Wonderful! Everything I like about music - pompous (yes manmaas) and grand. Epic piece of music. A bygone era when every musician had to be able to play and deliver!

I saw the Enid a few times back in the 80s, awesome band. They made a hell of a racket for three or four people!!

Some fantastic white lionels worn by the guitarist there...

Unfortunately I missed the Enid first time round, now getting into them. What a great band, also loved the RJG work for Barclay James Harvest, there was only one way for them to go after he stopped working with the. Thanks for the posting, hope to catch you live soon.

@yaybestos I appreciate your concern! Contentment? I never sought it. I'm as angry now as I became back then. I grew up with the politics of my age, I think if I'd continued to follow Enid I would have ended up pursuing an engineering degree rather than one in the Arts. Enid fitted a rather pastoral and nostalgic view of england and left out all the awkward politics of the time. Fair enough, its what they were about and I was initially attracted to it. However, poetry is not always enough.

@manmaas I am so happy for you, I hope you are now content

I was dragged by a girlfriend to an Enid gig at The Marquee in the summer of '79. I was right at the front, squashed against an amp with no escape, and it was probably the most unpleasant two hours of my entire life.
There is a mistake on these credits: robert@theenidi,org is the corect email for info about how to get a copy of the full DVD
