Go! is the second single to be taken from Public Service Broadcasting's new album The Race For Space.
Directed by Lucy Dawkins and Tom Readdy. Produced by Yes Please! Productions.
Thanks to the NASA Audio & Multimedia Collections and Colin Mackellar at honeysucklecreek.net for the material used in this video.
As an old punk of 52 years of age, who stayed up as a little kid to watch this historic happening on TV, I think this track is fucking fantastic.
SimplyReg I'm not quite as old but I agree this track is fucking awesome.
SimplyReg I am the same age as you and also an old punk. Listen to "The Other Side" - it will transport you back to the last 60's sitting in your living room watching the first manned lunar orbit on TV and it will make you cry,
bigHCTID I'm only 18 but it makes my eyes water every time I listen to it!
SimplyReg I'm 53 and love this song.
SimplyReg 53 here and absolutely love this!
I'm 81 and I just love this track. Masterpiece.
excellent, I love it, I memorised the lines lol

"okay, keep the chatter down in this room"
Literally just accomplished the impossible and still so damn professional. It's a testament to the entire Apollo program
Brilliant comment. Exactly!
I think this moment inspired George Lucas.
Average age of NASA Mission Control.... 28 years old.
"I know all your lives' work is finally complete, so is mine, but we still have PEOPLE on the MOON and if there is any miscommunication, they might DIE so please be so kind as to SHUT UP"
Except, you know, with more tact.
@@leatherneck818 One of them sounds about 14!
Shivers. For those of you too young to have seen the landing live, this track really captures the feeling of excitement and pride.
@Jon Clark me too.

I wasn’t alive
Too young yez. Shivers from the quality ofmusic.
Oh brilliant stuff. Please play this in 2024 when Artemis returns to the moon!
I like the way one of the controllers sounds a bit excitable in the way he hells "GO!", the others just being professionally deadpan.
+Matt Jackson LOL - same here. :D
+SimplyReg Agreed!
That's Steve Bales, in charge of guidance. He had to deal with several problems that arose during the landing and make some very last minute decisions on the "go no go".
Also, check out the website First Men On The Moon (dot com) for a live collection of the different audio and video recordings of the landing (as well as Neil Armstrongs heart rate)!
I'd be excited, too!
Guidence officer!
Seen them live a few times and whenever this song comes on the crowd yells out the lyrics with so much energy...they even cheer when it says "the eagle has landed"
That sound like a perfect moment in time to be a part of that!
I saw these guys randomly at a festival here in Australia, and was so suprised when I heard their sound
Gene Kranz writes in his book about the powered descent. (Steve Bales is the GUIDANCE officer): "I tell the controllers to make their Go NoGo decision based on the last data they think is valid. I trust enough in their judgment and the spacecraft to keep descending without data for a while. I go rapidly around the horn, and all controllers are Go, especially Bales. His “Go!” resounds clearly through the room like a cymbal. He does not need a voice loop today. I chuckle as I continue polling the controllers."
This is fantastic, and indeed worthwhile. Don't forget yourselves.
Honestly this song makes me cry everytime I listen to it on the album. It's such a moving testament to the incredible achievements of mankind.
The only film that reliably makes me cry is Apollo 13.
I'm embarrassed to say, it brings tears to me, also, *every* time.
Same. I think this was the pinnacle moment of human achievement and it’s been very sadly all downhill from here.
Well said. I must have listened to this track dozens of times but always evokes that emotion.
It is the best of our species isn't it. A testament to what we can do if we co-operate instead of fight. We need to be reminded of what we're capable of achieving, at the moment.
One small strum for man, a giant soundtrack for mankind
Hogan Lerman delicious!
well said nogah armstrong
"Houston, Tranquility base here. The Nogah has Lermaned."
What?
- what?
This track is awesome because it sums up ...... being on it, positive, courage, risk, TEAM, belief, energy, intellect, humankind, evolution, and our desire to venture out there ... and we GO
Oh, I agree. Incredibly well done.
wow, I just can't stop playing this. Everything is uplifting, the tune, the playing, the video clips, and yes that guy on "guidance", I shout along with him every time!
Steve Bales is the guidance officer in this audio if I'm not mistaken!
Everest is very hard to stop listening too aswell
@@revenevan11 Fun fact: As guidance officer, he's also the one who had to make the hard choice a little bit later in the song, regarding the 12 02 alarm.
“Let’s keep the chatter down in this room “ ..I want this on a shirt .
54 years ago today, at 8:17pm GMT - "The Eagle has landed." PSB landed among the pantheon of the all time greats with this album, and the historically accurate, emotional power of "Go!" is a huge reason why.
My GOD this song is so freaking addictive! Makes you want to grab an old cassette tape, record this on both sides and then find an old player with auto-reverse. Loop that shit.
As someone who thinks the moon landings were literally the best thing our species has ever done - an example of what we can achieve when we cooperate instead of fighting one another - this track moves me to tears.
didn't the moon landings happen in part due to the posturing of rival superpowers?
@@davidtaylor4717 Yes and that's an irony - one of the greatest feats of cooperation was born of competition. It's worth noting though that NASA's Russian counterparts also celebrated when Armstrong sent his famous "The eagle has landed" message. For them it was a victory for mankind and science, not a loss for Russia: even though they wished it had been them, they were glad that *someone* did it, and the truth is that they never really stood a chance of getting to the moon first - their program had suffered too many setbacks, most notably the death of their genius Chief Designer, Sergei Koryolev, the man who had put Russia in space first.
There's a photo of me as a 15month old watching the landing. I've been listening to this song for nearly 7 years.
It still makes me tear up, if not flat-out cry every single time. Usually at the 2:50 mark.
@@tostare Good point. It can also be argued that the Soviets had a small "victory" in the competition (like the rest of humanity), because although it was two completely opposing world-views between the USA and the USSR, it wasn't some billionaire entrepreneur like Elon Musk who put an American on the moon, but a space programme that was using public funding instead (in a similar way to the Soviet space programme). Obviously it's more complicated than that, but if you wanted to prove to the Russians that "our way" is better, it would be done in a purely capitalist way by some private giant corporation with its own space programme. So in a sense the Soviets got their point across: to achieve big things you do need people to come together to work towards a common goal.
You're damn right, chum.
Grandad was absolutely fascinated by the moon landing. Staying up late to watch it. It was his wish that this be played at his funeral. Absolutely beautiful
I was born just a bit too young to see it, but old enough to live with its immediate impact on the world - so they'll play it at mine too - there's probably no afterlife but if there is me and your grandad can rock out to it together
This needs to be re-released in honour of 50 years since the Moon landing
They're playing the album live, with orchestra, at the BBC Proms this year. July 25th, 10pm london time. You can listen to it live via internet at BBC Radio 3.
www.royalalberthall.com/tickets/proms/bbc-proms-2019/prom-10-public-service-broadcasting/
They also played at Apollo50 at Goonhilly Earth Station on Saturday - my first encounter with PSB and I loved it!
They played the whole album at Goonhilly Apollo too. Cracking show.
This track had so much more energy live.
Played to honour ex controller chris kraft who died a couple of days ago

