Cardiacs Marenest-02 - The Duck and Roger the Horse

[TheDisplayTeam]

It may be a geeky question, but is Bic Hayes playing a Shergold guitar in this video? (It IS Bic, isn't it?)

[longhairedfop]

I've said it before here and I'll say it again, this is the best gig I never went to. Fortunately I have it on DVD now :)

[ElBastardoAlmeida]

@longhairedfop How?!

[Bunglezip2]

Watched this a hundred times and always something new to see each time!

So hook up that stereo to ya viewing box, turn up high and live!

Who is Jim, who is Jim? . . .

[tallykita]

The definitive Cardiacs!

[tallykita]

Love it!!

[metalli55]

DVD! DVD! PLEASE!

[manticoreisthebastrd]

I could not be more ecstatic that this was recorded the same night at the same venue as Napalm Death's "Live Corruption"

[bromidegulch]

Probably the greatest live video ever. Takes me back to 80s gigs at the Marquee, all sweat, confetti & school uniforms.

[denzo74]

This really is the one of the best live recordings ever.

[jofcn]

has been, and will always be a revelation!!

[jofcn]

life-changing tunes, indees they are!!

[WDeeGee]

Sarah is a fantastic saxomophone player

[neilfunn]

Beyond genius. Awesome.

[Beatrix13]

This really has to appear on DVD. I made a DVD version myself of a copy of the VHS I found on the internet, but I'd buy the official DVD as soon as it would be released.

[jezzerrilla]

I was there in Salsbury on that magical day. Seen them loads of times, the last live show with William in it was very moving, at the front sweating loads only to turn round to see Sara and Tim Q behind us fantastic. The good old days eh? Jammed with Kavos a couple of time a long long long time ago when he was in Die Laughing (Hi Col) Had the VHS but lost now.

[droogless]

I bought them all, And gave them to the members of klaxons, Who never learned anything about originality and only listened to them once before selling their copys to the band clor, who just plagiarized the Tim Smith Fisher Price sound.

[zombiegod]

Years ago they had about 50 copies of this in a £1 shop in Mexborough South Yorkshire. What a fucking waste. I should have bought them all!!!!!!

[funkpuck]

fuck... yeah you shoulda bought them all!

i worship that video

[eggsbean]

loser

[longhairedfop]

fantastic footage, I'm ashamed to say I only discovered Cardiacs this year even though I'm almost old enough to have seen them back when they started :)

Thanks Steve and TallConsultant, in your own words 'is everybody happy' - I think the answer's a resounding YES.

6music tomorrow kids (28/6), Marc Riley's Brain Surgery from 7pm. I can't wait.....

[ady24]

great footage-i've heard the next six months could be a tad busy for cardiacs fans wallets....i hope!

what with two great albums by william d drake out already this year.....i still have my video of this somewhere.

[glazz9]

excellent work! i live in the cardiacs retirement county of worcestershire - when i see dom i'll tell him the consultant's got his mare's nest vid and would like to get it back to him! cheers for the uploads and the direction!!

[PayniePaynie]

My name's Steve Payne. I directed this wonderful concert video. I think everything that could go wrong on this shoot, did go wrong. No one's fault, just weird stuff including a gypsy unplugging to the Virgin Mobil and keys falling off the sax. But ya know, it still looks fantastic.

[tallbastard]

Hi Steve, Its The Consultant (in old money).. so pleased to see your comments here.. and bless you for making this possible, yes its a wonderful record of cardiacs and one of their many peaks.. more to come! whatever happened to the masters.. ?

[Alun53]

@PayniePaynie It would be great if this concert was available again on DVD. What a show, what a band and what a great concert film! Any chance of persuading Tim?

[tallbastard]

Tim has the masters .. this lot was duped off Dominic Luckmans copy.. which I must get back to him one day.. I did try a DVD version but as week speak cant find it.!

[ElBastardoAlmeida]

@tallbastard Try harder! This is an historical document!

[nicdafis]

Any plans for a DVD of this? I had the video but you know...
