Farewell Dave Greenfield, you were an inspiration and the first true punk keyboard player ever! Your mesmerising wandering & hypnotic arpeggios will forever be held close to my heart and part of my young adult life! RIP! Thank you for the great music that will last for an eternity.
@@NickHarman Yeah, so I heard, like so many others that have been lost he had underlying issues. I never met him, but I cheered from the crowd many times.
The Stranglers really are of the greatest in rock music. Not only are they all excellent musicians and performers they are so precise and can play live with no backing tales or bullshit. I was fortunate enough to see them back in the early 80s and to this day it's one of the best shows I've ever seen (and heard) and I have been to many concerts over the years and seen most of the 'greats.' Original, creative, powerful, vibrant, menacing and brilliant. Dave is missed terribly. RIP
"A punk band with keyboards... WTF?" is what I said in 80 or 81 just before my buddy dropped the needle on Live X and I haven't looked back. DG is a musician's musician and always will be. RIP you arpeggio-shooting madman!
How greatful I am to hae discovered the Stranglers, in my 50s, and entranced by every new song I hear. I love the keyboard aspect, and was saddened to hear of Mr Greenfield's passing.
I was at this gig. When they played their set again , it was even more intense. The best I saw them & the previous times I saw them Hugh was in the band.
..17..paper round wages saved up RATTUS...awaited...virgin vinyl on the turntable ..full blast ..Orgasmic .THEN at the Farnale..Dave's slick magic on Down in the Sewer...no track EVER by any group had such an effect ..Heartbroken we have lost more than a legend..The guys can never hope to replace a once in a generation keyboard wizard ..Waltzinblack Dave xx
We all were mate but Hugh wanted out the rest carried on. The continued popularity proved they were right. Last saw them supporting Alice cooper great night RIP Dave
Rip for Dave. Pas trop connu le groupe naguère. But. BAZ, notre JJ french d'amour and Jim, et Travis. Que du bonheur. Un grand merci à vous 4. Car depuis les années 80. Vous êtes le top de chez top. Ouii. I love you from France 🇫🇷
I was sorry to hear about Dave. This was sad too. Keyboards were an integral part of The Stranglers experience. This was painful to watch. They got by!
When the best bands that ever were become the best tribute bands that ever were. Tragic in the most delightful way. Glad to be a miserable old bastard. !!
M’name is also Dave. I don’t feel a total thief taking this to heart; it’s therapeutic and it helps patch over the red card I’d give to the expression “hanging out,” which is unforgivable to me. But I’ll hang around, now I have a corrective statement I’ll utter to the kids if I can remember the moment to school them gracefully, put on a clinic and all that.
It's sad enough that Dave Greenfield has died, but the stranglers surely will die now? The very best group of my lifetime and I'm 64. So sad.......really sad.
Real music for real people..R.I.P. Dave Greenfield ..I was 15 years old in 1978..how lucky we were to grow up in that era
Born in 67' California f%$-ing right we were the last generation of our era. The f666ing rocknroll era!
rip Jet Black also
Same here.
And I saw them live again about 4 years ago.
Ditto me too
Bloody great.
"Rattus Norvegicus " absolute game changer.
RIP Dave.
My favourite ❤
For sure."No More Heroes" pretty damn good too.
RIP Dave Greenfield. Loved how he was so cool and professional and contributed so much to the band that was The Stranglers
Not sure what there going to do with out Dave , great keyboard player and singer , but I love you all the rest of the band ❤️
Great vocalist too. Off to see them again next April my first time without Dave, gonna be strange.
Farewell Dave Greenfield, you were an inspiration and the first true punk keyboard player ever! Your mesmerising wandering & hypnotic arpeggios will forever be held close to my heart and part of my young adult life! RIP! Thank you for the great music that will last for an eternity.
Born in '64. Stranglers crazy in my teens. RIP Dave. THE Best.
Yesterday Dave Greenfield passed away, taken by this bastard virus. Stay safe everyone, and rest in peace Dave, thanks for everything.
good on you mate.
3'00" in and Dave gets some smiling time- back to the music, plugged-in and they're away: an effort that'll live forever.
Gutted, one of the most underated keyboard players. The guy was up there with people like Wakeman. A real loss.
He was not a well man though.
@@NickHarman Yeah, so I heard, like so many others that have been lost he had underlying issues. I never met him, but I cheered from the crowd many times.
@joe curtin A top lad, from Hollingbury Brighton. RIP Dave...
DAVE GREENFIELD 1949 - 2020 RIP.........heaven has finally received the best keyboard player that ever graced this earth😇😇
We needed him here!!!!
Aside from Keith Emerson
@@JismIsm-wp6so Aside from Bach.
so far! Rick Wakeman & Tony Banks R still with us but Dave is still 1 of the all time greats, no question.

Imagine watching the Stragglers on TOTP then to be part of it 30 yrs later surreal moment that .RIP Dave 😥
Saw the Stranglers twice in Birmingham in the early 80s. Criminally underrated. Great memories.
Jean Jacques burnel brilliant bass player up there with Jimmy Lea of Slade another icon
It was a privilege to be there that night. RIP Dave.
"Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?" -- Johnny Rotten ... RIP Dave. One of the greatest keyboardists ever.
Damn shame Hugh wasnt there. R.I.P Dave Greenfield. This band started me on my own music venture as a punk drummer in 1979.
"A punk band with keyboards... WTF?" is what I said in 80 or 81 just before my buddy dropped the needle on Live X and I haven't looked back. DG is a musician's musician and always will be. RIP you arpeggio-shooting madman!
Miss Dave what a fantastic musician rip brother.
Fuck don't we all love the Stranglers one of the best bands of all time ,and baz warn is awesome !
Dear Mr Greenfield I will miss your brilliance and musical spark ⚡️ dear soul 💔😓💔 Rest In Peace ☮️ DG

