Incredibly tight sound on this performance, especially with the Hammond Organ mixed in. I was 16 when this came out and I was floored. A truly timeless song.
Thank you for taking the time to upload seemingly every late night musical performance from the era of the Clinton Administration! You obviously used high quality tapes, a great rig, and a good rendering program. I know what a complete pain in the butt it is to transfer old VHS tapes onto the computer, so thank you so much for your invaluable archive and for taking such good care of your tapes over the years...
My pleasure! The results are due to having had good advice at the time about getting a hi-fi stereo recorder [dual head], and the tapes varied, depending on price. Turns out that the best results were on the TDK tapes, IMO. After researching things a bit - and being limited by budget concerns - I ended up getting the Eye-TV Plus encoder for the analog to digital conversion, and then using Handbrake for the final compression, which is what you see here. Yes, real-time transfers take a long time, but it's the only way to "keep" my library now..... Hadn't give a thought about the fact that many of these performances were done during the Clinton years, until you mentioned it - I guess those were relatively happier times. Thanks, again, for the note of appreciation, and nice to know someone understands the work involved :)
Heard it on American Pie and learned it on the guitar and still play and sing it. This song fucking rocks man. Shame nobody else seems to know about it! This guy has serious energy and soul, and the jam is very unique. Hope wherever James is they’re rocking it.
In 89' they came out with SIT DOWN...By far my favorite song from them... WHAT FOR my Second favorite.... But LAID is An amazing song as well... STILL SOUNDS CLASS!! 👍
i think it's about an unhealthy relationship. she's domineering, controlling, and bad for him in every way. but whenever he tries to break it off she makes him love her again, and he goes crazy when she's not around. the melody and the vocals just make it sound haunting and creepy and at the same time beautiful, just like the relationship the song describes.
…you should here the slow version he played. Theres a pause between “you are driving me crazy” and then. “When are you coming home?!” That shows how doomed he is!!!
It's one of those songs that's all chorus going round and around. Like 'I was made to love her' and 'I don't know why I love you' by Stevie Wonder, where the only place to go is more and more intense and unhinged.
I went with my girlfriend to his show in 1994. She was hot and tight. James was totally scoping her out the whole show. I felt so dang privileged that night.

Holyshit what an absolutely amazing live performance for any song
This is studio quality and they were able to belt it out live on TV
it's perfect
sounds so fucking good@@Chiron952
What incredible talent. Shame they weren’t around during the classic rock period.
Really could not have put it any way better than you have..
My 17 year old son just saw them live at Lytham Festival, I was at school when this was a hit, timeless!
This many years later and this song pops into my head. It is a hilariously underated spectacular jam.
Same bro. Randomly popped into my head. This song can cheer people up.
What’s hilarious about it. It’s a 90’s classic.
@@oregonchris8457 The words. It's really witty. Ofc it's a classic, being funny doesn't take that away
Here in 2023, WXRT in Chicago still plays this from time to time. great stuff
Agreed.
Came for the high notes stayed for the dance moves.
Not the ‘90s hair and hoop in the ear? 😂
"Medication Time!!!!".
Fantastic
Great song, great band. I bloody loved music in the 90’s.
lol word ✊
One of the most infectious grooves ever written. And Tim booth has still got it 30 years later 😍
Dancing like nobody is watching is the only way to dance, fantastic song and performance
Absofuckinglutely, love his dancing
Perfect song in Season 3 Episode 10 “The Bear”. Can’t get it out of my head
Wow!!! Glad to hear the song again after all these years! Brings back the summer of 1993 in California for me!
Incredibly tight sound on this performance, especially with the Hammond Organ mixed in. I was 16 when this came out and I was floored. A truly timeless song.
What I was listening to at age17.
Young young 13 myself.
I miss the 90s
Me to
I miss them too!😢

Possibly the greatest dancing on jay leno....ever
Tim Booth, Dancer and actor after the band split.Glad they are back doing it all for us again ❤
The way he dances at the end reminds me of the feeling i used to get when i was 8 or 9 and it was Friday afterschool, home time :) !!!

It's a British anthem. If you're aged 40-60 you've been smashed at a wedding dancing to this
@@iaincasson3552 awesome! Lol
Praising and US ignorance in 1 comment.
@@DaveMcIroy Please, continue.
Holy shit, I can't believe this was 26 years go. I loved this song when it came out, still love it.
If this comment is truly 1 month old then your math is off...recount!
@@d_chatz8353 you must be fun at parties.
@@TessT101 I'm not. I don't go to any.
Great song from one of my all time top ten albums...every track is a gem.....if you haven't listened it ...do
I'm watching this in 2023. It's hard to believe it's the same man.
Yah he turned into American history X later on in life
Met Jim Glennie at South by many years back. Fantastic guy. Tim's dance in this is a tribute to fellow Mancunian Ian Curtis.
I'm glad you mentioned that, it's a huge nod to Ian
From Macclesfield not Manchester
I never knew that Tim Booth moved in that way in memory of Ian Curtis I could watch both all night
.T.Y.
Neither Tim Booth nor Ian Curtis are Mancunian. Tim is from Bradford (West Yorkshire) Ian was from Macclesfield (Cheshire)
Wow...nice tv performance.... I love James, I love Laid
1983 was a hot summer, and this was a sound track for an eighteen year old trying to impress 18 year old girls ❤ happy days 🎉
One of my favorite bands. Great live too
I'm 72. Never heard this before. Thanks Mickey and Gus.
one of the best bands of all time.
Just heard this song on The Bear.
Took me back. Brilliant tune.
Wow 👏....WHAT A GREAT PERFORMANCE!! LOVE JAMES!
I'm still loving this in 2024!
Lo Amo lo Amo lo Amo .!!!
Now if he can dance like that on TV you can dance anyhow you like anywhere you are!

Beautiful quality
Still love this song now in 2024.

Tim Booth we love you Leeds United.
James were and still are absolutely top draw live.
What an incredible 1960s nod and influence in the sound of this song. Bloody brilliant.
Loved the song.Loved the performance.Whats more to love than life itself
Still sublime 30 years on….
Dancing like a happy Ian Curtis
Underrated comment.
Similar part of England too.
their first gig was at The Hacienda and they were from Manchester so most likely they were aware of Joy Division
Perfect performance. WOW!!!!
the drum licks make this song--great skin mover
This performance, emotionally searing, utterly personal yet universal, sums up the post-postmodern era!
So good that this is fair dinkum, not mimed as so many tv band performances were. A great song, a great performance and a great post.
Yes. I saw this on tv.. 30 years??? Wow.. I'm Old as Crap.. Jesus
Gracias, es hermosa esa canción
OMG!!
Jay mentioned our beloved Huntridge Theater here in Vegas❣️❣️❣️❣️
God we need The Huntridge back up & running😿
Love this song! It always makes me smile.
I loved James in 1995 so much a their songs since never gets old.
Duder's got some crazy moves! Love it.
I friggin love this song!!
Holy fuck, how is it possible to dance like that! Fabulous
Great song/video. Thanks.
You're welcome! Much appreciate the note of approval :)
This one time - at band camp, I was listening to this

Break into her apartment.....
…you should here the slow version he played. Theres a pause between “you are driving me crazy” and then. “When are you coming home?!” That shows how doomed he is!!!
His dancing is what makes this video great. Lol!
Seriously bad white mans issues

Young Tim Booth looks like Robin Williams
Looks nothing like him.
I’m with you. I see the similarity. Mork.

His dancing reminds me of Ian Curtis towards the end. Great song.
