Back in the 80's. They had their own studio in Liverpool called The Gramophone Suite. They invited me to their studio one Sunday, while they were rehersing tracks from Architecture & Morality album. I had ambitions to work in recording studios, which didn't happen. Andy McCluskey was a top guy. Everything he was telling me went over my head 😁 I still have the letter he sent me with the invite. No texts in those days 😂.
I watched a documentary about OMD a while ago, and they visited their old studio which you mention. Looks very nice even now. Not many people can say they have even met OMD let alone have a studio tour. 👍
I listened to their music at school, it was difficult to get cassettes in Poland. Destiny has made such a spin that I live in Wirral, where OMD was founded and Andy McCluskey was born. When I listen to it, it is as if I was moved back in time
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ I'm aged 68 years and still listening to your songs in 2022 and love it more and more. #Backtothe80ties with #Musicwelove 💕 #LoveAndPeace to the world 🎶🎵🎼🎤🎧🎸🎹
Saw them this past Saturday night in Minneapolis, pretty much the same show. I took my 18 year old son, who started listening to OMD at 6 years old while playing around with my desk top. I started listening back in the early 80's . This show was amazing! I WAS BLOWN AWAY by the power, energy, sound, quality, voices, instrumentation, and the overall show! THESE GUYS ARE NOT AGING!!!! It was by far the best show I have seen in years...maybe the best ever! Goosebumps all night...especially with my son there with me. COME BACK OMD!
You are a very good, loving, educational, and forever inquisitive father and soul. Your son won’t forget this shared night and gift. Well done Nicholas.
1985 starb meine Mutter, ich war 8 Jahre alt! Die Welt schien mir still zu stehen! Ich wollte nicht mehr leben, da bekam ich ein Radio von meinem Vater und ich hörte zum ersten mal den Song Maid of Orleans und dieser Song nahm mir alle Sorgen und heilte meine Wunden! Ich liebe diesen Song heute noch! Danke OMD
@@terrytownsend5583 I've seen hundreds of concerts, easily the best band live. Their energy is palpable and it's just all so feel good. You leave absolutely high!
This just started Playing on my TH-cam whilst cleaning - omg they are so amazing and the positivity from this Man is electrifying and I am smitten - I loved this Group growing up from the minute I heard there Music, then 6 Years of Age as my Eldest Brother and Sister would listen to them - all I need now is to go see them Live :)
Great pop group from the 80's. Written in the hearts of my generation for ever. Even after more then 30 years I only listen to the music of the 80's, the music of my teenager years.
I remember Seeing OMD In 86 In Portland Or. opening for Depeche Mode..Music for the Masses tour. I've been to 100s of different concerts since. But that show will always be near the top..
Yessss! I was at Shoreline show. Dressed in my concert uniform, lol. Black beret bought at Army Surplus store. Black long sleeved blouse, with this cool vintage man’s suit vest, it had silver embroidered paisley print, topped with my huge ankh necklace, black mid calf swishy skirt, black tights and my ox blood Docs. Ahhh those were the days. 😂😂 🥰🥰
I grew up listening to omd local lads helped to put Liverpool on the map and im proud to say that they come from the same city a couple of miles away and they are still in great shape when i first heard messages it just blew me away just loved the synth keep playing lads
@@MarkFromEastleigh right on could not agree more what happened to playing instruments and creating your own music instead of just being a karaoke star
One of my workmates played Maid of Orleans in the truck. Not knowing much of OMD at that time.... I'm now addicted to everything they done. Absolutely 💯 brilliant.... Even easy listening in 2023. Very clever and way ahead of their time.......
So so so disappointed that their NZ concert has been cancelled. I know it's because of this dam Covid... but I am devastated... I've always loved their music... and in the early 80's played a few of OMD's as covers. Long may they be a band... hopefully for this 62 year old... NZ sometime in the future
Awesome video man! Brings back so many memories which I wish I can only go back in time! They still sound great with so much energy. Thanks for posting this!!👍👍👍
So cool to watch. OMD... I remember them from the first hour. I tried to play all their famous songs on my keyboard when I was a kid. Awesome show guys!
Fantastic quality filming Mark. I was there yesterday and as an OMD fan since 1981 and seeing them so many times yesterday first gig after lockdown was so good and can now relive it over and over. Lots of new fans gained yesterday by this performance too.
Thank you. I couldn’t agree more to your comment. It was more like OMG. A very entertaining performance. I too have been an OMD fan since their first hit. 80’s the best era by a long shot.
I wish we had You Tube in the 1980 onward. As an American born & raised in NYC [sounds like an oxymoron I know] it would have been great to know OMD along with Joy Division when they were debuting; If it were NOT for WLIR that was dedicated to Punk and alternative rock along with WKCR, the radio station for Columbia University and other college stations around the US we would have missed them completely. I now realise I learned how to dance in the 80's from Andy McCluskey. The sound quality is quite excellent for a live outdoor concert. I'm curious to know your connection to the band. It wasn't until I heard "Talking Loud and Clear" did I realize I remembered this song when it came out in the '80's when we began Fashion Week in NYC to help raise money for the City. OMG!!! I've been trying to remember for DECADES the name of this song and who recorded it!!! Thank You for uploading and posting MarkFromEastLeigh.
First saw OMD (with Malc) in Sheffield in the early 80s, and waited 40 years to see them again at Let`s Rock Leeds where they were "Electricity". They have refined the music as it was quite raw when they first started and Andy, his dancing moves (I have never seen anyone with so much dancing energy). One of the most entertaining bands ever with the ad libs and their friendship is so apparent! They should bring out a single "Longevity". Great day, great weather, great band!!!
They were fantastic. bought their records since 80/81 but not seen live until Lets rock, Southampton. Bonus that the Mrs was with me and loves them too.
Techno Music, the original Technocrat Band, along with Flock of Seagulls, Depech Mode, Pet Shop Boys etc. Andy's signature dancing put the Techno Dance on the map & still enjoying 40yrs on. Fantastic OMD Woohoo.
Stu kicking serious ass!!! I have heard some people say to me "Why don't Andy and Paul call it day?" Well, when you see them live and hear the music they are still producing in 2022 you will know why they are far from their expiration date. Hope they are still going in 2032!
@@cuteesiv I have seen them live three times. One of the concerts was the Liverpool Philharmonic performance with the orchestra. That was underwhelming too. They are just not that brilliant live. Same with PSB and Erasure. OMD are vastly overrated by a lot of their fans who have a fixed view that everything they release is golden. I have been listening to them for over forty years. They have made some great records but have also been very hit and miss in that time with some distinctly below par offerings. The first album is dreadful apart from Julia's song although that is cringeworthy to listen to. Dazzle Ships is patchy and Architecture and Morality is similar.
These guys have been making first class synthpop music for more than 40 years,so many hits and masterpiece albums.My personal favorite song of theirs is Almost. Hopefully they ll release new album soon.
Appreciate the kind comment. Happy you enjoyed just as much as we did. We stood for about 4 hours near the front row to capture OMD. All I can say is it was well worth it !!
I live in Oxford, couldn't get tickets, ironically i may have to go back to Liverpool, where I was at med school or Barcelona. I was born in Spain. I think that they may be worth it, 🎉🎉🎉

