Can't help crying. My teenage-years heroes. YMG forever.
Heard about YMG for years and at 58 I'm just now getting into them. What did you like about them?
@duckbrew The instant You hear the 'Noodlings .or the Drum Machine. 'It Catches one's Attention 'like Wait a Min...?..It's A classic In So many Ways. it probably Was the Same In most places @80'..All the budding Muso's Had this L.P.in Dunedin.Otago South Island N.Z..feel it Shaped Many Early Dn Bands &,Flying Nun.Records R.I.P.Martin.Phillipps-#The CHILLS😢. [@Chillblue07. -Lots of Early Dn Bands.etc there..Had a girlfriend wth a Simple Cassette plyr.Few tapes.1-We'd Play.'TYMG.lp.flip it over Billie Holliday. That's all that was needed.too
❤The 'Colected works' Has everything YMGs Put out dn nz .
I saw them at The Keystone in Palo Alto,CA in 1981 with Caberet Voltaire. I was blown away by this group. Their stage presence was incredible. You knew that you were seeing something very special. I'm glad I saw them. Long live Colossal Youth
Oh, wow, had no idea this existed. I'm currently levitating.
I think that I'm levitating too!
@@only1hawky I'm defo levitating
@@only1hawky I'm also most definitely levitating.
my face is on the ceiling
Can you please stop flying me over the top .. I need to kiss my Mum.
#satellized ...
#wonder
I like how the bassist walks in circles as he plays.
He had horrible stage fright, much like Stu and Alison.
Legendary !!
I just discovered this band an hour ago. My mind is blown. Thanks for this!!
Minimalism in its most beautiful and fragile way! I
even tho I was born in 94 this band was everything for me in my last years of middle school. Those songs are engraved in me.
Best band ever❤❤❤
Minimalist Royalty. The way those two guys play off each other’s little melodies is hypnotic. Subtle and her dreamy vocals have me in a trance here.
- Colossal Youth has been a favourite since its release, and now when everything is overhyped and overproduced this is just the best ❤
i love how stripped down their sound is. it isnt layered with too many instruments, they dont need that to sound good. it sounds very fragile and pretty
And very contemporary!
I used to listen to the YMG as a teen, 35 years later these melodies still are in my mind...
Whenever I need to explain to someone the relationship between Indie and Punk music, I'll show them this
Every note of Colossal Youth is etched in my brain from when I listened to YMG endlessly my last 2 yrs of HS (‘82-‘83). Singular sound and feeling they created. It is amazing to see them play and hear them live. Thank you!
achingly beautiful, simple and perfect.
Wow...there was a small group of us who 'got' this band. So glad to see this and to see the following out there. I know very little about them but their music ranks right up there with my favorites of all time.
Dito. Just now jump around in my music past The Vyillies and Young Marble Giants and many groups never you could listen in radion
they are playing their instruments/singing as if they had invented it. it's so original and it's mesmerizing.
This is medicine. Love these guys.
My God! I am watching this for the first time. Maybe the greatest live set ever recorded...
YMG is one of my favorites. So ahead of their time, and so unique in theirs. I could listen to young Allison read the phone book. (which of course were common in those days)
One of the best, saw them in 1979 and etched into my soul since then. Often listen now and still totally uniques and deep. A truly seminal band....
Love the young marble giants. My teenage years was so wonderful....with John peel....and so many extraordinary bands...I was so lucky.....cheers
Got Colossal Youth in the '80s; NITA, their opener was my fave. Western Front is in Vancouver BC during their only North American tour. Found out they broke up Jan. 1981. Allison Statton is now a chiropractor.
I remember when this first came out.Now I'm 61 and still love it.
The Sound and Image from 22nd Century.
Very,Very,Very Cool!!!!!!
With each track, I think "I'd forgotten how good this track is", if not "I'd forgotten how brilliant this track is".
So different from everything I had, played to death but it never dies.
Very generous of you to have posted this, and quite exceptional.
Thank you, Eric Rhodes for posting this waffle-thin music from heaven !
this is excellent quality footage for 1980. A dark dingy concert in 1980 and it looks this clear? What a sweet video.
This footage is perfection and pure.
Fark!!!! So amazing this exists...wow
What an incredible treasure for you to share! Funny, I always pictured the YMG live in black and white; color would have been unsettling...
priceless document of an awesome moment in time - thanks a lot for sharing this!
Achingly beautiful. Wonderful that this footage exists - how I'd love to have seen them at this time. N.I.T.A., Choci Loni and Brand - New - Life are probably my favourites, thogh it's damn near impossible to single out 'top' tracks from Colossal Youth because they're all pure gold.
To say the least, it is very good.
No, it is not. I want to express my joy by going out to the street.
