The dog is omnipresent!
Incluía drive
I ordered and promptly received the DVD about a month back, despite having not purchased physical media in more than 20 years, not to mention not even owning a DVD player! Absolutely no regrets.
It arrived in a winter week and I was a sick as a dog, which somehow made it even more satisfying to watch, like sitting in on a fever dream.
To my shame, I had never heard Cardiacs until these garage videos were pushed under my nose and I've been joyfully obsessed since. Skill to make one weep, with humor and unique attitude. When the guitarist complains to Tim that he couldn't see because Tim had his eyes closed was just genius! (at least i think that's what he was ranting about...)
I must say my favorite off the DVD has become "Pip As Uncle Dick But Peter Spoiled It", but they are all just absolutely brilliant.
Thanks ever so much to all involved!!! After all my exploring on youtube, my one genuine question is: What has Jim been up to in the interim? Best wishes to Tim and all the family from Switzerland
What's going on here?
Just ordered it. Have not been so exited about buying music since I acquired Tommy at age 13. Am now 44. Missed the feeling.
The problem with becoming a fan of Cardiacs is that afterward it's hard to go back to listening to regular music.
Very true but nothing else matters
Yep, they've made a lot of music obsolete for me.
so true!
Just like Ween.
@@palestalemale8831 Ween and Cardiacs are my two favourite bands!
I just keep posting this band onto my facebook page and none of my friends are liking it so I unfriended all of them .
Screw 'em if they don't get it. (Y)
Haha some/most (square) people just don't get it. Its alien to them, songs should have a nice chorus and be about love. Be grateful you have great taste in music
no, keep them and tell them EVERY FUCKING DAY they have bad taste.
by the way, the majority of people wants to listen to a song in ONE tone and possibly with 3-notes riffs. Yes, it's retardation, they have a primitive brain
haha and me, why don't they get it, tiz f*ckin genius!
anyone else listened to this about 100 times?
Yes.
Daily, yes.
😄👍
A lot more than that!
Beautiful orrible noise. Love this session. It'll go down in history.
This is insanely good. Like the Sex Pistols covering a Yes song, on acid, during freefall, through a hurricane, on a different planet.
With Gentle Giant licks
Accurate
Wot e said.
And the best description award goes to...👏
This is a perfect comment
I lost friends over Cardiacs.
Worth it.
good riddance says i
Fuck them all!
They weren't real friends.
I even lost girlfriends. No regret.
@@ReggiePostlethwaite I lost a girlfriend over Primus and Mr Bungle, my wife is deaf however. She likes Tim's smile.
If you look at the upper left you get the impression that three hundred and seventy seven thousand or so people have watched this video. Sadly, this isn't true. About three hundred and seventy seven of us have watched it roughly a thousand times over fifteen years. Do try to spread the love of Cardiacs if you can though love.
Funny how one of the coolest rock music vids on teh interwebs is basically 4 blokes jamming in a tiny cluttered shed while a dog runs around off its lead and it's pissing it down outside.
trust that, they're one of those rare bands that really take advantage of their age too, it used to be a bunch of really insane young guys, now it's really pissed off old guys
True, they really are artists and awesome
proof of god and humor
@AGNES $TECK-- Humor, maybe.
This is not "jamming": this is precisely scripted.
Dear Tim Smith. Rest in Peace. Thank you for the music. Totally unforgettable universe you created with your pals...You will be sorely, sorely missed.
all of them too
Here here!
And there there 🫶🏻
Every time he hits the snare drum, that's when the time signature changes
Sometimes he changes it to the same time signature, just to keep everyone on their toes.
you could be the best bassist in the world!, you will NEVER have anything on my underpanted friend here
How right you are.
On Sang All Away Away Jim made me cry. The intro is the Holy Temple of Bass.
Damn straight.
He is a phenomenal bass player.
