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
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,
My disabled brother is going to see them tonight , he hasn’t left the house in years ( true story ) . This band got him out the house ! Incredible thank you
@alastairbrewster4274 aw that's lovely to hear, great stuff 😊 don't think we've ever met but from one PSB fan to another pls send all my best to your brother!
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'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)!
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."
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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!
@@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.
“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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Nine years later and this glorious masterpiece still makes me get up, dance like Molly Ringwald in The Breakfast Club, smile, and just... let it all... go! Thank you.
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!
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.
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)
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/
Played to honour ex controller chris kraft who died a couple of days ago BBC News - Proms pay space-aged tribute to Nasa engineer Christopher Kraft www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-49130035
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!
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
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!
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.
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 👍
Absolutely brilliant, thank you Professor Brian Cox and Radio 2 tracks of our years for helping to bring me to the wonderful exciting unique experience
YES! Prof Brian Cox brought me here too. It literally stopped me in my tracks. An exhilarating piece of art. White Star Line is also great. PSB have a new fan.
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.
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
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.
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 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.
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.
We saw PSB at Blue Dot festival last year, along with Jean Michel Jarre, and Underworld, all with the Jodrell bank telescope in the background: how good is that? best gig ever!
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.
Saw them live recently. Absolutely fantastic. The sound combined with the visuals is incredible. They are probably the tightest band I've ever seen as. The drummer is an absolute beast.
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
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.
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
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..)
A friend of mine, knowing I was a huge space-program nerd (especially the Apollo program) recommended this to me. He was right, I loved it! Even without the added Apollo sights and sounds it's still a very good track on its own - the rest is just the cherry on the top! I've just purchased it on iTunes and will definitely be giving the rest of your work a listen to!
It's so cool of Public Service Broadcasting to have created this commemoration/celebration of one of humankind's greatest achievements. I will always be thankful to have lived in this age where such exploration is taking place. If our civilisations survive, I know the next unfathomable steps in exploration during the coming centuries will be just as amazing for our ancestors. Our need to explore is inherent in we Homo sapiens and I believe it to be a survival iactic for creatures, such as us, that have the intelligence to employ and benefit0 from it. After all, exploration has been the main trait that has gotten us to where we are now. Godspeed, all humankind! God bless us all.
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.
I only started to listen to the Hello Internet podcast a couple of weeks ago, which is amazing, and they directed me to your music which is at least as amazing!
Just got back from watching Professor Brian Cox's Horizons show, and this was the credits song - I can't think of any better song for it. The landmark, the opening of the science fiction future we all came into, and while it may have been a false start, I truly believe we're going to go and stay some time, be it with Artemis or some other series of missions. Space is just too curious not to explore - we just have to do it before it's too late for us. Godspeed and safe flying, humanity. 07

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.

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.
Thank you Matt Gray for introducing me to this absolute banger!
I bet I've watched this 50 times. Still get choked up every time...
me too
Just discovered this song on Tidal and it's INSANE!
Saw them live recently. Absolutely fantastic. The sound combined with the visuals is incredible. They are probably the tightest band I've ever seen as. The drummer is an absolute beast.
Smarter every day brought me here
Downs Master SmarterEveryDay Destin brought me over here as well!
Downs Master Same here, awesome video!
Downs Master SmarterEveryDay Bump!
same here
Downs Master Ditto! Thanks, Destin!
Those synths give me goose bumps , amazing sound.
This sends shivers down my spine and I was born a good 30 years after the moon landing. This is the power of humanity working together
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
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.
1:43 I like the enthusiasm of Guidance!
so lovely Song, you all please stay safe from the Corona Virus and many greetings from Brunswick in Germany :)
Braunschweig 😊
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
I just discovered this Band Today
Come and listen again my friend
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..)
Happy 50th and Thank You for this music! This is brilliant!
A friend of mine, knowing I was a huge space-program nerd (especially the Apollo program) recommended this to me. He was right, I loved it! Even without the added Apollo sights and sounds it's still a very good track on its own - the rest is just the cherry on the top!
I've just purchased it on iTunes and will definitely be giving the rest of your work a listen to!
Guidance is always so enthusiastic - I want his voice on my satnav
a legendary music and song
I've been waiting for this song my whole life :)
harry bhoy I agree, me either :)
It's so cool of Public Service Broadcasting to have created this commemoration/celebration of one of humankind's greatest achievements. I will always be thankful to have lived in this age where such exploration is taking place. If our civilisations survive, I know the next unfathomable steps in exploration during the coming centuries will be just as amazing for our ancestors. Our need to explore is inherent in we Homo sapiens and I believe it to be a survival iactic for creatures, such as us, that have the intelligence to employ and benefit0 from it. After all, exploration has been the main trait that has gotten us to where we are now. Godspeed, all humankind! God bless us all.
Heard this song playing this afternoon at work on BBC radio 6 music such a great song
Ciaran Damien Bradley This tune is tremendous, heard it same time as yourself
Ciaran Damien Bradley heard it this morning on 6music
Ciaran Damien Bradley yes that's where I heard it and fell in love with it, such a great track
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.
I come here anytime NASA does anything cool. Happy Perseverance Day everyone!
Saw them live last night at the Greenman festival and cannot stop listening to them now.
WMBR radio in cambridge plays this once in a while and i love when i catch it. This is great. Well done!
I only started to listen to the Hello Internet podcast a couple of weeks ago, which is amazing, and they directed me to your music which is at least as amazing!
Tim
Goosebumps man! This is incredible, a work of art.
Such a good track! It gives me goosebumps and has brought me to tears more than once.
Love that little guitar lick, brilliant tune underrated band these guys are amazing
Beautiful, just beautiful! I reckon Buzz and Mike would love this, and Neil would have, too.
Almost brought me to tears. Beautiful.
This song was very cool that I learned about Apollo 11
I’m happy you landed on the moon
It was fun watching this at school bravo

Brady IS HARD AS NAILS
Just got back from watching Professor Brian Cox's Horizons show, and this was the credits song - I can't think of any better song for it. The landmark, the opening of the science fiction future we all came into, and while it may have been a false start, I truly believe we're going to go and stay some time, be it with Artemis or some other series of missions. Space is just too curious not to explore - we just have to do it before it's too late for us. Godspeed and safe flying, humanity. 07
Happy 50th anniversary, Apollo 11. One of the most inspiring events of my childhood, and it fills me with awe to this day.
This track refuses to disappear ! its SO good.
GO
💯
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...
I watched this performed live at Glastonbury 2015 and the whole crowd thoroughly enjoyed it.
It was an amazing set- loved it!
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.
We simply love the go! from Guidance
He does it with feeling.
