This guy was fucking brilliant and I don't care what anyone says. First of all, no human being should be that good looking. Second, rhythmically his stuff was amazing. Stage presence, charisma, songwriting, hooks. Adam has it all. Yep, I've had a mancrush on this guy for a LOOONG time...
It's all rather silly but DAMN does it kick ass.
Guy Fawkes Adam and the Ants were Brilliant, a sound like no other... so glad I was growing up when he burst on the scene, Even now his music sound fresh , Adam is a true talent !
You ever listen to his Song Wonderful, would have to be my all time favourite Song ever, totally amazing Song
Adam must have gotten quality pussy left, right and center constantly. Immensely talented, charismatic and good-looking. Also saw Adam this year and he still looks great and puts on a show. Seeing him again in September, there's nothing like an Adam show!
Steven Fallon he probably did get a lot of pussy back then
amen!
I always loved the two drumkits sound - it rolls like thunder!
Adam Ant........ one of the most handsome man I have ever seen! 😘
Most!🔥🥰😋
Are you bed-ridden?
Very... and Barry is jelly af
@@oakmaiden2133 Utter crap. He didn't have groups of girls around him at school, or get wolf-whistled by schoolgirls walking to work, like I did. I was stunning.
@@oakmaiden2133 I met Adam Ant in 1978/79, signing records at HMV Records in Exeter. He wasn't ugly, but he wasn't great looking either. Shorter than I thought too.
The set has some really heavy animal magnetism. Adam is radiating pheromones all over the audience...I could feel it all the way over into 2021.
🔥😋🥰
Seriously! How sexy is he?!?
I’d do ANYTHING to go back in time and be at that concert 😫
Me too!🔥💃🥰
Same!!! I remember the year MTV started, that same summer Nickelodeon of all networks had an Adam and the Ants concert!!! A large set piece was a pirate ship! Bloody awesomeness!!!
He still performs. Saw him a couple years ago in Las Vegas. Uses the dual drummers, really good show.
Wish I could had seen him on the Prince charming revue tour
Live is better than recordings!!! His voice was great.
Absolutely 💯 %!😮
His voice is still great. Saw him in April and he sound fandamntastic ❤
He clearly had his mojo working. I mean, that kind of frontman delivers a comunicación to the public that improves any recorded material.

Superb ta 👌👌
What a great band, and what a great time, love it🎸🎸🎸😆😎
Wwow
That was a great show. They play well and Adam sang beautifully besides being absolutely gorgeous and sexy 😀
Top form here!
Listen to that band!!
Adam sounding and looking amazing!!
Amazing songs!! Legendary!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jack Sparrow came directly from Adam Ant. Great music, beautiful man, amazing stage presence.
He's singing live and sounds as great as his video.
he does, the guitar is waaaaaaaaaaaay to low in the mix though
@@KABModels It's a band with two drummers, space has to be made. Also Gary was a very funky bassist.
@@KABModels Nit-picking.
better
The last great pop star this country produced in my opinion. Adam Ant had everything.. Great songs, great vids, amazing live shows, sex appeal, star quality, you name it..
...he's still GOT IT!👍😊
I can hear a lit of PIL in rhe music. Both bands were tight and accented certain parts of the music. Marco and John McGeogh have great guitar styles. Good stuff.
A couple of things you forgot on the list... stunted growth and mental health issues.
@@barrymitchell6444what a crass and stupid thing to say ✊ 💦
We’ve ALl got mental health issues @sshole
Oh My God. If that's not thee Perfect male form, then i'm not human!
Yes....but also...
YOUNG PETE BURNS!
Yes! And his packaging was top. Why can't we have more dandies? We need more dandies!
Anatomy and bone structure just perfect. Talented, artistic, witty stylish, articulate and clever he's got it all.
