Thanks, never seen this one. I saw another Generation X for the first time yesterday. There's a video of them playing "Wild Youth" live on 1978 Swap Shop.
I've got this on the 12" EP, it was good to hear Steve Jones joining in with an old mate from back at the start of the whole UK Punk thing. It was a favour repaid.
This is so odd, it's like it's a backing track for the music and backing vocals and Billy is the only live mic. Whatever this is it's amazing it exists.
This was the final public appearance of ‘Gen X’. Shortly after this they parted ways and Billy went on to his solo career. Interesting getup he’s got going here. Sort of “Prince meets Dave Vanian”. 😬😅
Oh My Gosh,,, This IS GREAT !!!!! LOVE IT !!! 😎 Bob from Michigan
This is pure GOLD 🥇🪙.

Great one been in the legendary Punk Rock Football Team 🍻💊🍻
The Untouchables is Billy's best song ever. Love his Generation X era even more than solo Idol.
This guy gets it.
Well, you know that's live! looks like he came in a bit early. How cool is this!
I think the band didn't change at the right time - or maybe I'm just used to hearing the US single version.
@@MartinMCadeeverything is prerecorded except Billy Idol’s lead vox. Common on UK tv at the time

Steve is particularly crunchy on Untouchables

Best live vocal version by far 👌🏻
Great moment. Thanks for this

I never realized he did the Prince thing, wearing a trenchcoat and thong!
More of a Tails Coat than a Trench Coat
Some troubles with the lyrics in the beginning but brilliant!
So this is where “Dirty Mind “era Prince got the trench coat and thong thing from! Or was it the other way around?
Oh my wtf has he got on? wonder if he's seen this recently 😜
Still wears it in the bedroom probs
Still never beat the debut album. But brilliant none the less.
Different band at this point.
Fuckin brilliant 👏
Generation x were so much better than anything idol ever did in his solo career!!!
Speed kills!
Some outfit - it could have been 2023 ...
The 'Rebel Fist' training started with Your Generation 🤣
I just got back from work and looked at this again. "Untouchables" is one of my favorites from them. Totally gross that he's in underwear though.
The story goes Idol was going to leave the band so he thought he'd wind up the others and dress like that, is funny.
I thought he just borrowed some clothes from Prince's 'Dirty Mind' era.
😡😡😡
@nadaenespecial4707 The first thing I thought was, this is the same outfit Prince wore.
billy idol can wear whatever he wants!
Drugs were heavily used in those days
And?
The drugs were also a lot better in those days.
Best years of our lives 🍻💊🍻
Am i seeing things or is he not wearing any pants
Too many nose beers billy. Off chops!!
Thong
not mid 80s more like 1980
13th March 1981 it was broadcast. I started my VHS trading around the mid 1980's when I got this should have come out like, hope you enjoy my posts
What the hell is he wearing?!?
What the hell is he wearing? Looks like a trick at a Gay Bar.😂
В трусах конечно не очень ..но всё равно Билли супер !
Billy Idol Version Was Better When
He Went On A Solo.
Nope.
Generation X were so much better than anything idol ever did in his solo career!!
It’s that good, he comes in early and forgets the lyrics. I’ve seen him solo… and saw him at the Poly… he is much better now
😂😂😂 bullshit
Your right man
Yep well said cheers 🍻
merry Xmas stay out of trouble
Yes, but not targeting the same audience
