@@paulpennington-mv7rt I mean what a colossal talent. No matter how much I practice I will die before I get that good. I mean it sucks that he died but the fact is he got that amazing while he was alive. He peaked in a way few have.
Hail to Renzo Arbore, Gegè Telesforo and Monica Nannini, the three hosts and ideators of "D.O.C." (name of the Italian show where Tuxedomoon played in this video); we owe them a lot. Still need a TV show like this nowadays. So much.
Yes buck, you sure got that right! This is the best I've personally ever seen, and absolutely one of the very best I've ever heard. They were definitely feeling it that night, and they were definitely ON! I believe the drummer was Paul Zahl, they always benefited with him in the line-up, esp. live.
I was super shocked at the news that one of my favorite bands at the time would be on live TV I prepared the videotape and recorded it. The same year the tuxedos played in my city at the theater and at the Brown auditorium with songs by Tenco! Beautiful. And then together with Reininger...... Unforgettable period full of musical events. Great
Thank you for improving civilization with this post of Tuxedomoon, one of the most criminally under-rated bands in history, along with these below: Gun Club (or Jeffrey Lee Pierce), Flipper, Factrix, Joy Division, Christian Death with Rozz Williams, The Screamers, Hans Joachim Roedelius, The Bags or Alice Bag Band, The Weirdos, 45 Grave, The Centimeters, The Fall, PiL ( with K. Levene), Bad Brains.
I am glad you found and enjoyed this video Jason. I know all the other bands you mentioned except Factrix and Hans Joachim Roedelius, I will look into them.🙂
@@ScottishTeeVee Factrix is on the Live At Target 1980 video compilation, also the LP Schientot, also the CD of Factrix. They came up with Flipper and Tuxedo Moon and performed with the Nihilist performance artist Mark Pauline and his Survival Research Lab; Roedelius founded the Kraut rock band Kluster, then Cluster, then with Brian Eno, Harmonia, then went solo, and from the solo era I think the albums LA Nordica, and Sinfonia, are among his best. He set my poems to music in 2006 on a CD titled Act Of Love.
Madonna pensare che la Rai trasmetteva certe cose! E ora come siamo caduti in basso! Grandi Tuxedomoon, so che erano molto amati in Italia e con l'Italia avevano un rapporto speciale. Per fortuna ho fatto in tempo a vederli almeno una volta live poco prima della morte di Peter Principle al Tenax di Firenze, poi non ci sono piu' stati concerti
@@ludovicodiberardino8453 No, non ne ho idea, ho scoperto questo video live qui e in quegli anni ancora nemmeno ero nata! Ma presumo forse erano ospiti da Doc di Renzo Arbore o in qualche altro programma musicale, all'epoca li facevano e davano spazio a piu' generi a quanto mi dicono e anche alla qualita'. Ora in Tv solo Sanremo, De Filippi e company, XFactor, e qualche ospitata di gente del monopolio major e chi vogliono loro, il resto e' censura. Vabbe' tanto io non la guardo e nemmeno sento radio commerciali ahahah sono di una noia mortale! Cerco altrove, e alla faccia che dicono la musica attuale italiana e' morta invece ci sono diverse cose di qualita'. I Tuxedomoon li ho scoperti anni fa grazie ad un programma a radio 3 che gli aveva dedicato un tributo e me ne innamorai subito. Cosi li ho approfonditi, comprato diversi album e mai lasciati. Vederli poi in concerto live molto emozionante, ci tenevo tantissimo!
@@trillyblack531 Si il programma si chiamava "D.O.C. : Musica e altro a denominazione d'origine controllata" ed era condotto da Monica Nannini e Gegè Telesforo, Renzo Arbore era uno degli autori e ogni tanto interveniva in studio (c'è anche un articolo su Wikipedia). In effetti oggi una trasmissione come quella sarebbe inconcepibile, credo per tanti motivi.
Si tornava da scuola giusto in tempo per DOC! David Sylvian, Tuxedomoon, e altri mostri sacri della bellezza. A quell'epoca la Rai con noi era davvero mamma rai. Oggi, una prece, sic.
Documento eccezionale! Non sapevo di questa esibizione prima d'ora, è davvero straordinaria! Ho assistito a 3 o forse 4 concerti, dall'anno 2000 in avanti, di questa indimenticabile band ed stato sempre suggestivo ed emozionante. Questa esibizione è davvero energica, intensa e soprattutto preziosa... Grazie infinite per questa generosa condivisione! 👍😑💯
This upload has THE most kick ass version of, "Volo Vivace" EVER! Especially, the violin and bass! Wish we had the entire performance, but I absolutely believe you're sharing all that you have, with us. Much thanks! Great upload, Scottish TeeVee! Thanks also to, "Wolfgang"!
at that time Italian television used to host avant-garde (now "post punk") bands. unfortunately, in these shows the performance didn't last more than 10 minutes, so, that's it :( if you didn't check them yet, look for CCCP (punk/ post punk Italian band during the 80s - 90s) 😊
Regards everyone! The cult band was actually funded in Mexico sometime in 1977 somewhere in Oaxaca, according to the legend.... Steven Brown has been living in Mexico since late 90's.... Thanks! Blessings!
Thanks for this fantastic testimony. When I was a boy I saw them live on television on RAi 2, the video and audio quality you got is very high. This video will remain in the history of music!
"Live a thousand lives by pictures - Live a thousand lives by pictures - Live a thousand lives by pictures - Live a thousand lives by pictures - Live a thousand lives by pictures - Live a thousand lives by pictures - Live a thousand lives by pictures - Live a thousand lives by pictures"
Steven Brown e i Tuxedo avevano un ottimo rapporto con l'Italia, a quanto mi hanno detto venivano spesso e negli anni '80 avevano collaborato con un gruppo di Pistoia in Toscana, ecco perche' Steven parla benino l'italiano!
they were really stylistically varied but i think this seems the closest they got to a basic pop band sound. real drummer and all. but then there's Bruce Geduldig with a surprise bit of performance art at the end.
this video is a real gem! too bad that "No Tears"is cut in the middle, any chance to upload it all? I would really apprecate it! your channel is great btw! congrats!
@@ludovicodiberardino8453 il programma si chiamavava DOC creato dal grande Renzo Arbore presentavano Monica Nannini e Gegè Telesforo. La qualità audio era semplicemente straordinaria.
Paul Zahl , plays drums, drum programming on the "No Tears" EP, here I dont know who's paying drums, I was surprise that there's one playing cause as you said above they used to use drum machines