@@dorisday5871 Totally yes!🔥🥰
Adam and the ants were the best,most exciting band of the 80's hands down in my opinion
Woe just Antarnish
Oingo boingo
@@GodWeenSatan NAH
Duran Duran
@@GodWeenSatan nope. Ants!
The king of the wild frontier was really something back in the day.
Still is.
still is bitch
yeh, apparently he's one of the few who havent degraded with age.
Turn up to full volume at start WHAT A DRUM BEAT !!!!!!!!
My favourite that song 🎵
I always flashback to Adam when I see "Pirates..." and think where Depp got his inspiration! I loved this guy and his band!
yeaah and the same cross near right eye (in another video)
and also, this, he remind me Freddie Mercury
Absolutely xxx
Was just thinking that lol 😆
Johnny has said that Keith Richards was the inspiration being the character of Jack Sparrow.
@@jayalan2223 True, but Keith never dressed like this on stage or in public. Mannerisms? Maybe! Dress and character? Not that energy!
first album i ever bought...and i still listen to it all the time. those double drums started my love of all things bass. tracks like 'killer in the home' and 'ants invasion' started my love of all things dark. music saved and saves my life every day. adam ant started that. thank you adam and the ants.
My first album too. I bought it in Pathmark supermarket with Christmas money
Only music can do that 🖒
日本人なら「日本の太鼓のリズムだ」と、すぐにわかります。って、日本語で返信してどーするw。
this post took the words (word for word) right from my mouth...those two songs are on the darker side..love them!
Yess! Love him still after all this years🥰🎶🎵💃😋🔥🥰
Seriously one of the greatest bands ever that define the 80s!!! 👍
along with Bow Wow Wow too.
this may not be a fashionable opinion....but they WERE a great live band (unlike, say, the pistols). those drums used to hit you in the chest. and they could all really play.
Agreed 100%..growing up as a musician (bassist) I cited Adam/Ants as a huge influence sonically..Adan's a beast & his bandmates were no slouches..a lot of talent there
I agree with both of you.....💋
His current band is amazing as well. Those drums!
Totally phenomenal live band..great songs..
@@SuperLulu212 Fucking idiot.
Damn this guy burns some calories on stage
A lot of the energy came from a bi polar mania, read his book, it explains a lot.
+F.D McIntyre Oh I had no idea. Thanks for the insight!!
bipolar makes him more hyper
miraeja ohh yeah
check out the ants "Live Aide" performance, such amazing energy-too bad the bob geldolf was a dick and only gave them 1 damn song!
Went to see Adam and the ants last night in Nottingham they were still rocking all night friend and foe album and many more earlier hits What a great show 👍 And ye I was lucky to see them in 1981 cant remember much of that but I was there 😀
Never ever heard them live. I thought maybe the records were over produced and they'd never recreate the sound live. WRONG! This is fantastic.
It's fantastic but it's also heavily overdubbed. There's plenty of bootlegs out there that prove that recreating their studio sound live wasn't an easy thing to do.
@@ajo3085 rubbish - there are indeed plenty of bootlegs of the 1981 Ants out there but this is exactly the same as they sound. Only difference between March 1981 Dominion Theatre London, Sept 81 Pier 84 New York and this is volume levels and the overall clarity of having been professionally mastered for release.
Both versions of the Ants were ferociously powerful live bands (Dirk album was hideously UNDERproduced, you have to hear good copies of the Decca stuff to get a good studio capture of the Matthew Ashman Ants vibe.)
@@kurtvanderbogarde8402 Lewisham Odeon 80, LA & Koln 81 are 3 of the bootlegs on youtube. If you can't hear the difference in Adam's vocals, the drop outs due to his dancing/movement away from the mic, missed cues, bum notes and flat vocals (all totally reasonable in a high energy performance btw) compared to the overdubbed Tokyo and Dominion Theatre gigs, you shouldn't be commenting.
@@ajo3085 Lewisham 80 The Idea's audio was replaced with the Lyceum version of the song from the same tour, the original audio which you can hear on Slapdash Eden's channel has a buzzing noise all over it.
