Cocteau Twins - Wax and Wane (live, 1982 or 83)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 апр 2013
- Taken from Suburbia, a dutch tv program from the eighties (www.geschiedenis24.nl/nofuture... ). From their first album Garlands.
Still think this is the 'Best Live Version of Wax and Wane'

This band completely changed my perspective on music, which basically changed my life. My favorite band of all time.
Same here. Cocteau twins and Portishead.
I think Beth is a bit better singer than Liz, but both are far better than anybody else. Lately I turned to my CD's and put on Blue Bell Knoll. Divine.
So True! I think when all said and done they were the most unique and interesting band of the 80's. Love Them!
you took the words right out of my mouth
Well said, exactly true!
in which way?
Liz Frazer sounds the very same live, as she does on the albums. She has the most amazing, beautiful voice, ever.
That’s the tru tru! I have seen it twice… just amazing.
How beautiful that vibrato thing she does with her voice is. And I like idiosyncratic way of ... how she chimes to the song with her hands. Oddball-ish and cute.
Melismatic
I think it's a 'goat trill' or 'Monteverdi trill', something which apparently hasn't been in since the early 1600s: ruclips.net/video/ImShp8Sd_GU/видео.html .
When I start to move that way my wife rolls me a joint. Truly an amazing singer and band.
@@aliceknows5828 you made me laugh. I suspect Liz Fraser took a little something before the gig, hence the weird fidgeting. It didn't stop her being fantastic and probably improved her confidence
Even better her voice is this performance is immense
Not since Curtis will you see such frenetic gestural hand movement. Love you Liz.
Scotland's Cocteau Twins really were the pioneers of shoe-gazing...marvellous stuff!
This is one of bands I really wish I had seen in concert.
+Hans Carter i was lucky, got to see them in 96 at Paradiso Amsterdam. One of their last performances probably...but they did play 'Pur' one of my favorite tracks ever!
I had tickets once. They canceled as Liz was having problems with her voice. I was... disappointed.
I saw them in Dc probably 1990
One of the most amazing shows
Only Dead can Dance live was better
That was a religious experience
@@piperfox74 I had a roommate once - who is also a great singer - who got to hang out with them backstage at one of their concerts. She said Liz was deathly sick with the flu, but when she went on stage she gave the most amazing performance she'd ever seen. When the concert was over, she came backstage and collapsed. Incredible.
@@matthewsalive3964 I saw dead can dance as support act of the Cocteau Twins in Nijmegen in 1983. Epic!
Her hand gestures and rituals are so interesting! I wish she had kept it up and not held back! I guess those types of behaviors were less understood back then.
Might been from anxiety from public performing.
Liz very cute back then. Craziest hand movements since Ian Curtis
Will Heggie! Wow! So cool to see him. One of the most unique bass players ever.
Lowlife - another scottish band where Will played after leaving CT and keeped his unique bassline
Man her eyes are as ethereal as her voice
This is phenomenal, thank you so much. Elizabeth is such a strange little bird, her body language is almost as astonishing as her voice stylings.
Very true
'strange little bird'; great description, and only in good ways.
This is the Queen of POP. I heard them live in beginning of th 80s. And It takes me as much as it did then. The half-life has not yet been reached. Cocteau Twins Garlands, Head Over Heels.. are Atomic!
As i herd them live, Elizabeth was not so nervous.
Garlands was their first and best album in my view.
I’m of the very same opinion
Yes totally. Captured a weird moment in time and I got completely in sync with it.
Wow! What a treat this is! I've been looking for early footage of the Cocteau Twin for a long time. Liz is very cute and bizarre onstage at the same time. I think it's because of her shyness. This has Will Heggie on bass too! Thank you so much for posting.
Liz Fraser demonstrates how beautiful music can be...there has never been anyone like her...
I always loved this song. With the first picture I see of Will Heggie and a punkie Liz and Robin, how better could it get ?