@@MrY-mc7uv was very tempted to go, wish I had now 😔
“Go” has to be one of the best songs ever produced. I can’t listen to it and not envisage myself all space suited up and giving the thumbs up shouting “go” with each chorus. Normally when driving the car. Bloody. Genius! High adrenaline stuff. Love them.
As a 50something this brings back a lot of memories...very clear ones of staying up as an excited nine year old to watch the landing on black and white tv!
Heard for the first time today thanks to listening to Radio 2, Prof. Brian Cox had it on his Tracks of my years. Brilliant.
Please check out, inform educate entertain, from them. So amazing too
Love how it falls quiet at 02:30 to reflect the sudden silence in the craft and the relief of landing safely.
This band is just brilliant. Been following them for ages now and they're always full of surprises!
Likewise,terrific music top class chaps,i cant wait to see them in Dublin again.
Friendchip.
Just here to remind you that you commented on this 7 years ago
You need to change the thumbs up/thumbs down logos to go/no go for this video :)
Is anyone else who has got the clear vinyl finding it hard to get the inner sleeve into/out of the cover due to the thickness of the vinyl?! #firstworldproblems
thompsonarty So are you thumbs up or thumbs down on this track?
Love this track!
SendTheWolf3man I was one of the first to thumbs-up this one, thankfully the Go's are leading the No Go's by a big margin :)

