Blue Monday Live

Stupid question, but what's the best live performance of Blue Monday? As we all know they messed it up on a few occasions.

The best take i've heard is from Salle Villar Maison de la Culture, 11/12/1985.

Any ideas?

Good question, Was it better before Roger Lyons' involvement? No in my opinion.

tough one though, there was good uns before he overamped it

Jury's out

loved it first hac outing in jan 83, loved nottingham 84 when Bernard played cow bell over it, yea it was ok live.

how does it feel

Tolworth 1983 Rock Around The Clock 1985 Reading 1989

All stand out to me. Wish I had a soundboard recording of Readin 89

Hollywood Palace Nov 86 was alright, fm broadcast.

Kilkenny 83 was, erm.. interesting shall we say... not helped when Radio 1 broadcasted the gig at christmas 83 they accidentally played their news jingle over the top for a couple of seconds

I actually like Phil's guitar work over it at the Finsbury 2002 gig. might be on my own on that one

Music for Miners, Royal Festival Hall 14.5.84. Includes a spectacular belch into the microphone.

For me it's either Reading 1993 or Goldcoast Big Day Out 2002. So there we are, one Rogered version and one unRogered version.

Love the Pumped Full of Drugs one a lot too.

Reading 1989. Full on batshit mental. Wish I had that gig on MP3.

The PFD version wins it for me, the heavy electronic snare shags the bass beautifully and the icing on the cake? "Turn this light off you cunt"
