Oh god no. I love it, but this is in no way fun. Their acceleration, build, and freedom is beyond interesting, but by its way too pessimistic. The future is fun, it’s strange and new, but that’s what makes it fun, not anxiety ridden or scary. Again, I love the band, but it’s like saying the future ends in nuclear warfare, like some Cold War era vision of the future.

@@synthmalicious7541 Unfortunately no, however after some digging I’m sure I could find you the band. I don’t log onto this account often, so apologies for the disappointing response. I’ll get to you soon if I do find the band, Cheers.
@@thisheatarchives1555 I've done some digging so far, and I've been able to find nothing, like not even close to finding something. Someone was able to tell me that this gig was from 1982 in Cologne Germany but I haven't been able to find anything else. No need to apologize! Having your account up in the first place is a treasure enough.
It's really interesting b/c I just discovered this band after many years of listening to the Cure, Joy Division, and a whole bunch of other post-punk. These guys seem to have been light years ahead of all these bands. I guess it was just too obscure back then for people to really understand how groundbreaking it was. Then it's really dark music so probably not the most accessible.
Just one of the most amazing bands ever heard. Really everything going into the musicianship and performance. Everything. It's the answer to colonization.

Don't think this is from 1980. This is from the very end of the band's existence after Gareth Williams left. That's Trefor Goronwy on bass and Ian Hill on Keys. Goronwy joined This Heat in 1982, and went on to work with Hayward in Camberwell Now.
The band performing in the video is This Heat. They broke up and went on to form different bands (Camberwell Now, The Lifetones), recently the drummer/singer and the guitarist/singer (Charles Hayward, and Charles Bullen, respectively) got together and assembled a live band and are playing/touring under the name... This Is Not This Heat.
Could be Markthalle Hamburg, 8th April 1982. At the start I hear a german sentence from the mixing desk. My friends from Recommended Records Zürich organised two concerts with This Heat 💥at Rote Fabrik one week later. It definitely has the same mood.
+Jonny Zchivago Hi JZ your posts on that blog have made a huge impact on me especially all the DIY tapes from the 80's thank you for transforming my life :)
I am humbled. The fact that you are open to intelligent music means you changed you own life. Its not your fault the forces of control hide this stuff away from you. They've tried to suppress me a few times,and failed dramatically. Spread the word.
Was there an actual musical movement or inspiration they followed or are they their own thing? Trying to find something like them during their time period
In a way they were part of the second generation of Rock In Opposition, similar bands in their time? : The Work and Cassiber, also check out Curlew that came a little bit later.
Casper Brotzmann, or Glenn Branca for me always been closest. In the more technical noise/no wave trend. But still they only loosely fit in there. Even bands like Savage Republic, Killing Joke or Einsturzende Neubauten have similarities to me. Haven’t heard these previous mentioned bands before. Excited to check them out.
The first song is GREENFINGERS, which 2 members of THIS HEAT later did a studio version of as CAMBERWELL NOW. This is the only version that sounds this way though. There are many bootlegs where they play this version.
Greenfingers, S.P.Q.R., Working Night (one of the best unrecorded songs ever), Makeshift Swahili, Twilight Furniture, live jam I don't know the title of, A New Kind of Water, Cenotaph, Solar off the Health & Efficiency EP
this is still the music of the future

This Heat us ahead of its time holy shit

There were other avant-garde bands in that decade.
Still love it
Not darker than joy division and also this was a year after Ian Curtis died I wouldn’t consider them the same era still love both bands
which u thinking of ?
@@Ben-kf3tb they already existed in 1976. So pretty much the same era
great guitarist, great bassist, super great drummer holy shit this band rulez
Just one of the most amazing bands ever heard. Really everything going into the musicianship and performance. Everything. It's the answer to colonization.

Greenfingers and Working Nights are unknown to me. Are they only available live?
@@spielratz the versions here are only available live but Camberwell Now released differnet recorded version of the tracks
Amazing! Original sound + CAN's attitude.
Can were real crap. This is superior.
@@davidames1746 It's not tbh, it's great but Can was something else.
@@davidames1746 Can were This Heat's biggest influence. There would be no Paper Hats if not for Paperhouse for example.
17:19 he suddenly start to growl like a death metal vocalist, hehe
DAMMMM 1981!!!!
This is the most post-punk thing imaginable
Simply the best Post-Punk band ever.

Thanks for the info, I´d change the year now...
+gidouille first track became a camberwell now song! so cool to hear this heat doing it

Do you know who could’ve filmed this? Or who could’ve been playing at the very beginning?
Whatever that was for the first five seconds sounded unreal lad what was that
been trying to figure that out for years
So ahead of the times even now
This is like an homeopatic medication,cures angst with an equal angst ,even after 33 years,in This Cold world
We were blessed when this was posted!❤
John Cleese on drums.

yes, there was a movement: skeleton crew (Fred Frith), Snakefinger, Debile Menthol (Switzerland), Residents and so on.
wowsers and wow
So who else was lucky enough to see This Heat live at the Barbican 2 days ago?
what??!
I'm gonna be catching them live in July this year in Chicago. I'm so Stoked!!
Matching Mole + Random Hold~~This Heat
The only band who comes close to sounding like King Crimson
What's the groovy stuff at 00:00 ?
Please someone.. anyone
I need to know as well
@@anthonyamorelli1962 me too
nobody knows
i think they were just improvising around
Do anyone happen to know the name of the band at the very beginning of this video (maybe the first 2-3 seconds)?
no chance for better audio quality i guess :( cant find anything so far
is the drummer wearing a neck brace?
Anyone know the name of the 3rd song? Starts at 9:55, after "S.P.Q.R." It's very good and I don' t recognize it from any of their albums.
It's called Working Nights, and was officially released as a Camberwell Now song after This Heat dissolved.
10:03 fuck yeah
I never needed drugs to enjoy great music.
+James Curran What is the title of that song? and it would be much appreciated if you could let me know the name of the piece that starts at 27:42
+DuppyBruh It's called "Music like Escaping Gas"
Such a great fucking band btw
Does anyone know the title of the first track here, and if they ever recorded it?
it wound up being recorded by camberwell now (which was most of these dudes)
So who or what is the band at the beginning? 4 seconds
anyone have any idea who the first band was?
what was the band at the beginning?
any info on Where this was recorded ?
Thats probably in germany. As i can hear a father yelling to his daughter in the beginning
T H A N K Y O U .
what are the songs that they played? (specifically the first one)
The first song is GREENFINGERS, which 2 members of THIS HEAT later did a studio version of as CAMBERWELL NOW. This is the only version that sounds this way though. There are many bootlegs where they play this version.
Greenfingers, S.P.Q.R., Working Night (one of the best unrecorded songs ever), Makeshift Swahili, Twilight Furniture, live jam I don't know the title of, A New Kind of Water, Cenotaph, Solar off the Health & Efficiency EP
Will Greiner "I don't know the title" is a diferent version of "Music like escaping gas". Great song!
