Fridays was almost uncanny in its ability to book emerging legends at their absolute prime and then draw fantastic performances out of them, and this is no exception. I mean, how could you be a 12 year old watching this and not be absolutely blown away? Thank god this is available for a new generation to see. A time machine, this-just magic.

WOW!! topper on clampdown is a real treat to the ears and eyes. unbelievable playing, especially listen to the kick drum on the bridge!!! used to play clampdown in a band I was in from Philly called the Von Cools,and just loved playing it, kicking the shit out of my drum kit.also sang the lead vocal on this song and the Rezillos song "bad guy reaction" which also has a great drum part, a real basher!! we actually did the the Rezillos album in it's entirety, this was in 1980-81........ great time to be in a band, awesome memories.
