Excellent footage....how tight they were live.....great version of one of the best turn a cover into your own song ever. I loved barryxtc from the start....49 years later XTC still get my juices going.....thanks for the upload ;-)

Oh, I DO so love their take on this one! 💜

[@SLB4523]

Never expected to find a live version of this! Fantastic!

[@101Volts]

They played it again, in 1982, for the few shows they did that year before Andy gave up touring: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKeclYulbpKtqKM There are other versions from March 1982, but this is probably the best one. The second best is March 7, 1982. Others (March 10, March 13, March 17) don't have audio in quite as good quality.

Saw them very early on at the Lanch Poly in Coventry. Not many people in the audience as they were supporting someone I can’t recall who but they were magnificent and I will never forget the sheer exhilaration I felt watching them then and hearing them now.

[@andreaprodan5616]

Classic !!

[@simoncollins6529]

I seen that when it was first on TV, long time ago now

[@pfscpublic]

Me too Simon, wasn't So It Goes inspirational?

[@voodooxtc]

A fantastic but unfortunately incomplete version. The vocals are clearer than the album version. I'd love to see the footage of the whole gig. The version of Neon Shuffle from this same gig is also top notch.

[@Heston68]

Only two songs were ever broadcast, this one remained unseen for 42 years. I unfortunately doubt the whole gig still exists.

[@nicholassmith7636]

i wonder what Mr Zimmerman thought of this?

[@lawrencescott2824]

James White and da Black Nigels

[@mbrady2329]

Is that Howard Devoto on keyboards?!

[@101Volts]

No, it's Barry Andrews. I don't know if you were being serious, or if that was a joke. It's so hard to tell on the internet.

[@srl6018]

It does look like Howard, but it's Barry Andrews. Barry played keyboards on the first two XTC albums (White Music and GO2)
