@NRVERTAKEMEALIVE Lucky you! I never got to see them Gregory, and that's my favorite lineup.

Such a brilliant and unusual song, and one of my very favourites ... Love watching this live version, and seeing the fun and energy that the boys had on stage with it ... Thanks for posting ! ... Wayne

Poignant, that a performer who is so magnetic and 'born-to-do-it' ultimately didn't want to be up there. The industry (and specifically their management) chewed these boys up and spat them out. Fortunately (for us) they didn't leave it there, and recorded some albums of pure gold.

Played this track on Black sea tour in 1980, saw it in Southampton, at the end of the track they flashed strobes in time to the sound of a helicoptor blade, gave me head spin and I nearly fell off the balcony! Bloody Brilliant tho.

@lennymullett That's a huge call. I love the Talking Heads sooooo much. But I agree Lenny, XTC are on my top 3 list, just above the Talking Heads

@NRVERTAKEMEALIVE didn't the music press love them?

Saw them in March 1980, Kitchener, Ontario and took a bunch of photos. If I could only find them now. A few years have gone by since then but yes, what a great live performance.

I must say Dave Gregory is a mighty fine guitar player.

Austin Lucas

I really have to learn how to play this song for both guitar parts, the bass and the vocals.

Hi guys, aqualash go2 was xtc's second album white music was the first, i reckon still around '77 though(it has a cover of 'all along the watchtower' on). Both had barry andrews on keyboards. Drums and wires was the first with dave gregory on 2nd guitar.I saw first line up once around 78/79 then around 6/7 times with gregory. Great gigs fantastic pop songs but also very clever music and lyrics, maybe too clever for the music press??

Rock on.
