@Mike Head back in the old days before roadside drug testing kits were widely available.

[@claudiakittydisco3412]

OMG yeeeeeessssss never seen it live before!! LOVE IT still (and even more now seeing them play it!) x

[@StopFear]

This song sounds like it’s ahead of its time for 1989

[@fernhausluv44]

Agreed - sounds like it comes from 1994.

[@maria-melek]

@@fernhausluv44 Yeah or 2000. I’m a early 2000s baby but this song seems so recent and nostalgic. Never heard it until like 3 weeks ago though.

[@fallat1sthurdle]

i can tell you definatively this is 100% live.

[@user-rr6kz8vu3i]

Most atmospheric tune , love it.

[@CertifiedClassicB]

This BBC video inspired someone in R* who made the tracklist for GTA San Andreas radio SF-UR, you can hear at the end of this video the next song on the radio too

[@Flashback_Jack]

Still watching in 2021. THANK YOU A GUY CALLED GERALD FOR THIS MASTERPIECE!

[@Flashback_Jack]

@Steve H
It's the Bootsy Collins style bassline that puts the funk of this time over the top for me.

[@KalleBlomqvist]

An instant classic!

Yamaha WX5/WX7, immensely versatile instrument, but totally forgotten these days.

[@GoldenPickaxe]

oh god I would kill for a wind controller. I think Akai's is more popular these days amongst the few people who still use them. they're not dead though; SampleModeling has special support for wind controllers in their instruments I do believe.

I saw 808 state at the Ritz. The quality of the PA was piss poor. I remember going to the desk to complain and being told in no uncertain terms to fuck off

[@anthonykilgannon3443]

This was a classic.and yes they were wank live people get carried away over one song though.

[@basiledaudet5774]

This is absolutely a live

[@JohnTaylorMusicClips53]

They came from Manchester: The story of mancunian pop www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00d9g2x
Hope they show it on 3rd July to coincide with the Manchester 1989 episode that started the 90s

[@AngryBulldogg]

Is it pacific state, Pacific 202 or according to this vid 707?

[@_sawbonz_]

Pacific state is original, 202 is the remix they made a few months later and 707 is a better edit of that remix. This is 707.

[@synthmalicious7541]

Pacific 707, Pacific 202, Pacific State, which one is it??

[@AngryBulldogg]

synthmalicious hahaha ive just asked exactly the same thing. I shudda just scrolled down to this comment save my thumb a bashing. Did u ever find out??

[@MartinXSTR]

i think it's actually 707 considering by the distinctive synth skip and flute solo at 1:59
