Bloody hell I’m 11 again and it’s summer 1979. I can smell the hay and feel the wind as I ride my bike, with my tape recorder hanging off a handlebar playing this.
What i liked about the Peel sessions is that it was raw and unpolished, capturing the real soul of the artist before the nob twiddlers got involved.
So many amazing performances by so many amazing artists. All my favorites are here.
LOL,..."nob twiddlers". I will use that phrase for the rest of my life.
@@SaintMartins - funny right...i have "twiddled my nob" at least a time or two...
@@SaintMartins same here.... love that term. I wonder what he calls Rappers :P
That's true even the punk bands demos sound slower and unmixed.
Paul Gardiner Took His Own Life After Struggling With Heroin ...Gone but not forgotten
Que pena
They are ahead these days, imagine back then how much they were ahead...Gary, you are a GENIUS! 🖤
He certainly was a head of his time. He took electronic music to another level, although thanks to Kraftwerk
Let’s say he was the most known . Robert Rental , John Foxx, Thomas Leer , Throbbing Gristle , Duet Emmo , Cabaret Voltaire , Clock DVA ….. they did also fantastic things but not so many people know them .
Arise Sir John Peel for another fantastic session. one of the countless times he spotted a band before they become famous. This session has the best version of I Nearly Married a Human.
Numan, like every successful artist, took from and was inspired by a collection of sources.
BUT....Numan brilliantly invented a new pop sound, image and delivery.
He did not invent electronic pop, he created his own style; sound, stories, image, lyrics, live shows/performance style.
Jeez, I remember recording this session off the Peel show with my cassette recorder. It got many plays after; loved this session. Tubeway Army were the first band I liked that none of my friends were into. Managed to convert a few when Replicas came out, shortly after this.
The brilliant John Peel discovering Tubeway Army, he also played my single a few times which changed my life. Thanks Peely rip
Trading In Guilt?
if he liked it,he would play it.
For a second n 79-80 I put aside DB & became Numan obsessed, the real electronic frontman... now at 56 I've rediscovered the genius of those first 3-4 releases. The concert from 1979 is the greatest....
@@LarzGustafsson Has to be David Bowie
@@storybecWhy not have both? What’s wrong with you people? 😂
The Explosion of synth pop! I was 12 when Are Friends Electric came out and i was obsessed with it, such a good era early 80's +
the music industry and also millions of fans owe that man so much for the band's he brought to light he had such a diverse range and a fantastic ear.
Proud crickets-chirp. Hopefully there's a statue of John Peel in some place of honor. This kicks ass as do most Peels; thanks, we salute you
Jess, Gary, Paul, making one of the best bands ever!
Gary Numan totaly underested british creative hero - inspirational man.
Just been in my time machine
this is wonderful,live keyboards sound fantastic
He he I was about 5 yrs old when I first heard this and was captivated, and it motivated me to take up music, now I'm nearly 50 and still listening to it - just mental (and a bit sad at the same time).
"Down In The Park" is one of my favorite songs, no matter the version. This is a good 'un, though!
Foo Fighters are shit!
We are here to serve you
has been interesting to see DIOP progress from this/replicas to the full fan favourite/sound on later (savage etc) tours.. still like the original tho'
Nothing like Gary Numan singing to a polymoog and minimoog, absolutely classic.
peel the last &only good radio dj
Marc Riley isn't good?
hold no truck with d.j's... only listen if i have to sit outside in sun other wise i can't bear it... listening to music i can ill afford...
Absofuckinglutely.
@@JammyRand Ooh yeah. Read up about Marc Riley. I'm from Australia.He likes Cocteau Twins, Massive Attack, King Creosote and others. Now that's a good thing.
