OMG !! I'm 58 and would go dancing till 3am again having dance clubs to go to for our age group !! Music does keep you young !! Cheers to all you 80s music lovers ..
It was such an exciting time to be young. 😊 I'd go back in a heartbeat if I could.
@@rw8733 It was a epic decade, I miss the clubs, the fashion, the music and most of all I miss MTV. Me and my friends would hang out in our basement watching 120 Minutes on Saturday night.
I'm 58 also. We were on the edge of becoming ...what we are. But that energy of the world waiting. No bell bottoms but shoulder pads.
80s was second British Invasion. 60s the first.
Awww my youth. I’m 52. A bit younger but we LOVED this time, I remember the night MTV came online like it was yesterday.
there are.. but its rare
Not only one of the coolest songs of the 80s but one of the best hair style's too. You could totally rock that in 2024.
No doubt about it
Great time for big hair bands.
damn...hell yeah.
RIP Sally Venue-Berg (Passed in 2015). An amazing percussionist. Just watch and listen to her here on the drums..
She does a very good Job on the Drums, she was very talented. Very sad, she lost the World to soon. 😢 But now i believe (i'm not very religious) she is in Heaven and plays the Drums in Heaven.
By the Way Information Society is cool and the Music too, i love all Kind of electronic, melodic Music, from yesterday and from today. Greetings from Germany.
What happened to her?
They were all great, but she was in the zone, couldn't take my eyes off of her. She had her own it factor!
@@michaelmarshall5438cierto yo toco o me muevo jajaja y ella lo hace todo genial
The percussions in this particular song hit pretty frickin hard. Differently, but hard nonetheless
This is one of those 80s hits that got everybody up on the dance floor at the clubs!!!!! 😎👍
Totally!! This song rocks!!!!!!!❤❤❤
Only in america
The sound of 1984 (aka Spk) ,by 1987 we we're in full new beat and Acid over here in Europe
I was into metal at the time but even my music Nazi friends got excited when this came on the radio.
Bad asz lucky peeps who got to experience that night scene. I was too too lil to go clubing😅. But as a 4 year old my club was @ the crib with em hotty babysitters.
I made about 20 copies of this cassette tape in 1988, being the first kid in my class to get it. Those were the days man.
No brasil também foram de arrebentar
Why ?
It was literally on the radio every 5 minutes
This band was very successful in Brazil too.
I have the two best vinyls of this band
I was a poor teenager in Brazil, so in the 90s I only had cassette tapes recorded by richer friends, and a Chinese cassette player, which consumed batteries in less than an hour.
Right on man
Heard this (complete with original video!) on a disc drive, an attachment made for the Sega Genesis in the late 80’s/early 90’s 😅
Shivers watching this in 2023.
Great live performance of an iconic song.
2024 watching it!
Hard to believe these dudes were from Minneapolis and not the UK
i met way back right before whats on your mind?
It was never easy bringing the Studio to the Stage.
They worked their A$$es off for this performance. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
You bring up the real important issue. The essence of producing the music in that era was really trying to get over the problem of Studio to Stage. Every single instrument was electronic and that was the issue for so many groups. It seemed like every show produced a new problem. Very good point!!
❤❤
they could've recorded the track to DAT and mime all the way, but they chose the hard, difficult route. God Bless them, hope many of todays artists took these risks also.
@@fdauhajre I can't remember if this was before or after the Milli Vanilli scandal. They turned lip sync into a four letter word.
I need that midi drumset
Wildest thing for me is: how little the crowd is actually reacting to the performance. Not because they're bored, but because they're mesmerized. Enthralled.
Pretty fuckin' cool what an effect music can have on people.
One of the best new wave group artist of the 80s
Still stands to this very day.
I remember when this hit the clubs in NYC in '88. Peeps went nuts. It was almost as addictive the all the coke we were inhaling. Gotta say I'm really impressed with how tight this performance is. It's even better than the studio version. And the lead singer's hair is bangin'.
Spock is disappointed. We Vulcans allow the music to get us high. Unfortunately, so many of you humans require additional stimulation. Even with my half human ancestry, I don't understand why you don't allow the "pure energy" of the song to speak for itself.
