I was there. 15 years old. I’ve still got my Glasgow Apollo ticket & cassette recording. I’m now drumming in a new Sparks tribute band. We’re called Larks & putting our set together over the next few months, then we’ll start gigging. I hope all Glasgow Sparks fans will come to see us.
Thank you so much for uploading this video. F.W.I.W. it is one of my many favourite Sparks songs, but I have never seen this song being performed. I must check out the 21x21 concert videos to see if someone recorded the lads doing that song on the indiscreet night. However, once again, thank you very much for uploading.
I saw this on DKRC when it originally aired (I was a fairly new Sparks fan at the time - had just purchased Indiscreet and was anxious to see them perform) and I could've *sworn* that they'd performed live. It seems to me that "How Are You Getting Home" was extended and different than the album version....Russell and Ron did several more "How you gettin' home?" bits, where Russell sings the musical question and Ron hits those two chords, than shown here. This is probably an edited/dubbed copy.....?
Today he's wearing... eehhh, something else on his head. So silly, I will always love that voice even if he shares hairstyle with Homer Simpson! And that smile he has when he actually SMILES.
I raised my daughter on this music 🙆♀️👍🙏
Sorry, Russ, I can't take you up on that offer. You see....my baby's taking me home (repeat ad nauseam)
Ron and Russell are insane but I love them.
Long live Ron and Russell Mael! ❤️✨
Rest in peace Dinky.😔
for five instruments (one being Russell's voice) this song is and always will be an absolute EPIC
This video uses the original studio recording - the sound is not a live performance.
I'm sure they closed the show at the Glasgow Apollo in 1975 with this one. Brilliant end to a brilliant night.

Great UK back up..All the guys are Ace! Amazing!
Sparks is the soundtrack of the story of two brothers who tragically overdosed on Vitamin DGAF.
Agh that sweet sweet chorus-- too short!!! Beautiful
Listening to my favourite track from indiscreet January 2022 5 days before my birthday
Sparks for ever!

omg, Russell is so hyper, lol
heard this on Holy Motors... and apparently found the only copy of the song on youtube
🥱Give this dude some uppers.......
help russell looks like an animatronic BAAAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA
Best song on this album. Retained some Kimono DNA. They could have added a bit more.
This song sounds like an homage to TREX.
up next, the flying burrito bros. hahaha!
WOW, I can't think of many DKRC shows where the bands didn't play live, Unfortunate, because their earlier appearance was actually live.

Probably pre-recorded alt-versions like bands often did for TV like TToP :)
Probably was live on tv and the recorded version is just dubbed with the album versions
Russell seems a bit 'amped up' in this! Obviously a lip-synced performance tho a cool clip for Sparks fans.
It looks a lot more "live" than most of the clips we see.
Does anyone know what happened to the TH-cam video of Hospitality on Parade, taken from the same show?
And where’s my car?
Time to visit the barber, Russ?

This is the album version ..mimed...disappointed
goldieblue01 I don't mind that it's mimed because it lets Russell go a little bit crazy, ha ha ha!