Let’s agree that he was ‘the best’
Love Gary Numan!! He rocks nd continueS to roCk tO thIs daY!!
fuck yeah! :) He was an innovator without many challengers. A Bowie of the electronic post punk era. I love seeing his live stuff- there's no fucking about .Raw and beautiful :)
I most probably listened to this session back in January 1979. It was common to go to bed back then with a tiny transistor radio and listen to John Peel under the bed sheets. This was my 'apprenticeship' with music as a young lad not quite a teen. He played Buzzcocks, Stiff Little Fingers and loads of stuff that wouldn't get played in the day time. He once played Stiff Little Fingers Straw Dogs and said if you didn't like it, buy it just for the B side (Can't Play Crap On The Radio, should have been the A side!). Rest in peace John.
Can’t ‘say’ crap on the radio !
Was 16 in 79 but from been 14 was always in bed from 10 for John peel
14 minutes of magic.
I'm going to see Gary next week at the 02 Academy Bournemouth ((R)Evolution Tour). Started browsing relative links and came across this. Wow! I bought all the early albums and remember the Tubeway Army vinyl album which captured some early interpretations of later, reworked material (Everyday I die). Agree with the comments here, the synths sound as fresh and futuristic today as they did over 40 years ago. I saw Gary live in 84 and again in 08. Both were exceptional gigs, and very loud! Looking forward to joining the Numanoids next week for a much anticipated concert. :)
What quality and this was in 1979 so glad I was young enough to appreciate it.
I saw Tubeway Army a few times at Bones in Reading,when they were a two-chord punk band (around the time of "That's too bad" and "Bombers") ...His "Living Ornaments" live release was the first ever live in concert video release,by the way...so I read in Wikipedia.
You saw history. So Jealous! I had to wait until 1980 when he came to Sydney with the Living Ornaments tour.
Right out of the gate Gary's kicking it with Me I Disconnect From You, this was such a great session.
Great version of 'Me I Disconnet You'
Their music rings more true today that it did back then. They owned synth music. Those vocals burn deep.
In the song "I nearly married a human",
I still can hear a lot of David Bowie's
" Low" album !
Especially the second ("Warszawa") side !
mfg. ;-) PGS !
I saw an interview with him not too long ago, he still caught up with Bowie’s Berlin Period, I am glad I am not the only one!
...that'd be Eno then. Ahem. 🤭
58 year old fan here after reading the autobiography. I nearly married a human, grandeur on an epic scale. Just scintillating.
The Peel sessions were always bloody good value. That showed launched many a career. Pity Gary got sniped by jealous musos and vindictive music press members the way he did. They put his career in suspended animation for years.
I agree Mark. I was, at the time, a massive David Bowie fan. I was so influenced by the music press at the time, I was a closet Numan fan, with copies of all his vinyl material at that time. I am now delighted he's making a return. Let me tell you why. It is artists (story tellers), like Numan, that make this world a better place. I've heard his new album"Savage" and it has help plug a whole left by Bowie, in my life.
The irony is that Gary Numan is doing perfectly fine now. He's widely respected, releasing successful albums, and he's still performing to large crowds. It worked out well for him.
@@stevehughes1390 I have never really understood the comparisons to Bowie?
I feel that, more than ever. He was really picked on by the UK music press and they had so much power and influence then, as much as I loved the writing of many of the journalists the whole system was rotten. Managers pulled in favours shamelessly (like Suede's 'best new band in Britain' cover store in the Melody Maker) and Editors made calculated decisions to damage careers (Danny Kelly's vendetta against Morrissey in the NME). And Gary Numan was very unfairly bullied and mocked in that end of the music media, they made it very personal I feel sorry for him.
@@VincentRE79 They were both "aliens" was the gist of it as I recall.
It might help you figure out the scenario if you also check out other
accused "Bowie clones" like Roderick Falconer...
Dílo skladatele žije tak, jak ho vidíme my. Není omezena na to, co to je, ani na toho, kdo to vyrobil, je to také vytvořeno tím, kdo to slyší. Hudba, malba a sochařství jsou prostorem tázání a meditace, kde lze významy, které jim jsou připisovány, kdykoli vytvořit a vrátit zpět 🧙♂
I’m 14 again and I’ve got my radio under my pillow so as my parents can’t hear it as Peel was on so late……
This is so good.
