sounds like a great performance played to the uninitiated

Wow again! I want to be young again. ❤❤

Jaaaaa vertianni

Is this the gig when JC met Dorian? Have to check my copy of Head-On

A band on fire - tight as the proverbials

Totally fab in every way possible

I remember this in the Royal Court. He asked does anyone know any songs or what ((words to that effect)? We shouted “”it’s not in the fucking shops!! That was in better times when we didn’t have to rely on all this web ,,online shit that will be the downfall of humanity. I’m ex army,I joined aged 21 for a job and they’d never heard the likes of that before,,that was late 1990 and now aged 55 years and the world has gone backwards and we fought for our lives and ultimately to live and se our families again. And other unknown places you will never hear of and I can’t believe that it’s worsened since . What picked me up when down or a friend or colleague had died was listening to Julian…. He helped me through rough times,rough enough to almost pray to the “”god “ of Christianity,almost. Met him first time in Avebury in 96 and still got and wear regular the Propheteering T shirt from 1995, him and his family. I never mentioned I was army as I didn’t want to be an ex Cope fan. But I can tell him. -If I’m gonna die before my time, I wanna know what’s in it for me? song. I can’t explain what and why is there anything in it for me. You’d know if your ex army. Drude On forever Drude,. Making me feel old listening to this,grrrreat!!!!! Love it

I found a US vinyl of Kilimanjaro by accident and discovered the track differences that way - I have so many copies of that album. I actually love Wilder though.

Thanks for uploading this 😘

Sounds great

Hi Tony, I'm just wondering do you know how often Julian did/ does cover versions? I'm pretty sure ive heard him do them live but can't think of any recorded ,off the top of my head. Thanks again for this upload

Three days after I saw him in Cardiff!

18

Have one a little later - 20.04.82. PARADISE, BOSTON (1st Gen)

Hopefully more this show will come to light as we've seen Magazine and Skids so be nice to see this in full.

Mine could well be wrong - 07.03.81. LEFT BANKE, MOUNT VERNON, NEW YORK

Fantastic

I done my basic training 4miles from Tamworth. I was 21 when I joined so I was oldest of 43 of us,,plus I’d lived ,had ,flats,beds it’s. So I was used to pubs ,travel etc.. I asked a barmaid was anyone into Julian? She said,as if shocked”WOW,,all the years I’ve worked,lived here,not one trainee soldier has ever mentioned Julian Cope “!. She told all the pubs in the st by phone 3 lads coming in,into Cope. My 2 mates were only 17 and not used to pubs or street wise. I’m from Birkenhead,they ,Wallasey. One was getting dagger looks at my mate,,but the landlords told them,,no trouble. I didn’t want any but I would be up for it if I really had to,,I don’t understand the mentality of such people,so inadvertently Julian had diverted “fate”as we would have fought,, and all the idiots in the “”OUT OF BOUNDS”” which was well stated at our gate-Manhattan’s-Banned-.. Just mostly 17-19 mostly idiot young soldiers buying the local bikes a vodka etc. if arrested,Police deal with you then you get it worse off the army. Glad I was used to pubs and that age though I found it hard that after dinner at 5.30-6pm we couldn’t have a cuppa tea. Aargh. Bought a kettle etc when came home after 5 weeks. Julian, I never told on first meeting incase he thought I was a war monger but I joined to provide for my family. Mad days. 1990.. where did time go??

FlippOut sound

Had the cassette, listened to it on my Walkman. Oh the days.

Excellent 😊 A gig in Tamworth would be much appreciated.😉🎸🎤

I have a feeling I may have actually been at this night rather than the second one - but I can't remember for sure. I will dig that ticket out sometime....

Thanks Tony!

Excellent Tony 😁 thanks 👁

Thanks for putting this up. I just got Friar tuck and found this. Its hard to keep up with the Cope and harder to find some good cuts by him in recent years and this absolutely rocks.

Fantastic.

Oi

thumbs up🕶🕶

And as always 🫵🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks Tone

Hey Tony,,you’re about as crazy for this musician The Cope as myself. I took a cracking photo with a 35mm camera with Julian on bass posing for me quick like during Dark Orgasm tour as he only played the bass with his cunt belt on. I won’t put it online as it will undermine my own credibility as I have never been “”look what I’ve got “type. Plus it will be shared to death amongst us Drudes,, copied one to give my best friend on condition that he doesn’t put it online either. No one will ever see my signed photo or my older one with him wearing his night shirt. I’m not as much into tech stuff like iPhone etc, I only have this cause my sister gave me.Too dear for what I use it for. Ho hum❤

I always start my guitar solo for the day with acoustic version of Read It in Books. 📕 yeahhh

Fantastic !! Thanks Tony !! 🙏

gran grupo....suban mas d de ellos.gracias

The idiots yakking during The Great Dominion. Sheesh.

Not one of the best recordings but so good to hear something from such a long time ago. Thanks as always

Wow 👌

I am against all this “new” technology,I.e. iPhone,the internet etc albeit it’s the future but for us like myself who are somewhat traditional in buying music,tickets for concerts etc. I’ve followed Julian since age 8-9 years old but had no choice as I was the 5 n half years younger brother who had no choice what he listened to but even then in 1978 I was listening to good music as it turned out so when to high school I was well ahead on the music scene. That’s why I liked going over the Mersey and get tickets and com home and wait for the date and now it’s all “”you have to go online to find if gigs are on,so I have missed 2 because of this and I admit I listen to Robin Hood by Cope on wi fi but ordered Friar Tuck cd out now. Does anyone agree that it was better for fans of old to get tickets and cds and not mp3 downloads?

Another significant upload. It’s so great that we can access recordings such as this.

I was at this show

I love Julian Cope and The Teardrop Explodes. But not when they sound like they were recorded in a tunnel from a building across the street.

All this from the beginning called “stepping out “,by Cope,music is this. Mc Culloch got his nose in

Cool. Thankyou❤. I been to the whisky so can imagine then there while i listen.😊

Great song…also recorded by Brownsville Station (!) on their first (only?) album.

11:43 the Gong connection. Radcliffe: *"I mean it's an extraordinary record, this ( **_'Self Civil War'_** ), I mean, it sounds like Gong and The Groundhogs meets The Beach Boys if they'd let Charles Manson join"* ....and Cope says *"Everyone you just mentioned has **_balls_** ...it's funny isn't it, it's really funny...and I was mentioning this to my daughter Albany recently, cos she was saying about, y'know, Prog being **_'all boys',_** and I said, well, I went to see Gong **_THREE_** times, because there were lots of very pretty women there..and they were quite posh...y'know, they haaad...there **_was_** appeal to be had."* :D 💜💓

wow my first ever cope gig. thanks tony mack

Awesome used to have this on VHS i was the one who shouted out for Copey to play Shot Down!!! 😊

It was indeed their last gig as T Ex. I was at Essex and went to this lots were annoyed at the set but it was excellent with lots of new material. Incredible how the memory plays tricks mind you!

❤
