The show was on 5.30 - 7pm Friday, and then repeated on Sunday afternoon. I would take my portable TV into the bathroom and watch it getting ready to go out on Friday night, taking notes of the best videos/performances to tape off the telly on the Sunday. It was the first TV Music show that ran for more than half an hour and as such was a feast comparably. God I’m old…..
Absolutely amazing, I know I was only born in 1992 and wasn't around when this was on tv but it's never too late to sit down and have a catch up and go through these tv shows like the tube, it's still relevant to me cause I love music from that era and people like you uploading old episodes of the tube gives me a chance to watch it that ive never seen it before, only seen it on guy garveys the vault on sky arts on fridays
Thanks for posting. The channel ScottishTeeVee posted every episode from every season of The Tube at one point but was forced to take them down. No doubt this will also see the same fate before too long, but good on you for posting anyway! I grew up in the states and we had nothing as amazing as the tube on tv. We had MTV but they didn’t have the commitment to showing LIVE bands that the tube did. Watching Killing Joke live for the first time melted my face off it was so friggin awesome! The UK has a much better understanding and respect for pop culture. They celebrate it but at the same time don’t get too carried away. I absolutely adore programs like The Tube and would give anything to have access to the entire archive that ScottishTeeVee had/has. When he had every episode posted, I literally was watching for days on end; always had it going in the background. And I was BLOWN AWAY by the incredibly diverse roster of acts like: Killing Joke, Chaka Khan, Yazoo, Lords of the New Church, Siouxsie and the Banshees w Robert Smith on guitar (!!!) to name a few! Hell even Spandau (barf) Ballet put on a decent show. So cool! Thanks again for posting and post MORE of ya got em!
Strange Days were a British band based in York during the 1980s. Formerly known as The Sirens under which name they released one single: "Crusade" - B-side: "Close to Tears" - on their own label. A change of name to Strange Days saw them signed to local record label Powerstation Records, releasing the single "Within These Walls" with the b-side "Swimming Into The Doctor" in the mid-1980s. They appeared on Channel 4's music show The Tube in 1982 performing their self-penned 1980s anthem "Scream in Vain".
strange Days thought they were going to be the next Bunnymen. Still find the summers and fripp coloboration nuts, Channel 4 was so edgy and exciting in the early days
I remember my guitar teachers band were on The Tube...I was 13 and couldn't believe someone I knew was going to be on telly. Wish I could remember their name...
So very long ago. 42 years. I watched many episodes on broadcast. I found it variable: some of the music was thrilling, the presenters were funny and amiable, most of the 'comedy' was embarrassingly naff.
@@oddsandwindsocks5905 It was definitely just after school. I checked the online Television and Radio database and it lists it starting at 5:15pm and ending for the news at 7pm on Friday 5th November 1982. Channel 4 started service on the 2nd November 1982.
And to think that The Bangles would eventually record at least THREE of THE iconic hits of the 80s! "Manic Monday", "Walk Like An Egyptian" & "Eternal Flame!" I their "Different Light" lp!
This show was recorded at Riverside Studios just by Hammersmith Bridge where the Sex Pistols rehearsed in 1974-1975 when they were still called The Swankers and Steve Jones was still their singer and before they found Johnny Rotten...Now demolished and replaced by expensive flats....Same as most of London.
As a german, the fact that literally everybody displays such a harsh sense of humour is quite delightful. Wouldn’t have happened in a German TV show in 1982…or in 2022. What is in your water?
It was the 'Record Mirror' not NME, very different, far less esteemed. Being a 'hack' doesn't actually qualify someone to be a presenter? She was in Penthouse too, does that count? 😆 Jools was a musician *AND* a great presenter
It's hard to believe how good the Tube was, time goes by so fast, what a great time to be alive in the analogue 80,s.
Analogue as in tons of synthesizers? OK, I got it.
CD's aren't analogue.
@@chrissygerwitz520 Most synthesizers in the 80's were digital.
@@sandgrownun66 Of course. Some of the comments on YT (like the OP's) boggle the mind.
Good? It was a pile of middle class crap trying to feign rebellion and controversy. Mainstream media tripe.
I was 18 and used to watch it religiously! Better music, better days indeed.

Great days. I wish it was 1982 again.
So do I. I was in the middle of puberty. A period of my life I absolutely excelled at 🤣🤣🤣
I used to watch this every week. Great memories.
How fabulous. These full episodes of The Tube are lifesavers!
This was a great programme. A must every Friday night.
Really enjoyed Jools Holland as a presenter, he's still very good at it now.
Cannot understand why they don't replay these episodes of the tube
But they replay EastEnders and Coronation street ??
Situation love from Yazoo is EVERYTHING, WOW!
Can´t believe this was 40 years ago, how time flies.
Tempus Fugit as the Romans would say.
I wish The Tube had been broadcasted in the States. We missed out on so much.
This is by far the best 1:32:50 of TV I've watched in ages. They cover so much!
I really must the honesty of the 1980s , we need that back but somehow, I doubt it
Ah!! The 80s how simple how easy was that ,I miss those days ,no phones no internet but happy as could be
We had less,but we had so much more.
So much more ,and probably didn't realise
Andy Sumner's and Fripp on guitars
Reminds me of the duelling banjo’s anyone else?

