It's hard to believe how good the Tube was, time goes by so fast, what a great time to be alive in the analogue 80,s.

The show was on 5.30 - 7pm Friday, and then repeated on Sunday afternoon. I would take my portable TV into the bathroom and watch it getting ready to go out on Friday night, taking notes of the best videos/performances to tape off the telly on the Sunday. It was the first TV Music show that ran for more than half an hour and as such was a feast comparably. God I’m old…..

I was 18 and used to watch it religiously! Better music, better days indeed.

Great days. I wish it was 1982 again.

I used to watch this every week. Great memories.

This was a great programme. A must every Friday night. Really enjoyed Jools Holland as a presenter, he's still very good at it now.

How fabulous. These full episodes of The Tube are lifesavers!

Cannot understand why they don't replay these episodes of the tube But they replay EastEnders and Coronation street ??

Absolutely amazing, I know I was only born in 1992 and wasn't around when this was on tv but it's never too late to sit down and have a catch up and go through these tv shows like the tube, it's still relevant to me cause I love music from that era and people like you uploading old episodes of the tube gives me a chance to watch it that ive never seen it before, only seen it on guy garveys the vault on sky arts on fridays

I was 21, one of the best programmes at that time. The 80's were the best time to be young and alive 🥳🎉🎈🍾 I'm so grateful

Can´t believe this was 40 years ago, how time flies.

Andy Sumner's and Fripp on guitars Reminds me of the duelling banjo’s anyone else?

This is by far the best 1:32:50 of TV I've watched in ages. They cover so much!

Ah!! The 80s how simple how easy was that ,I miss those days ,no phones no internet but happy as could be

I wish The Tube had been broadcasted in the States. We missed out on so much.

The Go-Gos were so amazing & ahead of their time

Situation love from Yazoo is EVERYTHING, WOW!

Thanks for posting. The channel ScottishTeeVee posted every episode from every season of The Tube at one point but was forced to take them down. No doubt this will also see the same fate before too long, but good on you for posting anyway! I grew up in the states and we had nothing as amazing as the tube on tv. We had MTV but they didn’t have the commitment to showing LIVE bands that the tube did. Watching Killing Joke live for the first time melted my face off it was so friggin awesome! The UK has a much better understanding and respect for pop culture. They celebrate it but at the same time don’t get too carried away. I absolutely adore programs like The Tube and would give anything to have access to the entire archive that ScottishTeeVee had/has. When he had every episode posted, I literally was watching for days on end; always had it going in the background. And I was BLOWN AWAY by the incredibly diverse roster of acts like: Killing Joke, Chaka Khan, Yazoo, Lords of the New Church, Siouxsie and the Banshees w Robert Smith on guitar (!!!) to name a few! Hell even Spandau (barf) Ballet put on a decent show. So cool! Thanks again for posting and post MORE of ya got em!

I really must the honesty of the 1980s , we need that back but somehow, I doubt it

So very long ago. 42 years. I watched many episodes on broadcast. I found it variable: some of the music was thrilling, the presenters were funny and amiable, most of the 'comedy' was embarrassingly naff.

I so love Alf. The undeniable Star of the show.

God. I’d forgotten about the Tube. Thanks for posting

Remember so well, filmed 13 miles from my home town!

This show was recorded at Riverside Studios just by Hammersmith Bridge where the Sex Pistols rehearsed in 1974-1975 when they were still called The Swankers and Steve Jones was still their singer and before they found Johnny Rotten...Now demolished and replaced by expensive flats....Same as most of London.

Alison Moyet is fabulous here.

Interesting to see The Bangles as veritable nobodies who would eventually become as popular as (if not more than) The Go Gos.

As a german, the fact that literally everybody displays such a harsh sense of humour is quite delightful. Wouldn’t have happened in a German TV show in 1982…or in 2022. What is in your water?

I had such a crush on Belinda Carlisle. Also a rare live set from the magnificent Yazoo. Brilliant 👏

Dear god how absolutely fantastic is Alf here… yazoo fan for life.

Those two girls dressed in a 1960s style doing backing vocals for The Maisonettes look so sexy,I hope that fashion comes back one day.

