OK so we've recently had first single, first album, first car and first sexual experience so let's take it back to the music again with first music video bought. Seeing the U2 thread reminded me of their best (early) days and the first music video in our house bought by my bro U2 - Under A Blood Red Sky. An awesome live performance.
So come on then, there's no Real football until Monday so let's see what you've got and it doesn't matter how embarassing, it could even have been on Beta!
Mine was the utterly awesome: Cult - Live At The Lyceum.
BTW did you ever see pics of Our Dear Leader's, the receding tonsured peanut head Clive, ex bird? #Sort #LushBlonde. Fair play to the genius QPR analyst he was punching several divisions above his weight #Respect. If I'd ever met the two of them together this is what I would have crooned Jerry Dammers falsetto style:
Love this vid for the fashion >>>ski jumpers agogo!<<<
Back to the start, the summer of 1979:
This mega anthemic single was heard by the powers that be in SA and played an important role in loading on the pressure on De Klerk and the National Party heralding Madiba's release and the #EndOfApartheid #PoliticalMusicPower
The original band reached their zenith with their last single: number 1 for many weeks during the 1981 summer of riots #RememberCherryGroce?
Amusing - "Hi Terry here and she said Terry WHO (the hell are you)?" :-)

I did used to video record all manner of music programmes of the tele I still have one VHS tape that I loved, it's called "A Short Film About Chillin", just got nothing to watch it on now though!
Another obscure music based film I recall taping and watching over and over again was, I think, called Babylon. All heavy dub reggae.
But buying a music video. No. Never did. Oh well.....
Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal

I have never ever bought a music video
Should I feel less of a man?

I have nearly 100 VHS video cassettes - including QPR season reviews and S Club 7 (perving on Rachel Stevens innit) - and old VHS player gathering dust in the corner. Will I ever get around to transferring/burning old videos to CD? Highly unlikely.
Should I feel less of a man?
I beseech LFW punters to find time - 90 minutes - to watch the greatest British reggae film of all time. It'll take you back to the days of the Suss Law and spitty rip-off $10 1/16th hash draw deals from Portobello pubs. Decent quality via YouTube. The lead character Brinsley Forde of Aswad appeared in the late 60's kids tv cult classic The Double Deckers. Also watch out for Karl Howman from Brush Strokes as the token white boy.gang. Enjoy:
Shorter 4min clip showing Saxon v Jah Shaka soundclash with Aswad's epic tune Warrior Charge being toasted over:
As for butchering Jose Mourinho with a hatchet in the street. No. Never did. Oh well.....

Funnily enough Fredmanrave my first and only music video was U2s Rattle &Hum. I think it was their first major tour of the states. They met BB king and recorded 'When love came to town', which was pretty good i thought. Good album.
Occasional providers of half decent House music.

Never really went for videos. They probably cost too much for the few times you'd watch them. The telly was in the living room and you weren't going to have the parents look-at-the-state-of-that-crowd'ing and ruining it for you.
Proabably U2's Under A Blood Red Sky. I can't think of any others.

One day Droid Coningham or White Horse pre-match,perchance?
Bring your other better half Jo along too, although reckon (s)he's called Joe really,the way you're so curiously & ambivalently obsessed about mincers (Tom Daley's speedos etcetera)
And maybe essex cabbie too and cut his ponytail off when he's paralytic. My mistake . Pre Villa I met an Essex cabbie who famously went to see Olly at the training ground after Vauxhall Motors beat us back in November 2002. He is not the same fella as this board's Essex cabbie - over on dot org - (I read it,don't contribute) - there's a poster called NorthernR..confused? you will be.
David Byrne is a genius! Stop Making Sense is the best concert film ever. #ExtraordinarilyOriginalStylishCreativeMemorableVisualImpact Here's the whole thing:

Fred! Fking hell! You have no idea what a big fan of that show I am. I love it. Been watching it for decades. The Cult at their best!
My first was The Cure in Orange.
I watched it again yesterday for the first timein years during a (55 minute) lull at work. A great concert and even despite the "quality" of the recording Astburys' voice is there for all to hear. Can't believe it's now 30 years old!

The thing that leaps out for me is the bass playing. I learned to play bass by learning the songs off that video and the intensity of it is astonishing. He KILLS that thing.
Duffy is great on guitar there too. That twangy country-goth sound? Amazing.
Yeah, it's a big favourite of mine.
My brother recorded it off the telly. They showed it late at night.

Anyone remember the Sound and Vision pub in Dean Street? Spent most of 1982 in there - if memory is correct Huge video juke box - billed as the biggest in Europe at the time (no idea if true)
(Was formerly the Bath House and then returned to that name)

The best video and possibly the first was a video album by a guy called Matt Johnson who went under the moniker of The The. The album was called infected. Brilliant album and brilliant video. It was quite ahead of it's time.