I'm not on about the PC Revue which had backing vocalists Russell Stone and Simon Bell on it (compare that one to Brighton 28th Dec) I'm on about the March 27th '81 gig on the Stand And Deliver tour, Gary Tibbs' London debut.
Saw him in Torquay Xmas 2019,,,and wasn't expecting that much tbh, as had seen him live with my baby sitter back in the early 80s in his pomp, but was pleasantly surprised by how good a show he still puts on, he must of been on stage for 2 and a half hours and sang 20 plus songs, which is a lot longer/more than any other younger bands/performers who I have seen live recently 👌 Legend 😎
With the baby sitter Eh1 ....nudge nudge 😉
He's from the era that still gave great live music and vocals and value for money 👍🏻 unlike the dubbed computerised crap of today where 50 I Tune downloads gets a number 1 👎🏻
@@canadianbacon1088 Left the baby at home 👶🍼
Lol, it's Jan((pronounced Yan) of Danish descent, and the last time i looked i was definitely not a woman 😂and i was the baby(well 10) who went with his babysitter back in the 80s 😂😂
@@janlilley71 Sorry. I deleted my comment. "Jan" can be European male (John) or British female. At least we all understand now!!! Are you still in Devon? I'm in Exmouth.
Fantastic to watch, can't thank you enough for uploading it. Adam Ant is one of my all time favourite performers and his band were brilliant. Double drums, driving beat, great lyrics, excellent guitars, unique sound, sexy front man.
Love him
Saw him so many times
I want the 80s back now
I just came across this video. Thank you so much for sharing. I have loved Adam Ant since I was 15. I was a youngster in high school. Others thought I was weird for liking him but I still think he is way more intelligent than people give him credit for. Brilliant Mind = Brilliant Music
Michele Baker great concert! Stuck in the house during Covid 19 cleaning with the wife while listening! We both enjoyed it!
Me too ✋ brilliant memories
I know the feeling. I was hated in high school for liking him.
Right there with you!!!!!
Me too🥰
What a great show this band puts on Adam is mesmerising, better than the Justin biebers and one directions we are subjected to today.
Helen Ann ur rite
I agree!!!
Precisely much much more raw talent and individuality. I was 15 when he first made an appearance on BBC top of the pops. Most guys where jealous of him no wonder.
Too right my friend.
The Groupies must have been queuing for miles after this gig!
i loved adam and the ants since i was 12 luv this thx for uploading......
Me too....❤️
@@starlitestarbright514 same here. It may sound odd, but apart from the Prince Charming video, I never saw any video of them back then. So glad UA-cam gives so many people the chance to rediscover it all. And since I got my tube amp and some interesting pedals, I can finally play the exact sound on my guitar too. It is never too late in life to have some fun through music, not ashamed for it AT ALL.
@@arno-luyendijk4798I saw 👀 😳 😍 😭 😐 ❤️ all of Adam Ant 's🐜 🤣 😆 😄 😀 music 🎶 🎵 😀 😳 videos 📹 😀 😳 😄 👏 😉on MTV and later on VH1!We have seen 😀 him 😀 😄 👍 😉 👏 😳 and his 👋 😀 😄 👍 😉 👏 "Dick Clark's American Bandstand "&"Solid Gold " onTV 📺 in the 1970s and! 1980s!
I cant believe how good they are in concert and adam voice hits notes like you wouldnt believe!
Adam and the Ants waren für mich damals wie ein Tsunami . Sie haben mich musikalisch überrollt und mitgerissen .Einfach nur geil !!!
Iris Brüning Damals? Das funktioniert auch heute noch mit dem Tsunami! Ich bin seit einiger Zeit wieder auf dieser Welle, und es ist einfach nur großartig! Aber stimmt, "geil" trifft es viel besser! 🔥🔥🔥
This is awesome! One of the best underrated bands ever! Totally original in sound and concept...saw the Friend or Foe tour with the horn section and that killed as well!
