@@9313James Why should stockport county fans be there? That gig was somewhere round Collyhurst,i thought that was a few locals from there who sorted him out
I loooove Poly Styrene, Chrissie Hynde, Siouxsie Sioux, The Slits and The Raincoats but Pauline should get the same recognition as those ladies. Unfortunately she doesn't.
Saw Penetration in '78 at the Canterbury Odeon. The opening chords are instantly recognisable, even to this day. Very underrated band, this song can be heard from time to time on Radio 2. If memory serves, they were supported by The Cure, then a 3 piece, they returned as headliners a few weeks later; another great gig.
Wankers abounded then just as they do now but we all know Penetration were pretty fuckin cool! Well done Pauline and the crew! That is some magic footage! (:
FFS I saw this clip in the 90es when I was a teenager and I never realized the guy got beat up. I just got absorbed in her singing and wished she'd just bashed the bottle on his head. Thanks for pointing this out. Makes me feel much better x
He wasnt doing anything wrong , just the cowardly mob attitude , fucking drunk wankers . And before you say he was throwing beer , get a life . Its obvious Murray was in a bad mood and getting all above herself after her single hit .
The time when you could get a council flat or house anywhere,pubs where anywhere you looked, you paid your bills easily enough without a shareholder getting a take,the buses and trains were public owned.Digital watches just came in.
@@montyf2165 Yeah im saying very favourable things about those days.Although i did imply everything was cheaper,strikes were plenty and people who were in work werent given big salaries
I saw them at Peterlee Leisure Centre in 1980. Probably the biggest punk band from the NE along with the Upstarts - until The Toy Dolls came about. I think the they played 'Boro Rock Garden a few times.
That must have been an Amazing exciting time with all the Great bands of that period. I remember seeing this clip for the first time about 22 years ago. It still is a classic. But yeah its always Horrid to see fights and all that at concerts. When i was a pisshead i did not see much at gigs, but being sober has really opened my eyes. Props to the first time around Punks :)
I was there right in the middle of the scrap I remember it well. It was pretty scary I was only 16, that sort of thing started happening far to much really quickly at punk gigs in 77 and it soon burned out. But before long punk razed its ugly head again to become the attitude and sound we all know and love today.
Compare Pauline Murray coming outside at the Cambridge Corn Exchange to apologise to all the punks about the high ticket price, adding that she'd spoken to the promoter & if we ask on our way in, we'll all get a partial refund....compare that to John Lydon, banging on about sincerity & integrity & then doing a butter advert on UK television channels. Enough said.
Still keep finding bands I've never heard of in my time. Holy shit!! She shoulda bopped that goddamn roach showering her with beer *or I hope it's beer*
So good to see this again. I remember seeing this clip on "So It Goes" late one night - instantly became a Penetration fan (and incidentally, vastly superior to The Vibrators!!!!!!) The gobbing and such like were all part of it then, lol!
Know Pauline Murray (Vocals) and Rob Blamire (Bass Player) very wel, they run The Polestar in Byker, and Rob was my Photography Tutor at Tynemet College.
this is an excellent song but sounds a lot more pro on a bootleg album I have. I hadnt seen this clip before just great to see it live witj all the mayhem and mood of the day, must have been wicked to be there?
@nobbilc Sorry, I'm down south, it's all the same to us. When we say "Geordie", we just mean all you lot up there north of Manchester but south of Scotland. No offence.
I wasn't there, sorry, I don't think lying is clever. ''Punk'' just burned out, and never raised it's head again. I did see other ''punk'' bands though, in 77' I was 13 and violence among the gigs was common. The Clash was scary and dangerous, Even The Rezillos gigs used to have police waiting outside. I don't love ''punk'' anymore, I've moved on and find it boring. Want to point yourself out Gnasher? Seeing as you were ''right there''.
Saw these at the Mayfair in Brum 78 aged 15, top quality, also saw em support the Buzzcocks same year. Penetration were very underrated as far as I remember. Amnd by the way the bloke who was chucking his beer all over Pauline in this vid deserved to get his gonads booted in. The 70's were violent times and punk gigs especially.
just wanna say to the bell-end down the front spraying newkie brown all over the shop (and then receiving a well deserved pasting)WELCOME TO MANCHESTER
@Gnasher77 gary chaplin now teaches me about buisness grants and stuff in music haha its propper weird knowing that someone who teaches me was in a really successful punk band
actually one of my friends done a documentary on them and filmed some of their stuff, so i know a little about them actually :D Just because they support a good band like the Vibrators doesnt mean they have to be good in everyones eyes, in mine, i think their awful (penetration not vibrators (never thought id say that in a conversation about music lol)) Yeah im 21, i think ill go listen to some T-Rex/Bowie/Otis Redding... youknow the good musicians of years past. UH HWEE!!
Over reacting thug bouncers beating on teenagers was a common occurence at punk concerts back then . They were older longhaired rocker types or hippy wankers .
most underrated band of the punk era. i'm 20 got into these through my step grandad absolutely class!
Agree!
Us old farts had some fantastic music to listen to when we were young.
the way they beat the annoying guy it's simply touching
:D
A couple of Stockport County fans were the ones leading the *ahem* removal

Never heard of the raincoats.Were they from Manchester?
THE best album of my youth
Great band. Still have my ticket signed by both Penetration and Buzzcocks at Clouds in Edinburgh.
Great band, was lucky enough to see them live supporting Buzzcocks in 1978 at the Mayfair Brum.
Me too.
This footage is up there with all the Clash and Pistols stuff.
definitely.

