[themachman19691]

wtf!!this is rarer than rocking horse shit,cheers for posting.

[pashedmotatos]

The Teardrop Explodes are one of the most underrated bands of the 80's.

Why they never got more recognition is beyond me.

[tw28st]

where was this filmed?

[scotsmaninusa]

toured with this lot when Cope was also their bass player,jonesy on guitar,Dave balfe on keyboards and gary on drums.

[NancyDrewe]

MKQP... Did they open for U2 at this show? Just wondering. Nice one. Thanks.

[cracklydubplate]

excellent, thank you !

[thetopbird]

Ooh, I used to have this on VHS. I'd forgotten it. Aah, Gary Dwyer's hair. Bless him. Copey's is an absolute state. :-)

[tw28st]

amazing tension

[bjmelia]

Gary dwyer on drums folks

[LiquidUniverse2]

Great clip. Thanks for posting ;)

[jimbailey69]

Julian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SPERANZA65]

they both had versions of ( read it in) books.

[tomcatfoxy]

Great clip! Thanks for uploading it. 'Rocky' Dwyer on drums! And they don't make bass players that dance like that anymore. And what are those jodhpurs all about?

[lonelyboy03]

He LIVED in those.

[Stellamust]

@tomcatfoxy The bass player is Alfie Agius. He played with Interview (Virgin band), The Fixx, and Hayzie Fantazie (sp?). Where are you now Alfie?

[chopchung]

When will ANYONE upload something for COLOURS FLY AWAY?.We get REWARD,TREASON etc over and over again.Drowning, i think was from the same album as "Colours".

[lonelyboy03]

First time I heard this. Stellar.

[lonelyboy03]

First time I heard this. Stellar.

[glendaleranger]

McCulloch was in the Crucial Three and then a pre-Teardrop line up with Cope, Mick Finkler, Paul Simpson and Dave Picket called A Shallow Madness

[thejoad]

tart 6th form band

[truemansparks]

ian mcculloch was never in teardrop explodes wikipedia is wrong and the crucial three never actually did anything before they split up

[lonelyboy03]

I thought he was in echo and the bunnymen? am i right?

[truemansparks]

yes ian is in echo and the bunnymen and another bit of trivia is that he gave them the name of their first album kilimanjarro

[LunaSeaSane]

Which I don't have here and deeply miss...

My first teardrop sighting on YouTube.

Kind of special.

[bens508]

Yeah Ian McCulloch the singer later went on to echo and the bunnymen.

[zog97xy]

totally wrong its not ian mcculloch its julian cope

[7223Tanya]

@bens508 was that before or after he was in the beatles?

[xensboy]

julian, unsung genius from wales via liverpool to the unprepared world. a master of melody and originality, full of defects and virtues, with a sharp psychedelic mind. looking for a living john lennon? it's him

[uncooperative1980]

carty and elvis lar!

[scodee]

ian mc culloch was never in the Teardrops,he played with Cope in a band called The Crucial Three !

[blackmore4]

...with Pete Wylie.

[frenchiegas]

Ian McCullough was in original group in 1977 prior to forming Echo and the Bunneymen.

[Sashacharm]

Brings back great memories of seeing them live...!

[alansready]

i will tell you waht is amazing two brillant people in wone band.. Ian Mc and Julian,, no wonder why i love them so..

[sonor23]

Ian was never in Teardrop Explodes .

[alansready]

ian mccullogh was in tear drop exlosed at least that is what it says in wikepedia.

[NCN75]

But that is then apparently wrong. Read Copes book on the band.

[lonelyboy03]

I have read both Head On and Repossessed, but I didn't remember that. Thanks for correcting me, I like to keep my facts straight.

[alansready]

this band is genuis Cepoe is jsut brillant

[alansready]

i forgot all about this band it is just great.. he is so good in these two albums but i do not like him in his slo career.

[savy1234]

Wow, Teardrop Explodes were the first band I ever saw live, Autumn 1980. I would love to see Treason, or Bouncing Babies.

[alansready]

are those two bands with cope?? please tell me??

[savy1234]

Not bands, but early Teardrop Explodes tracks, worth checking them out :)

[uncooperative1980]
