I remember seeing this performance on telly in my teens and being struck by 3 things; Firstly, that John Maher was not only a fantastic drummer but possibly the coolest man on the planet. Secondly what a unique stage presence and voice Pete Shelley had (who bizarrely I always thought looked like a slightly camp version of Peter Gabriel here). But mainly I was just struck but what a great band they were, with every song they play here being an absolute corker. This is the first time I've seen this since then, so thanks for posting!

first saw live Buzzcocks in 1979 age 14 supported by Joy Division & saw them lot's over the years always Brilliant & probably the most important punk band ever more the the Pistols were etc R.I.P Pete Shelley

If these guys got a nickel for every 90's punk band that used their riffs..

I can hear the influence of The Buzzcocks in so many other bands from way back when right up to the here and now. I can still remember being so embarrassed asking for their Orgasm Addict single at a market stall in a time that seemed like everything was in black and white. If anybody asked me what a punk guitar band sounds like this is where I’d direct them.

Insane musicianship. This is my formative music, never realised how technically adept they were back in the day and ahead of their time.. Good god.

[@stoned466]

Ah, how fine it was! Saw them once in this era, 1979-1980, again in 1991 when the Greatest Hits CD came out, and a year later for "Trade Test Transmissions." Equal parts Mersey Beat and white noise is how I described them, then. Shelly's XL-1 solo album fits in nicely too. I was delighted when my daughter enjoyed"Telephone Operator". Got your "Dad Rock" right here!
