Great video. I still have graduates album 'acting my age' I don't suppose you've got sparks appearance on the old grey whistle test in your collection?
*I know that AllMusic lists Graduate as a new wave band but going by this song they're more like power pop band.* Like J. Geils Band, Big Star, The Knack, and Cheap Trick. Tears for Fears is definitely new wave. I wonder if they realized power pop was only getting them onto kiddie shows and decided to get on the new wave scene.
@@tylerthompson1842 I lived locally to the studios and they asked local schools to play and attend. Great fun and great memories. I still have my badge.
A animação das crianças era absurda...rss...e eles com corte de cabelo...meu Deus...de dar medo...mas se tornaram algo inesperado no mundo da música...fez parte de minha época de descobertas musicais de todos os tipos...o Rock até o Pop...são demais...hoje tantos anos depois ouvir Tears for Fears é um alento pra alma !!! 😍
Didn't know they went back to late 70s! Just shows you, all the Great 80s bands like Simple Minds, Depeche Mode, Thompson Twins, Tears For Fears, so many! They didn't just appear overnight, they put the years of work in, gigs, writing, creative focus....they forced their way into the popular culture of the 80s, and made it great for all of us!👏
Although the band was created in 1978, this video is actually from 1980, in a TV performance, with this song "Ever Met a Day" on the children's program Runaround for Southern TV, in Southampton. It was in this year that they released their first and only album, “Acting My Age”. In 1981, Orzabal and Smith left Graduate and formed a band called History of Headaches, which they soon changed to Tears for Fears.
Wow, so true. I was a big XTC fan in the early '80s, only knew Tears For Fears from Songs From the Big Chair, and confess that I didn't pick up on the influence. Here it's so strong.
Some commented on the crowd being confused. If the Beatles came out with Sgt. Pepper in 1963, people wouldn’t understand it. Timing is sometimes as important as the music itself.
I don’t know whether to laugh, cry or just be amazed. What a captivating clip from the past! To think they went on to create Songs from the big chair, Sowing the Seeds of Love, and Everybody Loves a Happy Ending - my three favourite TFF albums
How could you miss out The Hurting which I was playing yet again this Afternoon where Roland wrote about of his and Curt’s Traumas while growing.up Awesome Debut album that I bought the day it was released in 1983.
It is quite funny. I agree that Everybody Loves a Happy Ending is a brilliant album. Love the Hurting as well, but I think it's one of their best. Hope it gets a vinyl release.
That just blew me away as looked like mods but playing Folk Prog Rock with a New Wave attitude to a Priory school audience...wish thay stayed like that for a few more years.
@@superbug1977 Nah, they were huge Genesis and prog rock fans as well. I can hear Jethro Tull in this too. It also sounds like Australian rock band _Men at Work_
i was at university in Bath (where Graduate are from) from 1977 to 1982, and saw Graduate many times in local clubs. I remember the last time i saw them, the personnel had changed and i thought they were even better... then noticed the two guys standing next to me (Kurt and Roland) and remember thinking to myself how pissed off they must be not being in the band anymore, because Graduate were so good! lol..... I guess it didnt affect them too badly in the end 🤭
It's unbelievable!!! First they get introduced by Eastenders stand up comedian Mike Reid!!! Then when they appear Roland and Curt look like they are in the Elvis Costello band!!! Amazing TV performance!!! 🙂🌞🌻💛🙏
What a cool piece of history. They all look like they auditioned for post-70s blondie and got rejected haha. Definitely groovier and more cheerful than most tears for fears stuff, thanks for posting.
You can see the Beatles influence in the outfits and hairstyles😄 If it weren’t for the description I probably would not have known it was Curt & Roland. Classic!
Bloody hell. I used to watch Runaround after getting home from school. Loved that show. I grew up in the Bath area and of course knew about Tears for Fears but I didn't know about Graduate. Very interesting bit of music history!
My Dad was one of the directors for Runaround. I remember watching a couple of episodes from the audience. I also remember he described Mike Reid as difficult to direct because he had no patience with the kids taking part 😄
There is a photo of Curt and Roland at an early 80s King Crimson concert, totally enraptured. That explains how the went from this basic musical structure, to the more complex Tears For Fears arrangements.
This is a fantastic trip back in time, the broadcast quality is amazing. The way Roland and Curt are playing and dancing is aggressive and punk in attitude. It’s a million miles away from the cool stage persona they had when they hit the big time with their mid 80s ballads and stadium anthems.
I loved watching this performance. At this early stage of their musical career they had no idea how big they would become. TFF is my favorite band since forever!
Priceless! The kids in the audience don't look like they're too in to it, but I guarantee you they love TFF now. You can already see very clearly that Curt and Roland were a cut above the other folks in the band. I wonder what happened to them. Love it.
Whoa, this is hilarious, I never knew about this incarnation of the band. But they had the attitude and could really sing! (probably playback but they could still sing as we know)
What an enjoyable video... it is so great to see the very young Roland and Curt. Funny how two young musicians can be part of your life for so many years... and now they have given us Tipping Point. I have never heard this song before. I wish they would add it to their set list for the next tour... it is so fun.
This was before they were Tears For Fears, they were called "Graduate", they tried their hand at being a mod band, like The Jam. The TV show was called "Runaround" and was a kids show, presented by comedian and later EastEnders actor Mike Read.
This is really out of left field. A penpal of mine introduced me to Graduate, then I saw TFF live in the mid 80s being all cool and polished following the release of Big Chair, and one afternoon I walked past a hotel and saw Curt and Roland getting into their car, there was Head Over Heels in the Donnie Darko movie and Seeds of Love playing in a store everyday where I worked , one of my major fave musicians Steven Wilson has worked with them and I watched a live BBC concert a little while back when on hols and my flatmate has most of their stuff now. They've been following me around for decades! And fine cos they're not a bad band at all! My fave song is Sea Song. Btw, big shout out to all my old penpals from back in the day....we used to write a heck of a load of letters about TFF, there was a massive worldwide TFF network then in the 80s before the time of Social Media. We found a way. Happy days! 😻
In 1978, the world was not ready for what this band would become. They were hip enough to popular tastes at this point to know that they could connect with the audience better by playing guitars instead of synths, but their way with a song was already in full bloom. To be honest, it was the 90s before I was willing to admit how good they are. I love this rare early video. Thank you for posting.

