Thanks for this , if you have anymore from this show i't'd be great if you put them on youtube. An ogwt classic that has stayed in my memory since early 82.
@@hannathelion6844 Nah, it's a reference to JC's autobiography Head-On when he tells Balfe to stop miming the lyrics in live performances because it's cheesy and "unhip as fuck". He wasn't LITERALLY miming, but lip-synching, as we'd say today
@ChemtrailsEire The Old Grey Whistle Test was a damn good show, and I just know this from watching youtube clips, wasn't alive to watch the real thing sadly...
Kevin speaking .- Kevin Stapleton was the name, wasn´t it? Always good to see the Teardrop Explodes here. Great Band, shitty look, and what a prick the keyboard player is. He later founded Food records, and Blur being on them used to wind Balfe up while recording with endless Julian Cope references during rehearsals which always worked because he hated Cope so much.
They absolutely just let it happen hahaha part of the charm but also probably contributory to how they never got massive. I love it though that's all that matters
One question - what the hell is mr balfe doing with his keyboards on this song?! A complete racket. You do feel sorry for him tho...look at the little noise he makes at 2:15, even he realises it's totally bolloks! lol
Aye, I noticed the little laugh he made. I always thought he seemed like an arsehole, but then again, I think Julian Cope was probably an prick to be in a band with too. No wonder he plays on his own now. He probably kept Balfe in the band because he was well aquanted with the music scene with his producing credits, and that pushed the band further.
But then who went to have an ever flourishing solo career. Which is still as strong as it was back then. Cope had gravitas. Balfe was a good songwriter and arranger. But amateur approach to performing. Cope was seriously shafted by Drummond and Balfe.
What a remarkable talent, performer, musician, writer, human being Julian Cope is and has always been.
he understands......
Even more spaced out than the LP version. Love it.
oui
That bass player is one hell of a slapper!
