A nearly twenty minute version of Sue. The audio is a bit rough, especially at the beginning, but it gets better and I LOVE the footage. Highly encourage watching it all the way through. Some very fun moments and images. Enjoy!!!!
These videos of yours are what I fucking live for. Sure I love the BJM but FANTASY is so fucking far out. Can you tell me a little about them? a little about the members? drugs? haha i want to know more about Fantasy in particular. google doesn't bring up anything! so underrated. also kudos for having the earliest BJM footage on RU-vid haha
Super happy to hear you are enjoying these videos. Even happier that you are discovering bands like Fantasy. I see you made another great comment on their Chanel video. I'll do my best to give you more info on Fantasy as a reply ever there. Thanks again for your kind words and appreciation!!
holy smokes the boys look like they just came from the accounting firm and Joel shapeshifted into Mara K (?) plus a Go-Go dancer ! oh boy that show was probably outta sight 👍
That's Dean Taylor. It's interesting because I just commented on the video from later in 1995 about the improvised jam towards the end and how that was how a lot of the early material got written. We'd start with a jam and a few good parts would stick out and be repeated the next time, until enough parts stuck for it to be a song. It appears Sue is in the middle of that process here, although it had been kicking around since Travis Threlkel was in the band. It originated with Travis, myself and an acoustic guitar in a park, trying to write what we thought a Lou Reed song was like, so it had to be just one chord and about a sex worker. We played it for Anton as a joke and he loved it and wrote more lyrics. It became the go to ending jam song, going through several permutations until solidifying into the version that was recorded for Give It Back.