The guy was ahead of his time! STILL brilliant right now!! Major influence in my teen years!!
The same here!😊❤
I always wanted to dress like Adam. Now I'm 55. And I still wanna look like that....now and then.
Ya gotta love how well two drummers works live.
I saw them on the tour previous to this. They were a fine live band who put on a great show. At the time I was dismayed by the pop direction that they headed off in. I drew the line at Stand And Deliver. I've mellowed over the decades and I can appreciate the later stuff. Young fans sometmes make the mistake of thinking that the groups they admire are somehow theirs and that they should produce material to satisfy their wants. Obviously that's not the case. People mature and artistes develop and that's just the way it is. Gary Tibbs is a great bassist who enhanced the band.
Being a recent convert to Adam and the Ants, I regret never seeing any KOTWF concerts in the USA. I was in college and baby sis liked him (via Mtv) so naturally I couldn't. No-one told me how nail-biting killer gorgeous he was or about his B-sides! Definitely not for kids! He knew how to seduce his audience! A music history tragedy that only 2 full length concerts captured his beyond exciting performance! And why does the war paint make him so sexy? His face was so expressive! I'm an addict now!
KOTWF?

I was never able to see Adam live, but a butt-ton of other bands during the 80's... The Ants were always my fav, simply because it was the most complex stuff to hit my ears at the time. Gotta love UA-cam and everyone who brings this to us, keep finding these gems folks, and a sincere thank you for doing so. Oh, and please find more Oingo Boingo, Depeche Mode and Prince live... tks!
Odd glam rock and "complex"... Lets laugh.
I like his music back in 1982 when I was 17.I thought he was a gorgeous looking man.Hes also good actor.Hes songs were great and his style was unique.I liked that he wore makeup not many other male singers wore makeup back in the 1980s.Hes still very handsome today.
He seemed to have unlimited energy, and he shares it with the world.
Fabulous! Drop dead gorgeous too!
❤😂😮😅😊100%!
Damn he was fired up !
love this.been an Adam and the Ants addict for 36 years loud and proud.thank you for sharing x
Yes love him sine 1980 ya soooo sexy
Kings of the Wild Frontier was released when I was 16 and I was HOOKED. The most exciting music and incredible lyrics. 42 years later and still happily listening. He was a sexy MF !! 🥰
Adam was a way underrated singer. He is pitch perfect in this concert😯 is this an post edited show? It sounds maybe too good🤔
Not edited. He was just that good back then. Prince Charming Revue is the same way.
WOW. Absolutely stellar performance. And my god does Marco f*****g tear it up on that guitar of his! Love 'em all. Thanks so much for posting this! Where I live we only got the likes of Journey or REO Speedwagon on tour 🙄
Man, I despised most music that fell under the New Wave heading back then, and now I look (listen) back and regret all the music that I missed. Adam Ant was a damn beast for a while. Great band...what energy.
I'm on the same boat as you Francis, but I think Adam and the Ants might be an exception to the rule. I just saw him recently at the Keswick and wondered how I missed him back in the day, but then remembered my introduction to him was "Goody Two Shoes". He (they) still rock, so go see him next time he's in town and mitigate your regrets.
Francis Khoury totally agree with your comment!
I saw this tour as well. He had a huge band, two singers, and incredible energy. The show was so good I went back the 2nd night.
@@tgun9056 I can totally relate. I had to rely on MTV videos. I remember Goody Two Shoes, but I lived in a rural area where on the radio you'd mostly hear the top New Wave stuff. I didn't know the other songs Adam did other than "Goody Two Shoes" and possibly "Stand & Deliver".
I feel like I'm a "late bloomer" and with the Internet, I am discovering him for the first time! Never too old to learn! 😁😉
Very catchy grab'ya by the you know whats sound.
