For Phoebe Still A Baby (Live In Mexico City, 1998)

Simon Raymonde of Cocteau Twins and Matthew Kelly of The Autumns performing "For Phoebe Still A Baby" from the 1988 Cocteau Twins album "Blue Bell Knoll" in Mexico City. In 1998, Simon Raymonde recruited The Autumns as his live band while touring Mexico. The Autumns opened each show. Simon was also kidnapped on this tour.
As Simon describes it: “Unlikely as it sounds, I was kidnapped by a taxi driver on the night of this show, but managed to escape an almost-certain grim ending and ran about four miles from danger in intense heat while dressed in my suit and creepers till I reached help. A call was made and the promoter came out to get me and drove me straight to the venue where I walked on stage where my band (a fab bunch from LA called The Autumns) and the audience had been waiting patiently for me to play the show.” Memoirs of the experience will be featured in a forthcoming book Simon is releasing.