Pure energy 🖖
"In the 1967 Season 1 episode "Errand of Mercy," Spock and Captain Kirk visit the planet Organia, where their citizens have advanced beyond the need for physical bodies. When two of them vanish in front of them, Spock says, 'Fascinating. Pure energy.'"@@nickystellabotte6331
Best hair and look in general💥👍 I'd rock that shit today 🎈
Paul Robb (red shirt here) the songwriter and the mastermind of the Information Society awesome sound.
Didn't care for the Insoc without Kurt. But I didn't like the Kurt only era either. They are both important. But for me Kurt is the X factor.
Wow! just Wow sir. That sound and the intro in this version of the song. Awesome.
Thank you! Thank you! Always been a fan since 1990, when I was just a 5 year old.
This was an amazing live performance. Killed it!
This is my first time watching a live performance of this song and it's pretty incredible to see. Bring this music back!
You can't. The youth have been thoroughly afrosized.
I concur
When I moved to New York in 1991, my upstairs neighbor was the bass player for the IS. Nicest most chill guy, always quiet and respectful.
This song was a determining factor in how me and my friends built out car stereos in the early 90's. I was the first to cut up my front door cards and doors to fit 6x9 Pioneer 3-Ways. They were amp'd too! I can tell you that I blew those speakers like 3 times cause of this song. I could never get it loud enough and then pop goes the speakers lol. What a great time to be alive! Still jam this song often in my old age, lol. Yes, 45 is old now but I am still young.
55 here and I'm aging in reverse
Dang I miss that decade. Class of '89. 80's will forever be baddest decade ever!!
I started highschool in 1979 and graduated university in 1989. "Last Class of The Eighties", so this genre is near and dear to my heart.
New Wave / Alternative was as disruptive a musical style as rock and roll was in the 60s.
Pushed the boundaries and forged new paths.
I now understand how my parents felt when they as adults listed to the music that defined their youth.
Class of 90. We thought music would inherently get better, nope. Lol.
No auto tune,simple raw talent. And it was done in the MTV studio too
I can hear who's watching which mean Insoc is that GOOD
When electronic music was played LIVE and with INSTRUMENTS!!!
ိ

It was nice for Spock to make a cameo appearance. Lol
Back then groups played more in the clubs, worked their way up, and honed their craft.
Though to be fair, Information Society was using sequencers to play some of the backing track. Which isn’t a knock, since groups like this made music based on a lot of sampling and collage like synths and sequencing on their albums. I.e, there wasn’t a person playing the track from scratch to begin with, so it’s not a ‘cheat’ to do it live.
My gosh look
ah yes.... that industrial sound ! Love the 80 ' s
Information Society - there will never be another like it. In my opinion, for electronic infused music, this band has set the standard for Excellence.
This never gets old !
NEVER!
I've been playing this everyday for weeks
@@emiliaganchorre it's like therapy!!!
Ta triste? Colaca uma musica do information que tudo melhora.
My first concert as a kid was Information Society. I loved them so much.
beautiful voice!
Stellar Technical Performance. Pre auto-tune!!! I remember crushing it to this jam at the club back in the day when this was fresh. Good times.
It was kinda a Hip-hop, Crip walk, Retro, Punk vibe back then. I feel "Raves" & "modern shuffle" is the evolution of this. Legwork always has a place. Always has.
God, What a time to be alive...I was born in '74 so I was 6 when the 80's roll up. What a music soundtrack to my childhood. I miss it big time!
These are the songs that keep going through generations.
I was fortunate to see this band live last weekend. They were AMAZING 😍
FAR OUT wish I was there
Best decades《80's & 90's》never more in this World 🌐
Loved this and love this video, wow...lets jump in a time machine and go on back to the 80s!!! Who is with me? lol :) Peace.
The guy playing the Keytar is my dad.
I was in my early 20's in the early 80's. even though I was a metal guy I liked this stuff. Looking back now, it's SOOO much better than any of today's CRAP by a million miles....And what great performance!!
A fart sounds better than today’s crap!!! I wish hip hop would die out. That’s right up there with disco as the worst form of noise ever created.
@@cyrbuzz6615 Yeah you and me both. No chance on the H-hop. It's being pushed hard by the main stream. Aside from sounding awful, such a toxic message..
