Inner City Unit 1985
Dead Fred recently uploaded this old VHS recording of ICU doing their thang.
If you remember ICU then you'll probably love this - a cool reminder of just how chaotic things could get back then.
If you've never 'eard of 'em then you're probably better off just moving along :-D

I like Hawkwind, I like (Early) Gong, so I may well have liked them but had never heard (of) them
But unfortunately I agree with your description - in that the recording feels like it’s probably a shadow of what it would have been like in person, and has strong “you had to be there” vibes.

Ha ha yes!
I've seen 'em a few times and it was always a proper blast. Just bonkers. One of my favourite quotes about ICU was from Brian Tawn, who said they sounded like they were all having a race to see who could finish the song first.