Dave drew me in in 77 and kept me spellbound until he died......
Good comment.
These guys are the greatest showman and musos what a magnificent show they put on!!!
One of the greatest bands of all time. RIP Dave G. Looking forward to 12.02.22 in Leeds -tickets booked
Uma das melhores Bandas do género.
Rest in Peace Dave 😔 X
So sad, I can't believe this, speechless
No more hero. RIP Dave. 😔
I have spent 40 years trying to play a keyboard a la Dave Greenfield and am still nowhere near Genius !!! RIP Dave RIP
The more I watch these guys the more I like them. Great songs and playing!
Enjoy

Awww look at Dave's lovely little smiling face.
Complete Legend.
❤️
Brilliant, saw them in 1977, still sounds great today!
The pros at work!
It always worth Hanging Around...
His keys made this band something special and next level "punk" back in the day. They then proved they were so much more than the genre and the label.
One of my all time favourite Stranglers songs. Brilliant to see!
Always liked this song. RIP Dave.
Dave you were one of the best tinklers of the ivories I ever had the absolute pleasure to have saw. God love and bless you Sir. Angela x
One of the best live shows I have ever seen, one of the most under rated bands of all time
never underated - always class
Not so under rated!
You need to look up under rated in a dictionary...
This band was certainly not under rated.
Underrated?
@@michaelmortell1230 They are kind of known in Europe but never mentioned in the US
Carlisle market hall 1978 . Changed my life , maybe not altogether for the better but certainly more interesting . Love the Stranglers .
Love em . Since 76 or so . Always .
Missing you super Dave!!!!! Your dancing on the keys!
Awsome, Amazing, Brilliant band! I love them all my life! dx
I love the Stranglers!
Thankyou for everything .. change xxxx

R.I.P. Dave..🖤
No more Heroes, except Dave Greenfield
My hairs are standing up , what a legend.
Brilliant.
Bloody best band going
I was there that night - what a great gig and, yes, I was in the 'Hugh' camp before I went but the whole band were awesome...
RIP Dave the True Genuis of the keyboards Thanks for your great music
Bon voyage Dave
We all were mate but Hugh wanted out the rest carried on. The continued popularity proved they were right. Last saw them supporting Alice cooper great night RIP Dave
Rip for Dave. Pas trop connu le groupe naguère. But. BAZ, notre JJ french d'amour and Jim, et Travis. Que du bonheur. Un grand merci à vous 4. Car depuis les années 80. Vous êtes le top de chez top. Ouii. I love you from France 🇫🇷
But hopefully I will be hanging around for a little while longer. If not , it was a lovely lovely ride. Wouldn't have missed it for anything.
Never been interested in the Stranglers after Hugh left but, I must admit, this sounds like a cracking gig and I would have liked to have been there.
Same here not the same without Cornwall on vocals.
Big mistake, should of 'Hung Around' for the ride
@@steve261brown nope just like any other band that replaces the singer bit like queen
I was sorry to hear about Dave. This was sad too. Keyboards were an integral part of The Stranglers experience. This was painful to watch. They got by!
Keyboard wizard Dave Greenfield R.I.P. The Stranglers were the first band I was into during the Punk era.
Quality improv. If Bieber's backing tape gave out he'd be hopeless
God bless 🙏 a great keyboard player gave punk a new sound RIP
Very very sad. Didn't even know! Will be sadly missed! RIP mate!
First song I learnt on guitar.. what a classic
Epic, enjoyed that, well done fellas, And a famous makem at last!
RIP Dave, ❤️❤️❤️❤️
God bless him
Great performance
Rip David Greenfield.
Keyboard Maestro 👌
Rest in peace Dave.
cant help but hang around these guys ;]
ove that guitar sound!
Welcome to the Stranglers' Comedy Corner
The best stranglers gig ever. Love them forever
Saw them in Rome 1980, European tour, brilliant gig.
Bang go's the 'farewell' tour. Would it have ever happened anyway? RIP Dave.
WOW ! ROCK IT !💖gr
R.I.P. Dave
Love that when bands interact
When the best bands that ever were become the best tribute bands that ever were. Tragic in the most delightful way. Glad to be a miserable old bastard. !!
To think Ghost is covering it on their new EP out in 10 some days!!! 😊
You are "The Men in Black"....... Class gent class.....
RIP Dave Greenfield
Yes what bastard loved these guys donkeys years would be nice all guys back together
0:22 Hugh Cornwell in audience saying "can I get up on stage?"
he's got far more integrity than to do that.
Nah, really don't think so.
Man I lost track. Guess Hugh left the band. Started back in 76, last concert 81. Loved the band! Guess there are no more hero’s anymore
First punk best punk !
Cool!
Hugh or Baz , who cares , they sound awesome .
Hugh first....
Paul second.
Baz karaoke version of Hugh always last....shit vocalist. Good guitarist.
This bass sound grew me up from a kid to a man... Back then! ;) (nah, bad English, point made!)
Beautiful 💀
Forever The Stranglers !!!
This is not The Stranglers!
@@user-dk3dn1od5p You're living in the past dude. Let it go.

Without Dave:( , there is no sound, you can see here......Rip Dave
just like in the old school days.
I can almost see Dave smiling down
PLEASE. Go eat some CORN. PURE CORN EATER !!!!!!!!
It's sad enough that Dave Greenfield has died, but the stranglers surely will die now? The very best group of my lifetime and I'm 64. So sad.......really sad.
Tell you what we are moving to the next we are going to hit it
