Saw them supporting Pallas at Hammy odeon though by then Andy Sears was had just taken over, he was never really a patch on Geoff, I actually wrote to Geoff can’t remember where I got the address from, but to my surprise he replied. Twelfth night really underrated band.
Listening to this on February 25th, 2022. At this point in time, Russia has invaded Ukraine. Geoff Mann is totally right in saying that war is organized murder. He was a prophet. Rest in peace, Geoff Mann. 1956-1993.
This was their pinnacle IMO. Never caught this line up live and stupidly passed up opportunity to see Jan Six but was lucky enough to see Geoff Mann supporting Pallas at the Marquee :)
This started as an instrumental if I remember , I saw them a few times at Brunel university and reading top rank and at the greyhound pub down the Fulham palace road , they were great gigs
I was very luck to see TN with Geoff Mann in July, 1983 at the Marquee in London. I'd never heard any of their songs, just went because they were talked of as a prog rock band. They were *incredible*, a great live band. So great to see this clip of their masterpiece, "Sequences". RIP Geoff Mann, you are sorely missed.
Thanks v much for sharing this. I taped this recording from the friday rock show and listened to it over and over again. My tape ran out just as the wah guitar solo was starting. I havent heard it for 20 years but even the intro is stuck in my head. Really taking me back. Thanks again.
Thanks so much for uploading this. I knew the band really well back then and was at the Festival (both 1981 and 1983), as well as numerous gigs at places like The Target, Cherries Wine Bar, Reading Uni, The Corn Dolly............. so many memories. Thanks xxxx
Thank you for posting . it has been so good to re live these moments. I have just listened to “We are sane” as well and the poetry and emotion in these songs is brilliant. Geoff mann was the real deal.. & TN were the best of them in my opinion. Saw them many times. He Seemed to have had more poetry and humility than fish and I couldn’t quite believe it when he stepped out of the limelight (as it were) Good post.
thank you very much to share this video...i love TN music and never forgetten Geoff Mann...I had never seen the video of one of their gigs...ty again RIP G
I was there, I remember the camera man was just in front to my right, a wonderful performance, and I do remember the blokes in the hats being rather annoying.....
I thought TN were the best of the so called "New Prog" bands . I saw them with the late great Geoff Man (rip) a few times including the final gig at the Marquee in London around 1983/84 (a double live album was released ) The band lost momentum with Andy Sears . he was a nice bloke but not a patch on Geoff in any way.

Geoff Mann, RIP. A great singer, artist and poet. At the time I had the Limahl haircut and beads a la Clive Mitten

Only with Geoff. After he left very average with the other singers.
I think Andy Sears is a superb vocalist, as is Mark Spencer. Geoff was a brilliant frontman, though.
The poignancy gets stronger every year. Thanks Geoff.

You are really gifted with this present to see #twelfthnight with #geoffmann 🙏🏻
Takes me back. Wokingham '83 and '84.
Meravigliosa canzone... Che band straordinaria!
I saw them quite a few times at airman pub in hanworth middx ..think it was 80/81 ..what a great live band
Brilliant! Up there with Forgotten Sons of Marillion. Was their time to shine..!
Nice to see they've re-recorded the studio version in 2018 to mark 100 years since Armistice Day
Not heard this for years! An enjoyable blast from the past!
Superb.
Reading 83 - I was there :) Excellent band, saw them quite a few times. RIP Geoff - a true gent, greatly missed.
Majestic
What a fucking band man sequences is a masterpiece
I was at this & still remember some of it,good times.
Equal to Marillion - at the very least - should have been huge..
better than if you ask me. geoff mann was the best prog frontman since peter gabriel.
@@dougmphilly I think Geoff was a sort of Peter Hammill of the 80s - great raw vocal, excellent lyrics, witty and charming character.
This was a great band and not out of place at a star-studded Reading Festival in 1983.
Thanks for sharing the video!

I taped this from Tommy Vance the music vendor. I still have it. Somewhere..
Awesome music. It should have been a fantastic atmosphere.
I was born too late, across the Atlantic and in the opposite hemisphere.

I was there, I remember the camera man was just in front to my right, a wonderful performance, and I do remember the blokes in the hats being rather annoying.....
Haha!! It's my pleasure my friend ;))

I agree with you Bernardo, this is an awesome track!! ;)

"Only the crumbliest, flakiest skin, remains on your body after nuclear war...".
But hey, "We'll all go together when we go....."
Just follow the link i put in the description ;)
it such great neo-prog is should just be called prog.

Li ho Amati
it's so obvious after all these years TN with Geoff Man was miles above Marillion... the fate's so stupid
