The Tube was perhaps the best thing to happen in music in the UK in the early '80s. From the opening show in November 1982 with The Jam's final live television appearance to the final show in April 1987 (an end that was catalysed by host Jools Holland's stating "be there or be ungroovy fuckers" in a pre-watershed trailer!), the show featured a veritable who's who of the (mostly) alternative UK music scene. As such it was a must watch.
In a final 'Night Time' themed post, here is Killing Joke's two appearances from December 1983 (which features the 'Night Time' track, ' Eighties') along with their performance from January 1985.
This was first downloaded from the much missed Punktorrents site.