Bullshit. We had plenty of that, just before your time. Midnight Special, Don Kirchner's Rock Show. Look for them
Jools recently said on his social media if anyone had the link for the tube, this brings back so many memories. Hope it won’t be deleted.
I had such a crush on Belinda Carlisle. Also a rare live set from the magnificent Yazoo. Brilliant 👏
Interesting to see The Bangles as veritable nobodies who would eventually become as popular as (if not more than) The Go Gos.
I was 21, one of the best programmes at that time.
The 80's were the best time to be young and alive 🥳🎉🎈🍾
I'm so grateful
The Go-Gos were so amazing & ahead of their time
hahaha,no!
Remember so well, filmed 13 miles from my home town!
Alison Moyet is fabulous here.
They look like some art school project
So young and So talented
Synthpop bores.

Okay mate,just admit you were a member of the band and this was your 15 minutes of fame lololol
Dear god how absolutely fantastic is Alf here… yazoo fan for life.
strange Days thought they were going to be the next Bunnymen. Still find the summers and fripp coloboration nuts, Channel 4 was so edgy and exciting in the early days
And they disappeared after this broadcast and were never seen again .
OMG Eric Burdon is beautiful. Loved seeing him and alison Moyet singing!!
I remember my guitar teachers band were on The Tube...I was 13 and couldn't believe someone I knew was going to be on telly. Wish I could remember their name...
A serious blast from the past.
Youth culture was very optimistic in the early 80s despite the fact the economy, unemployment, etc, were in a terrible state.
@@ajs41 Compared to the 2020s the 1980s were Heavenly.
God. I’d forgotten about the Tube. Thanks for posting
The early days of the wireless microphone........when Jools is walking along at the start, the old VHF drop outs in signal
OMGOOODNESS - In My Room from Yazoo. This is all toooo FAB!
Yazoo, fantastic 👍🏆🇬🇧

Maisonettes classic tune!
The Tube was a groundbreaking show looking back.
So great to see the Go-Gos 40 years ago.
Those two girls dressed in a 1960s style doing backing vocals for The Maisonettes look so sexy,I hope that fashion comes back one day.
Strange Days song is awesome. never Heard it before
They never made it did they, No one heard of them again after this
Everyone trying to be too cool and just coming across really awkward.
Quaintly of its era. :D
vince clarke went on to depeche mode and the assembly and then got massive with ERASURE they are still together touring nearly 40 years later
A youthful Dickie Davies at the start there.....
The Tube was so damn good.
Was that Strange days singer Curt from Tears for Fears, Curt Smith ?.
Fantastic to see this
Coming home from school on a Friday and watching this at 5:30pm was nuts!
I thought it was on later near 11pm .

@@172Break ok fair point , I'm 53 I must of been thinking of another show like this .
Can't believe all these people are now in their 60s.
Andy Summers is 80
A great show indeed
And to think that The Bangles would eventually record at least THREE of THE iconic hits of the 80s! "Manic Monday", "Walk Like An Egyptian" & "Eternal Flame!" I their "Different Light" lp!
God I was 12 back then and the Tube was out of this world..with posers as presenters and great alternative Bands ..far cooler that TOTPS
A real honesty , it was theshow of new channel 4 At time
..great to see alf moyet ......
What a time to be alive!
Worth it just for Alf and Eric Burdon.....
I would say Chris Evans copied this show when he made TFI Friday later on.
Fripp and Summers were brilliant.

I didn’t know peter sutcliffecould sing
Check out Sutcliffe: The Musical. There's a news item on UA-cam. He was quite the performer. A shame he blotted his copybook.

Brought up on pure sarcasm from an early age!
*[Note: The video for "Night Boat" by Duran Duran has been removed due to copyright].*
The Bangles look very goofy and nerdy, which is very appealing tbh
That Mark guy doing the rigmarole…unreal
Mark Miwurdz
Jools unplugging Andy Summer's guitar mid playing = funny
Top Show.
I had a life then!
Good work. Do you possibly have the Tube episode featuring the Pat Metheny Group doing 'Are you going with me' ? Been looking for ages....
anyone knows the name of that body builder?
The young girl from stranger things (think it’s Bobbi brown )would play a very good Paula Yates..
is that Lorraine Kelly at 1.12??
Did you see last week. They had The Jam on.
The bangles. Wow
Jools and Paula ❤❤❤
Im here 4 the jeff beck intro
I'll never know how Paula Yates got the job
She was a music journalist for NME. Who else do you suggest?
It was the 'Record Mirror' not NME, very different, far less esteemed.
Being a 'hack' doesn't actually qualify someone to be a presenter? She was in Penthouse too, does that count? 😆
Jools was a musician *AND* a great presenter
She was the town bike so she probably blew someone important in TV.
Cos she was brilliant and looked ace.
My sister bought the maisonettes single.
Paula Yates owned the 1980s
Hardly.
Is Moyet miming or did she sing this live?
❤️❤️❤️❤️
A 1950 Police car in LA is winning friends unless it's a feature film.....
Was that Mark my words doing the poetry at the end ?
Everyone looks so bored! haha
oh yes 22 had me firdt kid
Geldof puts the wife to work 'cos no one except Roger Waters likes him.
Vince has two microphones and nio duties at all.
Andy Summers with Robert Fripp, paid girls dancing on it, weird!
Keep thinking it's Freddie Mercury in The Bangles
Jools Holland?
I wonder what happened to Mark Miwurdz.
Spunk
The first time I laid eyes on Paula Yates, I knew she was a goner. Sad.
Holy disinterested audiences Batman
Paula Yates- as interesting as an ice water enema.
Great guests performances but... Adlib by the hosts is awful, first part of House of the Rising Sun was edited out, random videos
and heres paula r i p
tune animals
Fripp & Summers OK the tube had its downside as well, but most of it was good.
Compare this to blummin x factor bs
