Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians "Birds in Perspex acoustic

[fabrikk60]

Andy Metcalfe and the Egyptians...I SO wanna get an acoustic bass guitar!

[Wazabooz]

I wonder if I've got the same acoustic guitar. Hard to tell from this video but it looks the same. The label says "Aria" (I know nothing about guitars)

Anyone happen to know what he's playing here?

[AMeatBeetle]

Fantastic! Thank you for posting this.

I remember this! An MTV crew caught RH & the E's one night hanging out at the backstage door between sets and cajoled them into playing this. The effect at the time was like acoustic lightning. Wow! Thanks.

Thanks for sharing! I simply adore Robyn, love everything he does.

Best thing about Robyn, other than the massive talent and the amazing endless creativity...his teeth. He has the most adorable teeth I've ever seen. His smile makes me smile, but his *teeth* make me smile as well. They're smiling teeth.

Oh, yes, and this video! Haha, it's wonderful that there were people out there had the foresight to record these types of things. Especially with Robyn. I really loved this. The song is lovely and you are lovely for posting it.

Many thanks.

Thanks. Biographical/historical notes would be appreciated. Or is that too much work? Anyhow, the performance comes through, regardless of and in spite of of the dearth of information.