@@jeffvader811 on a loop?
What language do Kebals speak, mate?
This song makes me cry every time without fail and I really don't know why
Its usually the emotion of the event/thing in question, I do the same when I see a Super Marine Spitfire, and they do that song too LOL.
I think it's because NASA spent a long time trying to be very sober and serious about space travel, and accidentally stripped away a lot of the romance, something that only got rediscovered recently. Because romance and awe is NOT a lesser reason to do something! There's nothing wrong with acknowledging that sense of wonder, that thrill of what's over (or above) the horizon. I feel that same sense of awe when I read or see videos about exoplanets, the Cassini or New Horizons missions, or seeing that first aircraft on Mars. It's millions of dollars being spent on optimism, in a world where billions are spent on cynicism.
@@paulgibbon5991 I really wish I could have seen the space race, I think there was a really strong sense of hope and excitement going on during it that I would have loved to see... Not to mention all of the toys and movies and so on that added to the fervor and excitement
You're not alone. It's the endeavour, the bravery, the vision. With a decent band giving their take.
Absolutely marvellous, the way they turned Mission Control into a song, indeed the way it lent itself to being turned into a song, who'da thunk it? Stand-out song on the album to me, and a fine tribute to one of mankind's greatest moments.
Ok keep the chatter down in this room
Hous - Houston, Tranquility. Do you have a way of showing the configuration of the engine arm circuit breaker? Over. The reason I'm asking is because the end of it appears to be broken off. I think we can push it back in again. I'm not sure we could pull it out if we pushed it in, though. Over.
@@lyrimetacurl0 OK now I am just Drifting, damn she sure looks beautiful from up here .
Actually they said Inverness settle at there gig here as we were given them the usual Highland welcome
Brilliant hope you’re safe.
I found these by accident on Spotify, fucking glad i did, amazing.
Omg....same. Thank you Spotify for introducing me to this gem!
I don't know why but i find this song so comforting with my anxiety
I love it

Just heard this for the first time today in BBC radio 2 😮
Fantastic!!!
Me too
Check out their other stuff if you haven't yet already. Public Service Broadcasting are great. "The Other Side" from this album is ace, and earlier stuff like "Night Mail", "Spitfire" and "The Now Generation" are among my favourites.
Happy anniversary, Apollo 11! Such a great song.
I am so in love with this. The whole album is amazing. These guys take sampling to the next level, really, piecing together the spoken bits, reconstructing them, and using them like colors on a palette.
Ye wanna see them live,terrific!
Friendchip.
Amazing 👍🏻
I usually don't like sampling, but this stuff is great.
you should check Microfilm's works. It's a french group, with the same concept. Dunno if PSB got inspired by them, the sound isn't similar (more post rock for microfilm)
Heard this for the first time last night. A) Can't believe I've only just heard it B) I love when you find a record that's a few years old and makes you simply 'go' WOW. This certainly did that. WOW!
Very seldom do I find a new band that I instantly fall in love with these days and until tonight I had never heard of Public Service Broadcasting, but thanks to Newsnight on the BBC tonight i heard this tune and instantly came to UA-cam to find more by the band..... What a wonderful surprise... :)
OK, you've taken your time, but welcome to the club! Their Prom will be shown on BBC4 on Friday evening, but you really must make it your mission to see them live yourself!
I'm really glad BBC used them, it's criminal how overlooked these guys are. I'm saying this as a lifelong metal fan too!
my fave bit is 0:02 - 3:58
yep
What did that first second do to ya?
Lindsey Wood, moon hater.
A little tearful. I lived through the program, particularly as a young science geek from gemini onwards.
All I have to say is, good luck to all of you, and play it cool.
Just discovered this song on Tidal and it's INSANE!
On the second go around the horn, Bales gives his first enthusiastic "GO!" callout and Kranz almost loses it calling out to TELCOM, and you can't not hear that every time you hear this again
I've listened to this song a dozen times and I still get chills at that beep (Houston, uh... Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.). That was masterfully set up.
I stumbled across this track yesterday, I haven’t stopped playing it, it’s fantastic
I just discovered this Band Today
Come and listen again my friend
Hello Internet was right. It is criminal that this awesome vid doesn't have more than 331k views.

