The Shea SISOSIG video that came out in 1991 in the wake of the Levi's ad was redubbed with single audio. The live version (which was weirdly sped up) definitely aired on the Tube in autumn 1983. Whether it aired anywhere before that, I'm not sure.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑19 Dec 2019, 9:24amHuh.

I sometimes get bored with Paul's "you gotta move on and not look back" schtick. Ffs, just enjoy the fact you were part of one of the greatest albums ever. You certainly ain't gonna better it with TGTBATQ!

Thanks for the footage though Plexi, I'm assuming someone rumbled the filmer at the end there.

Aye...BFI like to record these things – for themselves!
Should see them put something official up on YouTube, eventuallY?

Still, imagine having to tell that same story as many times as he has.

Couldn't be as boring as being in TGTBATQ.

I couldn't agree more with you Heston. Its a bit of a bug bear of mine as it only works if you do write something better or on a par. In my opinion and I always feel its a little up your own arse but to be fair so many bands say and think it that its not just the clash. I always feel its around about way of making an apology of not being able to better it and a way of giving an excuse of why you couldn't better it. Yeah those 5 albums are just legendary and something that they should be making as a bench mark to reach not to feel they need to move on. Sometimes bands don't see their own genius and try to strive to be something they are not in the name of art.
I will put a caveat here though that Big Audio dynamite was a fantastic example of moving on.
