My God! I remember watching this at the time.. must have been 1989 or 1990? I'd never heard the band before, but rushed out the next day and bought the CD of Hope Chest. Sadly we didn't have a CD player at that time, so I didn't get to hear it for about a year. Never quite understood that. Anyway, I bought a cassette of The Wishing Chair, and away we went. Don't think it occurred to me at the time that this was Dulce et Decorum Est via the gift of college rock. Thanks for uploading!
@jt20042 The announcer mentions Hope Chest, which was released in 1990. John made some appearances with the band during this time to promote the collection, which he had helped the band to remaster, and also opened some shows with Mary Ramsey, as John and Mary's Victory Gardens came out around the same time.
Wilfred Owens was indeed a poet from the first world war. Probably from Oswestry. There is a Spoons named after him in Westry. Pub was rubbish but countryside is amazing..
I'm sure he knew all about gas attacks and their effects first hand, but he was actually shot whilst fighting to cross a canal, ironically only a week before the end of the war
The most danceable funky song about WWI atrocities I've ever heard. I love also how "Pit Viper" is equally funky and danceable even though it's about a total hellion, haha!

totally classic 10000 maniacs,,,,,,a great performance of one of their finest songs.
Natalie is one of a kind. I love her dancing.
Amazing song and amazing band. Natalie is incredible in her own right, although to be fair, they're all brilliant.
Perhaps the best version of this song.
Wow. This is awesome. Thanks for posting.
The best part about Buck's solos is that it gives Natalie dance time.

Robbo is a legend
💯
This more up tempo version of the
song is the best.
this is a poem written by wilfred owens, i think, he was an english soldier during ww1. he ended up dying in a gas attack.

He was killed during an offensive to push German troops out of the region around Ors, France. He is burried in the Communal Graveyard in Ors.

@guwest i'm southern. i live in north florida.
I think he left shortly after The Hope Chest album.
He left in 87, I believe. He's joined them a few times since then.
@@thomasallen7359 Yeah, he came back once Natalie left. They apparently did not get along well.
@@middyseafort Actually he and Natalie got on very well. He clashed with some of the other band mates.
@@reel8super Ah thanks for the correction! :)
So Ska!
Clash-esque
Not exactly the kind of song for The Word crowd to dance to.
