I've been a fan since 1985 when I was 16, still liten to them, and will carry them with me throughout the remainder of my life ... and maybe even into the next. ❤
See when you get really old , like me, you get to claim them - it’s one of the few advantages of age. :) Seriously, it’s great to see younger people discover this. Great music is always great music and it belongs to everyone who appreciates it for that. Take it and make it your own, that’s what keeps it alive.
Yep. I saw them live 3 times and feel truly blessed to have witnessed first hand the magic in that immense voice she possesses. I think it came from an unearthly source. I still get lost in the music after all this time.
Saben lo q pasara con Cocteau twins en 100 años mas. Seran reconocidos a un nivel superlativo, su obra sera como escuchar a Mosart o Wagner. Siempre pense lo mismo, desde el primer momento q escuche esa voz y esos sonidos. Ahora tengo 50 años y sigo pensando igual. Gracias Cocteau Twins.
I love this band since coming of age in the late 80s. Despite the cracks and Aid epidemics, most everything was still safe and innocent then because most people were brave, sane and respectful towards others.
It's interesting; I always felt "Golden Vein" to be a lullabye, but I was just playing it out over the piano, and the song in in the key of lullabys: A-major. Same key of Bach's "Goldberg Variations," which were comissioned by a Count Goldberg, who often could not sleep at night. Bach wrote 30 variations to a theme in A major. Bach chose that key for the lullabye. Also, The Cure's "Lullabye" is also in the key of A. I see the A note as an indigo blue, and as an fat oval shape (whereas B-flat is a tall, thin oval, and purple in color. Prince's "Purple Rain" was written in purple). ua-cam.com/video/JjFMh1k9FHw/v-deo.html (one of my visual note-to-color analysis' here on uTube for those interested)
So good to hear Liz singing live and going for it, rather than the ethereal "you get what you get" when she sings live elsewhere. I love the "thank goodness I got through that" at the end of Half-Gift 4:31🙂
She is not lip syncing, one of the very few tiny mistakes she makes is when she breathes on the mic and you can hear it (she also says something audible down the mic right at the end of the first song unless you think for some reason that's on the recording and she lip synced that as well). She is just so technically impressive that you have mistaken it for lip syncing. Please don't claim things as fact without double checking first.
@@mattelliottmusic yeah and one of the reasons they never went on TOTP was because they refused to lip sync so I don't know why they'd make an exception for MTV lol, definitely not lip syncing. Too much class.
We're all waiting for your mind-blowing performances to be uploaded on here, Ein-fuckin-stein of the musical world!! Guess we'll be waiting a while.....

Still got my “cancelled” gig ticket for the UEA norwich in 1983……..£2.50 and never even bothered with the refund ! ❤️

Love each and every song of theirs, but Golden Vein is their most angelical spiritual song of theirs and all time. It bursts me into tears.
Magical
Elizabeth the Peerless. Bless her forever.
Fraser sounds (and looks) amazing here.
My Mum n Dad are from Grangemouth❤
You can tell who are Cocteau Twins fans here and who is just passing through. I’ve listed to them for 35 years, seen them live. Magical.
I've been a fan for 36 years, so I must be a bigger fan I guess...Math.
@@justinbiggs3513 You’ve got me beat! It’s a bit crazy that I have listened to them for so long!
41 years and still going strong. But never saw them live which burns a whole in my soul.

Kinda weird that you feel ownership over this. I wasn't born then so clearly that rules me out
She's always amazing.
Not on FFC tour, she herself stated that she wished that tour had never happened

One of the best Cocteau Twins songs right here.
i should've asked my mother to give birth to me a little bit earlier so that i hadn't missed this live😂
Melted
Beautiful as ever, for ever.
she's so mad, interesting, other-worldly, inspirational.
Silly comment
she's amazing 💫
I think Half Gifts and Rilkean Heart I believe are about her break up with Jeff Buckley.
The whole group is simply amazing!
SHE 2 ME LOOKS BETTER HERE THAN ANY OF HER OLDER VIDEOS & YOUNGER SELF..
Can you imagine laying in her arms with her singing this to you while she runs her fingers through your hair.xx
Um
thats creepy as shit ill pass
@@_quilters Yea
Down, boy.
@@thebeardedseeker5633 WHAT
stunning vocals as usual, thanks for putting this up
So beautiful, but so so sad.
03:26 I hear Leonard Cohen - Suzanne. I have four of their LPs.
I love this band since coming of age in the late 80s. Despite the cracks and Aid epidemics, most everything was still safe and innocent then because most people were brave, sane and respectful towards others.
Crime rate is half of what it was back then, at least it is in the USA.
just so incredibly blissful
Absolutely beautiful voice and performance 😊❤️🌈🎼🎶
Wow I know why I love them so much now xx
Flawless. Exquisite.
...you touched her perfect body with your mind. Leonard Cohen influence to Liz's melody
The jovial intro belies the gutting thus commenced.
Неожиданая подборка, как всегда восхитительно.

Priceless ❤❤❤
Brilliant
Fantastic!
All my love 💖

So wonderful😢
exquisite
Thanx for uploading

Where's that decoding machine? 🤔
This is great upload! by chance do you have any from the Cranberries??
thanks, sorry don´t have any of Cramberries.....
@@Indypendientes para tu punto de vista quien fue mejor para ti Cocteau twins o cranberries??
i have some vodka i could upload
@@DanielRamirez-it4wf No me preguntaron a mí, pero digo Cocteau Twins, a pesar de que Cranberries fue el primer grupo con el que me obsesioné. ¿Tú?
I love them w all my heart for over 30 years… I know their music thru and thru listen everyday and sadly my girl is lip singing this :-(

DOY.
sing like a bird,,,
Imagine if she'd had a much better band behind her....
We're talking about a band that single-handedly created two music genres here, so I'm not exactly sure you mean by a "better" one.
wonderful band...her perfect accompaniment.
@@Iomar1975 Single handedly??
You sir miss the point
Eff right off with that stupid comment.
Terrible performance
We're all waiting for your mind-blowing performances to be uploaded on here, Ein-fuckin-stein of the musical world!! Guess we'll be waiting a while.....
What does a good performance sound like then?