I miss the Peel Sessions.
Raw, 'unfiltered', unique.....awesome.
BETTER THEN THE STUDIO VERSION
Not quite but close
SO DELICIOUS FOR MY EARS & SOUL!!Z LUV THESE GUYS!!! I DIG THE LOGIC!!! SPOCK WOULD JAM TO THIS!!! :0)
changed my life when i heard this
Drums sound superb
I finally broke down and bought: Tubeway Army & Gary Numan on iTunes. I bout the original tubeway army album for 2 bux from a cut out bin in the early 80's. it became like one of my favorite albums tho. it was $9.99 on iTunes. besides the original 12 songs there are 13 more live tracks. I am way pleased. I think it would make any gary numan fan happy. I am a bassist and I used to make all my abnd mates check out the original tubeway army. I was never in a new wave band either. the first band I played in was a blues band. then all metal and thrash bands. I just thought it was so well put together. and of course gary numans singing. ; I did tour with a tubeway type act on the same bill as us when I was 16 tho. it was this kid tim he used all synths and sequencers (it was amazing 1984, I still can't figure all that out)!

+gregory clewell I don't buy much stuff off iTunes. I miss that old tape tho. I usually like to buy cd's still. I would have paid $9.99 for the original 12 songs at this point. the live stuff. well sounds real live. it wasn't even recorded off a sound guys board or something. fans will love the stuff tho. to me the live stuff is all a bonus andi would never have heard most of those songs otherwise. still it sounds like when we just recorded shows on a boombox when I was in my bands. kinda neat tho. you can hear the audience and everything. kinda puts ya there. I was 11 years old en it was recorded and didn't even know about tubeway army. even if I did my parents never would have let me fly to England from toms river new jersey and check out the show. ;-)
+gregory clewell All top tunes.
+gregory clewell I had the album when I was 16, it has amazing memories for me. I just had one of those moments where I felt I had to relive them. So I totally get that. Although I'd probably try to find the vinyl ;)
+gregory clewell You are my God right now, I struggled to find the list.
great astounding cool xlnt , no more words can describe what gary numan has ''put into''.. (must be a better description/words for it , because it is sooo important what he 'did') .. the music industry , no , put into 'music', as a whole , is more appropriate . It is also very appropriate that JOHN PEEL, made this session happen , because , on january 10th 1979 , when he recorded this set , for the BBC Radio One ''John Peel Show'' , the rest of the world were totally ''un-aware'', of this band from London calling themselves ''TUBEWAY ARMY''..... they had not charted any of their records at this moment in time ... it is so appropriate that gary numan , and , John Peel , made this together , it is a true testament , to Mr. John Peels vision , and ear for real talent , to find an unknown , underground energy , before anyone else...... TUBEWAY ARMY charted four months AFTER THIS , with 'are friends electric,?' , . .. the rest is now in history . .
the plan great album
He Downloaded his Awesome Electronic Aura into music without realising so .
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful session.
John Peel , what a legend .
R.I.P John.
epic monsters of music!
Marvellous!
I really like this.
эта музыка будет всегда модной❤
Lovelovelovovelove
Brilliant ! Love it then and still now ...this seemes like future while still old hippies smelled around
saw gary live a few years ago in chicago, amazing show. this one is new to me, and as usual john peel never disappoints.
Best of British talent
I enjoyed that.
Thank you for all of your uploads. I really appreciate it!
Mil Gracias!!!
This is a great session by the band, really showed the potential coming through.
Amazing.
Down in the park is a great song
素晴らしい...
This is good good gooooood
*Are 'Songs' Eclectic*
I Love Gary Numan from the beginning to now Man of the Future!
Maybe sometimes too far ahead in that times but brilliant !!!
