I was there. A magical moment. Tim was in his wheelchair in the corner by the stage.
As was I. It was a borderline religious experience.
It was a magica night - see you all in May
Oh dear, I seem to have got something in my eye...
This is from another world.
A little late finding this but as 62 year old Cardiacs fan of many many years this is an incredible version of one of my absolute favourite songs. I still shed a tear when I think of Tim and this brought a lump to my throat when I played it...bloody well done to all concerned and special thanks to Mike Vennart for being such a great ambassador for Tim's music...👍
This singer goes so hard, I'm genuinely surprised his voice held out until the end.
Just checking out Vennart now.
I feel so proud to acknowledge every time that most of the fellows listening to Cardiacs agree that this is the best song ever written. Such majestic and accurate descriptions of it I read too. Awesome. Beyond this, great performance! Loved the energy
Mike Vennart's range is insane my goodness, what an amazing cover!!
He was good while in Oceansize, but afterwards it seems he has just put in the work and has become so "effortless" as a singer. When "blizzard" came out, I had to pause at several points, just to check if he was really doing the things he was doing. Like at 4:22 when he just decides to sound like Robert Halford for a second - what a musician :)
How this song starts off like the end of the world and just keep getting bigger, and bigger, and bigger... it feels impossible. Hanging way up in a planetary sized tantrum of unending high suspense.... it's such a mountain, nay, planet of a song. They ALL held themselves to task on the stage. Ferocious. Primal. Sustaining. Glorious. I don't think I've ever seen anyone attack a cover (least of all D.B. by Cardiacs) with that much strength in my 41 years of life. Just... holy sh*t.❤
It is all suspense! Incredible, isn't it?
I cry hot tears every time I watch it.
Outstanding and brave vocal commitment from Mike Vennart.
We will praise him.
Mike Vennart has such a great voice for this song, love the grit and energy he brings to this version
Incredible performance, Tim musta been so proud bless him. We miss him 😪
This has to be the greatest live Cardiacs cover ever! I also love how much fun Kavus is having playing it.
Thanks to you i've fallen in the tallyhall, cardiacs rabbit hole, thank you so much.
Damn, Mike.... brought the HEAT.
R.I.P., Timothy.
Just.....fucking.......wow. What on earth can you say?
Yep, Makes you speechless eh ! Almost takes your breath away.
I just cried watching this
The most wonderful sound that my ears and eyes have ever witnessed, I really needed this today, I'm in tears. This song is the best song man has ever produced and it's delivery here is beyond words. All the members on stage in this video are the luckiest people in the world to be able to part of that creation. I love you all.
Glorious!
My God, this is astonishing!
Best live cover of anything I have ever seen. Supremely unhinged but controlled vocals. Never thought I'd see anyone as totally committed and crazy as Peter Hammill - now I have and its glorious.
Almost forgot to watch this today.
Congraaaaazzzzz... You just played the greatest song ever written and didnt ruin it... fabulous
This is genuinely one of the greatest live performances I’ve ever seen
I cant belive this is real
This version is illegal for brilliance in most countries around the world.
It's taken to my liking.......
This is perfect... simply phenomenal.. I can say no more
Staggering performance, a complete emotional wipe out...
Discovered Cardiacs through Mike Vennart many years ago. Very fitting.
One of the greatest live performances on TH-cam I’ve ever come across!
This is just amazing. Mike Vennart brought a whole new dimension to this song.
Wow, what a song what a cover, eminently worthy of great Laudation...
Mike and Kavus ... Angels...
Every time I listen to this song I'm surprised by how long it actually is. It flies by every single time.
Unbelievable. I am at a loss for words. Here all smiles but teared. Wondered. Loved. A tribute. Happy memories of being a family of fish once in a snowy pond. Hail the Leader of the Starry Skies...
Flipping incredible. This needs to be sent to the moon for safekeeping or summut.
Sad to not have been there, so happy it happened.
I love you all
I love how there is no light on the vocalist thru the song. We all know it's not Tim, but it's such a great cover, descended from the ether to celebrate Tim's legacy.
7220 views. 220 of them were me.
THAT. Was a vocal master-class!!
This. This brought tears to me eyes.
Unreal
Christ this is rapturous! No other word for it!
Great
MOTHER OF GOD...
Mike Vennart doesnt half have a set of bellows. I hope this gets a release. Same for the Sing to Tim shows. Justice has been done to
Cardiaces greatest song.
Absolutely fucking sensational
la voz de mike vennart es meter a bruce dickinson y mike patton en una juguera; LO AMO
Glorious, I praise them all off their pins.
Tears - Amazing! Seeing Tim do this was something special but this is up there. Wish I'd have been there. Well done everyone involved
!
The sound of heaven. Meanwhile Taylor Swift sneezes and gets 10 million views. What a sad world.
Worthy of laudation indeed!
Incredible absolute EPIC. Just emotional. Love it!
this is fucking incredible
Ain't it just?
