If there was one thing I could do in my life it would be to tell Stuart, Tony, etc what a great album this is. It I will live with me forever 👍
Mark on the drums, what a legend. I bought a china cymbal when I was 15 just to sound like him.
One of the finest live acts.adamson musical genius !
These early songs. All of them marvellous.
Come to think of it. All the later songs were marvellous as well.
That's true
Steeltown. Great album.

Best live act I ever saw
What a band, I saw them live quite a few times , but they played the Tube twice and I still think they were their best performances ever , 35 years later and I still remember everything about it . And what a show , the Tube on a Friday evening was brilliant .Even if they tried to make it again, it would be crap with the bands around now !!!
What a find ! Brilliant ! Am feeling slightly old...I remember this when it originally aired. Friday evenings Channel 4 5.30 to 7pm.
What a mind blast !
Was lucky enough to see them live many times from Dec 84 through to 2000.
Best live band there was in my opinion.
And if you missed it commuting home or having yer tea, it was repeated later that night too.
the most powerful band ever. wow. what a song. so much emotion.
This is my favourite album. Rest in peace Stuart. Hope to meet you on the other side.❤
Such an awesome band, both live and in the studio. AMAZING 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🎸
OOOOOFT!! Take that ! And it's live. Such fabulous musicians.
One of the top 5 albums in last 50 years....incredible...yet no one knows about it.......every song just cranks...on to the next one..etc..etc....screw the critics...this one is just sublime!
I just wonder if any of these people really understood what a privilege they were experiencing in seeing these masters completely turn rock and roll on its head with deeply poetic and introspective lyrics and killer drums, guitar, and bass?
I miss Stuart every day. I wish I could go back in time and cross the pond and see this show.
A Very GREAT band and a Very great loss!!!
WTF . . . I mean what the fuck are you saying ? . . . "a Very great loss" !!! NO ONE LOST anything, it was a gain for everyone. You're saying things about: 1. someone who is not here, 2.someone you didn't know deep enough to say anything about, 3. something you wouldn't have said to his face, 4. about your own selfish perspective. Think what you like . . . BUT you don't get to say whatever you like. I suppose you meant well but that's incredibly arrogant and misguided. Think about it . . . if you could change a person, or somehow change events (TIME) then that person wouldn't be the one they were. It would screw things up all around. The only way to accept a person is exactly the way they are . . . not how you want things to be. I think you owe a apology for such a statement, not to me, to the world.

Thanks for uploading this - what a great album - Stuart RIP - what a legend
Fkin legendary team😢
One of the finest songs about working class communities and deindustrialisation ever written. Such a hugely underrated band
Not sure they were underrated mate. They were pretty big in the day.
@@Neil2022 Id never heard of them till recently except that one song of their name, which I didnt know their band name, and I am very big into rock. It was a treasure to discover all of this. I was born too late to really see them. I think they are underrated compared to many bands people know that werent as good. Solid bangers on so many tunes.
Superb
Pity the music critics didn't treat Steeltown as a musical genius.
Fantastic song written mainly about Corby Steelworks where thousands of Scottish folk moved there to start a new life....enter thatcher who closed Corby down.
British Steel announces it was closing in 1979, the factory was very uncompetitive, that's what happens when something is Nationalised
@@robinstreets1792 In the Tory white paper of 1973 (of which I have a copy) on the future of British Steel it quite clearly states by the end of the decade Corby steelworks will close with the loss of 6500 jobs they knew what they were doing.
Love it.
Great. One of my favorite BC songs. TBH I get worried when I click on one of these 80s TV performances, so often it was lip sync! This was cool thanks for the post
Making history
My love Stu
Steeltown is a desert island disc.
Willie Nelson has never been more proud!
Their finest with Damascus next
Vine luego de ver el video de "Superman" Troglio
Everybody thought....
The reason this generation is so angry is because their music sucks!!!! Bring back the 80s!!!!!
Agreed, at last back then we had people singing about what mattered to us
