I'm sad to hear about Andy Gill's passing, his chops were immense and Entertainment! will always be one of my favourite post-punk albums. Much love and empathy to his family and friends.
In a sort of late/sideways ‘defense’ of this mistaken attribution, I have to say I saw them a number of times, and Sara Lee played ALL the lines of the original/earlier Go4 bassists at least as well as any of them did. RIP Andy, you were a true giant
I was listening to these guys for 20 years or more before I ever saw what they looked like. It's not what I expected but the dancing is perfect and Andy Gill's technique is cool to watch.
How is it not what you expected, out of interest? They look a bit more "New Wave" than I was expecting, but I guess that was the fashion in 1983 when this was shot. They probably had more of a punk image in 1979.
@@ajs41 I'm not sure I'd given it much thought since the records didn't have pictures. Simplistically I guess like The Clash and/or Billy Bragg? I think it's mainly that that blazer reads very Duran Duran now but of course those were pretty normal clothes at the time. And this is the "I Love a Man in Uniform" era which I possibly didn't get right away the first time I saw this.
Entertainment and Solid Gold, love these albums! Deconstruct the bogus institution of popular love songs, Andy Gill states: "These groups and singers think that they appeal to everyone by singing about love, because apparently everyone has or can love," he deadpans. "Or so they would have you believe, anyway."
Hugo is solid. Not flashy, not a chopsmaster but as he said of himself: I'm not the best drummer but the BEST GOF drummer. Thank you Hugo...you rock on.

Wow, I fell in love with this album about 15 years ago, I've listened to it probably hundreds of times and I had no idea it was a woman playing bass! Such a great band. All four of them always play exactly the right notes at the right time. It's an impeccable album!
You better get off the stick, because there's already been plenty of others forming tons of new Post-Punk bands. Maybe you could go in for some Darkwave or Goth, but you're going to have plenty of competition there too, now.
I saw them at the old market in Brighton about fifteen years ago for the fringe. When they come on the singer had a baseball bat and he kept hitting a microwave oven to the beat the oven kept flashing eventually it burst open and an led skipping rope fell out I dived over the mosh pit and grabbed it, I was still in my forties then couldn’t do all that stuff now too unfit. Gotta day they are good the Gang of Four 👍
hate to say but the 80s are.over..but I'll never forget seeing the gang of four in the city.amongst many other dam good groups..I.E.echo - the bunnymen' the cure' joy division' new order& so many more.who have not been given their dues.but that's so U.S.A.let's give thanks to good music....
Band came out to Teragram a coupla years ago and I bought their t-shirt. Fifteen bucks for a t shirt might seem like a lot but they played in person for only 50 bucks. Like reasonably up close.
July 22nd, 1982. Still not sure if I've ever seen a better show. (Though the Clash only 25 days later might have been just that.) "Ooooh, look out you rock 'n' rollers..."
Actually that is not Sara Lee on Bass!!! It is the great and original Dave Allen!! Yes he is fucking awesome! a great talent. Sara Lee is playing in the new form of GOF one original member, guitarist Andy Gill. Also very talented and a huge influence on my guitar playing. Love GANG OF FOUR!!

Saw GoF back in the early '80's and thought they had David Bowie playing bass . . Sarah was a dead ringer for Bowie, or was it the other way around? A VERY LOUD show.
It's true, people forget that Bowie was actually a follower and not a leader, he always adopted a style a split second after it had already been established by someone else

RIP Andy Gill, post-punk legend.
artaud
gotta love the tone out of that P bass
God, played with one guy before with this tone exact powerful tone - also used a P-Bass, it was the best experience ever to have that backing me up.
Sara Lee, vastly underrated.
She's the Jane Entwistle of the genre, and really simply one of the best.
All this time I thought it was a Ric.
Yeah, I love the p-bass sound, just not the feel... despite playing a J-Bass with a P-Bass neck.
I'm sad to hear about Andy Gill's passing, his chops were immense and Entertainment! will always be one of my favourite post-punk albums. Much love and empathy to his family and friends.
Entertainment! is an amazing album, a raw masterpiece.
Keep it alive! Keep coming back! Music hasn’t caught up to this yet!
R.I.P. Andy Gill. I thank you for your art work, specially with the Gang of Four. You made my life better. I will miss you.
Honestly, the very best bassist of the genre. She was just amazing to watch and listen to back then... and still today.
@MusicalElitist1 lame
@MusicalElitist1 What a burn
Dave Allen was the bassist who played on Entertainment and Solid Gold though. I’m big on Peter Hook (Joy Division) & Simon Gallup (Cure) too.
In a sort of late/sideways ‘defense’ of this mistaken attribution, I have to say I saw them a number of times, and Sara Lee played ALL the lines of the original/earlier Go4 bassists at least as well as any of them did. RIP Andy, you were a true giant
she wasnt on the original recordings of entertainment and solid gold, but she killed it live
I have worn out 4 copies of entertainment. One of my all time favorites.
How do you wear out an mp3
İ think it wasn't mp3
Words, guitar, bass and drums - masterpiece that is touching, really.

