- September 7th + 8th 1979, a chaotic 2 days for me. Friday the 7th we arrived at the Marquee in London for the first time, a support slot for Gloria Mundi. There was the usual treatment from headliners and in house technicians and to top it all we managed to get 'fined' for playing over the 30 minute set ......... Bela Lugosi's Dead hit the 15 minute mark which cost us £33 ! I woke up early on Saturday the 8th and for some mad reason I decided to drive to Small Wonder to pick up 50 Bela 12 inch's. These were the first records that we had and perfect for selling at the Paddock gig that night. I got back from London in good time for my job at the Saints match against Harlequins. I was responsible for organising the turnstiles and collecting the cash. Then I went straight to Harpole for the gig which was sold out. We made £402 and sold £139 worth of signed records. Things were happening fast !!
too shy to go out in the early eighties (and a bit too young) so listened to so much Bauhaus alone in my room.....still the music that connects deepest
What I also love is the opening - a tease of ALL of your other B A U H A U S footage.
Oh my actual god..... There's been a video lurking in the tombs all these years waiting to come out under the cover of darkness some 45 years later?!???
Thank you so much!
There are a lot of people who'd love to read your version of events from 1979-1983.
Peter Murphy= My fucking ACTUAL GOD for sure!!!...
The Soundtrack to my youth !!! Loved the days of this Such a Pioneer sound so Dub and sheer Spine Tingling !! Even Massive Attack are covering It live in 2024 its as they say UNDEAD !!! x
this is excellent, thank you for posting. All that opening percussion, brilliant, evocative of bat wings, tapping branches, creaking doors and floorboards...and I only just realised, underscored by a bossa beat, partly obscured by other sounds. Inspired classic
Thanks for uploading this Graham, I was hoping your hours of early Bauhaus recordings would see the light of day sometime. Good to see the band when they wanted to play together rather than despising the lead singer and just doing it for the cash! I drove past where the Small Wonder Record shop was on Hoe Street the other day - there's a blue plaque on it but I was driving and couldn't read it. Kudos to Pete Stennett for having the balls to release it
thanks ! who are you ????
@@halfmanhalftripod9488 I'm just a nobody who was a huge Bauhaus fan back in the day (not so much now though) so was aware that you had a shedload of footage of the early stuff. I also went to college around the corner from Small Wonder so spent far too much time and money in there!
... actually I'm not sure whether it's possible to spend too much money on records!
Absolutely wonderful to see it again Graham, "excellent"
Excellent footage.😉 more pleaseeeee!!👏
Only went to the Paddocks once. A little too young, so missed a few cool things, this included. The place was a Beefeater restaurant last I saw. That's a nice little piece of beautifully banal Northampton life in the description. Nice to have some happening fast. Though most life is happening slow.
Splendid!! Thank you very much for sharing ❤
