Liberation of the women, that´s what I preach! Preacherman ...

[MMulcair]

70s art rock played as tough no-bullshit punk.

Stranglers were such a unique and interesting band.

[vickygarnett]

That drumbeat is unrelenting! Brilliant.

[Martin-rsqz]

Songs like this arent written like this anymore musically and lyrically. The Stranglers were the first rock gig I attended back in 1985. Lifetime memory.

What a treasure of a vid. They entered my consciousness 40 years ago and refuse to leave.

The inventor of a time machine would make a few quid today wouldn't they. To those who were there, I salute you, to mere mortals like the rest of us, what a day that must have been

This clip is from the band's gig in Battersea Park in 1978 - where the strippers appeared to dance nude to Nice 'n' Sleazy - complete with stockings and suspenders and publc hair. I think that's now been deleted as being too rude for YouTube ! At one time you could watch it - and the intervention by the Police at the end.

RIP Jet Black That bass is now pounding out in punk heaven!

[onlyme]

What a gem I've just stumbled on :)

This is a new song to me thanks to YouTube what and alsome song i added this song to my Playlist ❤

[GrandmaRose]

I wish I could find 'Nice and Sleazy' with the strippers from this same performance. It disappeared from YouTube. Great live version.

[Radagast-]

I used to work near there next to Battersea Park station and I'd go running in the Park a couple of times a week. I still can't place where that was, though!

[dksilvers]

The perfect song to do a bit of sunbathing to

[marcy_law]

That "OH SHIT" at 2:12 made me bust out laughing

[Andrew-clkg]

A club band not a festival, fantastic in a sweaty venue

[PanekPL]

At 1:40 Hugh mistakenly started singing the chorus too early, you can hear him go "Walk-!" and play a lil' bit of the chorus guitar riff :D

Quick spin round the ingredients Clive!

[dooniskea]

This is where Mark E Smith got his act.

[sickssix]
