So sad about Andy Gill’s passing, but if there’s anyone that could fill his shoes David Pajo is the one.

Pajo sounds AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING!!! I was cautiously optimistic, but he inhabits those lines in a way that both pays tribute AND animates them anew for a fresh audience... lets hope the shows go wonderfully!!

I love Go4.Sara is a hero to me, as an old bassist I knew she had magic the first time I heard her.

David Pajo really captured the band's signature sound. Not an easy feat.

David Pajo makes perfect sense. Andy would be proud.

Having seen them multiple times, on every tour in the early 80s, quite sad to have missed this tour.

Don't you just love these people? A good musician is a fan. Wonderful that David Pajo has joined.

This is the only footage I've ever seen of Sara Lee speaking. Someone must interview her about her experience in The League of Gentlemen.

Sara's laughing at 'Professor' was priceless.....🤣🤣

Houston was a great show, and David Pajo really has injected a lot of his own sense of melody into Andy Gill's lines while doing right by them.

So glad to have you all back! Part of an interview with Andy in 2019! He will be dearly missed, so gracious and I will always remember! Simply, many are overjoyed your back!!!

Biggest inspiration ever rhythmically. Highly rated. Justifiably so. If you play the drums, it teaches you the right relationship between bass and drums.

I’ve got 4 shows lined up…..can’t wait!

😂I saw them live in Chicago in the very early 80s I think it was. I didn't know what to expect, but it totally blew my circuits when Jon King came onto the stage from the left hand side, dancing like a dervish. Still one of the best concerts I've ever seen. Right up there with PiL and 999 and Husker Du. Chicago had a fantastic local punk/new wave scene. Many great bands up there back then, like Desmond and Club of Rome! 😅

The show in Phoenix was superb. Wonderful camaraderie on stage. It was honest and thrilling and exciting. 🤩

Wonderful. Great interview

I saw them last March, just an incredible night. The band was on point and the energy in the crowd was electric

I love this so much...They sound like my band rehearsing! Very refreshing to see/hear! Can't wait for the Glass House show in LA!!!

Fucking brilliant. Really well shot and edited. Bravo.

possibly the best ever gig i have seen at essex university ca 80/81, please come to sweden

one of the best bands ever with a special place in music history!

Had the great fortune of meeting Jon King and Hugo Burnham recently at a mekons gig at Brudenell social club in Leeds, both very nice blokes who signed my copy of a new book about the Leeds music scene from the late 70s

Que gran banda!!..

Chicago show...awesome!

I would go see you guys in Canada, should the occasion arise

I was at The Ritz NYC for what I guess, was their Final Show for that time. Great night.

Can’t wait, Dallas Texas March 16. First time the Hot Club Dallas Texas 1980.

I have been a long term Gang of Four fan going back to the late 1970's, first seeing them at a Leeds Poly gig, it was back when women were escorted back to were they lived because of a certain individual preying on women in the Yorkshire area. As well as the "classic" stuff I am a huge fan of the later stuff Andy did with Goaler, McNeice and Finnegan. When Andy died I though I'd probably never hear that stuff played live again but here we are. Manchester 4th October 2023 role on 🙂Most influential band of my life.

I've missed so many great bands. SEATTLE !!! 💖 Andy Gill 🙏🏽 Pajo🌟 Ad. - Damn ! I won't be here.

This is absolutely legit

Please come to England!

There's definitely a parallel with the Slint sound. David is the perfect fit.

Spoiler alert. They're doing "What We All Want"

I feel though that in the last "x" number of years that the song is played significantly slower and less urgently. That the original at the pace it was originally played is still urgently felt for me after all these "x" number of years is surprising...

Thank you!

Damn, Pajo looks not so young here. I had a frozen image of him as a member of Slint. But I reckon that was so long ago.

Hugo still playing Premier.

Putting Go4 back together (been a fan since 1979)… YES! But how about someone puts Premier Drums back together? I saw Hugo play these drums in Go4 in Pasadena at Perkins Palace. 1982. REM opened for them. Their 1979 Premiers with black wrap with a red stripe (custom ordered). The kick is a 20” - very rare for this kind of thing, but it sounds amazing live. Really thick. These drums are amazing. The company needs to be resuscitated. Someone. Please?!

They eat Raisin Bran and go to sleep by 9pm.

I'm a Filipino. Is Dave Paho a pilipino?

I’m pretty sure he’s mixed race. Part Philippino, part hispanic, maybe a bit of Native American, if I remember correctly…? I think they mentioned it in Breadcrumb Trail, a documentary on the band Slint (of which Pajo was a member) so feel free to check it out if you’re curious

I'm sorry but I've listened to Gang of Four since the late 70s. I'm a musician my self I play the Chapman Stick and 7 string bass. I don't mean to come off as I'm bosting myself but I have a little experience with playing with musicians. This guitarist to me doesn't fit right with the true Gang of Four band. Saira Lee said that she feels like the band needs me that is very correct. But this guitarists is not the right one for the ture band. He plays very carefully Which the band therefor plays more carefully. This is not what Gang of Four set out to be. I would just like to say that unfortunately you should find another guitarists that can bring back the energy and magic of Andy Gill R I P

Danny, perhaps you've seen him with Gang of Four, although (respectfully) if you haven't, Dave Pajo is mesmerizing with the band. Stellar choice. Shame that the world has lost Andy Gill, on the bright side the rest of the lot have found a supremely gifted guitarist who's stepped up, slid that shoulder strap on, and owns the sound. And when he led 'Paralysed', I had the feeling that someone above approved.
