The whole of 'when God shuffled his feet' is good. But 'Mmmm mmmm mmm' & this ('afternoons and coffee spoons' close second) and 'swimming in your ocean' are my faves off the album. Oh and 'daus of the caveman' from the same album.
Well, harps are designed to only play in one diatonic scale, and as this song goes through different chords and keys, he had to switch between harps. Charlie McCoy did something similar for his version of "Orange Blossom Special".
But still subtly different, confirming that it is 100% live. Ben Darvill’s dual harmonica work is excellent and I’d rate him in the top 5 players of all time.
I saw them live in the late 80s...before they had a record contract. They were one of the best live bands I've seen. I actually had a beer with Brad during the break, and I bought their demo CD from him. Five bucks.
No he didn't - he said, "...their current release, _God Shuffled His Feet_." He was mentioning the name of their second album, not the song to be performed.
I loved this song at 18, and now at 45, I Iove it even more. It is genius.
3:12 They cut to the bald drummer after he sings 'some day I'll have a disappearing hairline' 😂
😂😂
The band is awesome! That drummer has always impressed me!….great chops!!!
Love that key change to the pre-chorus, great songwriting.
I am always impressed when I watch this and seeing Benjamin Darvill play the multiple harmonicas with quick key changes.
30 years later and its still a great song. Should have been a hit single
It got a load of radio play. I’d call it a hit.
Real musicians writing real poetry. Sadly rare in prominent music.
after 30yrs, their first 2 albums are still in my heavy rotation.
I miss this period in pop music history
Cant believe I watched this then, now 30 years ago!!!!!!
Glad the bassist told the drummer to speed up the tempo at the beginning. You can hear the quick drum fill pushing the band and it worked out nicely.
Totally noticed this as a drummer.. Every song our guitarist starts, me and the bassist look at each other and do the same thing 😂
This is just beautiful, just beautiful , nothing less , nothing more to say!
What a tune! This should've been a huge hit everywhere.
Great album
Bloody brilliant, and they are coming to Adelaide early next year. Downunder South Australia
This song should have been way more popular in the US. What can I say, we’re not so smart always.

Man they are very talented musicians, sad that music now is nothing like it used to be.
This song was so underrated in the uk charts! Such a feel good happy song, deserves a come back 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This is a great song.
Saw them live last year. Was amazing
Where did you see them? I would love to see them live!

How's his hairline looking? He wasnt in pyjamas was he?😂 amazing band❤
The beautiful Ellen Reid.❤️
Hermosa canción ❤️👏
Maravilha!!!! From Belo Horizonte/ Brazil
Their ability to sound just like the album version is amazing
Dude was dual wielding harmonicas
Well, harps are designed to only play in one diatonic scale, and as this song goes through different chords and keys, he had to switch between harps. Charlie McCoy did something similar for his version of "Orange Blossom Special".
You only get dual wield at level 14 if you put all your points into the harmonica skill tree
The test of how good a band are is how does their live version sound compared to the album version. This sounds almost identical.
But still subtly different, confirming that it is 100% live.

Oh heck yes. Love this band. Reminder of more sane times

1994 was the year that StarGate was a Box office hit at the Cinemas
3:29.Ela fazia parte da banda ou era só um apoio?
Ela nao aparece em nenhuma das fotos e quase nao e filmada no shows que tem no you tube.
Suoni magnificamente esaltati. Voce dono di Dio. Novità che non sfiorisce.
Giusto. E c’è un po’ di D. Stratos nella voce di Brad no?
Such great song
Class song...great post Bacchus....
Marcou uma geração ❤🇧🇷
After 30 years, i can say that while my hairline has receded a little bit, it has not disappeared and neither do I wear pajamas in the daytime.
Very good !
As the kids say nowadays, this is fire!
Has anyone noticed the quality of popular music has declined with the disappearance of harmonica solos
Bah. Que som. Emocionante
Where are they? Love it
Awesome
Alongside New Order's REPUBLIC, GOD SHUFFLED HIS FEET was the best album of the year 1993!
Esta banda efectivamente tenía 2 tecladistas mujeres...pensé que era un efecto Mandela😂
Great track :) Jay got the wrong song, or maybe they just maid fun with him :)
No he didn't - he said, "...their current release, _God Shuffled His Feet_." He was mentioning the name of their second album, not the song to be performed.
When having a frog in your throat doesnt sound that bad.
Harmonica player going INNN
Crash Test Froggies

I sound just like him when kneeling over the toilet after an entire night of drinking.
