    There’s more original song writing in this 15 set gig than most bands could hope to achieve over a catalogue of 100+ songs. And the scary thing is perhaps their greatest work never saw live performances. Can you imagine this show with the added delight of live versions of That’s Really Super, Supergirl, Dear God, Mayor of Simpleton, Peter Pumkinhead, Across the Antheap, Easter Theatre and on and on

    God, they're so fucking good. Andy is such an electric performer. You can't tell his brain just isn't into it. To a casual observer he's having a great time. Too bad, but thank goodness for video recordings.

    Just to echo a couple of other comments on here, I saw them at Blackpool with about 150 others. Despite some obvious bemusement at how few of us were there, the level of performance and energy was exceptional; really great live band.

      I went to see Black Grape when I lived in Hamburg where this was filmed and there was about 25 people there. Shaun Ryder comes on takes one look at the crowd and goes, "I've seen worse." Me and my girlfriend were in the middle of where the audience were supposed to be with no one near us. Afterwards my girlfriend said to me, "That guy kept staring at me" (Bez)

    This is AMAZING. I guess I never realized the energy they brought live, given their later and great years. How I wish I could see the timeline where they played their later music live, with a live interpretation and energy on those great tunes. Would never want to lose the studio versions, but long to see the evolution of their live interpretations...

    Dangerous band for a young musician to get into - as I was 20 years ago. If they couldn't truly break through then what chance do you have? XTC are a lesson in futility. I fucking love them, but most punters don't know they are one of the best.

    • @misterbonzoid5623

      'Most punters' don't know they existed. I know people in the UK pop music industry who made or broke bands on a whim - know-nothings with money and influence. The classical world would have given them the respect they deserved if that had been their genre.