@@anthonytester3285 agreed
wow. this really is tim’s vision come to life. the crazy music is reminiscent of almost every genre including punk, ska, metal, etc. etc. etc. while simultaneously being u like anything i’ve heard before. tim shouting at jim and kavus, unapologetically coughing down the microphone, kavus falling over, the outfits ranging from the big fur coat to just a pair of bills (which i’ve heard were all styled by tim), the messy background filled with wires and all sorts of random objects that gives an atmosphere of chaos, the freakish camera angles, filters and jumpcuts. all of this and so much more culminates into a whirlwind that i find leaves you out of breath and wondering “is this kind of creative freedom even allowed?!”. everyone involved in cardiacs is a complete genius. i’m 15 and so so glad that i’ve discovered cardiacs at such a young age. i can’t wait for my exploration of this magnificent, magnificent band. i love you cardiacs.
*unlike anything i’ve heard before
Glad you found them at such a (relatively) young age. Trust me, they will never let you down.
Very well stated - you are a great writer.
I discovered Cardiacs at 16. I'm 48 now. They have been a big part of my life's journey and shaped me into and through adulthood! Result is I'm pretty fucked but I still adore them!
Isn't it a strange feeling? To be one of the happy few.....who know.......just how elevated this is. All of it.
The only thing I can imagine coming close to this is watching J.S. Bach improvise on the church organ back in the early 1700's. What I would have loved to just be there in that rotten shed, only a dog by my side and silently watching this unfold. I wouldn't even have minded some verbal abuse.
@@rjwusher that and the smell. I imagine it got a bit whiffy in that cramped lil shed.
Its amazing, people discovering them for the first time now have exactly the same reaction as I had when I first saw them 25 years ago (and they had been going for years then) .. 'How can they be this good and yet I have never hear of them?!'
Cardiacs are a criminally underrated band who have been ignored by the music press simply because it had no idea what box to put them in.. Prog? Punk? Rock? Psychedelic? The truth is, when you are this good it really doesn't matter.
sadly, the majority of people like banal music with simple, banal chord progression, banal hooks, banal everything, like they themselves are (mirroring in music their attitude). Cardiacs are for mad, adventurous people, the only ones able to change the world.
so true.
i've heard a damn lot of rock, and its rare to hear anyone really experimenting with the tropes of arrangement this much. a hook will convince me that its going to follow an example like Rush, Devo, or various pop punk sources, and yet, by the end of a measure, i'm being dragged into the realms of the unknosn, suddenly, like a grand surprise.
simultaneously soothing and challenging, i imagine y'all draw a rather intellectual music crowd. i'm hearing Zappa now as i type this, but not just borrowed riff, the idea of Zappa. a good chunk of rock history is represented in this one song, and at no point does it truly commit the sin of unoriginality, thrown into stark contrast by this aural legerdemain.
i'll be finding a way to give this some airwave spread eventually, the show i cohost right now is basically goth centric. i want to do a show of just wild and wacky variety, this would be a gem for that.
All of their stuff is like this...!
5:40 When Kavus falls and grabs the mic stand - and the several times Tim coughs into the mic and yells at Jim yet it all keeps rolling along like some mad thunderstorm
Never noticed that before - made me laugh out loud! Brilliant video!
It's that raw flavour that makes it unique and holds a special place in the world of prog/alt/punk/ska/exp music.
Lol poor Kavus, he took that damn mic stand down with him
How come Bob Leith is never mentioned when they talk about drummers.....the man is a maniac!.
Absolute monster.
Yes!!!
I love coming back here to say how much i love this video and seeing all the other positive comments. What a lovely crowd
put a like to my comment you cunt.
RIP Tim WE ALL LOVE YOU
God created the universe just for this to happen.....and she saw it was awesome
Could be the greatest song i ever heard completely amazing.
Just got in, went on TH-cam to get my daily dose, only to find that........
I am gutted.
A mere 2 years ago, I found this band and have listened to virtually nothing else since - that's the impact they had on me.
My commiserations to Jim and to all the people that knew/worked with Tim, and thanks for what he's provided us - there will never be anyone like Tim again.
Fuck it........
dude I see you everywhere, hello to a fellow Cardiacs fanatic!
Damn it's already been 5 months
As someone who never got to see Cardiacs live these things feel really special. Thanks for uploading these tracks.
I saw them in about 1982 or 83, I can only say that the word trepanning was appropriate. 👍 A spiritual experience in doho.
