Brian Turrington (bass and co-writer) recently passed away. He was my friend, we wrote and played together back in the day. He was a unique musician. and just about the nicest man you could hope to meet.
So sorry for the loss. This has always been one of my favorite Eno concatenations, with the bass being the one part my brain fixates on without fail. Thanks for reminding us of someone who qualifiably made this song what it is - always captivating, driving, aggressive and fresh. RIP.
Of Eno's first four solo LPs, three are total masterpieces and one, 'Taking Tiger Mountain...', is merely brilliant....'Another Green World' is a strong contender for my favourite album of all time..
I have been listening to this song for fifty years now, and it never gets old. But, when I was fourteen, and put Tiger Mountain on the turntable for the first time, I was transfixed in a way I don't remember ever being transfixed listening to music for the first time, I think Manzanera is to this song what Fripp is to Heroes; without them both songs would be very different.
Remains my favourite vocalised Eno track after I think 48, maybe 49 years of first hearing it. This is fitting video footage to go with it. Very well done and THANKS🧙♂

He almost always played as a part of other peoples' concepts - most notably in Roxy. When you think of Roxy Music, you think of Bryan, of Eno, and maybe of Andy. You don't think so much of Phil.
Proto punk at its absolute best with so much going on and still keep a haunting melody. who is like Eno ? have loved his music since my youth. Baby's on fire. Working with Bowie on his Low album especially sound and vision. So much talent stirs one's soul to the dark fringes of humanity on the dirty boulevard for a smoke break. So many artist owe a debt of gratitude to Brian Eno for his influence.
For a few years I did too. And in all honesty, I heard their ZIggy Stardust before I heard Bowie's. But in a completely embarrassing turn of events, I loved Weird Al's Yoda long before I knew the Kink's Lola. True stories, all.
@@michaelwendt3714 Having been well-soaked in the old Eno albums before I heard the Bauhaus version, yeah. Cool that they covered it, but it underwhelms by comparison.
Wow - I did not know that - pretty Cool - yeah that period of Prog to New Wave in the early to mid 70's is becoming more interesting to me - I was more Punk and New Wave - my older brother has tons or Rare Prog Rock stuff that some of which - like this song - are pretty Proto Punk / New Wave
@@gannondresser1857 I see your sarcasm. You can't hear the similarities? Must not have a fine tuned ear. Have you heard of Syd Barrett? It's an observation on their vocal ranges, tonality, and enunciation. By the way, it's Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy, not 'Talking Tiger Mountain'. I'm surprised for all your listening to this record that you would get it wrong.
Great song. Phil Collins on Drums. Punk before Punk. Love this record. Taking Tiger Mountain. Third Uncle is also done LIVE with 801 Live. Brian Eno early solo work was great. Those first four vocal records are Fire.
Freddie Smith or Phil Collins - I'm sure they were all hanging out in Mass getting stoned and jamming away - all that creative intensity and that time of 1974 and 1975 - sort of 'inbetween' eras - Prog phasing into New Wave and Punk scraping out the delusions of Hippy Rock

Love Bauhaus to death but their cover of this is a mere shadow of the greatness of Eno’s work. But I can still appreciate the fact that Bauhaus’ cover is foundational for many of you.
If this is on Warm Jets ....did I just somehow kind of overlook it because it's in the middle of a bunch of other great stuff? Cuz this is amazing!🎉🎉🎉🎉
third uncle cover from bauhaus was the first version of this track wich one i heard. and this version was a great cover but the original version is much better. my pearents were big roxy fans when the band was new, i heard it all the time when i was a small boy, together with bowie and t rex
Feels like you're doing a thousand miles an hour. It's like a lion. I hear the sirens In the crowd like a roar. I see the lightning on the horizon making the sound of a war. And then there is you.
Can't find any reference to Phil Collins playing drums on Third Uncle...Freddie Smith was the drummer and Phil Collins played some percussion on Mother Whale Eyeless....do you have some inside knowledge perhaps?
Yes, that's kind of typical of Eno - jump ahead several years and develop post-punk while punk itself is barely yet a concept, let alone a genre. I sometimes wonder if he owned a Tardis.
Always thought this was originally from BAUHAUS .... Whatever, the original is better than the cover, what a bunch of fantastic musicians ... Bass, guitar, drums, ...

I used to listen to this every morning for weeks before I went work in the early 80s and Phil Manzanera, what a dude. Another level track.

Do you know the lyrics to Sky Saw?
Manzanera is seriously under rated. One of the greats. Wilder then anyone really.

Yawn...

Me too ❤
on repeat
If y'all like Eno/Manzanera and you don't know the 801 Live album, take a listen. It's brilliant!
Also manzaneras album Diamond Head.
It was the first direct soundboard live recording I think. One of the best live albums ever. Must for any serious muso.
801 - one pf my 5 Lives fav♥️
I cannot understand how this song has evaded me all my life.I always thought it was an original Bauhaus original song.
May be the Bauhaus were inspired by for their title "hair of the dog".
After reading your comment that's what I think.

You ran a marathon in 4mins 56 seconds?!
Hell yeah, you assumed it wasn't on repeat, you're awesome dude
Phil Manzanera is such an awesome guitarist, especially on the Les Paul!
I think this is the Firebird, but I could be wrong.
Prophetic track portent the forthcoming post-punk era.
Dark and neurotic.
I heard this lp in 74, but this song never took my attention. Now, as a postpunk fan it does😂
Didn't know Robert Wyatt played on this song. Fucking love him.
he did? drums?!

It's hard to imagine rock after 1970 without Eno. Never ENOugh!

Warm jets is a masterpiece!!!🥳🥳

Are you sure Phil Collins plays on this? I thought he only played on "Mother Whale Eyeless." I think this is Freddie Smith and Robert Wyatt.
I cannot thank You enough for this Masterpiece. I am Blown Away by just How Sublime this is. Thanks again. 💯

Eno's vocals remind me of Syd Barrett sometimes.
Both Eno and David Bowie were influenced by him. Bowie did a cover of See Emily Play on Pinups.
righttt! i always think this listening to the talking tiger mountain record

Damn. This gets with it!
... like; oh my God 🎉 how did I miss this back then?! 🍻
Bauhaus did a version of course.
That was the first version I heard. I still think the cover is better than the original. The rhythm is better.
@@madarab37 Yeah, same here on both accounts.
Perfection. Listening over and over. Can't stop.
...never gets old!
Wth. I thought Eno was an ambient artist. I never knew about this. And I've listened to quite a few of his contemporaries (Fripp etc).
Fab, fab fab and errrr FAB!
'tis interesting to listening to these early post Roxy Music solo music, knowing what direction his music took.
En 1974, anticipándose a sonidos futuros, los post punkers por venir, aún usaban pañales.
Yes , but at least give us credit for having a functioning mind as we grew. I was born in January 1969. So yes I was in diapers as you say .
