The sound of the bass guitar on this track is simply amazing. Peter Hook, Steve Severin, and Simon Raymonde captured such amazing tones with their distorted basses. Beautiful.
In 1987, my possessions were simple: a futon, a turntable, two large speakers, and a bookcase brimming with books. Reflecting on those days, my turntable seemed almost like a shrine to the Cocteau Twins. I would often turn off the lights, play their music, and light candles to set the mood ✦•┈๑⋅⋯ ⋯⋅๑┈•✦
WOW! You've totally made my day. Every week I type "Cocteau Twins" in the search field hoping to find something like this. I'd rate it 100 starts if possible.
I'm like you first heard their music a few years ago I think it was oh the wonderful Pandora from Treasure that introduced me to their world. Right after I heard their sound it had an instant impact on me almost like a spiritual movement and I haven't looked back since. I'd love to share some music especially with a fellow Cocteau Twins fan ;).
1000DRUMZ As a young man, and a "Cocteau Twin" fan from the early 1980's, I somehow imagined that I was hearing melodies and rythms reminiscent of a celtic lullaby, or sometimes what I imagined to be a Druidical rite! I thought these things years before I became aware of the bands "Caledonian" origins! Blaine
talent on loan from God. what great musicians. love this sound. the Cure has this also, in their early years. who came first? were they aware of each other? the Cure went top 40, & CT didn't.is that a good thing or not for both parties. would they change situations if they could?
@boardy777777 Again my friend, you puzzle me. I've loved Elizabeth Fraser for almost 30 years! I believe her to have one of the most unique voices ever, and her talent is unasailable! Blaine
there must be something in the air in sweden, which made liz fraser delivered a top notched live performance. i have often been disappointed seeing and hearing her live, but here she really delivered vocally. any chance you may have videos of dead can dance's live performance in stockholm from 1984 and bel canto's dewy fields.
there's one thing i don't like very much in cocteau twins studio recordings. liz's voice is mixed too low and with too much reverb IMO.and that's a real pity, 'cause their music is terrific. that's why i like so much live performances like this one where we can hear all the colors and appreciate how she plays with it.

Hello dear 1000DRUMZ. I realized a tribute to Cocteau Twins for the album Stars and Topsoil. And you are in. I thank you very much for your beautiful video. Please visit the channel « Au champ de l’harmonie » if you want to watch it. Kiss and melody.
here she sings ! other times she just screams and acts weird. but this is very nice!! :)~ when she came to san Diego I was so disapointed she came on stage there were no musicians just a play back ! that night mazzy star did the opening Hope sandoval was way much better than elizabeth that night. I walked out of there and got my first Mazzy star CD.
@boardy777777 I'm a bit confused my friend. I've adored the "Cocteau Twins", for almost 30 years. What could I have posibly said that you find objectionable? Blaine
Santohassong apparently likes arguing about "nothing". Liz has beautiful unstraight teeth and is musically incarnate beauty, therefore my love. BTW, this is no place to clear your chest or empty head.
The sound of the bass guitar on this track is simply amazing. Peter Hook, Steve Severin, and Simon Raymonde captured such amazing tones with their distorted basses. Beautiful.
Flanger, and Simon Gallup used it to great effect too.
the best band ever! Cocteau Twins rock!
her vocal is AMAZING here!
Hooray! I am 12 years old again. God bless the Cocteau Twins for helping me through a crazy adolescence - Liz Fraser forever - pearly dewdrops drop!
Absolutely beautiful, fabulous, I am 14 again!
me too! 😁 I heard this song on the radio...& immediately bought the album :)
they had a sound that could never be replicated....I could close my eyes and let this one play forever.
She's in the zone and totally relaxed here! Yowzers!
They were truly at their best right here ...my God that's beautiful! If you just close your eyes you'll feel like you're flying.
Well said! It’s ethereal.
The way that guitar reverbs at :19. That slight pitch change in her voice at :55. There are so many things I love about their sound.
really good live recording. Timeless beautiful and poetic.
One of only a few songs that can make a grown man cry.
Didn't follow the CT's in the 80's - But this song is great and haunting - touch of the Cure's guitar - Lovely

WOW! You've totally made my day. Every week I type "Cocteau Twins" in the search field hoping to find something like this. I'd rate it 100 starts if possible.

100drumz you are a (5)star poster! Fantastic video. What a sound, what a song, what a voice. Sounds awesome live
Thank YOU! LOVE the Cocteau Twins. But I am glad they stopped when they did. Such an under rated band.

Excellent song from a great band.
What a stunning video! It's so special to hear, even see, CT live!!! Thanks so much for putting these up!

Robert Smith about Cocteau Twins ua-cam.com/video/2jZcUZ8espA/v-deo.html
I could only dream that Robert would do a track and get Liz to sing on it.
the Twins did indeed crack the Top 40 several times . With this song in fact also .
Robert was very aware and a fan, and even sites "Treasure" as the album as one of his favorites and he listened to it the day he got married.
Qué hermosa canción ❤❤❤❤❤
What a voice, wonder what they would make of this on the x factor lol
Magicccccccccccccccccccccco!
That is what life is for...
great.
damn

Look what happened with all the excitement of seeing new live stuff, i go and spell whole wrong XD

@dogmart agree with all three....Simon Gallup as well
Musica para volar
3:09 I wonder who she was looking at that made her laugh lol
+anthonymm511 Same person she smiled at during Millimillenary praps... :)
'Ere, I was going to say that!
3:10 :)
And, I would say, musically!
chido!

Dude....been a fan of Cocteau Twins for almost 20yrs somehow should have enlightened you in their nationality.
@sergie1969 good ah
This song reminds me a lot of Age Of Consent by New Order. Look it up and tell me if you agree. (I am in no way calling this a ripoff).
