We must be kindred spirits. I couldn’t talk about RIO with my punk friends and I would be positively FLAYED ALIVE if I brought any punk band into conversation with my “prog” friends. The one band that shut everyone up was Univers Zero Lol those were the days
I think we can safely say this is non diatonic. It’s such a privilege to have access to live performances of this incredible band. Thanks for uploading.
@@laredolenny682 The small room was lit only by loads of candles and as the set drew to a close the candles were extinguished one by one until the music stopped and the room was in darkness and silence. Very powerful.
@@michaelbanks7157 WOW! What genius. I've seen many a stage act going on, BUT, that must've outdone them all. I never got to see them Live, unfortunately.

I've loved Henry Cow since their first album, just lately I can't get enough of them! If there's any video of the early lineup with Geoff Leigh I would love to see it.
There is an interview on french tv from 1973, but you can't hear what they're saying because they overdubbed french translations of what they're saying over their voices
I mention Gentle Giant because those band members were also multi-instrumentalists & I mention (Larks Tongues era) King Crimson because they likewise played astonishing improv as well as well rehearsed rock tunes which ran the gamut from sublime to thunderous. Henry Cow enjoyed rare company & esteemed musical colleagues.
Notare che il difficilissimo brano ERK GAH DAGMAR KRAUSE lo esegue senza spartito e testo davanti bravissima straordinaria !!!!! Nonostante la loro proposta difficile al contempo ho sempre trovato gli HENRY COW un grande , grandissimo gruppo e molto affascinante il loro sound !!!!!!!
These people are not from here ; Messiahs, what do I know, perhaps Prophets came from immemorial time who writes nebulous and penetrating future ! Video is remarkable !!!!
Farfisa. They couldn't afford a Mellotron. Or a Hammond. Or a Moog. Or anything more than a beat-up Farfisa, an even more beat-up upright piano, and a junk shop's worth of musical odds and ends. Plus a PA, a bus, and a truck. And they still made great music with what they had.
@@Baribrotzer They had a lot what are you talking about. Bass, cello, xylophone, upright piano, organ, guitar, drum kit, bassoon, flute, oboe, violin, viola, microphones, pedals, PA system. Few bands have as much as they have.
Sono d'accordo,sia la povera LINDSAY COOPER rip che la Biondina GEORGIE BORN erano davvero carine ma permettetemi di dire che anche DAGMAR KRAUSE aveva il suo appeal di donna!!!!!!!! Insomma tre discrete femmine e soprattutto di grande talento artistico/musicale!!!!!!!!
Allora qualcuno ha detto che gli HENRY COW non potevano permettersi un Mellotron, perché di seconda o terza mano usata non lo potevano rimediare??? Non sarà che invece sono state scelte effettuate dalla band e basta per ottenere un certo tipo di SOUND??? Infatti quando alcuni di loro FRED FRITH, CHRIS CUTLER e DAGMAR KRAUSE misero su gli ART BEARS il Mellotron lo utilizzarono andatevi ad ascoltare il secondo album WINTER SONGS ed il terzo THE WORLD AS IS IT TODAY dove FRED FRITH oltre al violino viola e Xilofono e le chitarre elettriche e acustiche suona anche le tastiere e oltre all'organo credo Hammond pianoforte piano elettrico , harmonium vi è anche il Mellotron .
ROCK music is based on REPETITION (aka Sex, which is what the term "rock and roll" meant!) (rock and rolling in bed)... and is the OPPOSITE of classical or jazz in that regard. And just like you can't "get" a Symphony on the first (or 20th) listen (because there's TOO MUCH going on, vs Simply Pop Songs).... Henry Cow is like that. If you were to listen to this video 15 times, you'd fall in love with it. (The main problem is that most of us, listening to it once, think it's just discordant and aimless. But that's not accurate.)
YOU LOVE Communism, and I'll prove it in ONE SENTENCE: TELL US HOW (and why) YOU WISH EVERY ROAD, STREET, HIGHWAY, AND SIDEWALK WERE CAPITALISM: Privately-owned and FOR-profit, with Toll Booths every mile or so. And the owners of these roads COULD CHARGE YOU WHATEVER YOU WILL PAY (to get to work etc)!!! (Don't like it? BUILD YOUR OWN ROADS!) TRUE OR FALSE: I just proved you LOVE communism and HATE Capitalism. (I've got about 500 million more specific examples like this, that prove you love communism.)
the problem with the Sex Pistols, however, is that a) they admitted they were LYING --- they LOVED Pink Floyd etc! b) Listen to PiL!! c) the Sex Pistols were NOT Punk. HENRY COW IS PUNK. (Art-punk. REBELLIOUS IN MANY WAYS.) The SPs were NOT rebellious. THEY WERE DOING STRAIGHT, CLICHE POP SONGS, but with a snarl. That's it. Super-ANTI-rebellion.
@@dumpygoodness4086 You are absolutely for 10.000 percent right. I never understood how a simplified sloppy played version of hard-rock (which punk was musically) could have been seen as something non-conventional or rebellious. It was something the stupid audiences and critics from that time could comprehend.
@@iamdamosuzuki_ I believe you immediately. But that was mainly caused by the fact that more sophisticated elements which were already used in progressive rock and first were considered as taboo in punk were allowed again in some postpunk groups.
Just for clarity's sake, I'm not a huge fan of the Sex Pistols though I do appreciate them. I'm also not a huge fan of progressive rock or avant garde stuff either, but I do listen to some of both. According to my music critic friends, Henry Cow was one of the main roots of the speed metal/polka fusion scene in Godthaab back in the 90s.
LAZY comment, dude. EX: I'd wager CASH with you that you will LOVE this video... if you just listened to it 15 times, so you started to "understand" the complicated arrangement. (Same with classical. Ya need to listen to a symphony over and over to digest it all, unlike pop or rock music, which is simple and immediately understandable.)
God, I love this! And everyone i know would absolutely hate it.
Just about. An efficient culling process, tho. Another great tool to see who may hang w/ ya:G-spot Tornado, (Jazz From Hell, F. Z.), But of course, YOU already know that🤔most likely....