If you want more, then I remember my friend buying an EP by the Graduates. From memory - they included a song "Elvis Should Play Ska". Four great songs altogether if you can find them.
Oh man, it took me a second to realize that Curt Smith was on the bass! And that's Roland all over that stage. Yep! Well, there they are, TFF in the making. Wow! TFF is in my top three best bands of all time, to me. Love it! Wow!
@ronniedoorzon1576 "Everybody wants to rule the world" and "Shout," of course. There is plenty about them to admire. I saw them in concert, once, in Reno. What an evening that was. They had just released their "Everybody loves a happy ending" album.

Definitely getting Genesis/Men at Work vibes from this.
Genesis? I don't see or hear that...
@ Their early work. Think Foxtrot, Nursery Cryme, Sell England by the Pound…
Very good for me it' s a surprise .
Half pop/rock and half disco.
I was in the audience of this. Cant believe they are now my favourite band.
That's so wild!!

TY! ❤
@@kylej.mcelravy. Neon was actually a band they played with that essentially became Naked Eyes.
Nice history lesson there. I was thinking no way TFF sounded like this, and now that makes sense.
Very XTC-ish. From a kid's show to global fame. Well done boys!
It’s funny how the kids really don’t get what they’re hearing.
Definitely XTCish. Great moment. Roland is going off!
XTC at this point were much more frantic and angular.@@vandalorianvandalorian4769

XTC-like, that's exactly what I thought.
Was thinking exactly the same, but you beat me to it.
Thank god they progressed.
yeap, total shit music
Looked like they were moving in fast motion. So young and full of energy. Great Iconic band.
Should see them now, Curt Smith looks the same more or less, just a bit older. Roland Orzabal looks like a wizard from Middle Earth these days.
@@oxyman10 👌 🤝
Yep, looks sped up a bit
Speed is a helluva drug
@@oxyman10Roland Looks like an Hermit now. Should have a haircut and a beard trim. Roland I would volantary cut ur hair for free.
The boys were, maybe, 19.
Think about that.
Roland's musical genius is so stark.
That was a pretty good song for a 19 yr old

LOL. I feel the same. Although I would replace happy ending with Elemental.....very powerful album with some very powerful well produced songs.

Those two, they're going to be big someday
The flautist and the show host? I agree.
What a fascinating and creative band they became. This is a treasure of a video. Thanks for posting.
Agree!
But not in 1978
Totally awesome 😅❤ !!!
parece mas un grupo de los 60`. por fin que los 80' los rescataron.
That just blew me away as looked like mods but playing Folk Prog Rock with a New Wave attitude to a Priory school audience...wish thay stayed like that for a few more years.
A mix of different styles: Beatles, Genesis, Jethro Tull, Jam....very interesting. The talent was already evident.
Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂
Thank you for appreciating. @@ScottishTeeVee
They were completely under the spell of Elvis Costello most of the time.
And add some Roxy Music and early Ultravox
@@superbug1977 Nah, they were huge Genesis and prog rock fans as well. I can hear Jethro Tull in this too. It also sounds like Australian rock band _Men at Work_
This band was called Graduate from 1978-1980ish
disbanded then Roland and Curt started Tears for Fears
And the rest was history .. saw them in nyc at the beacon Theatre in the 90’s. Best concert I ever attended.
Stop Showing off you Lot 😂
Their follow up single Elvis Should Play Ska was a cracker!
Oh, my freaking Gawd! Curt and Roland!
my school went on Runaround in 1980.... I was in the audience for one of the episodes, clearly not this one !
There are more videos from Runaround on this channel, you might just be on one of them
It’s as if Men and Work and The Police had a mutant love child. Amazing they survived.
Men @ work. FFS
is that george harrison
@@joeyorjohanna it is George yes.

