An otherwise unreleased This Heat song! Did it appear on on one of these guy's post-TH albums?

@morganfitzp GREENFINGERS BY CAMBERWELL NOW

[jamesjacket]

my favourite band!!!

[riethc]

How come I've never heard of these guys? Oh yeah, because they suck.

[93Zos]

I'd love to record some stuff with Charles Hayward. He's a master.

[thegoodlead]

I must have seen them live about 20 times between 1978 and 1981. My favourite gigs were the ones at the outdoor Crossfields Festival in Deptford that used to be held on August Bank Holidays. Happy days.

[horseloverfatjr]

I'm completely gobsmacked. Just in awe of this wonderful band.

[idektron]

yowser

[SlamJaw]

Such a strange and captivating band with a creepy mystique about them. There's nothing else quite like This Heat.

I use to have that bass, a Peavey T-40. If you ever get the chance to buy one, do it, they are cheap and awesome, pretty close to a ric sound. But also get yourself a chiropractor. They weigh as much as a tank.

So awesome to see some footage of This Heat live, such a fantastic band. I like how the cameraman has trouble figuring out who's singing.

[AceOfWands9000]

Great to see them - only they were more Sonic in their Youth ;) e.g. I'd LOVE too see some of their earier gigs, when they were sooooo intense - I remember one when they were on with Charles 'Blood' Ulmer that was awesome .. THIS is spooky, but the earlier gigs were .. Wheahhhhhh !!! Oh wow at 4.50 you get just a BIT of the *Intense* This Heat - Moooore !

[noddyholder79]

thanks for a snapshot of the past. I've been trying to write about my mother and father and this has provided the perfect backdrop whaddya sayin i was alienated???

[saxophones]

THE GREENFINGERS MELODY KILLS ME

[liepos]

At the beginning there is some guy talking to the camera man in german. Probably this is Krefeld.

[blackballplayer]

From what year is this? Looks like after 1981 which is when I saw them in London.

[postyesterdayman]

I love This Heat and the equally amazing (if not moreso) Camberwell Now. But hey, what band do we see a snippet of at the beginning of this great video? Interesting two seconds, that.

[jojoweirdo]

I must say it was tasteful for you to post these this heat live videos.

[digger24752]

"Advertising has no effect on me"

[redshaftedflicker]

WOW!  All I can say is WOW!!!!!

[mebbmebbmibbmibb]

what band is right before them?

for like 1 second?

[sisterray060]

yea i wanna no too must be gud enough if der in the same gig as these guys

[bbonzozt]

@mebbmebbmibbmibb

Hi, the band at the beginning was called Pension Stammheim, they were from Bonn. The concert looks a lot like the one I saw at the 'Stollwerck' in Cologne. It was really breathtaking.

[Monstruarte]

GREAT BAND!!!!

[TallFastLoud]

Not to get all high and mighty but this stuff transcends punk. Something about it just sounds deep but also just purely, basically awesome.

[handlinsd]

Ya know, it's often shoehorned into "post-punk"

[mrcellar]

anda pala mielda.

[culixoshea]

You may like to know that Flaming Tunes, the album Gareth Williams made when he left This Heat gets its first CD release in the next few weeks. Visit LifeAndLivingRecordsDotCom.

[nubient]

Charles Hayward has a new band ALBERT NEWTON, catch them at the Birds Nest in Deptford on Nov 29th ...

[Zaplahea]

this concert was played in germany i think.

at second 14 you can hear a man saying: 'geh weiter nach vorne!

[Funch]

"now that we've got green fingers"

[inudaisuki2010]

I like them!

[seagull72]

incredible. thanks for uploading.

[thirdshift47]

Love how this song just disintegrates into a wonderful mess.

[thirdshift47]

To alien to be Punk,even by New York standards.The misfit fathers of Post-Rock,still ahead of the game.

[thirdshift47]

OOps! I meant too,not to...

[benlyking1]

Charles Hayward is my best friend's dad!

