Takes me back to my living room floor. I am 7. 8. 9. 10. I read books about knights, draw plans for castles, or play with my Lego/toy soldiers or cars while my sisters play with their things and my parents, still young and strong, drink wine and beer while they chat.. and in the background they play PCO, Mike Oldfield or other tunes and I wish I was that age again and being happy was not a rare treat but a day to day reality. Time moves fast and you don’t know how perfect those moments were until they have gone and you are old.
Same here . My father and mother both liked very good music and art in their own way . Inspiring me to make art and play guitar and drums at age 10 - Dad would watch NOVA on PBS and I would lay on the floor , chin propped up in hands …. Watching my Dad, watch TV.
Wow, well said....I just found these guys so I am so lucky. They do take me to that special part of life. When Malcolm came out(soundtrack by PCO) I was a child and that movie made me so happy.
I remember watching this at my uncle's house with my parents and cousins. I must have been about 9 or 10 years old...still listening and to the fabulous legacy Arthur Jeffes has taken on.
I was reminded of the Penguin Cafe Orchestra while on hold with a Building Society this afternoon. Immediatley went googling, so pleased to have found this :)
tengo grabado en casette de la radio ese concierto, que emitió trecet en Dialogos3, lástima que no exista una grabación decente de ese concierto espectacular
Decia Simon Jeffes, respecto al punk, que si el mundo estaba lleno de problemas añadir uno mas al mundo no arreglaba nada...aqui tenemos el verdadero compromiso con la belleza de su Penguin Cafe Orchestra, nunca perdonaremos a lo que corresponda que se lo llevase tan pronto!Esto es oro puro! Necesitamos más música como esta para buscar un mundo mejor! Gracias por compartir!
@@peteruchiha1543 no creo que lo despreciase, de hecho el hizo el arreglo de cuerdas para el My Way cantada por Syd Vicious, y en una entrevista de la RAI dice que la canción original era de una " autocomplacencia nauseabunda" y que la versión de Vicious era vibrante, enérgica y viva.
Best ambient music I've ever heard, real soul touching stuff, PCO forever! Not too dissimilar of the Kaoss Kontrol genre if anyone might like to make comparisons.
Music of my childhood. I remember at the age of 5 I loved the movie Malcolm, it's cool to watch a movie about the inventor, and since the soundtrack to the film was completely from the penguin cafe, it gave me a love for good music. thank you so much for sharing this video!
En vous baladant dans les prés du présent, vous pouvez cueillir des bouquets de fleurs folles et improbables, revenir avec de somptueux extraits de ces musiciens sensibles et écorchés et vous dire que vous gagnez parfois du temps à ignorer tant de ces musiques contemporaines redondantes & futiles pour gagner en force et en plénitude 🕊🧙♀🧚
You're welcome - but you need to really thank The Missus who kindly recorded this for me all those years ago in 1989 as I didn't have a VHS recorder back then!
It is nice, isn't it. I was only curious if it was already kicking about on You Tube, and was just amused that it had cropped up a few hours before, that's all...just thought it a funny coincidence...er...dear. Great programme, I'd forgotten about the interview bits.
I always think its the funniest thing when someone pivot vibratos a long note on a muted ukalale type of string that doesnt hold the note long enough for vibrato to be heard. Lol
This looks so similar to the concert I went to in prob 1989 (or 1990?), but it was at the Almeida Theatre. This staging looks so similar, I'm now wondering if it was filmed FOR the BBC, but AT the Almeida. If so, I was here. Then.

A beautiful post. Making the most of the medium.
Hugs
Break the classic with the avant-garde and you get the most beautiful piece of music you have ever heard…
RIP Simon Jeffes, I just discovered he died in 1997, 48 years old, way too soon
Extraordinary peaceful and joyful music. In this time and frenetic world it is a bless.
...ing.
What a treasure! I had always wished to see a video of them playing live, but never thought one existed. This is just wonderful.
Glad you enjoyed it!
They are penguins attired as humans
Me too
Love this music, great to see a live concert. Simon Jeffes seemed to be an extraordinary musician and interesting person. To sad he died so early.
Takes me back to Glastonbury 1994ish off my tits having a wobble and PCO sorted my head right out. What a beautiful band
Everyone is welcome at the penguin Café

Is wonderful music!. I saw them in Madrid 1990. Great memory!

You're welcome 😊

no entiendo, o sea que despreciaba el punk?

What an interesting group, excellent stuff

Deep Joy Goosebumps.
Brilliant, a special place in my heart for PCO. Thank you for sharing

You're welcome! 👍

I love perpentuum mobile.
Great stuff!

Ha, that's a weird coincidence - I just transferred my VHS off-air of this, after stumbling across the tape for the first time in years.
That's nice, dear...

I’m sure it’s already out there, but my version is cleaned up and I’ve made the audio sound nice! 👍
Yes, and it's good to see the whole thing as well - it seems to have been just uploaded in clips before.
Oh I see, I’ve not looked for it. I just assumed it was already out there! 😂😂😂
❤❤
Good
14:37 The Party Begins!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The opening lick and lines sound like Springsteen's "Hello, Sunshine." Or is it the other way round....
이거지

Gosh I wish I knew what you were talking about....doh!
Lmaoooo. Sometimes you gotta go past the line to make sure
❤✨🎶
I'd like to issue a big feck all out of jealousy because I wasn't there.