First heard on radio Luxembourg many many moons ago .surely the epitomy. Of punk brillant tune right up there .feckin love it .
Just played on BBC 6 Music. My 5 year old is son is dancing around head banging to this - music never dies
Great band and great woman my band used to practice at studio she owned and she was propa class
It was beer they were slinging, but yes Pauline was not overawed by much, then again she was from Ferryhill in Durham !
Genius - one of the greatest pop moments ever.
They're tolerant in Manchester, it took until 1:17 for that bloke to get a kicking? In Dublin it would've happened within 30 seconds, easily.
Wankers abounded then just as they do now but we all know Penetration were pretty fuckin cool! Well done Pauline and the crew! That is some magic footage!

@@brain8484 you sound dumb as shit. Youd get your ass beat ass well :)
I first saw this in 1986 on a documentary about punk (I'm 50 now so I was only 11 in 1977).
Same for me. The doc was up on YT for years but they have now taken it down on copyright grounds! Over 650,000 views as well. Shame.
Celtic Whisper "The Way They Were", I still have it on VHS. Maybe I should upload it!

love the way she dances aha
Saw these play at the Town Hall, Middlesbrough in 1978. I saw Pauline play at the Georgian Theatre, Stockton on Tees, a few years ago.

Love it - so looking forward to seeing Penetration play Undercover Festival Bisley Pavilion nr Woking Surrey in September 2014
great voice !

I was there too. Up against the stage, this (bass player) side. I see myself a couple of times in this clip.
So was i 🍻
Happy days Penetration reformed about 4 years ago and still going but it's not the same..Hounslow Mob still lives on...
I went to see them at Fac 251 (Factory records) . Pauline held the microphond to sing.

followed them for yrs gary smallman become a friend last saw at a reunion up camden
1:17 Don't fuck about in Manchester, you'll get fuckin whacked!!!
Just keep pressing on 1:15
Great band well worth a watch
And the moral of the story is..............don't fuck beer over Paulinre in 1977.
Otherwise she will get sad love struck bouncers to beat you up .
They were great at Reading Festival 1978 before Sham 69 and the Jam headlining.
Cant be as good as that smokey smelly little gig at the Electric Circus though.
went to their last gig at the Marquee. fantastic night
Still keep finding bands I've never heard of in my time. Holy shit!! She shoulda bopped that goddamn roach showering her with beer *or I hope it's beer*
I had this on an old VHS tape in 91.
Even by then Punk was dated.
I always wondered what the hell was guy was throwing at the band?
i have this on vhs somewhere? with lots of other punk bits and pieces :)
77 was a great time to be 16.
Demasiado buena

I liked a lot of punk music when it came out and still do but I'd say that "The gobbing and such like" was for morons.

Pics or it didn't happen.
Yep!

well i might be wrong but im sure i saw these at the witchwood in ashton under lyne about 3 years back?
If that was Glasgow, that eejit would have been battered within the first 30 seconds
a great teen anthem from back in the punk days when there was a generation gap!
The just wasn’t taking that abuse from the bottle guy; respect.
makes me young again to when i was a punk(still am)
You are not
ah... the milk bottle disco in cov some great nights there so there was...

Brilliant song from a brilliant band but where did Pauline get that cockney accent from?
raysco england she's a brit
+Jason Bouskill Cockney is a London accent, she is from the North East of England.
+a. county durham, waterhouses-1958. that"s not a cockney accent anyway!
Peter Nicklin
I agree, it doesn't sound very cockney to me
She put it in for a joke
It was nasty to throw beer at that nice posh girl singer. He was asking for a good hiding.
If you thought that was nasty then you should the video on here where poor Siouxsie Sioux gets spat at while singing.
That did happen at punk gigs but why did it happen to lovely Siouxsie? Hope who did that was beaten f**k out of.
whos bin on y utube
Who's Dick Tate?
Joe Boris it doesn't matter who he is, just don't.......
Old Pauline
Posh girl? Pauline Murray was a hard-as-nails Geordie...
it was ian and alan from the worst putting the guy straight
Over reacting thug bouncers beating on teenagers was a common occurence at punk concerts back then . They were older longhaired rocker types or hippy wankers .
Gobbing is a gross way yet exciting of clapping and cheering somehow...
He got battered 🤣
Nice posh girl with just a bit of sneer. Fun tune.
so many spits
