they combined the best of everything that was punk...and had street cred that the Clash never had...they would be playing stadiums if tragedy didn't strike....

Sounds just as good now as bk in the early 80s ❤😊 happy days ❤

Incredible.

2:11 to 2:16 Phil and Gary. That's the coolest shit ever lol. Holy fcuk this band were just epic.

You don't need me to tell you but I'll say it anyway.....you are watching the best band in the history of music.

Fabulous stuff.

Theme music to match of the day a few years ago great track

I saw this line up at Newcastle Mayfair Ballroom ( UK ) on the 1981 tour .... Fantastic gig , great songs and superb singing / musicianship .

raindeer brought me here

You're in a rut...you've gotta 'get out of it' geddit?

ThE RuTs 🧷 R.I.P Malcolm ♥️

Co written by Midge Ure.

As big as he was and very famous indeed, he’ll always be Parson Nathaniel to me. His performance in that album is just incredible .

Love this!

The cassette walkman by SONY and early MTV propaganda video embossed modern Japan.

Let’s be honest the video is a bit racist.

a real gem of a song by Phil and Midge Ure, he is greatly mised

1981-82

The band deserved more recognition

Wonderful stuff. Love how Perrett does a double take of Perry when he throws in some discordant stuff.

Scott's miming on a Danelectro 6 string bass.

Great! thx for sharing! 😊

A man who was in need of

Fantastic tune, this should be re-released, brilliant Phil lynott, sadly missed❤

with the yellow pearl 🖕

My eyes see Danelectro and Fender, my ears hear Gibson, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Kenny Everett used to get some cracking guest bands/artists - and usually had them doing stupid things. The stuff he got Bowie do is an eye-opener.

Imagine telling your kids now you had to wait until Thursday night at 830pm to see your favorite artist on the telly. Their little heads would explode. 😂😂😂

Asian people sound scary

The original tune for Top of The Pops....

Always loved this track but didn't know Midge was on it. Don't think he got the credit for feed the World that all went to and was readily accepted by that interloper.

this is friggin ridiculous thanks for poasting 🫶

Would've been bigger than the Clash, great shame.

Punk classic 😊

Top Of The Pops theme 81-86

Least these boys could play! Every pub in Hackney E5 London forever played these tunes! RIP Paul & the genius M. Never surrender ! N4 summer days lol 😆 😅 🙃 Uk 🇬🇧

People before Babyreindeer😎

Amazing lead riff

baby reindeer brought me here...

Was this the TOTP theme for a while?

Best punk singer ever. Absolute charisma.

Timeless, but there is no excuse for missing most of the introductionary solo.

Parson Nathaniel, but much much more.

Such a pity he discovered smack... R.I.P.

Simply awesome. This song helped define my teenage years. Still listening to the Ruts many years later.

Simply awesome !!!

One time

Was Phil a lisper?

Solid track but very clearly displays the disconnect between the music, its themes and the angst behind it, whilst attempting to be tolerable enough to be commercial. In other words, it's so painfully restrained and nuetured especially compared to their peers. The cover by Gallows brings that aggression forward.

OK, musically it was mimed, but unusual to see Thin Lizzy without a Les Paul! Regardless, always good to see any performance of them. Huge bonus with it being with the late, great Kenny Everett.