好きだったなー。でも当時は周りに賛同者がいなくてw。
I'm telling u its like watching Jack Sparrow in concert. Now I know for sure where Johnny Depp got his inspiration from. They even look a-like.
Not heard Adam n the antz since early 80’s n was still able to sing along with all these songs. What a heavily under rated band.
"Not heard Adam n the antz since early 80’s". Why?
OMG so talented AND smokin' hot, the sexiest man of his time💛
great voice live and such sex appeal!
Awesome quality from what i assume is a VHS or BETA rip Shame it's never been issued on dvd or blu-ray
Damn. That guitar solo in Physical is straight smoking.
This is better than the Prince Charming revue...great performance and great lead vocals..
Not better - just a different 'movie' :)
Still in love...
I saw them on this 1981 world tour in Sydney Australia and tit was one of the best gigs I’ve ever seen,just fantastic.
Damn why did the 80s need to end?
I've always been a huge fan. This is an awesome live performance. Thanks for posting this.
Strange how these thing surface out of nowhere when I can't recall them being released as the time..when they should have been.
Thanks for uploading
Just saw Adam live last night at Foxwoods Casino... The on stage energy he possessed at 64 was amazing and his band was great !!
Wonderful concert!
Adam and the Ants was my first and biggest musical heroes.
I still Love and always will Love the AntMusic!!
This was a lot of fun going down memory lane. My idol in the 80s.
Adam should have stayed with this image a few years more. He changed to Prince Charming too fast. People did not have a clue...what is going on?
Adam be gettin it!!
I saw them in concert when I was like 17. I was in LOVE with Adam! ❤
No one moves like Adam!! 😊beautiful, he is!
They were truly unique, none else has ever been like them. They are extremely talented and cool As FUCK!
First concert I ever went to was Adam and the Ants!
Even before I knew Adam was a Scorpio, I KNEW he was a Scorpio! No one can have THAT MUCH FUCKING CHARISMA and be anything OTHER THAN A SCORPIO! Oozing that much sex from his pores? SCORPIO! hahahahaha!!!
wtf
ps: he's got that thing that Elvis had - in spades (this is a non-political comment so please don't fuck it up). Magnetism baybee
Watched this so many times back in the day. Remember when Nickelodeon showed concerts?
*YESSS!!!* 😃 I remember being *ABSOLUTELY CAPTIVATED* watching this & The Prince Charming Revue! I watched every chance I got!! I was just thinking about how *GRATEFUL* I am that Nickelodeon played these shows "way back when"! 😊
💞🐜🎶
That little move he does at 5:50 cracks me up
I couldn’t wait to see what you meant. He had so many! That was like a tiny fast tribute to a move he does in the Ant Music video
I think it was my dad dressed me as a highwayman for the gymkhana club summer show when this was in the charts 😌
Dick Turpin infack. I had a real antique pistol aswell of his shelf
I was call Steff snuff yesterday.
It's long I couldnt br bothered to write steiff and the whole white chamber side story
Aspect of Salem says Mary
Aspect of Snuffling Gerom more like
His performance of Car Trouble in this concert One of my favorites performances of all time and one of my favorite songs of his. As a person who has chosen to drive older/paid for cars all of my adult life, I've experienced a good share of Car Trouble and this song always brought a smile to my face during those times..it would play in my head as if someone had hit that play button on the old cassette player.
What year is this ?
I’d never heard Adam & the Ants live. They are so much better than I expected.
What an incredible performer Adam Ant is, he puts his all into every song and he looks sensational… 🏴☠️
1981.
I love UA-cam, He plays better guitar than I thought.
My first concert except it was in Los Angeles but same tour. Good times.
A Wizard, A true Star..
