As good as the velvets if not better -

Velvet Underground + country = The Triffids

Mein Gott ist das schön. Immer noch, nach all den Jahren.....

Great song from TREELESS PLAIN which is a forgotten classic !

Should of been bigger than U2 ! Full on Soulful Aussie music. Always loved the steel guitar.

Música espetacular banda espetacular! David McComb fazendo muita falta neste mundo pobre de poesia e música!!

I get a bit of a Joy Division vibe from Stolen Property. It reminds me a bit of the Joy Division song, Atmosphere, in particular. And that bass sounds like an homage to Peter Hook.

I saw them back in 1987 in Belgium, Rock Torhout/Werchter, just after they released Born Sandy Devotional. The following years I kept claiming that was the best ever live performance I'd ever seen. A quarter of a century later I wondered if that was a correct statement. Finding and seeing this video reminds me that I was right at the time. Truly amazing band, very emotional performance, great live band indeed. They made the 80's bearable..

They'd have been truly great anyway - and this is one of their finest - but the pedal steel really made them different in the mid 1980s. Great band, great song, amazing frontman in David McComb.

That voice, just gets under your skin.

Just wonderful - thank you so much for uploading!

Geez! Perth's question and answer to Melbourne's Nick Cave! If only David was with us today!

A monument

awesome .

brilliant. full stop .

Still great to listen to! In the late eighties I was very fond of this band and listened to their records as a lonely student. Now... about 25 years later I still love this music and not only for sentimental reason. It still sounds so great and moves me!

A band who just didn't hit the - so called - "big time"... but what a gem of a band !!! Their songs still send shivers down my spine. What a great band, everytime I listen to a Triffids record they move me and that's what counts !

Completely original in all manner of ways, great band, thanks for the vid.

Thank you so much for uploading, this is one of my favourites.

such a great voice

Tears of happiness. Just a great friend can put it in his face. R.I.P. David ........... We missed you....

Still gives me goosebumps after 25 odd years.

poetry is so hard to feel so deep....

awesome stuff, RIP David we still miss you

Dave McComb...gone way too early :(

Its insane to think this wasnt a massive smash hit. Popular music is such a pile of shit, its destroyed any chance of anything like this ever happenning again.

I was there at Waterpop in 88. Classic festival (check the line-up) and the only time I saw Triffids live. Magic.

Great band. Very influential on my take on things. RIP David McComb.

That is ThaNks and I was AT the concert of course....it,s late......sorry. But since I have your attention;Nothing can take your place....why is that not on You Tube????Such a beautiful modern day country song,I just love it!Come on all you Aussies,dig in to your old concert registrations and make a huge Triffids fan in Holland so very very happy...........

Thaks so much from a Dutch die hard fan.I was a Triffids concert in Holland(Groningen) in 1988,open air,in the rain and no more than 30 fans.We sang every song out loud and it is still probably my most memorable concert memory(The Gun club as an entree-can you believe it??)I would love to find Personal things on You Tube though-can anybody help me?

Best track on Born Sandy Devotional and a joy to see this. And they say the 80s was a poor decade for music!

Just fantastic. I've just seen them in Sydney as part of the Sydney Festival. I videoed most of the remaining Triffids performing this song with Steve Kilbey doing the vocals. It was just superb. This is my all time fave Triffids number. I've been listening to a few bootleg tapes I have with it on, but nothing beats seeing the footage to go with it. Thanks again

david mccomb lives in his music. thank you!

Goosebumps,this is great.You made my day. thanks for uploading!!

do you have the other song they played on the tube ,stolen property? so yes ,please post it. thanks anyway.

David, millions of living souls will come and have you live in our hearts and it's no big deal...your music set us a wonderful example and now that we've learned at your feet...returning the favor now that you're dead is no big deal...

probably the best band i've ever seen live.. the velvet underground of the 1980's .. but better still played on a weekly basis in this house

Thats my Geo teacher LOL! the guitarist Rob McComb

Yeah! I fell in love with them in '85 as well and saw the live couple a times but they never played this - despite my loud efforts - classic song. Field of Glass is another fave of mine. Indeed DMcC looks really cool - I went and got me a polka dot shirt right after I saw him on the NME or was it the Sounds. The remastered CDs that have been released recently are just great even though nothing beats the old vinyl.
