[Fireperv]

I remember the Teardrop explodes at Erics in 78, on the same bill as OMD,got my ticket the night I saw Xray Spex...happier and simpler days.

[icecreambang]

thanks - glad you enjoyed it!

[themachman19691]

this is brilliant.seen him do something similar by the everyman theatre.the man really is a genuinely talented.this looks like it was outside flanniagans apple?thanks so much for posting

[PeregrineTrousers]

Nice vid. He looked a bit rattled by a screaming midget at one point. Later the old biddie walking past balances out the over emphasis of the old leather-boy sun glasses in the rain. The green spotlight enhances dim lit shopping mall brings out the shiniest foreheads who settle into the groove

[icecreambang]

@tw28st --- the cameraman! ; )

[frandelico]

What an absolute gem...

[vengavenger]

it's 'sleeping gas', by the way!

[ryko26]

interesting little microscosm of England. Only England would produce a totally orignal gem like Julian Cope and only England would produce children as repugnant as those seen here.

Jung said it, Ginsberg knew it, Drummond proved it, Cope knew it, Thatcher hated it.

Liverpool is the centre of the creative universe

Just stumbled over this, looking for Poppies In the Field, St. Jules still got it. But yeah, those scally brats need a slap.

[58boy]

How under-rated and under- valued is Julian Cope ?The man is a genius and a truly brilliant songwriter. He should be made a national treasure. Keep cutting through the crap mate. Some people do get it. Right ?

[leigh2040]

spot on mate, well said

[phantasysound]

@58boy We do

[wearenotwithyou]

Legend. Pure Legend!

[2dzombie]

wonderful song, wonderful guy

someone needs to get there kids to shut up!

[hjstrole]

This is sooo GROOV-I! It's like a tonic of one part Woody Guthrie, one part Ronnie Lane and a whole bunch of righteous good vibes. Grey never looked so far out!

[Sidthecrow]

Argh walk down Matthew Street every day and this never happen!

[RoseblueShaman]

Julian ROCKS!!!!!!!!

I would PAY him to do this in the USA...

Mighty Carl Jung needed to go longer.....What a MAGNIFICENT Song......

agree with others... People in the background should SHUT UP!!!!!  I want better recordings!

Go Saint Julian!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wildenfree]

Wish Cope would do a proper concert playing all this early

stuff again, and I wish the annoying kids would just fuck off and let him play.

[silverdancinghorses]

Pretentious, self indulgent, contrived shit.

Ohhhh Look at me I'm a Looney Tune

Julian Your middle Class roots betrey you

[thisrainykitten]

you've left the same comment on other Julian's videos. if his middle class roots offend you, why do you keep returning, just curious. he's out there, doing his thing, executing his vision. what is wrong with that?

[dermot51]

you my son are a fuckin snob a know your place reactionary wanker your not fit to lace his drugs

[texlahoma]

Genius!

[giNgkoC]

poor little sods, they never get it

[turbid]

Perfect opportunity to get to play "5 O'Clock World" during the home bound commute.

[glitterglue66]

A little bit of Drude history! 2008 was the year Julian Cope embarked on his guerilla busking tour with his fellow Black Sheep. This captures it and brings it to us to never quite got there. Thanks.