one of my favorite all time bands
Most underrated band ever. Every album (cd) was a gem.
You're right, the same level as Depeche Mode but not same fame
There rated just Fine
I listened to their music at school, it was difficult to get cassettes in Poland. Destiny has made such a spin that I live in Wirral, where OMD was founded and Andy McCluskey was born. When I listen to it, it is as if I was moved back in time
Surely you are back to the times, so am I. Cheers
O tak:) pozdrawiam:)
Still lives there
I feel the same. And live walking distance to the final destination of Enola Gay, Washington DC Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.

Спасибо, OMD! Вы - классные! С любовью из России! 🇷🇺
80's was so nice. Great music, no race/political nonsense and great times. First stop in the time machine.
1st stop?? I’d take a time machine back to 1980 and stay there. I’d be 10 : ).
The 80s were the height of racial & political nonsense, but you were young then so you didn’t know
Um, Enola Gay?
And their new ones: Bauhaus Staircase and Kleptocracy
love OMD , timeless & true entertainers 👌

Time machine music.
Soundtrack to my teen years! 🥰
Andy still has an awesome voice after all these years.Just stunning
Sounds like he’s still got his voice unlike Adam ant
He’s our perpetual angel. One of those Peter Pans we’re so glad to have. Cheeky too as well.
Big kid inquisitive in an adult body. A lighthouse of exploration.
Absolutely fantastic, the best group I've ever seen live.

@@cuteesiv Eyeroll. I can only assume you’re either a liar or easily pleased. Pathetic.
@@cuteesiv I have seen lots of bands live but would not put OMD anywhere near being the best. Not even close.
All classic OMD, no filler. I wasn't that familiar with 'History of Modern', but it's my new earworm.
What a fantastic performance!,, An hour of one of the best 80’s bands ever.
Was at their gig in Glasgow on Monday night, wow what a show what a band. They blew us away, they love what they do.
Super OMD, su musica me llena de frescura y mucha energia. Gracias por existir OMD.

Simplemente perfectos, gracias OMD por hacernos sentir que los 80 siempre estarán vivos en nuestros corazones. Paul y Andy siguen cantando bellisimo
Great video and thanks for posting! I LOVE OMD and have been listening to them for 40 years. To watch them in my later years is even more enjoyable.

You're welcome. Was it at Brighton Dome?
@@MarkFromEastleigh no, Brighton centre, if I recall, Andy came on at the end and said just one more, then kicked into enola gay, classic 😀
Brilliant!! Still got it !!
Nice to see they have a laugh with everyone and just enjoy what they do.
Amazing band,I was in high school back then.Never fades OMD 👍
back when? (if I may ask). this song-list covers about 40 years, which is awesome. i'm just curious - I love how universal great post-modern music is.
Very strong in happy melancholy :-)
Thanks for this mark, my fellow Eastleigh resident.
Seen them live in Glasgow 2007...great band. great music. great night.
Just seen them on the A&M 40 year tour, I love these guys, so many happy memories over 40 years! Thanks for posting 👍
See them at Cambridge last November and a couple of weeks ago at the royal Albert Hall.....Fantastic
Took my wife to Detroit last week to see them for the 2nd time. 1st was 6-7 yrs ago in Toronto. Brought back memories when I lived in Europe '74-'84
Excellent video and particularly good audio. Thanks for posting.
Awesome video man! Brings back so many memories which I wish I can only go back in time! They still sound great with so much energy. Thanks for posting this!!👍👍👍
wow, this takes me back some years ......... I saw OMD live in Berlin way back in the early 80's and watching this shows they haven't lost their magic
❤️❤️❤️wished I still lived in the Uk , love this band ♥️😎🤓
These guys never get old! Amazing show! Thanks for the share!!
You're welcome. A privilege to be there, up close and personal near the front.
Long applause from Argentina ✨
Enola Gay - I hope we will never experience Japanese disaster!
Thank you OMD for this anti war song ❤️
Super video quality. I saw these donkeys years ago and still sound fabulous.
Awesome Chaps, still sounding good after all these years!

Watched them as a support group for Gary Numan 1970 something been a fan ever since. Fantastic.
They supported Numan in 1979 on Numans Pleasure Principle tour not 1970 😉
