The thing is there's still lots of great music being made nowadays. It's just harder to find because there are way more people releasing music. Great examples are Kælen Mikla and Nerve Quakes.
Wow I just happened to be looking for live performances of Elizabeth Fraser today. This was the first one I bumped into. After I finished watching it I noticed that it's a performance from 29th January 1983. Today it's 29th January 2023 .. No algoritms were involved. A pure coincidence I bumped into this performance that is exactly 40 years old today. *__*
I dont think she is underrated. She is very aporeciated by people with good musical taste. The problem is: there are very few people with good music taste. But we just cant hope for the average person to enjoy cocteau twins :/
@@danilorocharibeiro7989 I guess it's true that they're not for everyone. Man, I feel like that every time I want to share some of my favorite more obscure bands with people. That they just won't appreciate it and I'll be grooving by myself as always.
Man, I can't stop watching and listening to this. This performance is amazing, want to hear that bassline intro again and again and again. Liz is so into the vibe of the song. Shivers down my spine. And now I'm going to watch it once again. And again.
Spacefreak Agreed. As much as I love Simon and all he brought to the Twins, the driving, melodic awesomeness of Will’s lines is unquestionable and I really would have loved to hear what his influence on the band’s sonic evolution would have been. I sometimes imagine what certain later songs might have been like with one of Will’s bass lines driving them...🤔
@@softlightsymphonyband you may easily switch your attention to Lowlife then. One of the most underrated bands where Heggie showed what he is capable of.
Mesmerizing performance. It’s really hard to take yr eyes off of Liz and her movements. Breathtaking. I’d forgotten how much I absolutely love this band. First heard them in about 1988 I guess. When Blue Bell Knoll came out. Wish I’d got a chance to see them live back then. Still my #1 band to listen to when I’ve taken shrooms or whatever. Otherworldly and it feels like home. ✌🏻
What sets apart the Garlands LP from any other CT's work is Heggie's thunderous, brooding bass lines. They dominate the song structure and they set the tone. Shallow then Halo, Garlands, Blind Dumb Deaf and this one are all perfect representatives of bass driven melodic structure. In Shallow then Halo, in particular, in the first minute of the song the only melody heard comes from the bass and Liz's voice.
Believe it or not, I just discovered CT through Spotify - and am completely hooked. I was 15 when this was shot, but remained oblivious the rest of my life 'till now... Liz is so adorable here. Fragile yet confident.
Lol I'm 19 now and last year during a temp Christmas job, I was chatting to a very pleasant middle aged co-worker and he recommended that I listen to Cocteau Twins and I'm now hooked!
Liz absolutely owns it, and Will heggies phenomenal bass line so critical to early CT sound. Absolutely luv it! Simon Raymonde brilliant, but cant imagine 'Garlands" without Will, He got the ball rolling.
@@highschoolbigshot it’s something autistic people during moments of anxiety (both like positive anxiety and negative) it sorta involves repetitive movements, such as her playing with her fingers
Omg i love this song and its fuckin atmosphere. But most important thing i thought she couldnt do these vibratos in live but she could. She is really an angel.
It's as rare as rocking horse shit to get anything "new" from Cocteau Twins Archives...thanks to those for making this available, both audio and video on this are top notch.
Love it when a singer is POSSESSED by a song. She was so crippled by stage fright. Watching them was always such a tense experience. She hates this. But the song comes through that. It took a toll on her but... wow! Hope she's happy now.

@@CariMachet CariMachet, if she and her ex-husband take their passports out of the drawer and look at the cover page they will read "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". Thus, besides all the emotional/political reasoning, Scotland is undeniably British. Also Scotland sits on the Great British isle.
This is one of the Cocteau Twins strongest numbers they ever came up with. It'll be in my CT top three for ever. Plus the video quality couldn't be any better. Thanks for this upload.
WOW. This clip is amazing. I have never seen Liz so animated , actually moving her body. She is normally quite melancholic. How is it all the these European TV channels have all the gems.... She looks beautiful.
2000 Years from now Liz's writings, recordings, etc will be discovered. The historians will conclude that she was revered and worshipped WorldWide as a living goddess. They will actually be 100000000000% correct.
Graduated highschool in 83'.Hardcore metal head.First heard this song at a party. From that point in my life this one song sent me on the musical journey to appreciating all musical genres. Please don't lock yourself into one type of music,you will sorely regret it the rest of your life.
Haha I never understood labels in music mate. I grew up listening to metal, punk, hard-core, classical, etc. People will see me with a Maiden shirt and the next day will be Joy Division. They asked me if I was metal, gothic, I was always say I am ME!
I only just discovered this video and it gave me the same chills down my spine as when I first heard it. 1980. I had read the album reviews, so off to the university bookshop and record store, headphones secured, and then this otherworldly magic begins to play...
This is incredible! Liz is my top inspiration for vocals. She brought such originality and extreme talent, so badass! I'm so grateful to have discovered CT at the time that I did. Absolutely life-changing for me.
Saw her live at the Barrowlands for the Heaven or Las Vegas tour, supported by Dolphin City, the night I was there was special, Liz's parents were in the rear of the audience as it was her birthday that day, she was so happy they were there and by god we felt it too. What a show!!
The palace in Hollywood. I was just a little girl of 17. They had a drum malfunction.. but it was just a blip. So incredibly cool set list. Wish I could live it again.
Try DRAB MAJESTY - as a huge CTwins 4AD fan of all 80s music I can say that although not innovators like these 3 musical geniuses, they do capture the feel, the Vibe and the Tone of a (previously) bygone Era. Enjoy!
So I kept hearing the cover by Deftones and I kept thinking to myself about how much it didn't sound like a Deftones song, so I decided to look it up and I would've never guessed it was Cocteau twins but God I love it !!
Wow! What a treasure (no pun intented) - this must have been around the time I was lucky enough to see them live,at Liverpool University,and it´s such a joy too see such a stripped-down performance in contrast to the highly polished videos that came later (which I also love,don´t get me wrong!)
They had a particular something that nobody else has ever had, it's about the atmosphere they were able to create, Garlands is an absolute masterpiece of humanity.
This is what I love about TH-cam. Every once and a while you come across a gem like this. Thanks so much for providing. I know CT is more well known for their later output but I actually favor this early stuff and Garlands is one of my all time favorite albums. It was this and a few other LPs that caused me to become a 4AD label fanatic and buy everything out from that label on sight.
I just know that I have always fancied Elizabeth Frazer strange, unusaual and perfect and always will be, I fell head over heels for her in the 80s when I too was a very young and she still looking good now, if there is a song I like best it would be From The Flagstones because everything the Cocteau Twins made is good listening and watching, I really love the video Pearly Dewdrops Drops made in a church.
Huh! I'm tired of seeing it happen, I've seen numerous videos re-uploaded from my channel, it hurts even more when they're videos I've taken quite some time editing lots of clips together to create a kind of promo. It's one of the reasons why I've not posted anything for some time now, but I am thinking of making a return and just leave my ID screen card after each video finishes. It may not deter all, but other than YT deleting such duplications, what can one do?

