The Triffids - ABC's Blah Blah Blah, 1988 

Love Andrew Denton's intro, at first wildly shrill, and then exaggeratedly chill as he announces with a sweep of his arm ''The Triffids''.

The Triffids nearing the end of the 80's and their long voyage of brilliance coming into land. A soulful set of songs, Hometown Farewell Kiss is this set's apex. Oh yes, I could listen to Graham sing country all day long!

Saw them at Melbourne uni march 1988 great concert great band rip David mcomb greetings from manly australia

Wonderful footage. The Triffids at their peak in 1988 (as far as playing live is concerned) Lovely stuff xx

Seeing THE TRIFFIDS live in GHENT at the time of BORN SANDY DEVOTIONAL(Flanders, BELGIUM) was one of the greatest concerts I ever witnessed. The record CALENTURE was and is equally brilliant. TREELESS PLAIN is underrated....David MCcomb's lyrics were -to quote STEVE KILBEY- worthy of DYLAN.

This amazing live performance is one of the best I’ve seen of The Triffids! It’s a great recording and shows David’s voice and all the instruments beautifully 👏👏👏👍👍🙏❤️

what a band. they should've been huge , ditto the gobetweens.

Love The Triffids, and captain Cook didn't discovered Australia, the portuguese did.

When the ABC used to support local comedy and music. Barely a shadow of its former self now.
