Cardiacs ... absolute genius. RIP Tim Smith

Hello!

After the 8 minute mark he just went "Aw fcuk it!" 😆 Jokes aside, it's absolutely lovely to hear these songs live! 🖤

Lucky enough to see William D Drake at the Dorothy Pax, an absolute gem, brilliant musician! Thank you for sharing :)

Good stuff.

Twiddling knobs ain't that hard, having members of Gong alongside you is a big help

I recall when doing the FOH sound for the original Cardiacs at the Marquee in 1985 the keyboard player had one keyboard swapped through 180 degrees, so he in effect played it in reverse - from behind. Mad, but very impressive. Looking at the video of the Surbiton gig from around the same period, you can just about make that out.

Lovely, one of my favourites, and one I didn't think to record when I saw them in Glasgow. Cheers!

Someone's been listening to Zappa.

Lovely. Did you record the whole show?

We did a ukulele tribute to this great song sung by Laurel & Hardy! ua-cam.com/video/cpok29Xycsw/v-deo.html

Jim's not that fat 😐

What keyboard is Bill Drake playing at 0:33 ?

No-one here makes a sound Standing up or sitting down We grin like alligators Assist with apparatus

Great performance of a great song.

OMG LISTEN TO JIM!

Maverick? Cheeky shit more like 😅

My favourite game ❤

Brilliant!

Thanks for uploading this!!!

If time travel ever becomes a thing, I'd go to this gig first, for the performance of this song in particular. It was 4 years before I went to my first gig, saw Cardiacs many, many times afterwards, but not the full, big band lineup. Thank dog for the Maresnest dvd!

I remember being totally gobsmacked when I read that Steve Davis had paid for MAGMA to reform for a few gigs in London back in the 80’s. I recall reading about it and thinking “Is there another ‘Steve Davis’ out there in professional snooker that I’ve not heard of?”…it was so off-the-wall that I couldn’t reconcile MAGMA with Steve “Interesting” Davis!

Going to see GONG in a few weeks (and then The Residents a week after that!), I hope Kavus and crew are on the ball!

yup

Yeah, that's a cat. Also a mouse!

Very nice! I see a lot of familiar faces 😀

Steve Davis has the largest collection of soul ‘45s in the country, thousands and thousands of them, which is pretty darn impressive. There’s a French prog band called Magma and in the late 70s/early 80s, Steve Davis organised and put on a show in London, completely self financed. Absolutely nobody turned up, how sad! I adore snooker and I adore music, Steve Davis is an incredibly interesting man and I could listen to him talk about snooker or music all day every day 😀🥰

Thank you Eric! These spruced-up uploads of yours are wonderful.

all snowy in the pond

How I wish I'd been there... R.I.P Tims.

Did you get a sense what the bloke was so annoyed about or was he just a bag of wind?

What a load of boule-ocks. Played that game a few times in France now, it's fun!

Nice work with the captions

CAN’T HEAR A WORD!

This makes me so angly

Excellent 👍

Brilliant drummer! Great song.

Now i understand : stars in Battledress is Cardiacs acoustic !

Toby, is that you? Amazing to run into you on youtube! USA USA! ;)

The last gig I went to & around the same time I had my last hair cut.