This is one of the greatest performances of this song. The power & energy👍👍 dude went off at 4:40
Stationed in Japan in 88. This song in heavy club rotation. 3-4 times a night! Packed the floor every time.
I was 17 at the time. I'm listening to all of the oldies these days 😂
This song did very well in Japan #5
When new, and the first few years, MTV was simply awesome.
This live extended version sounds unreal!
Please someone take me back to the 1980's
I miss the 80's.....
i always thought this was a brit synth pop knock off, but it slaps live. His voice is really good, the band is tight and the sound mix is excellent.
This is, without a doubt, the most METAL new wave somg ever!!
Always amazing to see artists/bands remix their most popular songs LIVE. This one is def a hidden gem
My favorite wild hair of all time!
Band ahead of its time.
The 80's... Whether you lived it or NOT.
NOthing cringier than people fawning over a decade.
Oh the days of the mall and radio shack and people trying to make this on those boards 😂 what a time to be alive . Makes me cry to see what's happened to this world
The laziness and thought processes have gone crazy.
miss Radio Shack, my local store was run by weird eastern European dude that wore a white lab coat to work. He was cool though, he helped you fix your electronics on the spot or told you how to do it at home if he was busy. I don't think we'll ever witness that level of customer service ever again.
I am 44 and i do remember the 80s. Mostly 1985-1989
I like the live version of this. His voice is much deeper in the final recording.
OMG, haven't heard this song in 30 years! Love it!
RIP Sally I miss you so much, sorry I was not there for you at the time you needed me
Can you give me more info
My childhood right here. I remember recording every version of this song on my cassette tape.
Hermosa voz! Un flaco divino, también ❤
Information Society got me into electronic music and now EDM.
I miss the 80's and 90's !!!!! Kurt was so handsome!!!!!
Wow!!! This was literally an extended music version live on stage...amazing!
He had the best hair ever
Be sure to pause, and acknowledge that they are playing this live, ZERO pre-recording, and they are hitting every single element of the studio recording.
These guys crushed this.
I have no doubt there was a computer with MIDI sequenced instruments beneath SOME live work.
I fail to see what's impressive about that. Do you actually think they're playing the synth and samples themselves? No. That's not how it worked then and rarely how it works now without a hell of a lot of equipment. They're playing about 25% of what we're hearing. You said "ZERO pre-recording". There is an INSANE amount of pre-recording.
@@Matt_237 ⬆️ he knows 👍🏼
Music is the only time machine we have.
Saw them live in Atlanta, GA in the early 90's. They were incredible. Performed with a few other acts including Anything Box.
1st time I see this type of band playing live totally. That can say much of the professional level they have, and the respect for their public. I enjoy this music in the Chilean parties, in the 80's and 90's.
A dynamic, electric performance that stands alone in their genre and remains as relevant today as when they first performed it! More please!
Awesome performance. This band doesn’t get enough credit. Their 90’s albums were very cutting edge, and employed multimedia techniques that were 10 years ahead of their time.
Running…..great song by Info Society
Such a great song! I've listened to the studio mix so many times! I still use it as a test track for testing a new speaker system. It's just so clean! As for this version, never heard it before. So cool!
This is so bittersweet. On one hand, I am extremely glad I was around in the 80s to enjoy such outstanding music; but on the other it is a reminder of how badly music sucks these days!
I agree. The 80s were the greatest for music. It's definitely gone down hill.
You're right.Mainly because of the extreme rap. Was on the rail train and a guy was playing rap. N this, N that. Suck this ???? No joking. Unreal but REAL ✝🙏🙇
Great, creative stuff was made back then, despite the budget. Not to mention the variety of vocal styles and personalities, whereas, nowadays, it feels like you're always seeing/listening to a brand new copy of a major contemporary artist, both lacking musical substance and decent melodies. I miss the expectation and the thrill I used to have while waiting for my favorite songs to play on the radio, and my K7s box was my version of the treasure trunk. I still try to listen to online live radios every now and then, but, my gosh, it always comes with a bad "surprise". Can't understand why, especially in pop music, things need to be so "copy-paste', the vocals so annoying, with rubbish melodies and "songs". There are the exceptions, of course. Sadly, exceptions they are. On the other hand (thankfully), the streaming services/TH-cam and some online thematic radios allow me to dig into it and find there's still so, so many great bands and fantastic songs from those days to discover (or rediscover). So, the good news is that not everything is lost for us, haha. It's quite fun and cute when I see teens commenting how they wished they lived in the 80s, or share the same interest and passion about that era.