Man, even the drummer dragging on 6:06 and on 6:19 is not ugly, and infact, adds up to the whole craziness
Blimey! I've never listened to The Cardiacs before. That's amazing. Right: I'm off to listen to loads more of them.
Welcome.
The utter joy on Kavus' face during the songs opening when his guitar sounds fucking amazing, I'd give a lot to feel like that!!! Been watching this series of videos for the last few days, since we heard about Tim passing away. It helps and hurts at the same time.
I just discovered these guys a couple weeks ago. Sad that Tim left so much on the table through no fault of his own. Timeless music to say the least
You know what's worse? Previously having that feeling quite often, far in the past, but it's only a distant memory, lingering just enough to drive one ever more slightly down. You're better off not experiencing it cuz it's fleeting
I've been listening to Cardiacs for about 2 or 3 weeks now and have already bought 3 albums! I was a massive fan of mr bungle and mike patton's strange projects growing up as well as Frank Zappa. Its lovely to find another similar group with the same kind of integrity as the others.
I was introduced to Cardiacs when I was accosted by some guy in a pub. I was wearing a Mr bungle shirt, and the guy honestly can't storming up to me, in a really rough pub and said "what a load of shit..."
I was feeling nervous!
He continued "they stole all their stuff from Cardiacs"
Most aggressive band recommendation I've ever encountered
@@thewrastler hahaha! nice
More of the best riffs in one tune than the rest of rock music combined.
Laughs in mid 70s Gentle Giant.
RIP Timmy 😭😭😭
I've been listening to this band almost exclusively for the last 20 months.....it is utter insanity, and yet somehow it all makes sense. Am I normal? If not, I really don't care!
Get well Tim.
Possibly the Best Band in the World: Tim Smith is a Pure Genius! & of course Jim!
This really is pretty fucking good
With proper headphones on, the recording of the guitars at the start is SAVAGELY stellar.
Ok, as usual the best band of the universe.
sshit this might the best shit I have seen in a while. Singer coughing and the baseplayer in his underwear lol
This popped up on my timeline. I watched it, and enjoyed it. It keeps popping up, I keep watching it. Now I love it.
And here I am again.
Oh my god.Utterly fucking pretentiously shambolic and awesomely awesome. I saw this band as a youngster and the experience warped me, in a very good way. Long live the Cardiacs.
I totally ignored them first time round. More fool me. This is insane. I’m in !!!
Over a quarter million views, genius Timmy. Rest in Peace Leader of the Starry Skies
I think half of those views are mine.
@@erikninnemann7102 Then the other half must be mine…
🌼 Rest in peace my friend 🌼
I'm. Stunned.
From about 6 mins this just goes batshit in a way that I can only describe as mesmerising. .. what a absolute glorious thing to behold.
Rest in peace Tim. I'm so sad x
Words cannot express how much I love this song-and this band.
th-cam.com/video/tfYJ49Qkm4Q/w-d-xo.html
This is my number 1 favourite Cardiacs clip.
Best band ever ..RIP Tim
Hurry up and reincarnate so u can give us more music....
For years, I was in a band and we had no idea how much we were trying to sound like these guys. Damn. My life is a lie.
I'm watching the dvd with breakfast on a Sunday morning, and had to load up the song on here so I could comment.
Makes me laugh so much when Tim shouts 'Jim!'
someone once said they have more genius in one song than a lot of bands have in their entire repertoire - i agree
Cardiacs. Without ANY doubt, the greatest band on the planet.
I would like that so much my butt hurts. Music never was better.
Brought the DVD. Tim Smith is an absolute genius.
Kavus : How do you think you did?"
Timmy: "Don't worry about it."
Baba : "You need to stop with the complaints"
Timmy: "oooah."
This is "YES" circa "Close to the edge"...pissed off...AND...on speed.....and that's a good thing...like a VERY good thing. Can't stop watching this..
They too had a er.. difficult bassist
I'd love to see Cardiacs again. I've seen them dozens of times all across the UK. No other band puts on a show like it!
Hasn't his voice aged well!
Great vid btw
If you look at the comments on youtube, everyone is freaking out about how great this track is.