[skeletora]

@benlyking1 jealous!

[fasolplanetarium]

@benlyking1 Does your best friend breathe in polyrhythms by any chance?

[Phimister9]

@benlyking1 Jealous! I'd love to meet him!

[draconianlife]

@benlyking1 You lucky little... I'd love to meet the man.

[audiotrauma]

wish there was more this heat footage on you tube :(

anyone know if there was ever a video released

[epic45]

shit hot!!

didnt think id ever see them performing live!

english - proto math-rock - folk,if you will.

beautiful.

[hajke2]

I don't understand: I thought Green Fingers was a Camberwell Now song, and This Heat was som years before? Who tells me?

Anyway: had the luck to see Camberwell Now live in Horst, together with some 30 other freaks.

[NitroFish84]

Camberwell now, as I'm sure you may know was born from the remnants of This Heat. Trefor Goronwy (bass player in this video, because that is not Gareth Williams) and Stephen Rickard joined CH to start Camerwell. Had This Heat recorded "Green Fingers" and the last song on the 2nd part of this live set, an early version of "working nights", I'm sure they would've been known as This Heat songs. But they weren't put to tape due to them disbanding- so C Hayward used them for Camberwell

[hajke2]

Thanks for your explanation

[tagomago91]

how on earth didja find this?

[doubleoseddon]

Wow! how amazing to see this. Saw them in Manchester in the early 80's. You can now get most of their stuff on CD. I'd recommend 'Health and Efficiency' and 'Deceit'

Excellent.

[mattbronka]

punk, prog, who gives a fuck

it was good

[TransducerX]

Prunk? There is the new subsubsubsub genre catch phrase. Run with it!

[cub005]

great - but they were a progressive band, not a punk band ! ( from the horse's mouth)

[Barbaricfellow]

Seen them in 'Vera" in Groningen-Holland in the eighties, a night to never forget! Damn shame they don't make music nowadays as far as i know.

One of the most original bands the whole post punk scene has produced.

[mickgjames]

Blimey, the things you find on YouTube, I remember seeing them playing with terrifying intensity in Hammersmith in about 1979, along with the Young Marble Giants and a sadly forgotten act called Furious Pig. Gig of a lifetime IMHO. This is them in a later, somewhat rockier incarnation.

[thetestisover]

Anybody know the story behind this show and setlist?

[ProfErgonomics]

Thanks for posting precious video.

Through 80s to now, This Heat is big among the serious music listeners in Japan.

[ar1972]

wonderful band , we must rehabilitate them on the top .

[kensatan]

wow! excellent stuff - i never saw then live, so this is brilliant!

[DominickBlack]

Wow...I just discover ThisHeat....I'm on to something!~Hooha~

[pattiern]

If you see him tell him about this comment.

[asdindebimte]

anyone have any idea who that opening band is? (it gets cut out only seconds after the video starts).

[cupol]

Wonderful! I love This Heat but I don't remember having hear this song before. Was it perhaps included in one of the Camberwell records?

[Falloutcookingshow]

Green fingers is the name of the song

[pattiern]

great to see this heat again after so long.does anyone out there in webland know where charles bullen is as an old mate from nuneaton would like to know how hes doing.anyway what happenedto ning and airs of earth????

[manmaas]

Well, he's alive and healthy looking. I passed him on Thurs on The Cut in London, looking like he'd just been to Sainsburys!

[pattiern]

at last. I was wondering what happened to Charles. We used to hang out together back in the 70's.Somtimes I used to roady for him locally. Last time we met he was playing with the "Heat" at a Coventry college in the 80's.Probably the best guitarist I know personally.

[brainfungus]

too bad it's not the original lineup with Gareth Williams. great stuff though thanks for posting

[Carpet32]

Thisn't Heat, more like.

[meettheresidents]

a rather different version of "Greenfingers", cool.

[bardopond]

FattyJubbo, you star - thanks so much for posting these!
