...I should add I like the dreamtime lp..it was the 2(?) That followed ..The band always had top rate 7" ..but having 2 covers 'All day'' & '96 tears' that were not 'walk on by' style reinventions to me seemed like it was a job & not much more ...but that's what's great about some things ' an ability to surprise'..SO what happens to 'the Stranglers' now
The Stranglers musically were my 1st love.... & still are. But whenever l see Dave play live, especially with Jet l always feel sad & nostalgic 😢. Most underrated & long serving & impressive British band - EVER!
Golden Brown is a song that when ever i hear it, it gives me a warm wonderful feeling inside , then found out today that the lovely melodic keyboard playing was that of a man that died of Coronavirus. So glad to know i learnt of his name DAVE and got to know his face. I was born in 1976 so the song brings back lovely memories for me. Thank you Dave!
Saw the Stranglers at Warwick University in the early-mid 80's it was packed.... they opened with this in pitch darkness 06:20 the lights came on at 06:25 - spine-tingling stuff for a 15 year old !!
I bought No More Heroes first and l think l bought Rattus Norvigicus after and Black and White from a kid at school ,,saw the Stranglers for the first time live in Bristol in 1979 when they brought the Raven Album out. I still love the first 5 Albums the most. Really sad to hear Dave Greenfield has past , RIP Dave , best keyboard player by far
I saw them in Portugal, 1979, in Cascais Pavilhão, near Lisbon, to see the RAVAN... I was 19, went by train alone for the first time, from Coimbra 200 km away... In the Hall, weed everywhere, then tried to come back to Lisbon by train, people started throwing stones into the train car... I was hit, got out of the train in Oeiras, I got sewn in my forehead, then walked anout 15km as the sun rose... What a defining moment for me...
I love the stranglers but only the hugh cornwell days ive been there and got the t shirt rip dave i will never forget the edin odean gig in 81 when you opened the gig with shah shah a go go you won the bet that night from my mate pete and les the rosewell boys ;)
I'm with you about Hugh. Tried listening to 'Sugar Bullets' but it sounded like Rainbow not the Stranglers, so I gave up. Did get a shock hearing Dave was dead, very sad.
Jean J Burnel made an appearance on that stage when it was the Civic Centre. He received the school prize for history and his chosen book (the prize) was Chairman Mao's 'Little Red Book', which was wrapped in brown paper, so it didn't offend the person presenting the prize.
very hard to watch - with the visuals they were experimenting with at the time . Still changed my outlook on life . Music and news - that we never had acess to - in the 70,s - of course love my post Stranglers excistance . There is no other
I hope they carry on but how can you replace Dave Greenfield?this is a big loss for everybody connected to the stranglers.I had planned to see them play Belfast on 30th May which will now not happen off course.it is just over one week now since we have lost Dave and I'm still gutted and still feeling very sad.his music will live forever.thankyou so much Dave for the memories and the wonderful music.RIP my friend.never forgotten.💔💕
They always said they'd stop when Jet died, but obviously he's still here but surely they will call it a day? I mean they might do a memorial gig with guest keyboardist but how do you replace Dave permanently? No, a couple of memorial gigs then retire the band
Look at the camera vibrating when JJ whacks the bass with his fist. It doesn't come across on this video because the acoustics aren't good enough, but in the hall the vibrations rattled your bones. You had to be there to experience it.
They could not replace Hugh Cornwell, now that Dave Greenfield has gone, that for me is the end of the stranglers, as a band, until Hugh decides to step in, even then be hard without Dave.
Us 'real fans' were there at the Rainbow, Marquee etc in '76-'78 and on... so F off Bazzer if I can be bothered to come and see your lighter incarnation (more for JJ nowadays than anything) I've earned a seat. We're not going to be re-sold 70s anger as it no longer exists. Talent or nothing.
Love the early Stranglers stuff. However, not sure about the opening here and the piss take of those seated. Bearing in mind the average age of the fan base just maybe it's not healthy for some to be in the bundle down the front.
I'm guessing you're hinting at no Hugh . Well , he's been gone nearly 30 years now , part of the history of course , but better now than Hugh era 10 IMO . I'd rather have The Stranglers in this form than no Stranglers at all ...... also a couple of fairly recent albums were corkers- Norfolk Coast and Suite Xvi so far from a spent force even now .
I was there, and it was a great night (neither the first nor the last). It was a privilege to follow The Stranglers for over 40 years, but it's done now.
Saw them in brum on the the 16/03/19 absolutely crap rushed through the set performed mostly new material missing out on most of there hits one hour fourty minutes including the encore there gigs are getting shorter each time stranglers you have sold out to your fans sadly
Awful, obviously you never saw a Stranglers show back in the day JJ needs to realize once and for all this "incarceration" will never really be the Band just a really ok cover band . Its painful for real SIS folks to listen to
John Vetter I have loved The Stranglers since I was 14 , 41 years ago so did see them live many times with Hugh - There have been highs and lows during this time but I used to play Bass guitar in a punk band in my late teens so it was JJ who was the main attraction for me and I still love his bass sound/ playing today and thankful I have still been able to see him play for all these years :)
Thumbs up if you are binge-watching UA-cam videos featuring The Stranglers in memory of Dave Greenfield. 🎹🎼🐺
Yep, for sure
Magolomaniac : Great keyboard solo - but aren’t they all? Not an average or indifferent one amongst them. Dave Greenfield was an amazing talent.
I kinda bailed out on the Stranglers after 'Dreamtime ' ...seeing this i think ,should have stuck around.
Totally!

