Suis d'accord

Was at the gig

From the Get go I’ve loved the Stranglers ….one of the best bands to come out of this country ….Hugh was a loss but Baz has more than filled that void …JJ is a true Rock legend ….I hope the Stranglers keep going on ….

I was there in '90, they came on after about 5 hours of support acts and when this started I could feel there was something in the air; of course as it transpired it was their last gig as the original lineup! Fast forward over 30 years and I've enjoyed hearing and seeing both The Stranglers and Hugh solo (and JJ solo!) regularly ever since. The lesson? When it's over it's only just begun... Best track at this gig? Something better change!

This is a brilliant version of Toiler on the Sea !

Deadly Bass 🔊 Monster Keyboards, Fabulous lead & Rhythm guitar. Black And White an all time Masterpiece.

Wow, that is incredible. Sound quality is amazing too.

I was at this gig. We'd no idea that Hugh was going to quit the day after.

Excellent version

Brilliant!

Brilliant song.

Excellent live version of 'Toiler On The Sea'. Too bad that Hugh Cornwell decided to quit The Stranglers that year in 1990. But he had his reasons. He just felt The Stranglers couldn't go any further creative wise with the music. He called Jet Black on the phone that he was quitting. Jet Black's response was "OK". and that was it. Dave Greenfield was one of the best keyboard and synth musicians in the world of rock. He did look much better with a mustache. May he Rest In Peace.

One of their best.

Superb band. My favourite album

This was the end of the first main incarnation of the Stranglers besides Ellis , I saw this tour and it was the last time I saw them over a 13 year period. They were a tired out version of their former selves but still a good show. Now I see the dynamic that made Hugh decide he did not want to continue, real shame.

Top tune. Class stuff top band!!!

Black & White is à MASTERPIECE

Fantastic great song . From when the Stranglers were great

That extra guitar adds to the effect. Slick and tight, contained power and menaing and avant avant-garde. Holds up well.

Top notch sound,picture and performance.Great song,love it.

Loved it.

I was meant to go to this gig, but dint for some silly reason. Kind of glad I didn't now. Not sure why.....

Bisous à vous

Hugh choking back the emotion during the first few lines. He knew this was going to be the end of an era.

Great great band.

Maravillosoooo

Thank you.

That brought me to tears

Great live performance of a great song! I love that people are uploading all these live performances from over the years... I never had any real interest in seeing the Stranglers live, just listened to their albums and enjoyed their music. I wish I had seen them and hope I get a chance to see them in the future. Definitely on my list as a must see band now. And yes, tour the USA! Big thanks to everyone who shares these gems on KZread!

I saw The Stranglers in concert in my hometown of Santa Barbara, California on the Central West Coast around 1983 or in 1984 at the Santa Barbara County Bowl. They opened up for Roxy Music. Fantastic performances by both bands.

Seeing a lot of comments about this this being lacklustre. I know it was the very end of Mk1 but I love this version because of it's dynamics and more relaxed feel.

SLOWED DOWN VERSION LIVE . YEAH RASTA ! R.I.P. DAVE GREENFIELD . UN -UN- BELIEVABLE KEYBOARDS !!!!

Great song this.... highlight of the gig I reckon....

great sound on this....

Great sound and performance, despite Hugh's situation but the stage lighting sucked for a video. It's good they are sounding great again. Wish they'd tour the USA.

Nice to see Ellis in this perfect lineup performance

Brambles....you have to go with your gut it was time in his mind....both have made great music since

I’d pay good money too see them with Hugh fronting the band again

A very lackluster performance compared to years before. I'm very glad I saw them so many times from 1978 to 1983 when they were at their peak.

Remember when they came on in 70s and early 80s and we fucked the seats up in Edinburgh and glasgow

The Stranglers will be back in 2023 ! 26 gigs ! Ang Hugh Cornwell is in tour also (he will be in Nottingham the 5th of December).

After Rattus it took me a long time to get to grips (no pun intended) with B&W but this and Tank are among my fav songs. but hugh doesnt do it justice here, looks like he cant wait to leave, which is likely true

best intro ever x

Beautiful version, but I prefer the faster one from the album...

Did I say I'm the one waving some geordies strangs cap at the front :-)

I'd stopped going by then

damn i wish hugh would come back to he stranglers. to think i was 4 back in 1990 who knew hugh would leave the next day.. best band ever. screw all those other overrated bands.

Not a patch on their Black and White tour. Baz has rejuvenated the band I am sorry to say. The band look miserable on here. I saw them in Bristol last week and they looked so much livelier. They were really having a good time compared to this. They did Toiler also. Quite a contrast x

A tad slow in my opinion.

I think this is a concert that A how the Flock of Seagulls got their name from cuz they were in the middle of the crowd

The end game.

Hugh Cornwell could have stood in for John Wayne, a mans man

Not bad but the album version way faster read the from which hugh got the inspiration heavy but great

I was this gig. The sound was dreadful and it had all gone a bit AOR by then.

Looking for myself in the audience at 3 mins 50... I don’t remember it being so dark. Must have been aiming for a moody start to the gig.

Sounds very tame

seen em many times...alway's at least very good... but alas.. never seen them other than the original four members.... i think the chemistry between them was something unique in sound, thho' i have listened to the strang's with baz, some great stuff, especially time to die..... dint like the girly singer before, did he get sacked?

terrible concert - last gig before Hugh called it a day. What an earth was John Ellis doing there :-(

NO MORE FACEBOOK FOR ME

this is the kind of stuff that makes me feel like i was born into the wrong era.

Who played second guitar?

what is this....its been edited....they've cut some of this out. I was there that night.

Way too slow!

Who's the second guitarist? IMHO

Sounds so pedestrian from this gig,far better live act now.

Did the band know this was the last gig with Hugh? Or did he just announce he was leaving the next day?