Very interesting. Xtc meets the jam and throw in the beat too. Glad these 2 found their way in the 80s

Would love a cover of this song from Franz Ferdinand
You got me on this one 😂
U r 1000% correct ! ❤🎉
wow, nailed it. love you
Tears for Fears came a long way from those days. I never knew that they started in the late 70s. I always thought they started in the early 80s.
Roland was mm away from smashing the neck of that Telecaster 😮
Telecaster ?
That's either a Burns, a Hofner or some 60's-70's Japanese Guyatone or Teisco but I can assure you that is not a Fender Telecaster.
@patrickmichaelspencecooler4768 I don't know what I was thinking when I posted that, it's not even a Fender headstock, pickups etc 😱😬

I can imagine him effing and blinding under his breath.😂😂😂
I could have sworn the host was Allen Ford!
Will you fkin kids sit dan
Wow, flute being cool!!
shades of Jethro Tull...
Especially at that time - the ultimate 60s/prog instrument in the new wave era!
Eu tinha 6 anos nessa época !! 😅
this band’s name was The Graduate (before they called themselves Tears For Fears)
have the 10" album on vinyl and is one of my treasured belongings. Found it at a local record store (ska category) in New Jersey of all places.
So that’s where my copy ended up!! 😂
There is a photo of Curt and Roland at an early 80s King Crimson concert, totally enraptured. That explains how the went from this basic musical structure, to the more complex Tears For Fears arrangements.
I'm reminded a bit of Nine Below Zero in this, with a hint of Ian Anderson. Catchy tune, too.
Yeah I can see the NBZ look and the flute is more Ian Anderson than any other band
That Burns guitar kicks ass.
I can hear the voices of Tears For Fears in this clip! Very Well Done Guys!!
"Everybody Wants to Rule the Playground".
Now. That was really weird

Punk, not even close. Disco…yes.
@throbbinwoodofcoxley6830 no, totally wrong beat for disco. Thank heavens.
They got lazy.
I was getting Madness vibes from that choreography
I loved watching this performance. At this early stage of their musical career they had no idea how big they would become.
TFF is my favorite band since forever!
Roland and Kurt are amazing songwriters, performers and musicians! This was great to see 😃🤩
Wow. Then suddenly, the flute played itself.
The magic of television 😅😅😅
F*** the f***** flute and sodding TV. It's all bs!
It was the resurgence of the Magic Flute from H.R. Pufenstuf😂
That magical tambourine flute combo..
He got into the tambourine too much and forgot the flute 😂
Roland desde el inicio de si carrera, seguro de su mismo,con mucho aplomo, cómodo en el escenario,cómo dominandolo, conquistando al público!
Gracias, por ver y comentar.
I can definitely hear their ground work here, just amazing talents. Don't forget how U2 started too.
Kurt and Roland are such a talent, thank you for all your fantastic music guys . They were absolutely epic in the 80s heyday
I wish there was more swaying in this performance. It could use more swaying.
Conversely, it has just the right amount of cowbell.
Adoro esa banda ¡¡ y obvio a los Tears for fears, aquí se nota que Curt y Roland han dado su vida por hacer música, respetos totales.
Wow! I’ve never seen this before, thanks for digging this up😊
I'm glad you watched and enjoyed this video Brian
I find it oddly interesting
I keep going back to it
Priceless!
The kids in the audience don't look like they're too in to it, but I guarantee you they love TFF now.
You can already see very clearly that Curt and Roland were a cut above the other folks in the band. I wonder what happened to them. Love it.
Wow! Never heard this song before!! What a rare treat!!👌😎👍
What a great treat🥴🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣it’s terrible…it’s made my day chuckling at this…so in that respect..I agree👍🤪
Kick out the style!
Bring back the jam!
Sowing the seeds of love
Thank you for uploading this, it's great when people share these, it's my first time seeing it
They remind me of the early XTC, especially the guitar and the singing.
1:38, I went back in time and told them to work on their middle 8's, they took the advice.
This song is so cahtchy, and the moves are epic lmao
Thanks for watching and commenting John
i'm entranced by how angry/intense that lead vocalist is, he's performing at an entirely different level from everyone else in that room.
Must've scared the hell out of the kids...
It's Roland Orzabal, futur lead composer and singer of Tears For Fears

Great find! Actually having been through Big Chair etc my fave album is actually Roland's own "Elemental" with "Mr Pesssimister" being a fave.
