The 1970’s was the most amazing time to grow up. I was 14 in 1979, within a few months I saw the Clash, SLF and Sham 69 twice at the Apollo in Manchester. Roll on 45 years and I’ve just seen SLF again for the umpteenth time, they still knocking out great performances. I’m approaching 60 and still have an appetite for it. Undertones, fantastic.
Same age mate. Go to Rebellion Festival every year, only just came back from Amsterdam a few days ago after seeing The Damned over there with my son still great times and great bands from the punk scene
@@TheFairway8 keep on going mate, I’m going to see a Clash tribute in January at Band on the wall In Manchester to celebrate 45 years of London Calling, after seeing the original London Calling tour in 1979. Then going to see SLF again at Manchester’s academy in the spring, I loved it back in the 70’s and still love it now. There’s never been a movement like punk.
We were lucky growing up with this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brilliant thank you, takes me back to Eric's Liverpool, when I was still just a teenager. just such a raw explosive and tight group , so lucky lucky me
Juliansheppard🤣🤣. Christ u are being ironic, aren't you. They wore what we wore in 6 counties. No need to look like the clash, they were already in a f..king war zone
The Undertones were just brilliant. Still listening to them in 2024

RIP Annie 💖
One of my favorite bands while in college....
I was probably the only person at Indiana University who knew about them...
I was very fortunate.
I mind when they played at our School in Creggan Derry.
Beezer!
The Undertones had such a great sound live. Amazing band.
Brings back so many memories, all good 15 in 1979
I come from Derry and was lucky to see them in London on the lunch of their first effort....Top Stuff and Brilliant Bang Pop....The Whole Package.
We were lucky growing up with this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn right! Plus they looked like us, and we could play guitars and sound like them - even though we’d only been playing a few months. Great band!
We certainly were
I’m from Scotland and listened to their songs on the radio all the time. Seems like an era away.
A good Heart these days is hard to Find! Good old Fergal. I remember when John Peel played them and played them..Thanks John❤ And Anne Nightingale💚
How gorgeous was Annie Nightingale
Yep
She looks a little like Linda McCartney
Out of 10... 11😊
Grew up on a council estate in St.Helens in the 70s. These were our band.
They were the band of all council estates.

Brilliant!
Fantastic
Great
Superb!
I wore that exact same anorak to school that year.....
A parka with fur around the hood? I had a blue one.😊 I think they all had orange linings.
1979 the undertones look like a cross between late first wave punk and two tone
I remember when we used to listen to the undertones every Thursday night at Mason's bar in derry 🇮🇪
10.3 bit a slip up on words in Jimmy Jimmy by fergal. I spotted it
@@jamesconway112 You'd be hard pushed not to notice it!
Stroke City's FINEST
Les Paul Customs, Rickenbackers, punk/new wave on the cheap NOT lol great band regardless.
They really needed to turn that guitar down in the mix! Great stuff though.
Ok. They sorted the sound out after Mail Model. Phew.
Worst dressed band ever.
Yeah,where they came from in the late 1970s ,Ireland,theyd far more difficult things to deal with it than deciding what fuckin clothes to wear.
Ahh your poor eyes.
That was part of their charm, great pop and not being clothes horses and being relatable to us kids,then. Love these guys forever❤❤❤❤

@@babaallen61 I loved the Clash but I thought they were a bunch of posers