Back then realy outstanding songs/tunes !!!
Unluckily they've received the same underrated standing, as Gary Numan had too !!
Nowadays(although he never was away in all these years-Thanx God!!!) luckily Gary Numan returned with partly excellent music!!!
And finaly he can receive some respect for his work !!!
Luckily it seems that there's some kind of "justice" !!!
I saw a clip in which Trent Reznor and Newman rocked out live....I was like< see i can talk about it now!
This is so good.
Brilliant Band
Hah this is great quality ❤
Paul was the start and evolution of Tubewayarmy as was Jess .
Inolvidable, un clásico
Gary was never the same after the Tubesteak Army!
every peel´s a great one again, h.m.

Escuchar Gary Numan en cuarentena, uno de los iniciadores del sonido vanguardista del new wave en los 80's, luego de 41 años extraordinaria grabacio en estudio
Cool bananas. Thanks for the upload.

I reckon John peel's garage be deemed a shrine 👍
keep em coming!
Oh Holy "Down In the Park"...
I'm in remission from a life-long condition called shyness. THX..
🔥 🔥 🔥
Beautiflul Mate
Sweet!
FAB.
If Gary Numan played the guitar, Paul Gardiner the bass, Jess Lidyard the drums, who played the synthesizers? Maybe was Chris Payne already added to the band?
Gary played synth and guitar, so it was just the three of them
@@Vibracobra23_Original Yes, in studio. But here in the live session for the John Peel show? G.N. could not have played the guitar and the synth at the same time. Add that some synth parts here seem too much complicated for his basic technique in playing keyboards.
A small minority of Peel sessions are genuinely live and the ones which are are usually those recorded at a much later date than this. They were generally recorded in a studio over a single day, so tended to have a raw quality, and a great many have overdubs. Ken Garner's book, which has transcripts of the original engineers' index cards, states that Gary played the synth and guitar. The BBC website states the same. The official release of this session (see Discogs) also states the same.
@@Vibracobra23_Original Ok, thank you!
Just realised that this is Vibracobra23 back. I thought they had stifled you. Welcome back I will be spending many a late night again listening to your uploads.
Hi...I always start re-uploading as soon as they shut me down...but this time I have them on three channels to spread the risk...so far it's worked
That's the way, great to see/hear thanks
Vibracobra23 Redux Keep fighting the power! This channel and the material you upload is too wonderful to be silenced! Especially with all the nonsense running amuck on YT without censorship these days. If only they were so eager to remove the junk. Love your stuff. Thanks!
@@Vibracobra23Redux can you tell me if Devo did a peel session ? Also what year if so alot of people don't seem to understand that BS on the radio was a joke that they are a amazing band who formed in the 1960s...
@@mercuryrising9174 No, unfortunately they never did a session
remember Numan Xing dance i saw on their stage in japan
Why would anyone not like this jam session. You have to of not been into EDM at all to of not loved this.
I turned off Gary Numan pretty quickly when I first heard him in the 80s. The music seemed so clinical. But this is excellent. The synths have an edgy sound and the songs and singing are compelling.
It was far more interesting than kraftwerk who really gave synths a cold name , it was interesting because he is discribing the revolt against technology , while kraftwerk used it as a religion
Awww jeah.
giii-yeeeeeaaahhh
fuck, I'd forgotten just how good Numan was back in the day. I still think down in the park was and is one of best songs ever written.
When the Tubesteak Army were at their peak!
super
dig it!
Great shit! Excuse my expression .....
Yeah good shit love e.m
The Peel Sessions, intransigently drifting toward exculpatory madness, moderated by a glass tether, single thread, a frustrated glissando arching achingly toward an indifferent atmosphere of nitrogen, aerosol, and hatred.
Lovely music Gary looks like a bit like David icke
Remember the slogan !
- Gary Numan is Tubeway Army -
mfg. ;-) PGS !
If you didn’t know better, you’d say the third song was written for Goldfrapp