Well damn you guys thats four of us lets do this shit! lol
Haha hell yeah!
REST IN POWER ANDY, Thank you for making my teen years amazing. You were a wonderful person and I hope you're at peace now.
So long Andy... You were a true 'one-off'. Such a cool dude on stage. Legend! R. I. P.
very true, he was such a cool presence on stage....
I love the harmonies that Sara adds to the refrain/outro here. This is a killer version.
Andy Gill is one of my favorite guitarists
Ahhhhh…Back in THE DAY💥
Thank You Andy. Rest Well
RIP Andy Gill 🖤

Solid drumming
Hes rock solid. I've been trying to drum along to their first 2 records the last 2 weeks, i cant keep up. Hes equally tight live.
Hugo is solid. Not flashy, not a chopsmaster but as he said of himself: I'm not the best drummer but the BEST GOF drummer. Thank you Hugo...you rock on.
It never gets old.
RIP Andy :(
Great band from back in the day. Always loved this track. It will get you moving every time.
They're even better now. I mean Gill is the only one left but the young singer is amazing. Saw them live last weekend.
One of the best ever bands in ever!
My favourite song by go4. Got loads of their records a very original and tremendous band.
10/13/20 MY LOVE FOR THIS SONG BROUGHT ME HERE TODAY!!!
Andy Gill still plays this with the same energy.
Andy Gill, THANK YOU.
Best live band I ever saw.
2:48 people used to come to watch band and enjoy the music and not just to appear on instagram. Good times. Love it!
Instagram didn't exist in 81

Muy adelantados a esa época eran buenísimos
thanks for the post
Grande clássico do Gang of four, adoro!
Vi-os em Espinho há muitos anos atrás👌
Some random 1979 Album called "Entertainment" was recommended to by my audio streaming service. Track 4 blew my socks off!! they sound fresh AF.
It is one of the most essential post-punk records, how is Entertainment! some random... smh
Live it's a bomb.. 💥
His danse is amazing! XD
Important band. Regret missing their gig in Perth Australia.
there playing my home town sunday
Wow incredible
Gang of four changed my life, I wish I was in 2:47
Amazing...forever.
Great band! Love this sound.
Amazing, true punk rock.
My favorite part of Entertainment! is the bass. This is fucking painful.
Andy Gill played with so much venom, loved it
Historic.
Andy Gill is amazing
fresh strings 😍
Band came out to Teragram a coupla years ago and I bought their t-shirt.
Fifteen bucks for a t shirt might seem like a lot but they played in person for
only 50 bucks. Like reasonably up close.
Saw them in 1983 with the Bad Brains . Fun show
sensacional essa música
Rest in Peace Andy Gil
mindblowing
Just vicious
Buzzcocks ,Gang of Four. Temple Beautiful. San Francisco,Epic
Kick ass version!
RIP Andy Gill
Sara Lee on bass. I wished they'd call me.
incel alert
The bass player used to work in a shop in Kendal and had a bad reputation for not giving the correct change!!!
Maybe she could only count in 3rds and 5ths😂
A Gill. A true anti guitar hero.
July 22nd, 1982. Still not sure if I've ever seen a better show. (Though the Clash only 25 days later might have been just that.)
"Ooooh, look out you rock 'n' rollers..."
LOVE this BAND
Con todo en los 80 !
Fabulous band 💜🤘🏾
Wooot i've heard gang of four for a while now and didn't realise they had a female bassist she's pretty good
what a wonderful vid

ziggy stardust on bass!!
Well he sure knew how to play guitar
daddy ...she
Ronan Rogers I know, it’s a reference from the song.
That’s Sara Lee !!
How can he play the guitar like that? How can he sing like that.,,? Loudest show I have ever attended, (not this one I don't think). Just the best
Ahh that time when Bowie played bass in Gang of Four

This band was never as powerful live after Dave Allen left!