Chris Cutler is that incredibly awesome drummer than no one ever thinks about when listing great drummers.
Except me.
haha and me
@@zacharydetrick7428 I used to try to copy him. I just ended up with fast (and bad) punk drumming with lots of breaks that ended at the wrong time.
i am noone
& B.S. RIP🕊💐
What a line-up! Dagmar Krause, Fred Frith, Tim Hodgkinson, Chris Cutler, Lindsay Cooper and Georgie Born... Few bands have so many talented musicians.
All the best progressive rock groups were full of skilled female musicians. Or just this one, rather. Not as much ego tripping and more artistry when you have less dicks on stage.
Pure genius, one of the most over looked and under rated bands of all time!
This is jaw-droppingly good. Most people don't accomplish this much in their entire lives, let alone twenty-four minutes.
When I discovered this and shortly after "Anarchy in UK" it really was a double slap in the figure !!
A Slapp in the Happy.

Sadly this is the only video recording ever of Henry Cow

@@Syfoll Yes, I've seen that, and what's more frustrating is that if you blink you miss seeing Geoff!
@@bobgreen623 Yea, very biuzarre, he didn't talk anything at all...

Henry Cow enjoyed rare company & esteemed musical colleagues.
FRITH is one of my fave guitarists. (His solo sets were mad-scientist fun and funny!)
Gotta mention Zappa and pre-Dark Side Floyd
dont mention KC close to Chris Cutler or else he will start ranting about how they were pointlessly compared with them
Breathtaking! One of the best bands of all times! Are they under-rated...? May be by 'mainstream' listeners/pop-music lovers...
They're pretty much royalty amongst avant-garde enthusiasts, so they're not really underrated.
Brilliant. I hope this will live for generations and be appreciated as a vital part 20th century music.
Can't get enough of HC! On record and especially live!
1. 0:00 March
2. 6:15 Erk Gah
WOW! A first for me. These guys. Reminisint of Tchiakowski ( misspelled) the Birth of the Earth and the fertility rite of spring.Marvelous.

What a group of demented geniuses these were.
My friend played me this in the early 80s, I didn't get it then and I still don't 😂
Still a jughead eh...??
Fred's xylophone adds such a nice color....
VERY GOOD......................................................................................

this is the sound of Gods and Goddesses foricating sonically.
Fornicating?
I heard a Petruchka reference in there!
More like Henry GOAT
Суперное !
Good heavens
At 19:48 begins the best line I've heard on mellotron (or is it farfisa idk) !!!

chris cutler on drums ?
oeuf corse
Lol
Marvellous....tough to dance to though...!
Nuh uh
hahaha i love them..
I hear a distinct influence of Micky Dolenz there on the drums.🤣
I found in this opera atmospheres coming from Frank Zappa and a Little from Magna
awesome
anyone know what the first track is called?
Авангард, но слушается на одном дыхании, как хитовый, популярный альбом.
23:43 Am I permitted to have a crush on Lindsay Cooper in 1976?
Me too

Brilliant bass player, and great classical cello player, quite beautiful as well xxx
18:19 go Lindsay!

communism or anarcho capitalism?
:-)
man, Chris Cutler set up his kit on grass? That is no mean feat. Talk about leveling the playing field 🙃
Were they making soundcheck for entire 24:13 mins ?
What is the psyche behind this?
