I was there swimming about in the pond with my little fins flapping in the air. I so miss the annual pilgrimage to London to see Cardiacs, get well soon Tim, with all the love in my heart, my hero xxx
I keep coming back to this vid... You realize how much of a total genius Tim is and the faith of the band in him and him in the band. Even with everything going on around him he's mentally conducting every beat, with slight hand gestures and facial tweeks and he knows damn well that it's just his own piece of mind he's doing it for.... a completely legendary performance, even after a massive gig and I agree with Thatstidy..i'm a mess after this too. Love him, and Iove the band. Love to all fish
4'40 - 5'04. Watch the crowd turn into blissful underwater plants, swaying in the currents. I have tears in my eyes watching this and remembering the euphoric masses in our little pond. This wasn't the last gig (there were 6 more shows on the tour, ending at Leeds), but this is probably the best documented gig on the tour until Adrian Bell's book comes out in Summer 2011. GET WELL TIM!
This was the wonderful Astoria show 16/11/07, the last ever London date if not the very last (Leeds?). Lots of us were crying tears of joy at the end, including, or so it seemed, Tim. His parting words: "Smashing. Thankyou." No. Thank YOU, Tim! For everything. x
Are you sure it was the Astoria - did they play more than one night there? cos I was at that gig and don't recall them doin this song (which is my fave). Any way untill we invent the De-Distortifying Machine... Happy Days. Fx
@MrOBVIOUSART yes it was definitely the Astoria's and the last song. Couldn't believe that they pulled this off. Awesome. (i think I see me!) Couldn't care less about the distortion heliczer, it's an incredible reminder of a very happy day!
all these limited brain activity arseholes who can only grasp jusin bieber take that including all that shit american rock etc have missed out big time,only sadly a minoriy have enjoyed and will remember these with affection.they deserve somekind of award to contributing towards music,they opened,no blew the lid off music as it stood and created something so new and original.a fan of 25 years says thanks to tim and the rest of course.
I am heartbroken over Tim's misfortune. All the best to You and your family Tim. Your music is part of my being, and its pleasure will be lifelong.. Martin
Love you, Tim.
Love you, Cardiacs.
Love you, big mangled citrus dogear luminous world on a preening post.

I always end up in a mess after watching this. THE most psychedelic band ever.

Cardiacs' last gig was at The Woodhouse Liberal Club, Leeds, 24th Nov 2007. This looks like the last Astoria gig to me. Still great though!

Is this Manchester? Surely some tech wizz could match up these excellent visuals with the pretty good bootleg recording?
