  • What song were they doing before the Vanishing Girl?

  • Vanishing Girl was the first song of the encore. What you see before that was a reprise of the ending of This Will Be Our Year, which ended the main set.

  • Great song. Any video of them doing a song called Kites Are Fun?

  • Replies never seen to work for me when I include a youtube link so all I can say is yes, it's up here. Try a search for "flat five" and/or "kites are fun" and/or "free design."

  • @vicory I agree. XTC/The Dukes of Stratosphear are not an easy band to cover, at least well. To learn the riff properly would be a good pointer.

  • oh to have been there, nice

  • Sorry but this is a terrible cover of an incredible song. You may say "well show me your superior version" but, alas, I can not and will not. I would simply say, work on it some more, and particularly pay attention to the the tone of the main guitar part. A Strat into a Vox amp should get you there.

  • Kudos to the drummer for nailing the fills. Nice performance all around.

  • OK, you are totally cool for even knowing about this song, much less COVERING it, but then your performance hits the cover off the ball. I just wish it was recorded better! Fantastic, keep it up.

  • beauty. You made my Sunday morning with this one.

  • Always wanted to cover that one!

  • Standing ovation here in the UK.

    Bravo.

  • This actually makes me all warm inside to think of bands over the pond covering this kind of classic. It means music is quite possibly not dead. Really nice job!

  • Not very bad at all, the intro was not much exciting but then it started to 'thrill'...

    The vocals are not easy though - at least 3 voces - which I missed here.

    :-(

  • One of my Fav songs ever and you guys did a GREAT job!

  • Not a bad cover. I adore this song. Good bass!!

  • Yeah....Colin Moulding wrote Vanishing Girl

  • surely this is from the moulding mould

  • Great cover! Love to hear people digging into the Dukes of Stratosphear. Everything the Dukes did was great but yet they are almost totally forgotten.

  • You guys fucking rock and quite The Hollies homage from Andy Partridge

  • You're fantastic !!!

  • I love this song. Great cover.

  • I'd cover this song if I had hands. Great...onward and upward!

  • thought we were seeing doublemint two why two why twice vanishing in one did you bring the chapstick? hell no, did you druge around the ice chest? ddid he just say he had heartburn? well you know we can take the kids now, because you know your a redneck if you actually have to get off of youtube and GO check the stove
