Magazine 'Shot By Both Sides' live Belgian TV 1979

Video Overview & Insights

Live TV gig on July 2 1979, a few months before guitarist John McGeogh was poached by Siouxsie & the Banshees. The Banshees also played this show, so perhaps this is when they decided McGeogh would fit (see their Hong Kong Garden clip also at this channel).

McGeeoch is sick af.

This footage has been used on YT with the single dubbed on - here's the real live sound and peformance in HQ. Filmed for Belgian TV show Folllies.

@theethinethou

while I hold magazine in the highest regard, and their album "the correct use of soap" is an unrecognized classic- and John McGoegh is one of the best guitarists of his era- this riff and song are Pete Shelley creations, used in another great song "Lipstick" by buzzcocks.

I bought this single in 1978 ☺️ still got it.

@MissFlight-q8f

I saw them live in Leeds in 90's think they supported but i can't remember due to drugs. They were very very tight.