She was 20 years old here. What a complete genius of a human being 😵💫
She would be categorized as Autistic now and medicated into stupidity....
Are u whizkidding?
Basically a kid
She was born on 29 August 1963 so she was actually still only 19 then (on 29 January 1983) when this was recorded
And the bass. OMG the bass!
Man we took so much for granted back then. Like that this was just the way it was, and music would always be this good.
Isn't it great to know though that so many bands would be influenced by this period of music we grew up through, fond memories..
I didn’t take much for granted at that time or the following decade, but I did indeed take for granted that the music would always somehow be that good. I’m just glad I got to see CT and so many other bands live in their heyday
Well said, so true.
The thing is there's still lots of great music being made nowadays. It's just harder to find because there are way more people releasing music.
Great examples are Kælen Mikla and Nerve Quakes.

Watching Elizabeth stimming during her performances is so oddly satisfying/ soothing 💕
She makes it look so cool too!
Do you think it's voluntary or not?
@@lukecockburn1140 i think it’s both in a way, i’d assume she’s autistic and in a way it likely makes her less nervous to be on stage.

And... Liz is seriously tweaked in this video.

Unharnessed art in its finest form. There will never be music like this again. Just amazing! In my top 5 bands of all time..
weird, I was there, it was a double gig with Siouxie, I remember Eliabeth's handpicking particularly
That must of been a spectacular concert. Two amazing women. It took me 26 years to see Lisa Gerrard Dcd in the states in concert.
wOw - What a gig it must have been :)
+Night Owl- DCD at the Opera House 4 years ago. The sound of the pa rig was a bit rough but a good performance nevertheless.
So cool.
You lucky fucker! ;)
Garlands is the best Cocteau Twins album, and this rendition of Wax And Wane is amazing. Elizabeth is beautiful here.

We don’t have exquisite music like this anymore.
We do, its just not promoted as much these days, listen to Fontaines DC “A Lucid Dream” and “The Lotts”
Intro . . . goosebumps. As if watching a really important moment in history, like mozart premiering a symphony.
Having a spiritual moment here. First time listening to them and I'm obsessed.
They had a particular something that nobody else has ever had, it's about the atmosphere they were able to create, Garlands is an absolute masterpiece of humanity.
What he says about the layering of the music was to make up for his shortcomings > problems are not stop signs
Pure fire🔥absolutely stunning - idk how many times I’ve watched this over and over
awesome i was 17. thank you.
I am continually being amazed by videos and films of bands I never saw before!! You Tube is the best time machine ever!!!!

It was this and a few other LPs that caused me to become a 4AD label fanatic and buy everything out from that label on sight.
Incredible video with awesome quality.
Their music is like timeless to me....doesn't seem to me that this music came out in the eighties!
It sounds 100% 80s to me. Has that early 80s Siouxsie and the Banshees/The Cure sound and vibe.
This post is GOLDEN! Excellent transfer. This is like a dream come true :-D
Amazing song and performance as always
Will heggie will never be forgot in this story
Absolutely breathtaking!!! Thanx so much...
OMG, this is awesome !! Best band ever !
I love them SO MUCH ! She's the BEST
I just know that I have always fancied Elizabeth Frazer strange, unusaual and perfect and always will be, I fell head over heels for her in the 80s when I too was a very young and she still looking good now, if there is a song I like best it would be From The Flagstones because everything the Cocteau Twins made is good listening and watching, I really love the video Pearly Dewdrops Drops made in a church.

I was 16yrs old at this time and I had such a crush on Liz. What a performance ❤
Her voice is a beautiful gem ❤️🎶🎼
Interesting to see over the decade, many people have downloaded your video and uploaded onto their youtube channel!!
Huh! I'm tired of seeing it happen, I've seen numerous videos re-uploaded from my channel, it hurts even more when they're videos I've taken quite some time editing lots of clips together to create a kind of promo. It's one of the reasons why I've not posted anything for some time now, but I am thinking of making a return and just leave my ID screen card after each video finishes. It may not deter all, but other than YT deleting such duplications, what can one do?
@@rp61productions thank you for your reply! I guess you have to "grin and bear it". Hope to see more videos soon!
Yes I wondered about the repeated movement from the beginning > video editor here so… thanks for explaining and > great work !!!! 💚
