The Chameleons - Thursday Child Hacienda 1983

[diskochimp]

This is the song that got me into them, c/o John Peel...

I found a video for rent on netflix of Mark and the boys singing "Second Skin" from like 1981-82 when they first started out. He looks way younger then during this concert even though it's only 2 years earlier. The video quality sucks but it's the audio is really decent. I think the DVD is called "Home is where the heart is at" and they play that song as well. But watch the song "Second Skin" It's my favorite song.

I could watch when the drums and that guitar riff kick in over and over.

[lordlex7]

Son los mejores,allways under the good sense.

[UnhingedMars]

Excellent vid - one of the best I've seen !

Cheers for posting.

One of the best bands - EVER !

& I hear they're still going strong as the Sun & the Moon again !

Something good had to come out of Middleton & this is them !

[FrankfurtGalaxy4ever]

Unfortunaly The Chameleons split up again after their "reunion" a few years ago. The Sun and the Moon is only Mark Burgess with other members but still amazing!

thank you Chameleon73 for all these wonderful videos of possibly the greatest band ever. I saw sooo many bands in the mid 80s to mid 90s but never saw the Chameleons, much to my regret. Thank you for your kind reply to a previous message. Education is important. Start early :)

So there you go. The best Manchester band since Joy Division (some would say better), lands straight in Tony Wilson's lap, playing in his own club. And he missed them....

[ShortRoundMcFly72]

What about The Smiths?

[Tengocuentadeyoutub]

@ShortRoundMcFly72

[jangenk]

[devildog666666]

[alansready]

[TheChameleons73]

In my country we say honey was not made for the pig's mouth.This is honey.This is mint.This music was made for privileged people like you and me who are able to recognize and value beauty, elegance, simplicity and spirituality.Most people cant do that.

[ManchesterIsCity]

I like that expression very much. One of the best 5 bands in the history of music in my humble but honest opinion.

[BlackSkyThunder]

@TheChameleons73 No está hecha la miel para la boca del asno (honey is not made for donkey´s mouth is said in Spain) I totally agree with opinion, the fact that this group remains so unknown (especially in my country, Spain) made then even greater than they are, however, if they were as popular as U2, I will still love then a lot of more than U2 for example,

[MrDataCode]

@TheChameleons73 To be honest, I wouldnt have it any other way.

[TheRATTLEHEAD75]

@alansready c'est une chance,au contraire!!

[exceller8]

Great sound !

[Cameleonsfan]

In the 80´s you couldnt get much videos about the Chameleons. But now about 20 years later there is so much material about them. Thank you ch73.