Concordo com vc 👏👏
you arent looking in the right places...
My childhood soundtrack. 80 era was something different and wonderful. True freedom of expression and discovery.
Esta Banda se Adelanto en el Tiempo "Realmente Increíble" Ojala Alguna Persona Pudiera Remasterizarlo en Vídeo y Sonido!!!!! Hasta Dejaron en Silencio a la Gente del ESTUDIO!!!!
Pienso igual, estubieron muy adelantados en esa epoca,principalmente el vocalista, mucho profesionalismo,me fascina,me sigue sorprendiendo hoy 09/10/2022,quien mas?
Adelantados a su tiempo! Están justo a tiempo!
Saw these guys live in a small dance club in Portland Oregon my senior year in high school, 1989... One of my fave to see live! ❤
Lucky
I love how this performance is so poppy and so noisy at the same time.
I’ve always loved this song as a kid
still till this day...wicked cool band!
lnarvaez1794 Agreed!!
This album is a classic, with Hack not too far behind.
1988. Such a long time ago.
Just crank it up and enjoy that pure 80's sound...drop it with depeche mode and it is an incredible mix!
In my head it was 10 years ago... Time flies!
The 80s were the best! In music, we had it all! Plus the birth of and music hey day of MTV!
One of the best Techno Bands of the 80s. Very underrated
I’m so glad they reunited and have a solid string of new albums they’ve released. They surely stood the test of time.
No auto tune back then. Just pure talent!
Real talent.
My favorite Information Society song.. . greetings of Peru.
The synthesizer, the must underrated musical instrument in history.
Can still remember these guys at Disney land in 1989 ! They popped out of a mushroom stage ! Good times 😱
Awesome performance.
(Sigh..) I so miss the 80s....
Hoje, em pleno século 21, #2024/07 e pra mim foi como ontem ter participado do show. Um sonho realizado. Amo Information Society sempre sempre sempre amarei.
#geraldolopesrooss cadê você meu amor??????💔💔💔💔💔💔😔😔😔
still in 2018!
Information society
2021
Actual LIVE performance!
When this was released, I truly dug it. It was original and even ahead of it's time. I even saw them live on the tour for their debut album. Then, for whatever strange reason, they disappeared. I was hoping for a follow-up album. I have seen their keyboard player Amanda in recent years, playing with the forever cool PSYCHEDELIC FURS...
They didn't disappear. They put out several more albums. They just released one a couple of years ago.
reminds me a lot of the tompson twins.... which were ahead of them.
HACK was there second album. No where near as good as the first.
@@bepitan just what I thought. Defo Thompson Twins vibe going on.
@@erikmunson2292 They disappeared from spotlight...
Grew up on this stuff as a baby born in the mid-late 80s, in my DNA
Where is the damn time machine I want to go to New York and Hollywood in 1988😢😢😢
what a voice!!!!!
Great talent live amazing and nowadays they call them artists this is real music they we're way ahead their time real music
Brasil ama vcs.Banda maravilhosa tempos bons
Senior ‘88!
An all time favorite! Drummer is badass!
Back in the late 80’s and early 90’s they would play this in the skating rink
Oh man this is graat....when music was LIVE!...These boys performing LIVE.....they nailed it.
They're so young! And very aware of how they appear visually live. The huge "gift" of music videos and cable/satellitre tv.
Gotta love the 80's and this music continues to rock now in 2021!
Pure Generation X Junior High School memories!!! 🎉
Wow his voice at live is superb!
Now Thats music!! When MTV actually cared about the music!
This is easily my favorite version of this song.
Also I need to take hairstyling tips from Kurt.
I remember this guy. I was all like " he's trying too much to be Johnny Lyden" ....PIL.... Information Society....
Same look and hair. Club music for mdma dance parties. Ect.
I still like their one hit,tho. Nostalgia has entered the room,hello sir!
