Henry Cow - No More Songs

[paullavan2011]

marksombrero - Yes, I totally agree - sorry for the delay in replying!

[krnewman]

great to see Georgie Born playing. Not too easy to find. She's great

[paullavan2011]

Great Toyah-esque vocals and an incredible bassist - a fitting tribute to the work of the Great Man.

[marksombrero]

@paullavan2011 sorry but i think Dagmar's on a different level to Toyah .........

[myfaithmydestiny]

one of my favorite songs of all time !!

[oldsynner]

Thank you!

[nomenklaturahippie]

Bellissima. La loro migliore canzone per me. Struggente, da ascoltare per l'eternità.....

[96ThePericles]

From which album is this song?

[BernardMontmartre]

@96ThePericles

None. It was only played live

[96ThePericles]

@BernardMontmartre OK. Thanks.

[Sendog666]

@96ThePericles This song is a cover of Phil Ochs(as it said in the description box).

[Hyardacil]

Gorgeous and intense.

[bombitza]

she reminds me of peter hammill.

[diddywahdaddy]

Just the very thought of vintage Henry Cow footage EVER...and colours???!!!

[wagneruacari]

Fantástico, thanks, Mercy, obrigado!!!!

[SamHO]

LOVE DAGGI

[7Beyonder]

THIS is amazing...to actually see this band perform live....I have most of their recordings, live in the USA, so Ive never saw them peform. I love RIO, Zappa, the Italian prog band AREA

[TheProclaroIndonesia]

Great song ...!

[alifeofarcticsounds]

even in the manliest clothes ever dagmar krause is sexy.

[odujejnas]

良いですねえ。たっぷり見たい。

[JanahiPiero]

i love this song

[drmanny1957]

I seem to remember that Georgina Born played bass guitar on "1/2 The Sky" off the Western Culture album.

[mitzjob]

Dagmar nails it...Anyone wanting top this version Phil Ochs' masterpiece...Good luck...

[elephanta2]

They are the best British band in late 70's.

[elephanta2]

@elephanta2 Henry Cow and V.D.G.G.

[quercusrobur2002]

Henry Cow performed this piece when i saw them live at the Queens Hotel, Westcliff on Sea in 1977

[dezeehond999]

HEAVY, HEAVY version... has to be a tribute to Ochs as he died that year (1976), or did they play it earlier? Check the clip elsewhere on You Tube of Ochs filmed miming to 'No More Songs' whilst standing in a ruined building where the graffiti "Earth Love it or leave it" is sprayed.

[sleep1937]

man that's brilliant.

[unfolk]

I remember this one in concert back in 1976/77... one of the best live experiences in my life.

[cesarmalopoet3169]

This is real music, awesome.

[meltedmoonlight]

Dagmar, you are so beautiful.............

[thegreatcarlusx]

Love it!

[sydbarret12]

ART BEARS

[saengerinclarisse]

I like this record very much ;-)

[AMeatBeetle]

Oh my goddess, this is incredible. I've listened to both Ochs and Henry Cow for decades, and had no idea this recording existed. Thanks for posting.

[Qwoonsweird]

Magical ! Thanks for posting.

[hfhf2008]

Many thanks for this post!!!! More Dagmar please!

[nicdafis]

C'est fantastique, merci beaucoup. Je n'ai jamais vu le film de Henry Cow auparavant. Ils étaient grands interprètes. Une belle surprise!

[schragemusik]

Yes. Thanks for posting this. Henry Cow were one of my favourite bands (saw them a few times) and Dagmar is absolutely peerless. Her 'Tank Battles' is worth a few hundred listens. As is anything by Art Bears.

[curseddeath]

Amazing, thank you.

[hirofan]

Phil Ochs' antiwar song "I Ain't Marching Anymore" is one of the most powerful songs ever written.. brings me to tears. I'm pleased to learn that Henry Cow covered one of his tunes. ♥

[YT0801]

アップ、ありがとうございます

Cette musique est merveilleuse.

Questa musica e meravigliosa.

Esta musica es maravillosa.

Diese Musik ist wunderbar.

Esta musica e maravilhosa.

[glitchesandglitter]

thankyou for posting this. this is the first henry cow footage i've seen.

