@petersiddiqui1088]

What a track !!! I remember listening to this when Replicas was first released and it still gives me goosebumps. 40 years on. Only Gary Numan can write songs like this

[@niallmcgroove1495]

Amazing 👏

[@scorbieholic]

At 2:35 I am transported back to 1979, being a 14year old and the first time I ever heard this masterpiece of an album

[@CaptainKirkDiggler]

Before my time, but Id have loved that show. Was it just him at that point or was he still with Tubeway Army?

[@mimmii]

Brought it all back to me, Gary still got it, so original, a unique & talented man. Love you Gary xxx

[@MrBigmatt66]

He gets alot of critisism but the man is a fantastic live performer. A pioneer for the electronic music era, and so influential to so many bands now. I've seen him live so many times, met him once and it's all good! Dedicated to Cedric Sharpley, great drummer. RIP

[@literacylabyrinth4018]

Never gets old. Masterpiece from master album

[@starshiphonda]

TWO DISLIKES!!! What more could you want. This is f*****g brilliant!!! Puts a shiver down my spine everytime I hear this.

[@cinsationalcinema1776]

Brilliant song

[@jimmyjames6267]

Must have been a Millennial or Gen Z

[@petejones879]

That just proves the world is full of morons.. I've yet to hear a numan song that I could dislike

[@marpsr]

This song has gotten better with age. Incredible!

[@konradgrove175]

Absolut krass,👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@MrDazmeister]

I was there too that night, was bloody awesome, and singing him Happy Birthday was something never to be forgotten.

[@punchface1000]

i got this man 40 years a go fuck he is still so good

[@g2macs]

It's great to hear the oldies fleshed out and sounding as big as this.

[@joescott483]

Fkn awesome never ages what a start to any gig He is a total musical icon

[@barrysmith8920]

Seriously... And I mean seriously.. Numan’s live performances have always been incredible. Even had Billy Currie and Nash the Slash, two phenomenal violin players. And yet his music is still modern, inspiring, menacing, joyful and beautiful simultaneously..

[@azazelzel6954]

I remember listening to 'Are Friends Electric', being played loud, in my local NSS news agent on a warm spring day in 1979, was the first record I ever bought. =) Gary Numan gave birth to the new era!

[@pauldonald66]

Same here - i went to WH Smith record dept. (do they still have those?) to buy it :-)

[@cynthianovoselsky3592]

Great TASTE

[@idoliznuman8835]

Same here blew my mind numan fan ever since

[@WarrenSt.James_Guitarist]

I love Gary Numam...everything the man touches turns into sonic GOLD!

[@AbsoluteNut1]

OPENING SONG is my fave Gary Numan song!

[@videocircus]

Well, what did you expect? It's Gary Numan, the Godfather of Industrial Electronic music. It's supposed to have computerized compositions.

[@DAVIDE-bk8by]

I think I appreciate how good this track is more now then when I bought Replicas in 79

[@cinsationalcinema1776]

I love this live version. Listen to it with headphones on. It gives Replicas a cosmic thunderstorm of sound for our heads. Wonderful

[@cinsationalcinema1776]

[@alisonkovacs9871]

Omg he is so fucking gorgeous

[@catwhisperer9524]

Other than "Cars" in my teens, fairly new (and appreciative) of Numan in the past 3 or so years. Is it normal all my body hair stood on end and my head exploded watching this?? Aren't music stars supposed to dim as they pass through the years? HE'S ASCENDING TO GOD LEVEL! :O :D

[@cynthianovoselsky3592]

COMPLETE PERFECT!!!!

[@nwcoastlife]

The live version of "Replicas" (especially this performance of it) is so much better than the album version. I would have loved to have been there.

[@colinheaton6934]

Love the old stuff but what a version

[@P8290970]

The best version of the best Numan song.....Legendary or what !

[@davidspion9548]

Paris 1980 still takes some beating.

[@iceman7669ify]

Timeless and powerful

[@lisazoria2709]

I've only just discovered him recently. I really hope to see him in concert someday. Looks awesome!

[@simonturner3176]

Hope you have seen the legend live, I'm counting down to 2nd May 2022 in Brum

[@LRBerry]

My first concert was Gary Numan on the Teletour. I never get bored of listening to his music.

[@jackalfox332]

I know the guitarist. Chris, best mates, we both auditioned for Gary when Steve Fox-Harris (Gary's full time guitarist) was unable to play for him at the time... Chris got the gig(s). Hehe.

[@nwcoastlife]

Jackal Fox lucky bastard, lol

[@Solvinden]

Nice to hear! Do you know how he makes that awful guitar sound? Connected to a synth? I tried to connect my guitar to my synth, but couldn’t make it.. Musically yours Liselotte in Sweden (This song and Metal (from Pleasure Priciple) made me start playing guitar and synth in the 70’s.. and I still do..)

[@ian_b]

That long guitar strap of his really annoyed me, made me want to run on stage and shorten it for him so he could reach the strings.