THERE NEEDS TO BE A 2HR AT LEAST PROPER FULL DOCUMENTARY ON THIS AMAZING BAND, LOTS OF RARE FOOTAGE WITH INTERVIEWS FROM ALL SURVIVING ANTS PAST & PRESENT TO GET THE WHOLE STORY. ANYONE KNOW OF ANY AT ALL.
I am 44 first ever album that I heard was Night Flight To Venus by Boney M first album that I had a decision on wanting to buy was Kings of the Wild Frontier i have never looked back, and bless him for getting over
the mental issues. Legend
Timeless music from the maestro and brilliant ants. I've loved this music since the beginning
Thanks! A great bit of history and talent-- all too rare in the slew of garbage.
No ones giving marco any credit. His guitar playing is underrated.
Man, I wish I could've seen him then...... I mean I'm gonna see him with my mum in May, but damn he was amazing!
Did you see them? If so how was it?
How on earth did he manage to get so hot and sweaty for nearly an hour without wiping his face just to clear his eyes and face of all the sweat without smearing all his make-up all over the place??
Sweat in the eyes only happens to mere mortals he is a god...
@@dorisday5871 yes! 🤣He is!🔥🥰
Why did I have to be born in the 80s? I wish I had a time machine.. I would go back in time to this concert lol. I love Adam and the Ants! I need to buy his first album and his greatest hits along with his book Stand and Deliver.
Me too, I was born in the 80s , wish I was born a decade earlier, so I could of enjoyed the 80s and still got to live the 90s music, originally went out the window by 2000s, now I don't know who sings what, all sounds the same
'Killer in the home' has for years reminded me of one of those 'Proto-Goth' songs that you hear in the songs of certain like minded Punk bands who's music had taken on a sound we would now call 'Proto-Goth', I dunno why but it would feature really well in a C-90 mixtape of bands like P.I.L, Banshees, ANTS,Damned, Toyah, MC5, Cure, Joy Division, early Human League, velvet Underground, and so-on, etc.
Yeah, those bands could make up more than really good mixtape. (---for those who understand.)😄
is he a hussar, a pirate or an redskin?
dressed up in everything 🤣😂
Stand And Deliver was the last Adam & The Ants I bought. He just went too pop for my pretentious post punk self. Still well worth a listen.
WOW !! great performance
I swear to God, those hips...Adam is perfection
La gente bipolar por norma son genios y Adam lo bordaba, borda y mientras le dejen .. fantastico
What an awesome show!!!! I still LOVE this guy!!!!
Kings of the Wild Frontier is such a brilliant album. I loved it back in the 80’s and now my daughter loves it as well. Great concert
Freaking fantastic! Does anyone know the year of this Tokyo concert? 1982 maybe? Or 1981?
Pricking up my ears for a trip down Ant memory lane.
I loved the way he combined the pirate look with the highwayman for "stand and deliver'.he should have kept the look longer and not done the "prince charming" look.i know a lot of people who were put off by that look thinking he was gay!I however still love him.
I HAD A GIANT POSTER OF ADAM ON MY WALL AT THE TIME...PROBABLY 'STILL' GOT IT SOMEWHERE!! THEY DID SOME EXCELLENT TRACKS...DRUMMING WAS FAB ON 'ANT MUSIC'
I think we all had him on our wall,he’s gorgeous !
Sound quality is excellent adam and the ants first band that got me into music superb 👍👍👍👍I appreciate it all more now.!
I also liked never trust a man with egg on on his face
Johnny Depp got all his style and inspiration from Adam. I rest my case.
IF Adam had emerged at the same time as Bolan and the others he would have been even bigger than he was {and he was big then}, great and original and no one apart from Depp could be him
I think stand and deliver was the only one in original tempo. the tempo on the other songs are insane where the hell did the energy come from?
The cocaine kicked in
Bands I've been in we always. Play faster than during practice. It's just adrenaline and for me nerves. Being the drummer if I've been going faster they all do. But even if I'm settled down someone else will make me have to speed up. Pure adrenaline.