[threeby8887]

Far out. The Most Intimidating Vocalist In Art/Progressive Rock in all her glory. And at this time, from what I understand, she was not in the best of health.

Which only makes this performance all the more remarkable.

[threeby8887]

And D definitely want to point out that she is one heck of a singer, even if her voice takes a little getting used to (and some can never deal with Krause's singing).

[threeby8887]

Oops. I meant "And I definitely..."

[beredna1]

Fantastic and beatiful song

[0chromiumdumbbelle0]

and these videos are amazing to see!

[0chromiumdumbbelle0]

Dagmar is my hero

[mackecm2]

life is strange.. i've beeen a henry cow fan since 1975. Now I need to find out more about Phil Ochs!

[Nic33rd]

Now if only I could find some live footage of Art Bears.

[TheMitzjob]

dagmar...nuff said

[riga25]

Krause was (an still is ) a fantastic signer, Frith, Cutler, Cooper form the finest band I know! Thanks folks.

[BernardMontmartre]

Not quite. Art Bears is composed of former members of Henry Cow, true, but they are different bands.

[lexo30]

True. Art Bears was Krause, Cutler and Frith. Tim Hodgkinson and Lindsay Cooper didn't play with Art Bears, to the best of my knowledge, not live anyway. Georgina Born played bass on the first Art Bears album, but none of the rest of them.

[BernardMontmartre]

Didn't Tim and Lindsay play on the first AB CD "Hopes & Fears" ? And Georgina on the last HC CD "Western Culture" ?

[lexo30]

You are more of a scholar than I am. My AB and HC CDs are in storage right now, but Wikipedia confirms that you're dead right.

[tinytapes]

this is from the box set..go buy it!

[gkorein]

holy awesome

[elusiverobertdenby]

1976 -- that was the year Ochs committed suicide.  Would this be a tribute?

In any event, Henry Cow does right by the song.

[cesarmalopoet3169]

Super,super,this is the first time i seem Henry cow in video,excelent video.

[LordSatanOBoogie]

great video, I have been waiting to see this video for years its nice.

[undersolo]

I have only just started listening to this group and I am thankful for You Tube as a forum to see all of this music. Great group!

[spacepatrolman]

They dereived their name from the composer henry cowell.

[lexo30]

Not quite true - they always claimed that the name was just "in the air" and crying out to be used. They never said that they got it from Cowell. But they might have been being disingenuous.

[joolz2323]

Great clip- fantastic!! Thanks for posting it

[eijanaika69]

quelle joie de les revoir

ça fait plus de 30 ans

apres Soft Machine et avant les beatles, HC a été mon 3eme choc musical

[venicezehul]

It's a big emotion to see and not only listening Henry Cow after more than 30 years. I was lucky to see them in Italy near Venice in 1977 wher they played also this songs. One of best band ever...

[vandertop2]

hpl

[Pighood]

Lucky bastid

[rubycha5]

coucou bernard , je suis aller voir ta piiitiite vidéo ^^ bisou

[BernardMontmartre]

Salut miss Charlotte, merci d'être passée :) Biz.

[vth42]

Great! Thank you!

[vandertop2]

The fact that this amazing video was made available after 33 years gives me some hope that some footage from Magma's 1973/74 concerts will be found .....

[geo5734]

Merci pour cette vidéo, enfin un live d'Henry Cow sur Youtube !

J'imagine que c'est extrait du DVD 40th anniversary box ?? I'm going to buy it !

J'ai vu Henry Cow en concert en 1975, 76 et 77, ça reste des souvenirs énormes... Et les revoir à travers une vidéo c'est fantastique.

[BernardMontmartre]

Yes it is. this video comes from the bonus DVD of the aniversary box. I choosed this song for copyright reasons. The concert DVD just worth the price of bying the entire box. BUY IT! If you are a true fan, you won't regret.

(en français: c'est extrait du DVD bonus du coffret 40ème anniversaire. Pour des raison légales, je ne vais pas publier l'intégralité du concert, ACHETEZ LE, ça vaut le prix).

[MrGeorgeLupine]

Fantastic! Please upload more from this concert.

YouTube needs more live footage of Henry Cow.

[degen549]

Wow! Never seen live footage of Henry Cow before. Thank you!
