One of the best bands od the World between late 1970's/early 1980's. I mean, one of the greatest bands ever.

When I wuz a wee lad I went over to our neighbor's house who had television. I saw this news report that always effected me. It said "Blah blah blah, if the president knew about it, he'd stop it in a minute. MY seven year old self wondered "doesn't the Prez have a TV or some shit?" Now I'm like "doesn't the Prez have 4chan 'n shit?"

This is killer and I am going to buy it. But I just want to say, I love Songs of the Free (1982). It's more New Wave than Post-Punk, but is still experimental and singular Gang of Four. I suppose it's more sentimental for me as I grew up hearing I Love a Man In Uniform on the radio.

At the beginning the “smack” of the metal is on “4” (as in 1, 2, 3, 4). Counting it in this way from the start is how to decipher this rhythm. Also, that drum kit, with the 20” kick drum? Sounds awesome. Saw Hugo place that kit at Perkins Palace in LA, 1982. What an astounding show. REM opened.

The 4 (or the 1) gets displaced during the reenty at 3:20. Could be a video edit maybe? That 4 takes a lot of concentration.

@astolennova Your right. Dude screws it up. But Hugo is still in time. That shows what a great drummer he is.

One of my all-time favorite bands! Great video - thanks for posting. The one thing that was a bit of a revelation to me watching after all these years was just how terrific and dynamic Dave Allen was on bass. I always appreciated his work with Shriekback (his bass line was the spine after all) but he's so much more out front and part of the mix in this one. Jon and Andy were always so riveting on stage I often overlooked Dave - this made him stand out more. And of course Hugo always always drove it home. Brilliant

He didn't appear to like them much though. Andy Gill said that at their first meeting in the studio the band played Paralysed/What we all Want/Cheeseburger and something I can't remember off what became Solid Gold and Douglas reportedly commented that all their songs sounded the same.

So ahead of their time.
I saw them in Sydney, a few months before Andy Gill went home and died. I was a little skeptical about only one of four remaining, but under his stewardship they remained true to spirit of GoF’s body of work. I came away not caring that there were people in the band who weren’t born when I bought Entertainment. A truly great band to the end.
One of the best bands od the World between late 1970's/early 1980's. I mean, one of the greatest bands ever.
When I wuz a wee lad I went over to our neighbor's house who had television. I saw this news report that always effected me. It said "Blah blah blah, if the president knew about it, he'd stop it in a minute. MY seven year old self wondered "doesn't the Prez have a TV or some shit?" Now I'm like "doesn't the Prez have 4chan 'n shit?"
