They are bloody good! Powerful vocals from Andy McCluskey and beautiful synths from Paul Humphries! They made so many songs that brought tears to the eyes!
McCluskey certainly gives a great performance here. He doesn't even mind if his voice slips a couple of times. This is an extraordinary live clip anno 1981.
From the moment he already goes one octave up in the first verse, you know he’s going into full Andy mode and there’s no limit from there, I’ll always ADORE this performance !
@@forestfire1232 Crikey cant remember Was UEA though in Norwich ..And they looked very nervous as close to the crowd ..it was either my first or second concert the other being Bauhaus .. I do remember them going off to Enola Gay and before coming back on they left the drum machine to it running which went in and on ...that famous beat ..All memory allows I'm afraid..
this song was my first taste of OMD , it was on an early 80's compilation - wish i could remember the name of the album , but i remember i was mesmerized with this song
Give them to me!!! Lol I had a rear 7" single of Electricty and the album "Street To Street: A Liverpool Album" On it is Julia's Song by The ID......before they became OMD 👌
Does anyone ever got the second and number twelve songs from this 1981 concert? It is Mysteriality and She's Leaving ..anybody's planning to put them online?

No auto-tune, absolutely amazing! Almost Gospely!
That goofy dancing was his tradmark, great to see him enjoying himself while performing.
Fang teeth

If anyone wants lessons on how to dance with a bass guitar while playing...watch this video! Tremendous!
Powerful performance, powerful line "She shouldn't oughta promise cuz it's just pretend."
My early twenties days loved this song till today 2023
He's still doing that dance to this very day. Good ole OMD!
JRHartly1984 and now even
I love that goofy dancing. They sound awesome live. This song is one of their best...

Mckluskey giving 110%
Wrote it
Sings it
Plays it
Feels it
Dances it
Say no more.

@@leewilliams2763 bono ain't a patch on andy mccluskey .....its worth the admission watching him dancing ...
@@leewilliams2763 lmao comparing andy to that stick is bloody hilarious
Damn that beat at 50 seconds, could be twenty years later. A revolution in sound ! Thanks OMD.
Absolutely!!!
Joan of Arc; greatest Saint in Heaven!!; I saw OMD play this song in the mid 1980s; such nostalgia! :)
This for me was their best... greater than the sum of its parts as it were.
Simply superb.
You are ABSOLUTELY right!!!!
What a band! Their influence on current music is enormous.
Andy McCluskey-what a singer! He sounds inspired, in rapture. The band are in a special groove too.
Brilliant impassioned live performance that tops the original recording. Wish I'd been there.
What a great band.....took Electronica to great levels....EPIC
One of my favourate songs. Ever
Looove it when Andy Screams!!!!!
Brilliant musicians and what a singer
A case of can't sing live

The fury of 79 with the perfection of pop melodic

transcends you to heaven and back
this song was my first taste of OMD , it was on an early 80's compilation - wish i could remember the name of the album , but i remember i was mesmerized with this song
I keep coming back to this video - just love it. Can't believe it was 43 years ago!
Thank you, Andy, for this unforgettable performance...
Wow 👏
Just brilliant
One word.....AWESOME!
A favourite of my close buddy .. ultimately every Orchie can relate .. and hope adore .
OMD's Joan of Arc- the live "Angry" version!
Wow, thanks for the post. Great live performance of a stunning song.
Quelle performance, sublime McCluskey, et quel morceau !
Goosebumpy!
This was my first favourite radio song
Yes, they sounds great live! Really, outstanding band!
as a smiths and moz/marr fan i sympathise with their point about multi-syllable (sp!?) band names etc but my god you cant deny this is a classic
trop fort. impressionnant .génial. ça prend aux tripes. trop bon
I loved OMD and sad to say their original albums are sitting in my loft! SACRILEGE
Give them to me!!! Lol
I had a rear 7" single of Electricty and the album "Street To Street: A Liverpool Album" On it is Julia's Song by The ID......before they became OMD 👌

fab vid my older brother is still a fan
Classic bowie. Uneasy and accessible at the same time. I think. ❤

Great live performance!!! Voice sounds like the album version and well... tape recordings are tape recordings... :)
❤The drummer ~> AMAZING!❤

Typical self-expression-80's-dancing 😉
I miss these days
Yes of course, I miss these days too !!!
@@LaureenPatronLand-Luft-uWasser
Waren geile Zeiten damals. Bin froh, dass ich da meine Jugend erleben durfte
Enola Gay was magical at this live concert 🎵 ❤
God bless Joan x.
Geniales!
Wow thank you!
Still Cutting through the crap. Excellent. ❤
Without me👫❤👀
via la france we are with u
Great
omd 4ever.
I was at the gig. I wanted to get backsnage so I heard Andy like rabbits so I took rabbit and the green bidet. They wouldn't let me backsnage.
.......
Why didn't you just go backsTage?
Kocham Ich !!
Does anyone ever got the second and number twelve songs from this 1981 concert? It is Mysteriality and She's Leaving ..anybody's planning to put them online?
increible ble ble
This is a best Version of compensation.
When all say that he is gay, he tried to be a rock and roller.
Most Britains are gay, I guess. So don't worry. :)
@@bertthebird2341 are you sure he’s gay
✨✨✨✨🌟🌟🌟👌💚
no cóż cięż ko znalezc teraz takie kapele
il est possedé !!!
Has he got his bass strung upside down?
And don't forget ERIC.....if you know, you know! 😎
Andy:"This is for the religiously-minded amongst us".
Man: "No way"!
Andy: "Or not..."
And what is that guy saying after that??
Should have known better than to give her away
Without Me ....
Brilliant. But I doubt very much if that guitar is plugged in. How could he play it properly dancing like that.
It is plugged in trust me. It’s OMD style. He’s playing root notes.
The song is great. I hate the added speed of this version. It makes the performance sound like a parody of the song.
Arska777999 I agree but it's something different. The lead singer is definitely crazy (in a good way LOL).
Do not mess with Enola Gay......
otwarte a nie pirdodly zycie samo pokazuje jak jest cos nie tak
He lost it a bit...
Well it is a very emotional song
SHOULD OF KNOWN BETTER...