I couldn't stop smiling throughout the song's entirety. A perfect cover of a perfect song. RIP Tim.
Well, that was fucking amazing.
You said it.
That went HARD. This is a fantastic cover of not exactly an easy song or band to cover. Big props to the musicians and big props to Mike for that delivery.
We cut all his eyes we did
Squeezed the lids and down the grog into hole
He skip with cow eyed smile to the blissful
Into craggy dress and WE WILL WE PRAISE HIM
WE WILL PRAISE HIM off his pins
Clear him of all sins
Oh my! We sang with strength to carry on
Encouraged him to sing along
We sang of all the world and praised him HOORAY!
Stay alive to live or without
And he is down all over and out
Watch us hang on shoulders as tall as gold as
Feely hand and finger around all we
And look to see if we care if he is heaven sent or
Hell bent but WE WILL PRAISE HIM
WE WILL PRAISE HIM ALL AWAY
Praise him all away
My arms chancing and you will no way
Live long enough to repay me
I praise you anyway always
Wipes last with brown and pale
Dirty Boy he gone all stale
And down the stair and hallway crawling
And pig and toast and kitchen brawling
Night-time days are all weekless
Alarm charm, he's all up and dressed
He dirty boy, he bathroom dances
And check his jam and breathe on glasses
Spiny grip brings all off 'Mr.Regal jelly' in hand
Warm feel and suck regal man suck bland
Suck bland away and he a sleepy cow-eyed dog
He treading soft sand
Kiss and stroke and praise him
STROKE AND PRAISE HIM
All is worth a kiss
Not how to cleanse
And fowl preserver of sick somehow don't worry now
Hold his mouth and stop him breathing
Over and out
thought dirty boy couldnt get any better but then heard the saxophones JEEEZZ
Brings back so many good memories of that evening.
Seeing Bic, Jon and Kavus on stage at the end was very special.
Best performance ever of the best song ever!!!!!!
Good job I wasn't there. Would have been a full-on one-man stage invasion accompanied by bouncer ejection straight out through the fire doors. fucking mint.
What an amazing recording
It was a beautiful end to a beautiful evening 😍
The drummer looked at the camera. That's why his vocal track went 'missing'.
Absolutely brilliant rendition.
Whoever remastered this .. Hats off to you Sir or Ma'am ! Rounded that sound perfectly. Brings a tear to the eye everytime i listen to it but makes me grin at the same time. Miss you Tim xx
OMG, one of the chorists absolutely NAILED her part with the sustained note at the end. She either didn't take breaks or made them very, very subtle... Am I hearing it right? I'm really impressed! O_O
Would have been Mel Woods, because much as it pains me to say it, Jo Spratley couldn't hold a note in a bucket....
@@outlaw1182 Yes, it's definitely Mel Woods. I looked her up and found her in other TH-cam videos and yes, she's the one. Oh my God, what a wonderful take she did in this live version!
This is one of songs that requires one hell of a vocal range to pull off.
The band nails the playing, vocals get off in the high range at tad, but if you have ever heard Jon Anderson (Yes) live and he’s amazing, even he bodges a bit.
It’s tough to get that high a register for 5 minutes let alone the duration of a concert.
But damn Mel, whooooooo!
Mel has form with that. Witness this from 2003: th-cam.com/video/0vP1r1DCz6w/w-d-xo.html
@@outlaw1182Harsh!
Awesome
Fantastic! RIP Tim.
THIS IS SO EPIC !! so close to the original and captures the TRUE essence Of their magic.... some of these member are real Cardiacs fam and they keepin the music alive with this.... but..... PLEASE MORE GIGS !! PLEASE MORE ... i got my 15 year ofd son and his friends into the Cardiacs it would be there dream to witness this song LIVE and more ... there is a whole new generation of Cardiac fans....!
This is astonishing!
Wow wow WOW!
Stunning.
I'm at a loss for words. I've got goosebumps all over my body. Wow.
you would change your mind if you knew the real mike vennart
@@thepinkpanthers2598 Say what you mean big boy. Come on, let's hear it.
('Like' feels like damning with faint praise.)
This is the most amazing thing I’ve seen and heard in years !!! Simply wonderful and so needed in these worrying times 😍
this is what my soul so needs at all times
Great version, wish I'd been there. The only other singer that could do justice to this number is Patton.
I'd love to also see Devin Townsend have a go
What a night that was hoping to see everyone in May !!!
So perfect
So great. So good. Real live music. They give there life to it
Epic, amazingly epic!
Great edit and mix of this wonderful performance - Thanks for sharing it!
Absolutely beautiful
Fucking hell, another dimension just flopped our of my brain!
Me before watching the video: "I wonder how they're going to handle the really long note at the end?"
Yeah this is fucking worthy of laudation
Wow
Fuck me, that was fucking amazing. Epic.
Wooooooah this is incredible
Perfect!!)
Nice.
Like several cults conjuring at once!
fucking Damo on drums, my old drummer!
