- Rare clip from Toyah''s legendary 1981 Christmas Eve concert, televised live on BBC2's "The Old Grey Whistle Test" from The Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London. This is the final song of the concert, 'I Want To Be Free', but it's from the aired TV version not the BBC Video that was released in 1982, so a slightly different ending.

I was 10 when this song was released. I loved Toyah! I had most of her singles, including the EP (?) with 4 tracks (2 on each side if I remember correctly..). I was delighted when Toyah was in Smash Hits. Anyone remember that magazine? I had colour posters on my bedroom wall.. one of which wasn't even a photo but a kind of drawing/painting with Toyah's orange punk hair style. Toyah assisted my upbringing into this crazy world. Thank you sweetness. Paul (SE London). x
Love. Toyah. Wilcox style. Love the OGWT Thanks for sharing..🔥
I was there that night...My first ever concert..I was 16.

Wie want to be FREE ! Toyah ! Toyah ! Toyah !!! For ever young !
Who'd have thought back then that in 2023 she'd still be touring to rapturous audiences... with Robert Fripp of all people.
You mean her husband?
@@snakedriver Yes. They were very different, but they make great music (and TH-cam videos) together.

Toyah Toyah Toyah
I wanted the complete concert in Drury lane
There is a VHS copy on eBay at the moment from Germany. about £50.00 including postage. Title Good Morning Universe.
Even if another fan could contact me ,anyone who has it , and could get a copy of it on dvd, and could let me know how much it would cost me.
*On line 2 it's Yvonne, what can I do for you Yvonne?!* _Hi Graham, I love your show! Can you play a request for me?_ *Well, we'll sure do our best, whaddya wanna hear?!* _Well, I'm afraid I don't know her name, it's like, Tina, or something - but it's, y'know, that 'Freedom' song..._ *Gonna need a little bit more than that, Yvonne, my love...*
_She's err, y'know, 'Your One with The Hair'..?_ *Bingo! Next up on HITS 107.4, specially for Yvonne calling in from Guildford, it's Toyah, with 'I Want to be Free'!*
‘I’ll crawl around the floor and stick my tongue out at the cat, and if I see a wedding cake, I’ll have a go at that. I am angry, really, really angry. Nostradamus.’
Search for Tracey Ullman as Torah vid, it’s hilarious.
Old Grey Whistle Test? eh?
Always preferred VICE SQUAD last rockers song with Becki bandage lol.
Does the full TV concert exist somewhere with Victims and War boys inc ???/
More than likely, though I don't have it. Here's those two songs though, and the BBC2 intro: Toyah - War Boys & Victims Of The Riddle Live
yes it does, BBC VIDEO, had it once ,but lost it over the years
I was there that night ( Christmas eve 1981 at the drury Lane theatre) and even caught and ate a bit of the cake Toyah threw into the crowd
no audio
There is audio for me. Not sure why you can't hear it.
How could I get a copy.
Madonna was rough when she started.
Sold out to the establishment Willcox...
Cruel and not true! She just got old like the rest of us

Nope she is what she is unique.
