Magazine 'Shot By Both Sides' live Belgian TV 1979

The sound technician sucks

Greatest song ever made by a walking mile. And I wasn't a massive Magazine fan . Quality personified. My band have finished our gig with this since we were teens. And we're now 50 odd year old dudes. 🙏🏻

Arguably the best riff ever!!!

The lead break will never be bettered ever! Still gets me every time! Fukin phenomenal 🖤🔥💥

When I was young I always said I would get the Devoto / Eno hairstyle when mine thinned. Alas, that happened so fast that I didn't have a chance to remember that promise.

Radiohead said that this song inspired a riff in their song Just.

This was such an exciting single for that time - Still sounds great over four decades later....

Magazine 'Shot By Both Sides' live Belgian TV 1979 2214PM 12.9.23 HEY MAN.......... i bought in fabric... and i am this band's ultimate fan. though can tell you nothing about it or it's membership... what was goin' on with the sound guy, with the elongated and echoing wordage..... shohohohohhot.. etc?

They were so tight and timing was perfect

can't stand this shit ads

Simply badass.

Used to play this song to death on 12 inch!

"Shot by both sides. I don't ask who is doing the shooting."

Ah Back in the days when bands had to have someone who could sing and people who could play their instruments

Terrible,

Terrible-

McGeoch Is wonderfullllll 🏴‍☠️I love John ♥️ 🌹 RIP 🌹

Outside The Clash my favourite punk single - great B side too.

The bassline is awesome . Pity he never appears on the video

One of the great bands of the time. Personally, I think they were better than Joy Division though I doubt many agree.

Young McGeoch!

Can anyone inlighten me as to what he says before they start playing? "_??_ you've got about 15 seconds"

I can hear the influence on early Simple Minds here....hear?

Priceless footage.

Awesome!!

Magazine, forever expressing my feelings. Somewhere between the waitress and her table.

Un pezzo della madonna!

This is great 👍

Wot an f-ing great band. Intellectual and melodic.

Wow

John McGeoch ♥

Why does he look so beautiful in this? He looks gorgeous

Thanks .

Dobby, the early years.

Brillant

Great bass playing on this, the song was a popular feature of The Hitmen ( ex Radio Birdman, pre Hoodoo Gurus members ) live set in the suburbs of late 70's Australia.

It's like Brian Eno and Johnny Rotten had a test tube baby

John McGeoch was an incredible artist!! Very original way of playing the guitar!!! R.I.P.

Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. I am off to listen to 'Telephone Operator'.

One of the coolest bands, EVER.

Saw magazine in Belgium opening. For pil. Of course magazine. Where 10 x better

Descansa en poder.
Gracias por vivir.

I love their debut album but everything else they did was garbage.

McGeoch!

Le jeune public belge de l'époque n'a pas trop l'air de comprendre ce qui se passe 🤪

<3
