EXTRACT FROM 'CALEDONIA UBER ALLES' FANZINE INTERVIEW WITH EDWARD BALL 1985 (UNPUBLISHED)
CUA; Which is better, Cloud over Liverpool by the Teenage Filmstars or by The Times?
EB; I had more fun doing it with the Teenage Filmstars, with Daniel (Treacy) and Joseph (Foster). We were trying to make impossible-to-imagine records.
I've seen them in Neuss at Okie Dokie, it was an afternoon show, later were The Purple Hearts. But I think it wasn't '85, it was a bit later, 86 or 87. Then they were in a big tent in the woods near Ulm, around 1990. And they were in Munich 1984, supported by Stunde X. The Munich gig is on tape, given away with "59to1" fanzine.

Ich war auch in Krefeld bei den Times. Das müßte 1984 gewesen sein. Eine Kneipe ohne Bühne aber ein großartiges Konzert. 1985 haben die Times noch mal im Okie Dokie gespielt. Ach ja, John East´s Frisur war der einzige Wehrmutstropfen damals.

Great to see this! I saw the Times on that Tour (in the "Pferdestall" in Krefeld). Where has this been filmed?

Oh come on! the Teenage Filmstars version was tame in comparison to the This Is London version.
And what a great performance!

AMAZING!!!!! Thanks for posting this. The "This Is London" LP encapsulates the 80's for me.

You should be right - it sounds like the AA-side of "Patrick McGoohan". The Teenage Filmstars could´ve been bigger then the Personalities - and the Beatles.
