I wish we could ALL go back to living in 1979 and explore it all over again!
same with 1978...
Me to a jam fan total mod a 16 teen year old who hated these pricks at thee time
The Teardrop Explodes are the definition of "criminally overlooked" bands.
I was lucky enough to see The Teardrop Explodes (and Echo and the Bunnymen) play live lots of times in 1980-81. Julian Cope was an extraordinary, charismatic performer and a fabulously funky bass player. He's still wonderful.
Why isn't JC quoted as more of an influence to today's music? He is a talented songwriter with the most amazing voice, which still prevails if you see him live now. Love love!
I'm not joking the drummer is my grandad
are you fuckin serious man? It's so cool
he was a major influence on my drumming style. good man!
If that is indeed trooo, then tell him for me that we listened to him in Canada, and that he is a Champ of Drumming in my book.
The last time I saw Gary Dwyer,he was working as a security guard in Top Shop.This was in the late 90s mind.
@@SteveGad Courtney Love you mean? Tell us more!
That's my grandad Garry Dwyer
Hope yer grandaddy, Gary, is doin' okay !!!

Have you read ' Head On ' by Julian Cope, it's a fantastic read and Gary (your grandfather ) comes across as a great guy.
And one of the few people that Julian Cope has a good word for.
Wow, he's a GrandDad!, Who'd a thought it! In my opinion (and I've held this opinion since early 1980's) is that Garry Dwyer is the best drummer in the world - nice now to be able to say that to people who may agree with me!
I believe you. I was 11 in 79 and the idea of a New Wave musician ever being referred to as a Grandparent still seems weird to me though.
Paul Simpson.. second from left, wrote the masterpiece, 'Revolutionary Spirit' as The Wild Swans
That's a great track!
The version of Ha Ha I'm Drowning performed in this session is top class!
The genius thatvis Julian cope and all members of The Teardrop Explodes.
Not heard this session before.
Absolutely fantastic
Great band!
Fantastic!
Always had respect for this tight band.
The legendary Paul Simpson!
The most under-rated out of all the Liverpool artists that came out of that post punk scene of the late 70s early 80s. Highly criminal that The Wild Swans "The Coldest Winter For A Hundred Years" album from 2011 got ignored by the general public,as it was Paul Simpson's masterpiece. Look forward to the new Wild Swans album,hopefully later this year
Grandad Rocky Dwyer ....my best mate .....Tempo ...xx
great version of Ha Ha!
that just has to be Andy Gill on guitar for "ha ha i'm drowning"
On reflection I actually prefer these stripped down/less produced versions. Especially Ha Ha I'm Drowning... but ONLY if played at high volume. The guitar on Ha Ha...etc. is superb.
I agree
One of my pet peeves is people who leave the word “the” out of “The Teardrop Explodes”. They’re not “Teardrop Explodes”. There’s no poetry and mystery without the “the”.
(Although The The themselves are fine).
Great session, great songs, great band. I believe that this session features Ged Quinn on the organ, no?
Paul Simpson I think.
A bit of Talking Heads and a bit of XTC. Very talented boys.
Disco basses are good here.
Great Mod Revival Band.
you have a sponge for a brain if you believe that
Huh?
click bait these are album tracks
Haha…you think Peel sessions are click bait. 😂
This is one of the very few recordings of this line up of The Teardrop Explodes.
@@maryburke5423 No I think this video is click bait.
