@TalorcMcAllanthat's amazing!!!😮🙏💜 I'm genuinely jealous. I bet seeing them live back in the day was a religious experience...I cry just listening to recordings. Lol I bet you have some amazing stories and judging by your musical taste you must be a cool person. I hope life is treating you well!
I first overheard this whilst staying at a friend’s in Bradford in 1984. Hungover in the morning and heard from somewhere else in the house, I thought This is the music I’ve been waiting for all my life. And so it’s turned out to be. When all of us listening to this are dead, CT music will carry on and still have relevance. It’s pretty special.
I thought I had seen every TV performance they had ever done, so this is a real treat! It's a shame they're miming, and Liz has decided she's not gonna mime every single part of the song, but it's so wonderful to see. They will always be my favourite band, no other has come close.
That’s great news! I first heard them 40 years ago on John Peel’s radio show during a snowy drive home at night. Listen to “Wax and Wane” from their Garlands album and you can imagine how it felt.
@@markjackson5665 That sounds so dreamy! I have been listening to all their music nonstop haha. So glad that we have this music, love driving to it also. It snowed where I'm at recenty and I was listening to the Victorialand album. Great stuff!
i was 16 ( now 39) working at applebees of all places and one of my old coworker got me into this band he knew i was punk emo kid that loved the smiths and knew i would like this he was wrong i love it
Daniel, fifty years old here and I got right into the Cocteau Twins in the mid-1980s. Weirdly enough, I listened to a lot of metal as well (Slayer, Metallica, Anthrax, Maiden etc.) but was obsessed with British Alt music. CT being one of my all time favorites as well as early Dead Can Dance. Lisa Gerard has a voice that rivals Fraser's in it's beauty. Two of my favorite, all time female vocalists! 🤘🏻
@@spensert4933 I seen them live in the marquee soho London 1985 , was mesmerised, then found out liz was Scottish , love her vocals , simply the best , great collaboration on massive attacks Teardrop !! Go listen Top tune !
Firstly, Ive been drawn into this tune tonight from the radio earlier. Now im at the table at home, After my tea, And a cpl of ciders, After wrk, Its 11:15 pm, Satdy night, So i refer back to this deep deep perfection i heard earlier, I stumble on this vid, By all acounts is one of the best by these legends. And im.watching, And im in tears Its just so timeless, The wsy its grabbed me, And just dragged me back FORTY YEARS to when i was 8yrs old. Just learning music from.my older sis who was 14, And massivly into these, and soft cell, and the cure, and suixie.... AMIDST AN INVASION, of bboys music from the u.s... Massivly changing times then, For many, many reasons... And this tunes just draggedme back there, To feel the EXACT same feelings we had bsck then, Just afte our Dad had died, Just before my sister left, Just before everything i knew just failed, Just beford i discovered acid house on the bounce from deep electro, Fucking hell, As if life wasnt complicated enough back then in simple times, NOW LOOK AT US. 😣😣😣😣😣😣😣 God bless these times, And all that sailed in em 💖
As you may have noticed, Frazier was lip syncing to the studio recording. That's the requirement for many of these TV shows. She didn't play along for parts of it.
While I was graduating H.S. w/ teens in thrall to Thriller, Quiet Riot, and Van Halen (in the US) *this* band in particular was reinventing paradise’s soundtrack. I never looked back.
I was one when this came out 🤣 atleast a year before this I still had my wings or so I seem to firmly believe I wonder how rare that is people who are so extremely sure and make no compromise about them being angels before they ended up here like I did. I don't want to sound ironic or sound like a dreamer I just feel it all the time I always feel it I would bet you that I'm right but of course it's obvious that I would given that you already know that about me.
I've no idea of the source for this clip and the Pearly... that accompanies it - somehow in all these years I've never seen them before - but they rival the Whistle Test & Amsterdam '83 clips as the most wonderful Cocteau Twins footage in existence.
I remember this being aired on Swedish tv to promote a 4AD night live gig in Stockholm. Also present and performed on the tv show were Modern English, Xmal Deutschland and Dead Can Dance. Sadly, all the band's performance were mimed.

Cocteau twins have stopped me from suicide... they are my spiritual angels.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
we're glad you're still here
💕💕💕💕
so glad that you're still here. enjoy life. music is therapy ❤
It’s 2023 and this music is still mesmerizing.
Liz Fraser's voice is so grounding and cathartic. One of the best bands to ever exist. I swear🖤
Tis a very great song
@TalorcMcAllanthat's amazing!!!😮🙏💜 I'm genuinely jealous. I bet seeing them live back in the day was a religious experience...I cry just listening to recordings. Lol
I bet you have some amazing stories and judging by your musical taste you must be a cool person. I hope life is treating you well!
When you have one of the best voices ever, and you make her go playback
Elizabeth Fraser is a national treasure
Hopefully Scotland will be independent soon and she will be one of her national treasures
You've never ever been as high as Robin Guthrie.
Literally why they split up innit
I have but didn't come up with anything close to this...
I nearly died trying.
This song is about a horse who died.
Oh, I don't know about that. 🤔😏

37 years on and it remains as mesmerizing as the first time my ears heard the Cocteau Twins.
Wonderful & Timeless.
Sugar hiccup on Cheerios
SUGAH HOOKERRRRRRAHHH
Made me laugh so hard. Thank you :)
@@jewfierros5800 happy to hear that. You're welcome.
sugar hiccup my doritos
Surely it's sugar hiccup are cheerios
I could listen to her voice forever
me too
Probably the clearest closeup of ELizabeth singing out there. Wow!
Look for live video of Wax and Wane !
You mean "singing"
Mortal Coil - Song to the Siren
I can't help but love her "beat myself with my fists" dance style... that's the real folk blues right there
I thought I had seen every TV performance they had ever done, so this is a real treat! It's a shame they're miming, and Liz has decided she's not gonna mime every single part of the song, but it's so wonderful to see. They will always be my favourite band, no other has come close.
Everything about their music and artistry is just so captivating! So so lucky to have found them, definitely my new favorite band.
That’s great news! I first heard them 40 years ago on John Peel’s radio show during a snowy drive home at night. Listen to “Wax and Wane” from their Garlands album and you can imagine how it felt.

