Throwing Muses - Dragonhead (live, june 1989)

live at the '89 Glastonbury Festival.
Tanya Donelly song

'Dragonhead' is a pretty rare sight, since TM only rarely performed it before or after their 1989 tour. For me the highlight of the song was Tanya's wild amp-assisted feedback-sculpting guitar "solo" at the end of the first half of the song, but unfortunately the cameraman here was aiming at Kristin and didn't capture that part of the perfomance.

They did do it again though! I saw them at Leeds University on the last tour Tanya did with them and they did it then - it may have been unrehearsed - I seem to remember everyone was shouting out for it and they did it but but Tanya's voice didn't cut through to well - mind you it was years ago I may be wrong. They definitely did it though.

thanks for the correction. i've heard 3 or 4 concert recordings from The Real Ramona tour and Dragonhead wasn't on any of those setlists so i just guessed they didn't play it at all that tour, but it looks like i guessed wrong.

Tanya Donelly had one of the sweetest and most vulnerable voices in music.

A youtube gem this video is. Kills me that 1989 was my High School graduation year and this brilliance was happening unbeknownst to me. Took me 2 more years to catch the Muses bug

She went into another profession. Too bad she is so talented.

I'm gonna correct it back now though, I think it was Green I was thinking of that they did in Leeds after repeated shouts from crowd! sorry.
