I’m 63, living in Sydney as I did through the best years of Australian music 70’s 80’s and 90’s, I think my self lucky. I’ve got bands like the Go-Betweens as the soundtrack to my life.
That's a great version of Bachelor Kisses, never heard it with Amanda's keys and harmonies before. It nearly sounds like a slower, more organic Stereolab.
I love this GBs era… Spring Hill Fair was their dark star
The ultimate Go Betweens lineup in full beauty
Amanda Brown brought a new dimension to the band, that's for sure, the classic line up and a great version of 'To reach me'.
People can be critical about Lindy Morrison's drumming - you don't need to be technically gifted to make a band work. I have always loved her drumming and her performance.
look she did what no other women had done anyone that doesn't like it can FUCK OFF
Terrific drummer. Not a doubt about it. Absolutely nothing to criticize about it.
Thanks
I saw The Go-Betweens three times with Lindy drumming and Amanda playing and later I saw R & G as a duo and with other musicians; all were great but the band never shined harder than with Vickers, Morrison and Brown on board, and then with John W when Robert V left.
her drumming is iconic. It would not be the same band without her at all
Thank you so much for sharing this.
Absolute GOLD
Thanks
Some nice McLennan deep cuts here, relatively speaking. Not least "One Thing Can Hold Us" and "Casanova's Last Words". Pretty sure I'd not heard live versions of those somewhat underrated songs.
There has never been a cooler bass player than boyish Bobby Vickers.
such a snazzy dresser I can only dream of being as cool
The band is: Robert Forster (Vocals, guitar) Grant Mc Lennan (Vocals, guitar) Robert Vickers (Bass) Lindy Morrison (Drums) and Amanda Brown (Vocals, tambourine, violin, etc)
With advertisements now. Thanks for the upload.
This channel isn't monetised, so any ads are usually from music rightsholders. However as far as I can see no music has been claimed in this. So maybe if you see ads it's just UA-cam/Google putting them there to earn even more bucks.
First time I saw this talented band was at the QLD Uni refectory in 1986. Brilliant music.
I really can't think of many better bands Gavin, got first LP in summer 82 , saw them first live in London 85 and many times in Dublin until Grants death, truly exceptional music.
Awesome
We were there, also. Husband first saw them in the late 70's at the Curry Shop in George St, he thinks it was there? mind getting a bit fuzzy
I was in the support band that night(QLD Uni)...brings back memories...
Thanks for sharing this treasure
you're welcome!
Lovely lovely...lovely memories...thanks.
I so wish I’d been around to see this lineup. Didn’t discover them til Lovers Lane...
I'm glad I found this. A fine band. Many thanks for posting!
Qué grandes Go Betweens. Grupazo.
Lovely footage
great upload! thx...
Thanks for posting!
Awesome! Thanks for the upload. :D
So glad that I got to see them live twice in Newcastle, so long ago now.
Newcastle Australia?
@@nmp290765 yes.
where was this ? what a wonderful time for one of the world's best bands ever
It was June 15 1986 at Dolce Vita, Lausanne, Switzerland - (as in the description!)
God
Great to hear 'To Reach Me' and 'The Wrong Road' performed live :D
Two of their very best songs lyrically!
How heavy does 'In the Core...' sound live!?
Heavy. But strangely Grant doesn't sing the best bit (the middle eight)
Why are the guitars so soft and drowned out by everything else. I've noticed this on any live Go-between performance, amateur or professional videos and even the reunion shows in the 2000s. Those songs with beautiful shimmering jangle guitars are really lacking live as the guitars are more or less absent. Did someone suffer from tinitus for them to set the guitars so low that even the bass dominates them?
Because it's a low budget recording, you idiot. Look at the year. Can you imagine the equipment involved? Nah, I guess not. Sheesh!
With Spring Rain, Grant looks ready only half-way into the song. I don't know who did the instrument setups, probably the band themselves, not like major bands with an entourage of roadies etc. Missing reverb and delay for sure.
They sound bloody terrible..lol
Gee the girl has the hardest job the tambourine
@lindymorrison1
I absolutely love your work with this band. Thank you!