+Greg Newholm That right Richard.
Most punkest thing I’ve seen in forever.
Jim’s glare is best thing that ever happened to that camera.
No matter who you are,you need this song in your life!
+Big Dave YES.
Wow this is insane
I love this... Its does get better!!
I hate that I am now a Cardiacs fan!! It does not feel right with me but I am addicted...🤯
JIM!! JIM!!! Don't worry about it.
Three seconds later...JIM!!!
Why? Am I missing something?
Plus...
I can NOT get enough of that jam at the end of this! I love the rest but that shit at the end makes me want to break stuff and hit things!!
Perfection
Every single time I watch it.
Everyone else sounds shit since I've discovered the Cardiacs. How do they do it!
Ah yeah!
Same as me thirty years ago.
Darron Edwards Come on. Can, This heat, and the Residents still sound good, cardiacs is still best though, yes
FAST N BULBOUS Jamie in da house
+James Tingle James Tingle in the place, I want to be in the bunker with Jim , kavus and steve davis, sitting in our underpants
Very many elements of elements here.
The more you listen the more you love!
I still can't believe you're gone, Tim. Rest easy, my man.
6:36 that transition. The sheer beauty. I shed a tear at that point hearing this for the first time.
That drum fill's beautiful going into that bit. Its whole thing's beautiful dammit!
When Britain had the best bands in the world.
Now we have Cowell, the tosser.
@@howardgaskin6117 LOL
Brilliant. R.I.P. Tim.
Just brilliant.
This is one of the best things to ever happen. Unbelievable.
What an incredible piece of music!
The grin on Tim's face when Kavus and Bubba kick into proper gear at about six minutes always makes me smile so much.
Tim Smith, one of the most talented musicians that ever lived... RIP... only the few know how important he was .
I agree!
@@theworldaccordingto4555 I wish I was this good.😭 they were so tight at the start. But I love this loose jam, it's visceral.🤯
Oh my God. Actual music. Actual rock n roll. I'm...I'm......
Love you Tim. Xxxx
rest in peace, tim. a true genius
Good god..... THAT was truly mind blowing !!!!!! AMAZING
RIP Tim Smith - may your legacy and music carry on with out hearts Xoxo
Geweldig!!!!
What an amazing performance.
My God, this is just fucking glorious isn't it?
Been a fan since 1984 the best live band ever no competition hands down
'Discovered' Cardiacs when they supported The Wildhearts. Talk about car crash gig! I was supposed to visit the bar about 3 times during their set but always managed to convince my fellow gig goers that watching Cardiacs was a better bet! Still have my love of The Wildhearts / Ginger but I'm now a convert to the weirder side of life :-) Get well soon Tim, we're all routing for you, even if I was introduced to you a little late!
This is MAGNIFICENT!
Incredible track. Pure madness.
seriously, the best band ever. OK, they share that spot with FZ, Hatfield and the North, Henry Cow, and Magma. Tim is a musical genius.
Very influenced for Van Der Graaf and the style voice of Peter Hammill.
Knifeworld kills
You sir, are obviously a gentlemen of discerning tastes!
Only I'd add Beefheart and KCrim, as well.
@@Bix12 Yes good band, however they are Johnny-Come-Latelys; the bands listed above were pioneers of the genre (along with Split Enz who hugely influenced Cardiacs)
Absolutely brilliant. One of the best things I have ever heard. What a set of rhythms!
Totally unique, as always Tim Smith, you are missed by so many of us. Truly irreplaceable. RIP wherever you are
I just so fucking love this. The greatest band to ever walk the earth.
6:00 and that big fucking smile twelve seconds later
thank you
Best band ever. Love and miss you Timmy.
R.I.P Tim, his genius will remembered by fans across the nation 🕊
Kavus' ROCK FACE at the start. Awesome.
I want to make nice fluffy pillows out of this video
Can't believe how freekin cool this tune is!
RIP Tim Smith
Thank You Tim
The only thing missing from that crazy musical Tardis is a headbanging Dr. Who.
My life is complete!!
1st time Ive ever heard The Cardiacs......Im a big fan of Kavus, Gong and all his projects, I wish Id known this band back then