It’s great to see a fellow Tim here
Hi Tims!
March '21, over 2m! 😎
I bet I've watched this 50 times. Still get choked up every time...
I forgot who did this track.
All I could remember was it is called "Go"
That *_really_* doesn't help when trying to search for it.
I forgot who did this track again.
Fortunately this time I searched _race for space._
That works so much better than typing "go" into the YT search bar.
Brady IS HARD AS NAILS
I played this to 200 chinese students during an online summer class for highschoolers, from Imperial College London: I can report that the delight in Go! spans generations and nationalities. We're off to a good start: play it cool.
My mum came to wake me to watch this in fuzzy black and white on a valve tv, you cannot believe what a mindfxxk it was to a sleepy young kid, when they got out and walked on the surface !!! Saw the band last night btw, GREAT 👍
I really like how guidance is fucking HYPED
The clear heavy-weight vinyl LP landed on my doorstep this morning :-)
I love these guys.
My Ltd clear vinyl arrived on Monday: just bloody lovely. Both the physical album itself & what's in the grooves. Hope you get as much pleasure from it as I've had.
I’ll never forget that event. I was six years old. Family and friends gathered in front of the TV set. We watched in awe at the fuzzy black and white picture of Neil Armstrong climbing down the ladder.
This clip really catches the magic of that moment.
I have listened to some of their stuff, not a huge fan, but this is weirdly awesome and addictive. One of the best tunes I have heard all year. Love it.
Go and see them..
Rest in power Micheal Collins
Only just discovered this song today! Thanks to Lauren Laverne on radio 6, now on repeat, works on all levels! Loving it!!
Yes same, what a tune, its just so epic👍
Same, never heard about them and now life is better :)
Heard this for the first time on my commute on Monday morning on Radio 6. Absolutely superb 👌
You have great taste in radio choice. 6 music is the best.
Thank you Matt Gray for introducing me to this absolute banger!
Hearing the rhythm in the roll call, and making it into a song, is brilliant.
OK, keep the chatter down in this room. :)
Without doubt the most innovative and exciting band to hit the scene for ages. Outstanding album.......
Guidance is always so enthusiastic - I want his voice on my satnav
It's amazing how you can just feel the room erupting after the "Eagle has landed", even though you can't hear it over the comms
sitting watching the apollo landings on a black and white tv as a kid i was in awe of the amount of courage needed to step on the moon this track really captures that moment so proud i come from the same era

GO for repeat
Whoa, this is awesome. Why recommended to me 7 years after posting ?
A totally fuckin' perfect crossover between Electronica and Rock with a spicing of syncopation. A perfect track.
I came here from Fran Blanche's channel Franlab. You people are really good.
I come here anytime NASA does anything cool. Happy Perseverance Day everyone!
As a 9 year boy who watched Apollo 11 landing live on tv this just takes right back to a little 9 year old boy stunning track guys.
Happy 50th anniversary, Apollo 11. One of the most inspiring events of my childhood, and it fills me with awe to this day.
Saw them live last night at the Greenman festival and cannot stop listening to them now.
I usually listen to this song when I'm working, if you're a scientist you know what I'm talking about...!!
volume control , GO!, what a tune...
I watched this performed live at Glastonbury 2015 and the whole crowd thoroughly enjoyed it.
It was an amazing set- loved it!
And today we have another GO!
FINALLY.. I've listened to a modern music recommendation by my nephew and LIKE what I hear. Love the sampling and yes, it does bring to mind the excitement and awe of the achievements in 1969 (I was 14- do the math..)
this song gave my 2 kinds of goosebumps
Brian Cox show event horizons ending song sent me here
Almost brought me to tears. Beautiful.
My friend sent me this song and I love this sooo much. It's fcking amazing. The music carries the emotions and excitement of the moon landing. I wasn't there when it happened but i think this is how one would've felt back then.
We simply love the go! from Guidance
He does it with feeling.
I first heard this track on leaving my friends funeral service in the church a few months ago, he died tragically but something positive came out of it for me. Thank you Andy for introducing me to PSB.
Wow - this broad tears to my eyes.
I've been waiting for this song my whole life :)
harry bhoy I agree, me either :)
Happy 50th and Thank You for this music! This is brilliant!
Had to play this for Perseverance landing just now, doing it by its badass self... We need to keep crossing those frontiers!
Had exactly the same Idea...
Discovered this today via the Matt Chorley show on Times Radio. Like a previous poster, I too feel so much administration for those people who chose to do the other thing. Must admit I started quietly sobbing at their achievement and this most excellent tribute.
I can’t help but share this song with some friend every time it comes on. So good.
so lovely Song, you all please stay safe from the Corona Virus and many greetings from Brunswick in Germany :)
Braunschweig 😊
my friend just showed me this. i am gratefully happy.
This song randomly popped up in my Spotify playlist - and ever since I am hooked up to this tune in particular, I hope I can see these guys live some day. Amazing music!!!!! Well done guys
This song was very cool that I learned about Apollo 11
I’m happy you landed on the moon

Loved the Proms performance of The Race for Space. Fab... GO!
Love that little guitar lick, brilliant tune underrated band these guys are amazing
Getting excited about SpaceX crew launch today. This makes me think YAY
What I wouldn't give to have seen this in person. This music video alone stirs pride and wonderment within me. We humans LEFT THE PLANET! How incredible is that? I like to think of times like this when things are daunting or I start losing faith in humanity. I like to remind myself of all the amazing things we've accomplished thus far, and that we are capable of such incredible things.
I have this on my phone and I listen to it over and over and over and it never gets old.
