- NICO incognito
05 janitor of lunacy
A true icon of the twentieth century, Nico's musical career spanned three decades. Beginning with the psychedelic mayhem of the Velvet Underground during the sixties, she reinvented herself as the queen of punk in the mid seventies, finally gaining the recognition she deserved as a great songwriter and performer in her own right during the eighties. It was during the latter period that she settled in the City of Manchester, UK (claiming it reminded her of her home, Berlin) and it was there she seemed to find peace with herself and her music. She became far more experimental, performing songs in a variety of different ways, often changing the arrangement (sometimes line-up) completely on consecutive evenings. Throughout the early part of the decade Nico toured extensively but always seemed most at ease playing either her native Berlin or her adopted home in the Northwest of England. Sadly in 1988 tragedy struck and she died of a brain haemorrhage whilst visiting Ibiza. Her legacy remains peerless.

Tapping into something ancient, dark and wonderful.
Here she is literally Lovecraftian. A masterful performance full of mystery.
My goddess, my divinity
we have an old dutch cabin cruiser on the river havel in berlin. when i walk into the grunewald from our marina, there is an old cemetery in the midst of the forest, the "selbstmörderfriedhof", the suicicals' graveyard (they used to bury the drowned bodies from the river there). for reasons unknown to me, nico lies there. yes, that is true. usually there are flowers, tapes, photographs, candle stumps on her grave. it is a very quiet place.
I am profoundly grateful that I saw her perform this. Thank you for the memory.
One of the most haunting songs ever recorded.
Nico is wonderful
So much power in her vocals! My favorite Nico song.
No dislikes. There is hope in the world.
3. Shame :(
And I added another thumb's up!
5 idiots n this world
I saw one of these concerts where she alternated between the Organ and a band .After this tune would follow a Velvets song like "All tomorrows parties", it was different even in the 80s. She was a Super unique talent.
1:56 That slamming sound is perfectly timed. It's like nothing can disrupt this moment.
One of my top favourite songs.
Stunning. This is real life.
Nico, la bella y la bestia en una misma persona. Un caso único e irrepetible. Que carisma y grandeza. RIP.
This is as good as it gets ! A really together Nico nails it.
this remains one of my fav songs... so powerful
My favourite song from her
I met Nico in NYC. This is from Desertshore 1970. Not sure when this was performed, sometime in the '70s.
Amazing you survived. She liked to kick men in ze balls.
This was one genuine lady.
What a performance
Easily on of the tops
Nico einzigartig....
BELLISSIMA

The power of this is overwhelming, this performance
will always be worth listening to'
Soap and skin made a great version, not so majestic but really nice indeed. So did Antony, with his spectral and dark singing. And there Is another magnificent One by X TC and Antony. Nico still sings today from darkness...
One of my extra special ladies. Love Nico :)
voice of velvet
mind blowing
All Hail NICO!!!
Sounds of something medieval.
la amo mucho
mortalize my memory
Hema. Yes Hema yes yes!!!!!
Forgive the begging scream
Brilliant. Incredible performance of the song. An influence, in some ways, from my youth.
she is now a comfort..
love it
Magistral!!!!
She's playing a harmonium....an Indian device, in a Western context.
And?
spettacolare
How come nobody told me about her? Damn! I've been missing out on some amazing music!
Run out and get "Chelsea Girls".
Same! Incredible artist!
Sie singt 100% ehrlich
- oder 110% oder 180? Das Keyboard erfüllt auch seinen Zweck.Klasse Song!(She's singing truly for 100% or 110 or 180? The Keyboard does his job well.Great Song!
Ich liebe dieses Lied seit fast 30 Jahren. Vielen Dank für diese tolle Aufnahme!
Amen
to jest poezja
Edinburgh 1982
This song means more to me as an older man.
Hi which Nico Tour was it from 86 or 87 ?
Handsome woman 😊
Isn't it Nico and The Bedlamits in Vienna ?
Nisam ja od juce. Za Natasu pesma od Nico.
Nico is actually play a European device in a western context. Leaving aside its antecedence such as the medieval portable reed and pipe organs, the foot pumped harmonium is a European instrument. Due to its great popularity on the Indian subcontinent, particularly the hand pumped variety, it is often mistaken to be an Indian instrument.
Antecedents. For goodness sakes.
Nico always played her harmonium with her two hands, and her feet are pumping air for the instrument to make sound. In India, the harmonium is often played with one hand. The other hand pumps up air. The harmoniums she used, nevertheless, were probably crafted in India.

I wonder which gig.. where this was.
Janitor of Lunacy Paralyze my infancy.............GRACE must not come into the world. Of a God allows it is a God of wickedness
Grande morbidité
mmm...
The core of what were a part of the late 70ies early 80ies. A period so rich in musical adventures that hasn't returned ever since Madonna put her commercial cunt in it.
It was fabulously delightful to maintain a sense of absolute sadness and despare back then. Today they send you to a pharmacy instead.
Loving this comment! It's so true.
Eksperiment sa mnom i nadamnom.
