vintage treats - that batman joker look was ahead of its time. I hear its quite a common fashion for young gentlemen at student goth nights these days.

[pikachops]

rrrrrah i hadnt heard it in years thanks for posting

[bassthing26]

A few moments won't make any difference. Not to me, anyway.

[ZC666]

Wow this is a gem. I saw them at Epsom college as one of my first ever shows as a school kid then 50 or so shows after that. All these videos are so wonderful to watch.

[AndyCares4U]

i hope that you are still going,,i followe you for years but then went abroad your lovely and the best

[MeenGMeenie]

i'm so happy that i just stumbled across this video,thanks for putting it up its awesome!

[kungfuasgaeilge]

My Dad was saying that they often ended a concert with a particular song, with a big confetti/fireworks explosion near the end, is that 'the whole world window', or another song?

[gehennathehorse]

That would be The Whole World Window - you can relive the experience in the video of the performance at Brixton Fridge. Another, later, grand finale song was The Everso Closely Guarded Line.

[kungfuasgaeilge]

Thanks for the info! I wonder how Tim's recovery is going... oh the irony of The lead man in 'cardiac arrest' having a heart attack.

GET WELL SOON, we want that new album!

[pyenapple]

Get well soon, period. New album or not, just get well Tim!

[laughingchris]

@kungfuasgaeilge Actually the grand finale of every Cardiacs gig was Is this the life. Those gigs really were something special.

[WarpainterLea]

They ended the gigs with 'Is this the life'

[eggsbean]

he he ☺ seaside treats vid, almost. who cares, thats the way we all go

[docdaneekaflies]

Hi Zerobee. Was that the Venue in New Cross?

[euruski]

Best.Band.Ever

[zerobee]

I remember seeing them play at a venue in central London with Panixphere about 1984 - can anyone tell me where I was that evening? The old Marquee?

[guanire]

Que arrecho!!!

Larga vida a Cardiacs!!!

[daveisbowie]

Now I'm being taken back to a shared house in Hull, early '90's. Saw The Cardiacs twice at London Uni and Scunny Baths. Brilliant!

[euruski]

Where on Earth did you find this? Grinning like a Cheshire cat here.

[ddddaaaavvvv]

Many thanks...

[gehennathehorse]

Not quite - Graham Simmonds, who is in the photo, seems to have left, though Marguerite Johnston is still there. I reckon this must be around 1983/84.

is still there

[Carpet32]

This is extraordinary! Is this the li....ne-up depicted on the back of the Seaside LP?

[trakmac]

A nice piece of vintage Cardiacs here and yes, I do remember this song.
