Shame that no one mentions Frank Maudsley much. He's such a good bassist and his energy on stage is awesome

Mr. Reynolds is such an under rated guitarist.

Young and full of energy! Mike Scores great writing and vocals/synth, Ali's steady, consistent Drum, Frank's Bass keeping up and Paul's golden gifted fingers. Underated! They'll remain a sound we'll hear for sometime.

Grammy for 'Best Rock Instrumental Performance' is an award that was given until 1989. A Flock of Seagulls was awarded in 1983 for this song. Pink Floyd, Jeff Beck, Art of Noise, Flaming Lips, Frank Zappa, YES, the Chemical Brothers, Brian Wilson and Bruce Springsteen were also given this award. Well done.

Do you all realise how good this is ?

Paul Reynold guitar work on this tune is unbelievable.

I love the way Reno adjusts his equipment. Without missing a beat. That would be quite a feat for today's musicians. LOL.. :-)

I agree Paul was so good and completely under rated

Paul Reynolds the Sound of AFOS!!

Paul is incredible ! He deserve for more respect.

The 80's were wonderful

Love them all but paul and frank kill it i can watch paul play all-day ❤😍

found out about these guys recently and can't get enough. the energy.

Grammy for Best Rock Instrumental 1981!! And rightfully so,,, Major song for the band that radio never played but should have.

You can see the love between Frank and Paul even today

Paul is a great guitarist of course but Frank bouncing around while playing bass is great to watch

Todos os integrantes dessa incrível banda são todos excelentes. Mas, não se pode negar que Paul Reynolds tem algo muito mais especial. Com esse seu estilo de sons da guitarra que o diferencia de todos os outros guitarristas já existentes. Genial! Esse som é de arrepiar. #A Flock Of Seagulls forever.

Best post punk/new wave instrumental ever. AFOS majestuosity

I was 15 at the time, and oh how I really wanted to go to the US Festival, particularly on that day they played (the New Wave Day), but my mom said no!!

What an Awesum Guitar riff song .. Paul such distinctive sound

I was able to go backstage to meet all the guys in the band it was a great concert back in the back in the 80s❤

these guys have awesome stage presence.

Im a kid of the 80's and AFOS well always be my favorite synth-pop band. Gary Numan Is right there with them

I wanted to go to this but I was graduating high school that weekend! Such great times. The music was the absolute best!

Love their positive tunes..😎

This is the song that won the group their only Grammy for best Rock Instrumental.

nothing will beat the eighties ! Go seagulls go !

I'm not very passionate about awards stuff, as I prefer listening to music on my own terms rather than go by popular opinion, but I love how this song makes me feel like I'm catching some gnarly waves on a beach in outer space. It ties in extremely well with the band name, and also makes me feel like I'm in my own 80's coming of age movie intro.

Paul es lo mejor de la banda ❤❤❤❤

This song is so cathartic. I find AFOS music soothing, it takes you away. Truly an experience.

Magnífica Música y Paul Reynolds guapísimooooo

What an amazing band. So perfect. 👍

1983 the year I was born. Awesome 😎👍💯

Fantastic. '83 dude. Nuff said. Thanks for putting this up.

Won a Grammy for this one

Wishing ....I could go back to the 80's and these lads were young again

Now that's playing Happiness in one perfect little tune.

Paul the magician

Desde hace muchos años que escucho este tema en vivo de esta version, a pesar que he cambiado de celulares esta cancion es mi DESPERTADOR. Es fenomenal, tiene una vibra muy positiva. No se exactamente por qué le pusieron de nombre a la cancion DNA , solo me hago la idea que es x el DNA (ADN). Está cancion es la escencia de la banda, donde sin participación de la voz, trasmite su música

What a poor ovation for such a wonderful instrumental song.

was there they ruled it!

A Flock of Seagulls shaped my golden days!

Wow this video looks crisp! and the song is awesome!

I wish I could have been old enough to understand what was going on when this was happening but can’t complain 90s were pretty awesome too!

Aqui no Brasil, Negrete, Renato Rocha foi um baixista muito bom.Esse baixista aí era arretado na época muito bom 22 abril 2023

amazing song

Fantastic !

It's so easy to make fun of them because of the hair. However, Paul Reynold's guitar and Frank Maudsley bass made this band great. I wish those two had gone on together to form a band.

I saw them four weeks later in Dallas. Incredible show!

Love this song ;) reminds me of my dad

You can DEFINITELY hear Paul Reynolds ‘sound’ in a lot of bands from the early 00’s and up. Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Silversun Pickups, etc etc

great song

Great band wish they would rock together again...

I had White Blue Genes, they wore Tight, LoL Those Genes became Holy...I wore 'em every Day^!!^ I was reminded of this Song when a Spark hit Me and I began to Pant while I was watching Season 2 Episode 8 of The Flash.

So amazing

Wonderfull!!!!

A much better group than they were given credit for

muito bom 😍😍😍

I saw this band last night. Granted, most of the original lineup is gone. It was a solid, enjoyable show, regardless.

clapping is that thing where you hit your hands together...wow. tough crowd, great song.

Magnífico.....!

Always was a fan

That was a great day!

Στην λευκη με αγαπη αλεξανδρος 1991 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I ♥️ Techno pop

They won a grammy for this encore songs great AFOS

And now their back together!!!!

Super music!

80' ...80's.

1:11 80's coke! the proper stuff.

what a truly underrated band, shame they were only know for their one hit

Tomorrow the new AFOS album "Ascension" will be out here in europe. Thanks guys! It was about time!!

Aww to be a teen again I was 17 when this concert took place

Wow!

Roland Juno 60, two SH-101's and a TR-606. NICE.

That regular pulse like beat reminds me of something i like doing

this is a near studio quality recording considering the equipment available at the time

A plus from Canada

British goodness.

What pair of shoes is Paul Reynolds sporting at this festival? Quite rad to say the least.

This song is really good and it helps me to not be that nervous to graduate in 2 weeks 😊☺️😆😅

❤️

the musical embodiment of the Apple revolution...

cleanses the soul

This song has a good beat

Great!!!..:)

A Flock of Seagulls YOU CAN RUN PLEASE LIVE HD

La raja!

thank you youtube !

I like how they're going crazy when there's not even any lyrics.

That little blue box Paul uses is a Roland gr 300 guitar synth. What's interesting is that the only input for a guitar it has is a Roland synth guitar. So I have no idea how Paul ran his Kramer and thunderbird through the thing.

I always get a Rush vibe when I hear this.

The 1980's can be defined in this three second segment. 0:46

32 people know why AFoS lost relevance the day Paul went his own way.

This is Isaac Atterbury.Moreover, I am on Facebook.I LOVE the concert and the DRUMMER.( Isaac Atterbury)(6-14-18).

muito loko

That's music not like the garbage of this days.

Better then the DNA we have today :/

Wow. This is actually pretty cool in uptempo. I dig. /original is best instrumental from the era, easily, by a long shot