I can replay this song forever, it feels so warm her voice is so mesmerizing
she's insane i love it
Elizabeth's vocal melodies are clearly what makes the Cocteau Twins great.
And the bass guitar 🎸
This is my favourite song on the masterpiece that is still "Head Over Heels".
This is what an Angel looks like. 🥰
This was my intro to the Cocteau's back in 84...still sounds magnificent
This is part of 60th birthday weekend of music 🎶🎵🎸🥁🎧🎂
i was 16 ( now 39) working at applebees of all places and one of my old coworker got me into this band he knew i was punk emo kid that loved the smiths and knew i would like this he was wrong i love it

how was life back then
The good ole days. Hard to believe it's been 35 years. Still sounds amazing. Always will..
Eternal music keep on shining.
I don't know what made my heart melt faster, Liz's eyes or her voice.
I would love to hear the actual audio from this performance, and not just the studio recording :/
There's no audio as the guitars are not even plugged in.
I love her restrained anger.... you can just FEEL IT in this "performance'.
You mean pissed because they made her lip sync? Probably. Notice she didn't bother half the time.
@@klocke5247 Probably. 😉
Yes, she is not pleasing the audience.
I could look at her all day !
Jack B Agreed!
Yup
So could I!
Liz and Robin are to me the epitome of artistic genius. Grateful to appreciate them in this life.
Why are they perfect
Firstly,
Ive been drawn into this tune tonight from the radio earlier.
Now im at the table at home,
After my tea,
And a cpl of ciders,
After wrk,
Its 11:15 pm,
Satdy night,
So i refer back to this deep deep perfection i heard earlier,
I stumble on this vid,
By all acounts is one of the best by these legends.
And im.watching,
And im in tears
Its just so timeless,
The wsy its grabbed me,
And just dragged me back FORTY YEARS to when i was 8yrs old.
Just learning music from.my older sis who was 14,
And massivly into these, and soft cell, and the cure, and suixie....
AMIDST AN INVASION,
of bboys music from the u.s...
Massivly changing times then,
For many, many reasons...
And this tunes just draggedme back there,
To feel the EXACT same feelings we had bsck then,
Just afte our Dad had died,
Just before my sister left,
Just before everything i knew just failed,
Just beford i discovered acid house on the bounce from deep electro,
Fucking hell,
As if life wasnt complicated enough back then in simple times,
NOW LOOK AT US.
😣😣😣😣😣😣😣
God bless these times,
And all that sailed in em
💖
How can you not love her?
As you may have noticed, Frazier was lip syncing to the studio recording. That's the requirement for many of these TV shows. She didn't play along for parts of it.
I saw them live twice, 1986 and 1993. I still hope to see them once again together before to pass away.
I love this song with all my heart
The voice and the instruments.... What a beautiful sound🥹🥹
Medicinal, perfect relaxation music
spectacular Thanks for posting
Amazingly beautiful, dynamic and projective vocals.
I wish I was that microphone, so close to her lips. Shes the sexiest singer, the way she moves...wow.
chilll
You caught me in a moment of passion. Wiser heads prevail.
@@onionfield5306 nah, my bad, what u said was real af
The Cocteaus were still in their "Liz smacking herself" phase here
One of the best bands
You have been my hero, lately, @DJ Epitaph !
While I was graduating H.S. w/ teens in thrall to Thriller, Quiet Riot, and Van Halen (in the US) *this* band in particular was reinventing paradise’s soundtrack. I never looked back.
Wow I'd not seen this before! And perfect timing now to listen to more and more CT's now into Autumn here in Sydney...
HOT I love seeing her so into it. That dress is fab
This song invented dream pop
Always playing in my head on repeat
Thanx for uploading!!!
AMAZING....
Sugar Hiccup on cheerios.
The lyric is "Sugar hiccup or she reels."
This is incredible footage I had no idea existed !
Essa musica da ate vontade de viver
Me deixa triste
Just came to me out of the blue as an Ear-Worm! I had to hear it - then see it!
Amazing
Oh man…this is the Best!
essa música e incrível
Cocteau Twins the best
What a voice in the earlier days you could her power in her delivery!
Wow I thought that was an actual song lol already listening on Spotify
That’s some beautiful music singing is amazing the steady bass and the jangley guitars no doubt influenced by some pyscodelics. Timeless 😅😅
absolutely luv it
Joy !

Remember them doing this live in 87
they were amazing at the powerhouse in birmingham
Le amo!
How baked is that guitar player...
Very Nice Video
Loved this bought it on a 12inch single like most of the early stuff
Pure, intense, unique.
Robin Guthrie is somewhere pink and fluffy.
Unfortunately playback

Attention everyone this is what true god-given talent represents none of that Taylor Swift or Billie eilish garbage

Nope. Looks completely high haha.
Out of all the groups to reunite…

Where is the original audio track?
Invented dreams
Robin is zambonied on the zaza.
She knows my sister.
Love this song but too bad this isn't live.
I think it would have been funny if they all simply put their instruments down for the last minute to make a joke out of the whole miming performance. Liz attempted it, bless her.
YAS
parece q ela tava nem afin de cantar, mesmo assim, divina
sugar hicupppp
💔