Thanks for this. What a gem! Colossal Youth is my favourite album ever and comes from a great time of music in my teenage years. Wurlitzer Jukebox on here has the same effect that Ceremony from New Order does. It takes me back to a different time and place and this music will always be part of me. Appreciate you sharing this.
Best band ever
Faithful following at that date in time. Nice to see they are still greatly appreciated !
i was there ! thankyou so much for posting this legendary vancouver show
And they finish with Cakewalking! What a band! One great LP confirming that pop culture had truly changed thanks to punk, and here I am all these years later watching them perform it all in an understated manner whilst smoking!
Affff! This is a GEM! Thank you for posting!
Wow, I stumbled upon this whilst having a general CZcams music video evening, I never even knew that a YMG gig video recording existed. I think that I shall be returning to this from now on. I really would've loved to have been there on the night. Awesome.
This is amazing.
Always enjoyed how the players get their point across without excessive volume.
Saw them at the 101 Club in Clapham Junction when they supported Sad Among Strangers.. Bothering wonderful bands.. Very nostalgic.
Crazy good.
Simply brilliant, you can wallow in memories.
Everyone tabbing up. Shambling about between songs. It's the 80s and you can't understand it without this.
Love that you uploaded this Eric, also love your covers!
Love it!❤
Love this whole show more than anything, but the thing that strikes me this time through is how similar Phil's basslines are to Peter Principle's lines from early Tuxedomoon... that muted and hand-damped thing were a response to the bombast of rock and have aged incredibly gracefully...
Andrew, I am a massive TUXEDO MOON fan.
I agree, there are very strong similarities, without either band ever hearing each other.
This is amazing. Please accept my gratitude.
I've never seen Allison take her jacket off halfway through the set before, thanks for sharing.
lol
Utterly fabulous- simple atmospheric tunes
Superb sound quality. Thanks so much
This so absolutely fantastic......I am transported back to my formative years....thank you so much fo this breath of fresh air.....
I saw them live in San Francisco (in an outdoor concert of all things) in 1980. Colossal Youth is one of my all time fav albums.
kabardinka12 you saw them at the Civic Center free western front concert I recorded for radio:czcams.com/video/9W3yluEePNI/video.html
I also recorded them the night before with Cabaret Voltaire at the Keystone Berkeley:czcams.com/video/hglCgHq_bYI/video.html
I just discovered this band right now! Very cool =)
This is another reason that 1980 is the greatest year in the history of the Universe.
Love and respect from me to YMG for reproducing this amazing music in a LIVE environment.
I thought their records were produced in their bedroom at their parents' home. LOL!!!!!
Seriously, these are very impressive intelligent humans.
YMG prove Devo's theory of De-evolution.
Human culture in decline since the early 80's.
This is so incredible. Beautiful.
Some of the greatest singers are INSTANTLY recognisable after 3 words.. Ferry, Morrissey, Hope Sandoval, Kate Bush.. Alison is one of them!
Marvelous!! I got the record in the eighties. And I loved It.
I still have it on vinyl.
merci. vraiment MERCI! THANKS. I did buy the album "colossal Youth". it was november 1990, in France.
Brand New Life starts at 29:05 😊😊
Thank you. I hope you like the video.
So great to hear / see this... wow... goose pimples....cheers
Giantissime !!! in Marble i stay Young
One of the greatest.
Wow. Just wow.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
this is the most 1980 thing that has ever been
Hell yes. Best thing here
I don't know why I still think about her, maybe it's reflection like I said or regression or inspiration or love
But if that's so why wasn't it so
I have nothing else to do but be sentimental
There is no one
He died we broke up
We weren't given seconds but we're still racing, with it all passing by and I own her by owing myself earning tearing down the ambivalence just to pretend
Just to say something like all men
But I can't say unless you want me to so squish the plastic and flush it down the drain
She was do patient with me and I was really cool
Wondering how I could make it all last
I did well and grew up
I could do whatever I wanted with her
I knew it know
So eyes fame shoves and the place of comfort wearing out zi solved it by being new Everytime
I guided you I knew
You saw the fascination
That made me wide as a window and big as a plane
For finally open to the pretty core I want to rip thoroughly taking and giving everything
I put me out there as the start of a boundless mystery an unsure realm with unique possibilities a wise well run through your heart and mine brains can't come till it's your time so follow through with the painted lines
I wanna beat your mind I still can't decide on loving you but you give it anyway
Thank you this is wonderful evidence of this splendid band’s simple perfection
Just brilliant-thanks you-such an important document of a unique group..
Wow, and quite moving to see this. Thank you all.
thank you so much!
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ...... They are just amazing !!!!!! Thank you for sharing it ....
Wow!
memories of them playing Grassroots in Cardiff...awesome! cheers!
The purest voice
And pure sound

Ah, gigs - seems so very long ago now. And no bellends talking throughout! Thank you for this outstanding artefact
