my mum had dementia and her housewas very quiet with a tv she forgot how to work every morning. and she was a wealthy widow. i bought stranglers albums in the 70s and 80s so have this. never thought it would mean so much over 35 years later.
One of my favourite Stranglers songs,always my fav band ever since the age of 12..51 now,great raw passionate rendition,one of the best live performances vids I've ever seen,cheers to whoever downloaded it..think I'll watch it again now..yaay!
Just loved duchess, I was 15 when it came out. Absolutely brilliant but just who or what were the Rodney's, I heard one explanation but it sounded like a stab in the dark totally unbelievable and equally forgettable. Something that this track is or was not. Sound at live concert was totally amazing. 👌👌👌👏
this one of their very best songs - signature "meninblack"-also the lyrics. Stranglers is more than a band, they are a point of view!! i love them really very much
This is a great recording and fantastic , tight performance from the band. It takes me back to seeing them play this live many times. They used to play it often at the end of their set or for an encore , wonderful stuff !!
Hugh cornwell & ladies & a pint.... Paul Rogers no slouch either... My questions toward the Baz Werne Era... Peter Hammill sham69/Nik Turner prison benefit CD i got... From 1986?
@svartfett i do not think this is really a band for fifteens like "i fought the law" - clash etc. stranglers are just one of the bands like floyd who dared to say the unsayable, for which music is the best vehicle
The keyboard player was a genius.
One of the best songs I've ever heard.
R.I.P Dave Greenfield.

Pops up on radio Caroline. Always good to hear. Dave Greenfield excellent on additional vocals

Best Stranglers song for me!
And mine
what about 'Golden brown' 'Nice
\sleazy' :-) ?
Its the Harpsichord sound of the keyboards, no one else thought of using it, made them so distinctive.
I always loved that song,very melodic and punky..that's a brilliant punk type version..as ever just wishing I was at that gig now
It has such elegiac power; chill inducing!
That bass line
Bass line is devastating; like a punk Entwistle.

Jet Black's style is very similar to New Orders Stephen Morris

Stunning, bless them for keeping going but Baz can't get near this, sorry, but it's true
Baz is a stand in no more than that.
If you tolerate this then your children will be next.
Yep, manic street preachers ripped this song off

MoveOverCasanova to be honest even do I love the clash with all
Y heart the stranglers will butcher em 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Aàaaaagh! I hate those Rodneys
God forbid
It’s roadies not rodneys...
@@ShadSimm no its definitely Rodneys
It means the guys of the lower class in general.
too fast in comparism to the studio version. This song lives from it´s march beat.

Why have you commented this 3000 times?
@@BLADE_RISEI think he is referring to the stranglers being all middle class despite punk rock in Britain being a mainly working class movement.