[@WAZA___]

@Jackal l smell bullshit!

[@harrydotson1676]

First heard "Cars" on alternative radio, but then they started to play the shit out of it... But it was enough for my bud and I to go see his early concert W/ Nash The Slash for his opener...(on acid!) I didn't think I could get any more into both artists until I found their other albums on Ytube. This artist ROCKS beyond what any words can describe!!!

[@timmason7430]

He's been going since the seventies, Harry, His live performances are as good as, if not BETTER than the studio, go see him if you can.

[@cynthianovoselsky3592]

There will never be another

[@karlh2814]

England Is Gary Numan

[@steveking2337]

Bass player going for it ace

[@joeostruh6818]

His music is awesome let the good times roll

[@vladamirkb1]

Lyrics It was hard to avoid I suppose, it was the shame But they didn't even try You see, we'd never met And they didn't have names There was nothing I could do So I turned on the crowd And I screamed, "You and you It could have been you" And they seemed to think That I looked that way Or maybe I was wrong So I said, "Do you know Mr. Wall" And they looked the other way And then they smiled at me But the police came And I said it was me And I just walked away

Although I do like the numanoid. The godfather of industrial music. Edgar frosse may want you to hold his beer. Even though he’s not with us anymore.

❤❤❤❤

3:40 What's up with my man's lips?? Like an angry hornet, with an axe to grind, was "powerdrillin" his lips, like he stole something the hornet wanted... he still rocks though. Gary, not the hornet.

[@steveking2337]

His base player is so good

[@gavinhughes7136]

Lovely Tim Muddiman

[@terenceadams4697]

this was done 30 years later and still amazing Newman is a power house

[@stillerdiggrich8141]

It's like good wine, with the furthering of techniques his music gets better every year.

[@PolarRed]

Genius. Change my mind! I dare you, I'll change yours! This man is...

[@LucienLacroix67]

I can't wait for Gary to come back to the states haven't seen him since 09

[@stevemarshall2049]

Unbelievably great. X

[@alisonkovacs9871]

I haven't even got tickets yet

[@joshasunto27]

Magic

[@garyskelton5226]

Just simply amazing

[@regretto]

I appreciate his entire catalog (well, almost), but during 1978-1980 damn was he a songwriting genius juggernaut. I mean he humbly declares he is a cult-level artist (which he is), but for the ones who understand these few years of effort by an extremely young man are on par with dylans 60s or bowies 70s etc. His approach to sound, lyrics (his poetry was so mesmerizing and effortless during that time) and visuals are still something to behold. And this is I think precisely why these songs are so impressive being reinvented for modern times. But genius strikes you and then it leaves, it's like Dylan said in a later interview that he has no idea how he wrote all those early songs, like it wasn't him, which is I guess how creativity works. It is you but also it is something that works through you.

[@DAVIDE-bk8by]

Dylan made a deal. That's where the songs came from kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5Daco1mZ6-Iqq8

[@regretto]

@@DAVIDE-bk8by yep, that's the interview I've mentioned. I wouldn't take the mystical crap literally though

[@DAVIDE-bk8by]

@@regretto Are mystic things crap? You have a lot to learn

[@regretto]

@@DAVIDE-bk8by oh God, really? let's make a deal: go fuck yourself. Probably a song or two will follow.

[@terenceadams4697]

I have gone through several of his live you tube songs, and I am amazed that there are any dislikes. New is a brilliant artist. I have seen his shows and his progressions as an artist over the past 40 years. Fabulous is all I can say, he delivers over and over. The sound and the show antics are quality and a beautiful thing too see.

[@cazfortune5289]

Having been a fan since.. well just decades... and have this on vinyl with the full photospread of the original concert i can only say YES !!! to see Gary up there redoing this ICONIC opening, and smiling, LOVING it.. made me grin like a cheshire cat. Reconciled.. past and present. WAY TO GO DUDE. loved ya then, love ya now.. you just get better and better ... still grinning.. and those synths still make my soul sing decades later. Have ALL his work, on vinyl cd and tape :D

[@markdavey7]

Absolutely amazing 👏

[@ahmog]

Great song for the cyberpunk era.

[@jasontraylor7962]

What a way to open a gig..wow!

[@markdavey7]

Stunning 😍

[@almthomson]

Another stunning hybrid of old and newer sounds, always takes me back to the farewell concert in 1980's - I ddn't even know what that song was when I saw that until I bought the replicas album - is this version 90's or 00's ?

[@petersiddiqui1088]

Classic !

[@numanoidforlifeandbeyond572]

I have enjoyed this video so much - Replicas was the first album I ever bought, splinter being the most recent! Videos like this, kind of bring the two together. "Utopia" thanks for posting.

The show at Neumo's in Seattle about 3 years ago was my 48th numan gig since 1980, 12 years old at my fist gig, 44 years old at my last. I just hope he does something different for his next album, he's been doing the same thing since Pure 15 years ago, time for a change
