Teardrop Explodes-Reward (Live-The Old Grey Whistle Test )
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 вер 2008
- A bit of post-punk loveliness from Julian Cope and company. This track is probably the most well known from The Teardrop Explodes back catalogue (I think it got into the British Top Ten). Julian Cope (the lead singer) is one of modern life's eccentrics and should be cherished as such.
This video (ripped by Rosamannen) was filmed in 1980 for the Old Grey Whistle Test show.

Genius at work.
Fair play to Mr.Cope who on acid can speak french,play bass & sing...I salute you !
Best comment ever.
Whilst wearing the thickest leather coat with a fur collar 😎, most normal people would have melted like the wicked witch by the end!!
That was my first thought - A leather flying jacket, under studio lights?
he even sounds drunk and half asleep like a real frenchman
@@tonymack66 and acid!
Thanks for posting this! I was a student in the early 80s and remember seeing this on tv. Awesome!!! They were great days, today's young folk have no idea. Cheers.
This brings back fab memories for me! The guy I was seeing in 1984 (to whom I'm married now! That's another story...) introduced The Teardrop Explodes to me with this iconic '80's New Wave song! I think Cope is lovely to look at as well as having a great voice. Happy memories!
cant wait to hear that other story lmao
Excellent rendition and close to the 'single' sound.
Tight bass player that mr Cope.......And a damn good singer! cheers..... !
Julian Cope = Maverick Genius
A powerful live performance of a great song from my youth.
It's not the easiest thing in the wolrd to play these basslines and sing simultaneously
Twat
I'm still just trying to learn it.
And keep it driving like that - not at all easy
I agree, excellent bassline...
Practice 😊
Absolutely fantastic..love it one of those early childhood memories of loving a certain song you hear being played and will never get tired of listening to it
While I was never a fan of the Teardrops, Copey rules and some of his old solo albums are gems, still regulars on my listening rotation. He's quite the interesting author as well.
The best Teardrop line up, I wish Alan Gill had stayed.
legend!
Perfect pop in under 3 minutes. Thanks for uploading this. I love this piece. I saw the St Julian tour and he did not perform this and yes I was disappointed
+norman de bellefeuille Brilliant LP & tour. x :)
Takes me back to school disco and fab nights out as a care free youth
+Helen Wingrave
I agree about the good times.
Amazing.
Just brilliant
Fantastic, thanks for sharing🎉❤
lol, you have just rekindled a memory I had forgotten. I too hassled my father for the same flight jacket! sadly they were over £100 at the time!
Cheers!
Ahhh I can see how the Teardrops and the Bunnymen rivaled each others image even with the army gear and aviator jackets.
I think the Bunnymen nicked the idea from the teardrops!
I sold him that jacket
Very impressed
Top song!
Happy birthday Julian Cope
What a fucking treat
Genius...
Class
I was a jam fan and weller never liked him but he became a great part of my psychedelic youth
Oh yes julian
Pool of Life! full of talented musicians!!!
Good bass chops!
The drummer is/was fit as!!!
Reminds me of my days as an eleven-year-old Dungeons & Dragons player.
Top drawer awsome
great tune.mythered my parents to buy me a flying jacket after this.
More horn sections in rock. Hunters & Collectors and so on.
Listen ✨
Top tune :D
funky
Está banda era epica
wow
You're right Goldie I shouldn't quibble
Back in the days when you had to actually play your instruments and sing without autotune
@James Hodson Yeah, Mehlennial.
@@EllakGr millennials are like 40 now pmsl
Very good , this band is fucking
"Learn to accept your reward everone", it all adds up the same. ;-)
I credit Cope with putting an end to my interest in reading rock memoirs--I felt like I needed a shower after reading _Head On_. His megalomania truly knew no bounds. When the British press wrote stuff like, "The Teardrop Explodes are poised to become the new Beatles [or whatever]...if Julian Cope can keep it together," it was because they already knew he couldn't. The one thing in the book that resonated with me was the joke about the difference between the Teardrops and a cow.
Well.....? What's the punchline?
Angela Riley, a cow has horns out front and a twat in back; the Teardrop Explodes had the opposite.
@@khkartc that's funny,thanks.
@@khkartc I love that 7 years later you deliver the punchline! I'm rereading Head On again third time for me. I agree he is a bit of a megalomaniacal twat !
@@khkartc LOL...Sums up COPEY exactly!!!😛
Very talented bloke. Wonder what he's up to now a days
easy to plot his career on a bell curve-high point -that ritz show!
First time Ive seen JC play bass...
fkin awesome band
Had a bit of a school girl crush on Copey😘
Speaking french in a Scouse accent, good stuff :) Was that Alan Gill who spoke in French?
oogie11 he was from Tamworth Staffordshire and speaks like a Tammie
is he a legend?
@@shahji9735 Yes.
Took their name from the comic book character the Silver Surfer, a line in the text was and then the teardrop explodes
Wow. Very intellectual person.
Shit hot !!! X
My first thought was he looks like Howard Jones punk-rocker brother
Whether Echo and the Bunnymen were a better band is irrelevent anyway. Which frontman went on to achieve solo success, and has since been coming up with seminal albums every few years for decades now? Not Ian McCulluch, that's who.
George Texstel what bollocks the bunnymen are better that anything cope did Ian has made some good solo albums
Kali Kristos what? The bunnymen pissed on teardrop explodes, recordings and live! McCulloch does the same with regards to cope! You obviously know nothing about music so fuck off!
@@paulgrahamedwardspencer5161
Saw the bunnymen a few weeks ago in murcia. A shambles of a performance. Cope still performs live and is engaging and relevant.
Love fist
stranglers.
@LilacNell I agree..I always preferred Teardrop Explodes...Echo and the Bunnymen had some good songs, but some songs for me were a bit dull.
Julian plays a mean bass guitar... :)
Should have had miles more hits
Rodney Trotter on 🎺 trumpet,,😂
Keyboard part similar to Barış Manço - Eğri Eğri Doğru Doğru
That's a. Farfisa organ, yes?
@@whatevershebrings yes
Lose The Belly brought me here.
Casbah rockers...no?
Oh, I am such an idiot...it was Julian Cope who was speaking French...silly me..I should have known better lol
les pattinson in the bass
+Eduardo bracamonte alvarez Really....I could swear Julian Cope himself, is playing bass while singing lead vocals.
Yeah man. Whilst also on amyl nitrate, apparently??????
Dickead.
Wah
Wah. Pete Wylie in the bass?
What you chatting ? Knob. Ed.
They really were this bad.
If my memory is correct, wasn’t his father a exceptional drummer for the Police.
Wasn`t funny when you commented it the first time.
Legend. Julian cope. Stuck to his beliefs didn't listen to u2 shit!
I agree the Teardrop Explodes had some great songs and Copey had some good solo albums but there was a lot of garbage as well, The Bunnymen were a better band imo.
Reward is better than anything E&TB ever did IMO.
yeah,i had no success either,lol.
No idea what the fuck that was but it certainly wasn't French.
These guys sound like Franz Ferdinand. They should try getting their own sound.
Ha ha ha, this song is over 40 years old, I think you'll find it's the other way round.
mac is so much better
theres not one decent live music show on tele.......i cant stand the poser presenters on chan 4
Julian told you.....you didn't understand so you voted Brexit. Shame on you. The world saw intellect, now....not so much...shame on you...
