Cocteau Twins - [Brixton 1982] Part 1/2 // Alas Dies Laughing + Wax And Wane

Cocteau Twins - Alas Dies Laughing + Wax And Wane (live Brixton, Ace) 1982. Broadcasted on November 8th 1982, part of the 'Whatever You Want' UK TV program.

More infos from cocteautwinsforums.com:
This gig, like all those recorded for the TV series, took place at the Brixton Ace not the Brixton Academy. This Cocteau Twins performance was first broadcast on 8 November 1982 and therefore could, conceivably, have taken place just a few days before that. The series was repeated in January 1983 under the title of 'Whatever you Didn't Get'.

Ahhhh fuck. Killing Joke, The Banshees, Dead Can Dance, Joy Division, Cocteau Twins. The early 80's when music, angst and artistic expression was fucking real and at its height. Tears to my eyes. This is M A G N I F I C E N T

I never tire of watching this appearance.

Wow! With Will Heggie on bass. One of the most amazing bass players of all time. Never thought I'd see this. Fantastic!

I gotta look you up bufon63. I searched this vid because I have been fixated for the last week on the latest Sleigh Bells album. Female singer, two guitars with no bass, and drum machine. Check out this band - it's harder audio wise, but speaking as a 20 year long Cocteau fan...check them out.

Great footage. I remember this TV show with envy, Channel 4 didn't broadcast in my area (unless you lived on a hill - seriously!) until late 1983. And the minute we got C4 they stopped broadcasting progs like this with great line ups. Instead we got the over-rated Tube, which for every Cocteaus appearance there were 20X Paul Young,Tina Turner, King (remember them?) clips
