Dead Can Dance - The Children's Toy (Live 1986)

[mari6741]

Yes! More please... About the tour. Sublime!

[millyskarsol]

is from hannover soxs, right?

[jasonreedrn]

Sounds kind of ommpah-ish. These guys could make anything sound pretty awesome, though. I'm loving Ms. Gerrard's totally radical hairdo. Great video!

[Mavrakakis]

They are going on tour again in 2012... I just can't wait!

[sama3033]

@Mavrakakis

Are you sure about that? I'd love to know more about possible dates and places?

[Grithron2]

This is probably the most famous rare DCD track. It was in their live set for years - but BP has repeatedly stated that he hates it and will never release a version of it.

I like this version a lot - it sounds great with brass!

[siouxsieandziggy]

ME, a MAJOR DCD fan....never seen this before......I love you for who posted it!!!!!

[beautyz]

LOLO this is madly bad



[dcultivate]

@beautyz who cares? it's still rad and has a magical, vintage quality to it. the audio isn't all that terrible. i think it's special.



[returnoftheramble3]

i want their "toys." weapons of terror like you can't even imagine.

[returnoftheramble3]

well, we're all in Hell because we have sex. It will end the world because the world is red and in the flame. Angels don't love, they know.  I need a band like this. I don't fit the part as well.

[katremer]

The video is as horrible as a nuclear war. I can make out the song though. Will have to find some DCD bootlegs.

[VideogroneSF]

This is a great song. It can be found on lots of their bootlegs. I have a few versions that just go amazingly haywire. Thanks for the amazing video! I first saw them in 1993 in New York and this was out of rotation by then.

[AcidPuppy]

Always loved it when they played Childrens Toys!!

[Agarthalien]

[jlk1333]

[kekoadevi]

[ogleogre]

I'm fascinated by that Yang T'chin that Lisa is playing. It also appears on the 4AD album 'It'll End in Tears' on the track 'Dreams Made Flesh'.

Magic stuff....thanks for posting this, Xantheum!

[CowardsBendTheKnee]

Lisa has used it extensively, yes. It has a really nice sound. When i lived in Madrid a subway musician played it as well. Every time i saw him i gave him a coin ;)

[pacingBlue]

[fhw4979]

I've always loved this track. The dulcimer sounds like a quirky musical children's toy. Until today I had never seen a video for it, only bootleg CD.

[SMIGSMITH]
