amazing how well they perform live, especially since this is a highly produced sound, love this... and the guy in shorts running around with the tape recorder, love to hear that
Thanks for doing this. Have liked and will post to my community page. There can't be that much footage as old as this of The Fixx floating around. This is actually just under 1 month after the release of their debut album Shuttered Room.
A song about nuclear war, performed on a Saturday morning kids show. The "Kids" running around happy as they play at interacting with the band.. I miss the 80s.
Good to see this on a UK show even if they did not make an impact here yet were way bigger in the USA. Same goes for Wang Chung, Outfield, Flock Of Seagulls and anyone else I forgot.
There is a series called Off The Record made by TVS in 1982 at Gillingham. You might find the odd snippit on TH-cam. Its possible the person who runs this channel might have TX tapes, i dont know, but this footage is TV gold and believed destroyed by Disney.
@80ssynthfan48 yes i am aware that there are VHS copies, but what we are taking here is the master tapes. Apart from a couple of recordings these are all TX broadcast master tapes. History has it they were all skipped, but an undisclosed amount were saved. It just depends whats been saved.
One of the best songs of the 80's.
Amazing live performance/sound
Such a clean and unique sound. The first time I heard them I was hooked.
My favorite band at that time
They don’t write music like this nowadays.
No, but The Fixx still plays this music 40 plus years later to this day/ just as well or better !!!###
Good to see a live version of this song from so far back.
All musical guests performing in the lounge (or cellar from Series 4 onwards) of _No.73_ performed live.
Red sky at night, shepherd's delight! Woah, woaaah woah ah woa,ahhh!!

Harry getting in the way as usual! 😂
The Fixx takes over your living room. Love this song.

Such a prophetic song/ hope it didn't scare the kids !!!###

This is triply valuable, as it's British TV, live, and before they were well known in the US.
What a fantastic band with a lot of great singles. Never got the credit they deserved.
@@michaelwilson2340 They did a lot better in the US than over here in their native UK. Shame, I liked this one and One Thing Leads to Another.
@@antster1983 I also love Stand Or Fall and Are We Ourselves?. Oh, and Built For The Future. Not a big single but I enjoy it.
Thanks for the upload!!!
maravilloso, que video mas lindo, como ocurre eso
Please do this for each of the music performances from No. 73.
Making a separate channel might be better for that.

@@Jaspacat1965 There are at least 3 episodes of Off The Record already on youtube. Depeche Mode, The Stranglers and Talk Talk.

Poor synth player looks nervous! A strange concept for a vid.
Fantastic to see this after all these years. What a great live performance!