I remember my guitar teachers band were on The Tube...I was 13 and couldn't believe someone I knew was going to be on telly. Wish I could remember their name...

OMG Eric Burdon is beautiful. Loved seeing him and alison Moyet singing!!

Strange Days were a British band based in York during the 1980s. Formerly known as The Sirens under which name they released one single: "Crusade" - B-side: "Close to Tears" - on their own label. A change of name to Strange Days saw them signed to local record label Powerstation Records, releasing the single "Within These Walls" with the b-side "Swimming Into The Doctor" in the mid-1980s. They appeared on Channel 4's music show The Tube in 1982 performing their self-penned 1980s anthem "Scream in Vain".

The early days of the wireless microphone........when Jools is walking along at the start, the old VHF drop outs in signal

strange Days thought they were going to be the next Bunnymen. Still find the summers and fripp coloboration nuts, Channel 4 was so edgy and exciting in the early days

The Tube was a groundbreaking show looking back.

So great to see the Go-Gos 40 years ago.

A serious blast from the past.

Yazoo, fantastic 👍🏆🇬🇧

Everyone trying to be too cool and just coming across really awkward. Quaintly of its era. :D

OMGOOODNESS - In My Room from Yazoo. This is all toooo FAB!

Fantastic to see this

Can't believe all these people are now in their 60s.

A great show indeed

I'll never know how Paula Yates got the job

*[Note: The video for "Night Boat" by Duran Duran has been removed due to copyright].*

Maisonettes classic tune!

Strange Days song is awesome. never Heard it before

Fripp and Summers were brilliant.

That Mark guy doing the rigmarole…unreal

Worth it just for Alf and Eric Burdon.....

The Tube was so damn good.

Coming home from school on a Friday and watching this at 5:30pm was nuts!

Jools unplugging Andy Summer's guitar mid playing = funny

And to think that The Bangles would eventually record at least THREE of THE iconic hits of the 80s! "Manic Monday", "Walk Like An Egyptian" & "Eternal Flame!" I their "Different Light" lp!

A real honesty , it was theshow of new channel 4 At time

I didn’t know peter sutcliffecould sing

..great to see alf moyet ......

Good work. Do you possibly have the Tube episode featuring the Pat Metheny Group doing 'Are you going with me' ? Been looking for ages....

Top Show.

i always thought this was broadcasted from newcastle....

Im here 4 the jeff beck intro

What a time to be alive!

Did you see last week. They had The Jam on.

The young girl from stranger things (think it’s Bobbi brown )would play a very good Paula Yates..

I had a life then!

Paula Yates owned the 1980s

My sister bought the maisonettes single.

Steve Cram @25:00 ? That was a bit random??

The bangles. Wow

Steve Cram, lucky he’s good at running. He wears that tie and jumper without a slither of shame or awkward embarrassment. His mum must have still dressed him then.

Was that Strange days singer Curt from Tears for Fears, Curt Smith ?.

anyone knows the name of that body builder?

oh yes 22 had me firdt kid

Was that Mark my words doing the poetry at the end ?

Is Moyet miming or did she sing this live?

is that Lorraine Kelly at 1.12??

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Vince has two microphones and nio duties at all.

A 1950 Police car in LA is winning friends unless it's a feature film.....

I would say Chris Evans copied this show when he made TFI Friday later on.

Geldof puts the wife to work 'cos no one except Roger Waters likes him.

Keep thinking it's Freddie Mercury in The Bangles

I wonder what happened to Mark Miwurdz.

Andy Summers with Robert Fripp, paid girls dancing on it, weird!

Spunk

tune animals

Jools Holland?

and heres paula r i p

Great guests performances but... Adlib by the hosts is awful, first part of House of the Rising Sun was edited out, random videos

Paula Yates- as interesting as an ice water enema.

The cure belin

The first time I laid eyes on Paula Yates, I knew she was a goner. Sad.

Holy disinterested audiences Batman

Compare this to blummin x factor bs

Fripp & Summers OK the tube had its downside as well, but most of it was good.

26:43

John Taylor totally wasted, poor guy.

The only part of this mainstream media shitshow worth watching: 1:15:52

No woke BS
