Their level of musicianship is utterly amazing, abut for me it’s Bruce and Pete who really shine in performances like this. Steve is great too, but you can sometimes pick-up on the fact that he’s the youngest member of the band here and there in his playing. Christ, Bruce’s bass playing is unbelievable. It’s such a pity that there was massive clash of egos between Elvis and Bruce, as the Attractions were incredible.
Weird. When he was walking up to the stage I could have sworn that I'd seen an interview with Geddy Lee in that same spot. Looks like that was the case.
My first festival and I thought all festivals were like that..... never went back to Geleen, but I doubt they topped ‘79 even if Mick Jagger did not sing his hit with Peter Tosh
@@chrissharkey1261 the only good album he had without Bruce was the first, I can't even think of a song he did post Bruce that's at the same level as anything he did with him. Bruce was absolutely necessary for his success.
Loved him as long he was with the Attractions. Never again. Attractions are one of the best bands ever - Bruce Thomas on bass - genius, also wrote a book connecting Bruce Lee with Jimi Hendrix - and his brother on drums.
Wow, music just got so good I mean even better in the mid seventies and in 1980 it was just an explosion of having the greatest rock and roll from the past and all the great newer stuff The Cars The Police,The Clash,The Pretenders Elvis Costello RUSH ,ELO ,ELP ,REO and REM,Z.Z.Top , Dire Straits,Tom Petty and the HeartBreakers,FleetwoodMac,Alan Parsons Project, I mean,list is endless.
Don’t think Pinkpop ever topped the ‘79 line-up, but of course I’m biased 🤪 anyway thunder was part of the rhythm section @. 2:46 The Police before they hit the big time, Rush, AWB, Peter Tosh…
Sometimes I think that love is just a tumor you've got to cut it out. And wait it gets better: Sometimes I almost feel just like a human being. Forget your English grammar, forget your Led Zepplin, this is the way a band should sound.
Gage it’s hard to sing in the original range, too fast, you need a lot of throat power to be able to do that live over and over again. If he did that he’d probably ruin his voice

can't agree more, they're lost without Bruce
Dude in the red shirt off to the side of the stage enjoying the set is Joe Perry from Aerosmith.
live versions of lipstick vogue are the best
I disagree, the "yous" on the studio version are superior and the best part of the chorus for me.
That was badass... A true original with a killer band...
Saw this one, just after the Police and dire straits and before Rush. Incredible lineup that day
Weird. When he was walking up to the stage I could have sworn that I'd seen an interview with Geddy Lee in that same spot. Looks like that was the case.
Only thing that could have made this concert better was seeing The Cars along with these guys because that they were just shining them.
Except Rush
@@jeremiahjohnson-zn5hb what's wrong with Rush?
What a timing that thunder at 2.45. Was there, dancing in the rain and hail...
My first festival and I thought all festivals were like that..... never went back to Geleen, but I doubt they topped ‘79 even if Mick Jagger did not sing his hit with Peter Tosh
Nobody here plays their instrument like a normal person, it just looks like they're attacking them, but it still slaps so hard
this is flabbergasting!
the camp run at the end always cracks me up
i was there and FAN!
holy shiiiiiiiiittttttttttttttttttttt
I love this
This is one of my favorite videos on youtube
Someone's scratching at the window!
Great song, demented stuff, a fever dream masterpiece.
costello was a style icon on its own.
Legendary gig. I was there!
Brilliant, as ever! Journalist worried about Elvis getting wet by rain... hehe! 😅 Love that one!
Bruce Thomas was The Best Bass players he ever had..
Yeah, he was....tightest band in the world.
I question whether Elvis would have been ever been successful with out Bruce! He really knows music!
Best f**king band from the UK besides the Beatles. Ever! Apparently EC & BT hate each other...
TRUTH!

the attractions were ripping.
Great drummer
Aw he was quite cute when he was young
EC and BT should make up.

They are not brothers, actually..
And the Imposters still kick ass live.
White Reggae.
I always thought Steve was one of the best keyboard players ever. Up there with my other favorite Ray Manzarek
better. come on now
I thought the thunder sound was coming from the band. What a great clip!
Let’s put this beam in the middle of the stage. Yeah, wrap it in foam you’ll never notice it...
heh-heh...
Its health & safety gone mad
Love his pink suit!

....Lipstick Vogue is 50's pop taken to the edge and then heaved over it......
and hitting every single branch on the way down ....
No one in that crowd stopped to take a picture. Not one sent a text about it after. If they gushed it was to the human next to them.
We're in a transhumanic time now, humanity lost its values. Good management of our rulers. You don't miss what you don't know.
Nice job, man. A tough workout for bass & drums, i know!
Brill !!!!!!!!!!

Why did he never say Youououououou in any live performance m, that is the hook for lipstick vogue.

Probably too hard to sing that whole line and play at the same time
Yugoslavia ended
The guy of the blur he looks like or his looks him
Next comes Love buzz.
How many people does it hold?
