Matt Johnson is truly one of the greatest song writers ever. What a gem

Jools solo on the album version is staggering

Soul Mining is a sublime album. Every track is a classic.

Walked in record shop to buy The The Infected , the assistant said at last someone with some taste, that was testament to Matt Johnson, hugely underrated

My favorite piano solo ever. Hands down. Fun to finally see Jools actually playing it!

Time and time again, I come back to these albums. Matt was an incredible songwriter/performer. The "Infected" album is still one of the very few that I will still listen to from start to finish without skipping a track, just fecking brilliant

I took Mind Bomb on cassette with me to Thailand in 1990 for 6 months. I know every word to this day.

The smile Matt gives Jools during the piano solo always warms my heart.

This is an amazing song.... but Jools is the icing on the cake. Bloody awesome ‼️

one of the most sensational piano solos ever!!

I have wanted to marry Matt Johnson for almost 40 years. My husband understands this and accepts it. Freaking love that guy.

Can we just take a moment to admire the handsomeness of this young Matt Johnson. Brain and looks...*sigh* ☺️

MIND BLOWINGLY GOOD SET!

IMHO - one of the greatest songs ever written......

Matt Johnson , legend , listen-to the Beaten Generation from the Mind Bomb album , echos of this day and age and written a long time ago ,The The , absolute brilliance

Walked into a record shop who were playing Uncertain Smile. Walked out with the album. Stunning track and a great album.

Matt Johnsons lyrics n songs with The THE, went well with us enemployed in merseyside in the 1980’s

Love the crystal clear guitar intro, what a superb track! Recording from 30 years ago, still the same superior quality as in 1993!

I took music like this for granted back in the day , not anymore ! ❤it means more to us than ever !

I followed The The a bit in my youth (80’s) but somehow devastatingly I missed this tune. Now 40 odd years later I can’t get enough of it.

The The! Such an underrated band and an underrated song! Jools the man nailing it! 👍🇦🇺

One of the best piano solos ever and the flute fits perfectly too. Adds to the ethereal nature of it.

The songs original solo was longer. What is amazing he did it in one take in the studio in the early 80s.

I watch this endlessly i love this song and matt johnson one the most talented artists EVER it pains me that his genius is unknown by millions i loved him then and still do now and jools is just amazing totally blows your head off whether its this live version or the soul mining LP one its the most wonderful song ever as is the whole of the soul mining album a work of art and many gems of his work beyond.

This still stands up today genius

Best piano solo on any song - EVER

One of my favourite TV performances of all time.. electric

I LOVE THIS SONG! Whenever the world gets too much and I reach the point of crisis I put this on VERY VERY LOUD and all is well... Edit: Honestly I have lived a horrible and stressed out life, my family have been no help, I married a person who ended up being awful to me who then started a divorce against me (It turned out it was becasue she was having an affair with a person who was a convicted criminal who was clearly putting my son in danger as he was wanted by a drug gang) the solicitors worked out quickly what was going on and realised that this divorce what something that I really needed. No, I can't go on, too much awfulness in my life, but at least I'm off the anti-depressants now, all I want in life is a bit of happiness and stablility, is that too much too ask.

Jesus, 30 years ago... I still know all the lyrics to all the songs on the albumn...

The The were an integral part of my late teen years ... oh the memories :)

What a track, I love how they just let Jools have the freedom to play however he wanted in the 80's, the Piano is unmatched. Matt is perfection on legs :) ]

Every album they've released has caused me to laugh and cry at the same time, very melancholy! No one else does this the way they do!

Peeling the skin back from my eyes I felt surprised That the time on the clock was the time I usually retired To the place where I cleared my head of you But just for today I think I lie here and dream of you I've got you under my skin where the rain can't get in But if the sweat pours out, just shout I'll try to swim and pull you out A howling wind that blows the litter as the rain flows As street lamps pour orange colored shapes, through your windows A broken soul stares from a pair of watering eyes Uncertain emotions force an uncertain smile I've got you under my skin where the rain can't get in But if the sweat pours out, just shout I'll try to swim and pull you out

My fav TT song, but never saw this video until now. Joolz kicked it.

❤ this song, so much to like about it.

I love everything about this, including the lad on bass, coolest ever.

I've loved The The ever since Channel 4 played the whole of Infected, with accompanying videos...

Love this band. Great performance.

Love this so much! Timeless music.

How can you possibly make this any better..... I know we'll have Jools Holland on it ‼️ absolutely fantastic!

Love this so much! Thanks for posting.

I ❤ this. On repeat.

Absolutely superb.

Such a beautiful song !! What a memories !!

Fave the the track. Brings back so many memories

Simply incredible all the way around!!

Wonderful. Love the recorded version and listen regularly.

Gorgeous and astounding.

Thank you so much for sharing this gem! Jools 🤘

Brilliant. Gorgeous.

Long time fan, first time seeing this version! Thanks for posting...I still can't believe that the the weren't more popular. I can't get enough of them and have been listening to them since the 80's....

Jools is a jewell, I was hoping he was going to be with Squeeze last year😊

The Algorithm suggested this to me 5 years after the upload. Go figure. The piano solo at the end of the studio version is why I bought The (The) CD when it came out. Absolutely brilliant! I don't think they got much radio play in the US back in the day, so I never expected to see a live performance. Thanks for posting!

Great performance!

This is probally the best jukes solo ever listen to the album track !!’

One regret of my youth is turning down a chance to see The The play live in 1985 (because I had a date planned that night). 😦

Niiiice! As more of a rock fan when I was younger, When I first heard this, the piano solo on the studio version just REALLY hit me and pulled me into exploring/appreciating jazz and blues a lot more. Great tune and great piano solo!

Fantastic!

I did not know Jools Holland did the solo on this song. Epic.

Alucinante😍😍😍😍

love it

Class 🎹🎵👌🏻❤️

This was a excellent show Later

God i love this band so much

Matt Johnson is one Britain's finest singer songwriters.

brilliant !

So good

Wow! -i had not seen this version... just.... wow! ;)

Amazing phrasing!!

God not heard in ages , that's good for the soul

❤❤ SUPERBE, MAGNIFICENT..

Excellent song

Joel’s is one or musics greatest pianists period !

Pure heaven.

This song has been with me for decades. Matt’s first 3 albums (some parts of Dusk are amazing, so maybe 3.5 albums ;) are brilliant. But he hasn’t always been good to the people around him from what I understand. I hope he’s in a happy place today, as his music inspired me and millions more

This is two takes edited together... the main part is in C# but the solo is in the original key of B. Notice the capos suddenly disappear for the solo

Magnificent

the original 12" is the best ever but hats off to Jools his solo is stunning.

Amen brother, amen.

this was a great show in its day. its not the same anymore

tune 4 life

Magic

The best

nailed it!

Maravilhoso

Jealous of youth becoming more real for me everyday. The song is just so good and true.

Genius song ...

Class.

holy shit this version is amazing

Beautiful song, love the 7inch version of this song, should have charted a lot higher than it did, as with quite a few of The The songs should have, i think The The appealed to a more grown up audience and not teenyboppers, Matt Johnson's lyrics and music more suited to music lovers who appreciated more meaningful lyrics and something a little different than a lot of pop rubbish than what was in the charts around the the Eighties, get the The The 45rpm singles collection Double CD and discover the delights of The The ❤️

Fantastico Matt e il piano è da film

Matt Johnson is so underated

Go Jooooooools!

Joos mate, awesome

No one is going to give this a thumbs down!

they should have put the volume of the piano a bit up

Uncertain emotions

❤❤❤

wow
