It was such fun commiserating with Andy on Twitter (pre-X), was heartbroken when he got chased off the platform. Luckily I saved many of his replies to my tweets, especially the one where he praised my cover of The Last Balloon from the King For A Day tribute album...I'll never wash this tweet again!!!! He is one of the finest songwriters ever.
he cracks me up so bad his humor is absolutely brilliant he would have killed it as a comedian anyway apple venus is one of their most gorgeous records I love it deeply
He does suspect himself to be, he was prescribed Valium for what was then known as "hyperactivity" (ADHD) since he was 12, so either way he is neurodivergent

Two genius albums from them imo: Skylarking and Apple Venus. Mr. Partridge is certainly a hoot. A complex, engaging lad.
Holy moley ... I was there (that's me mumbling the first question). What a trip! Thanks for posting.
Where was this?
Chicago??
Yup Chicago!
Andy is hilarious. He'd be a great stand up if you could get him anywhere near a stage
I was there way in the back! I ran over to Borders during my lunch break!

You've uncovered a gem here, thank you greatly for making this available
Didn’t expect him to be this charming
Really appreciate this.Thanks for posting.
Thank you Andy!
Love this, thank you !
Thanks, that was really cool to see!
Wow! My favourite album. What a rare piece of footage. Shame there weren’t more questions about the album itself. Thanks for posting.
Andy was always a gre at comedian.
I was there! Waaaaay too overwhelmed to ask a question.
thanks for uploading :) you should post more xtc vids if you have any others
I don't sadly, but if I come across any more I'll definitely stick them on here
Andy is in form here 😂
Heed the Brownman!
Is Andy Partridge on the autism spectrum? Seems so familiar to me lol
He does suspect himself to be, he was prescribed Valium for what was then known as "hyperactivity" (ADHD) since he was 12, so either way he is neurodivergent
@@franciswhitehead6998 Neurodivergent is the new it word
Where did this happen? What city in the US?
I think it was NYC
@@Wolfcubware Definitely in Chicago.
WXRT is a Chicago radio station
doesnt seem to suffer stage fright any longer
that's nervous energy for you.
Great album, but by that point Andy's egomania had killed the band.
Not egomania… Even Andy feels he’s on the Spectrum. Kudos to Colin for putting up with Andy’s nuttiness for so long. A genius either way.
Don't mistake charisma for egomania