The Stranglers were the first group I was ever into, Rattus my first album, Dave thanks for the music, the gigs, the memories. Rip
Got my Rattus from a Woolworth's bargain bucket. Great value!
I got into them listening to Curfew on the Black and White album
The Stranglers musically were my 1st love.... & still are. But whenever l see Dave play live, especially with Jet l always feel sad & nostalgic 😢. Most underrated & long serving & impressive British band - EVER!

I bought No More Hero's when I was 15, in a Hereford music shop. Still one if my favourites.
One of the top bands to come out of this country ...Class act
Stranglers were always my favourites from that era.
Brilliant

Such a phenomenal gig
its like seeing a band up the pub.
The summer of 1977💥
Always value for money and give 100% one of the best
Στην λευκη με αγαπη αλεξανδρος 1991 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I was there, brilliant, not sure if this Novembers gig will go ahead tho
Me too! also got tickets for November, shame it's going to be their last.
Seen them 3 times, and I am glad I did, as HC left (1990), DG RIP. I wonder if there will be a Farewell tour?
a superb gig at g live 2018 will live in memory baz usual cutting comments exspecially to welshman and people up stairs very funny because he can
Somewhere in the mosh pit, slightly bald on the crown of the head, not fit enough to pogo for long and my goodness how I enjoyed this gig.
Watched this great band late 70s ..early 80s ..when Hugh left ..never the same ..moved.on
And yet you’re still here….hmmmm
So F’n Great!!!
very hard to watch - with the visuals they were experimenting with at the time . Still changed my outlook on life . Music and news - that we never had acess to - in the 70,s - of course love my post Stranglers excistance . There is no other
Stranglers the best!!!
Baz's joke about the Australian Cricket team during 'Peaches' was quite apt...
Saw the real Stranglers with Hugh & Jet at Hammy Odeon years back.
I saw the original band in 1980/1 at Hammersmith Odeon and The Rainbow
R.I.P Sir.
hopes they knock the crowd's socks off at Punk Rock Bowling in Vegas in May, 2019!
I was hoping they would do more US dates,,,,
@@rc-my9tc : Me too, but this time they're only doing Vegas & LA... :(
I hope they carry on but how can you replace Dave Greenfield?this is a big loss for everybody connected to the stranglers.I had planned to see them play Belfast on 30th May which will now not happen off course.it is just over one week now since we have lost Dave and I'm still gutted and still feeling very sad.his music will live forever.thankyou so much Dave for the memories and the wonderful music.RIP my friend.never forgotten.💔💕
I dunno, seems a shame they carried on without Cornwell. Now it really is the time to call it a day
They always said they'd stop when Jet died, but obviously he's still here but surely they will call it a day? I mean they might do a memorial gig with guest keyboardist but how do you replace Dave permanently? No, a couple of memorial gigs then retire the band
What a fucking song
So is this the first time back in Guildford after the Crackerjack Pencil escapade ? Lol.
Just how good was Dave?
RIP Dave
Just don't ask them to lip-sync
Whatever happened to The Stranglers?
thats how they always open no more heroes ????????????????? What am I missing here ?
Look at the camera vibrating when JJ whacks the bass with his fist. It doesn't come across on this video because the acoustics aren't good enough, but in the hall the vibrations rattled your bones. You had to be there to experience it.
That this is the END of the gig
Who’s the drummer
Jim macaulay
Ace gig ace band ace town X
Warne clown, last Hugh, rip Dave and love them all
What's the name of the first song?
Go Buddy Go
@@NigelEva1502 lmao ......they only sang it like 15 times . hahaha..
Who is this band?
The Beatles.
well, I've never heard jj do the intro to no more heroes right live. Makes me wonder whether he really played that bass intro on the album version...
Oh Dave 😞
They could not replace Hugh Cornwell, now that Dave Greenfield has gone, that for me is the end of the stranglers, as a band, until Hugh decides to step in, even then be hard without Dave.
dave…...great punk some bloke!!
why not.. have a cup of tea when playing some bach

get Hugh back asap

Good, but Hugh was the stranglers
The problem is. There is no Hugh

Nothing like they were!!!

@@jon62punk They still rock...Glasgow 2019 Pure class....Hugh who???
Seen it done better than that!!!
Yes. Thought Baz sounded awful.
Very good. I like it. But I'm sorry...no Cornwell, no Stranglers
Too late. No ice cream van, no Stranglers.
Terrible, not worthy of such a great band.
I was there, and it was a great night (neither the first nor the last). It was a privilege to follow The Stranglers for over 40 years, but it's done now.

@Stephen Roche The band are getting old and tired. Things could be worse Paul Roberts could still be in the band.
"Mostly new material"? They played FOUR new songs out of about 26.
@@Wyngardian It's mostly new material to anyone who gave up in 1980 ;-)
Awful, obviously you never saw a Stranglers show back in the day
JJ needs to realize once and for all this "incarceration" will never really be the Band just a really ok cover band . Its painful for real SIS folks to listen to