She looks so gorgeous. I can't believe she's real
So bloody awesome, incredible sound and picture quality to come from so remote a period in the band's history. Such a shame the Brixton concert footage is not this sharp and clear. Thank you so much for the upload, it's a great service you did for CT fans on RUclips. There's just not enough footage of Heggie's bass playing wizardry to be found.
i had sleep paralysis while listening to this song, creepy experience
I turned 40 this year, and have been listening to the Cocteaus since 1988, when I watched Carolyn's Fingers on 120 Minutes. This band saved my life.
Cocteau Twins - Wax and Wane 29 January 1983: Amsterdam, Netherlands De Meervaart LIVE
FM broadcast: Alas Dies Laughing / Dear Heart / Feather Oar Blades / Hazel / Shallow Then Hallo / Blind Dumb Deaf / Wax And Wane / It’s All But An Ark Lark
wow, this is such rare footage.. brilliant..thank you for posting..
Yeah, seems pretty rare pretty #based footage
First time I've seen this. It's amazing! She has the best voice I've ever heard with the exception of Nina Simone. I just love her. I first heard her on the John Peel show in about 1982 when he played Song to the Siren by This Mortal Coil. It's my all time fave song. Thanks for posting this.
Alison Dilnutt if I remember correctly, we can find more of this gig... sure for the same period 2 or 3 other songs.
i love it when she plays her weird air guitar while looking at robin
Loved this band since 80's.. crossed over to Portisehead.. and PJ is still doing this.
This is PHENOMENAL footage! Thank you for uploading! Aside from the November 1982 Brixton gig, this is, I think, the next earliest video footage of Cocteau Twins performing live. Amazing. This whole Amsterdam concert, audio only, is on RUclips.
Been looking for the complete concert but that's the only song i get.
The complete concert is here, but just the audio ruclips.net/video/f7W8cX4OsyA/видео.html
Comment if you are still listening to the Cocteau Twins in 2020!
Only discovered this tune a few weeks ago, to my shame.
It does something special to me. Such a cool composition.
Underrated
Banda de culto
Saludos desde Perú 🇵🇪
oh... Elizabeth is SO CUTE !
Everything about this video is timeless.
everything about this is brilliance X 1,000
Perfect song, perfect band.
omg Elizabeth is adorable
Astonishing! I thought i'd seen every live TV performance video there was to be seen by the Cocteau Twins, then this turns up like a thing of rare beauty. What an amazing piece of footage, and such great quality too. Thank you so much for posting this...
A high quality live performance by the Twins! Thanks so much.. If you have more from this concert please upload it asap!!
I can't get enough of this!!!!!!!!!
WOOW!!! Thanks for the upload!!!
Legendary band, sublimely brilliant singer Liz fraser, etherial guitarist extrodinare Robin Guthrie and the one of the most unique driving basslines ever invented by Will Heggie, one the most underated Bass player of his time.
What a curious little creature she is, absolutely mesmerising and quite rightly went on to be one of the best out there.
timeless little gem of a song and video..thanku so much for the up
so great
Love the outfit and hair! I’ve never seen her like this
You should see some of their early 4AD publicity photos. Black & white pics of them fresh out of Grangemouth. What a bunch of scruffs! But this only makes them better - how could a bunch of scruffy punks like this make such phenomenal music?
Great album i love it
Great to find this video here
I’ve been trying to understand their music for the last 30 years. Impossible, but absolutely magical and fantastic. Thanks, guys!
Superb. Was lucky to see them live around the time of their 1st album.
Please more! Great quality...
I wish I could like this a hundred times! This is rare and awesome! More please!!!
Very very interesting! Magnificent
Such a dichotomy of emotions.
Liz is definitely an inspiration to Arcade Fire's Régine Chassagne.
God,I love Liz...
wonderful viewing - the Cocteaus at their best
Its my birthday today and this is by far the best present i could ever wish for!... such a rare find, my favourite track from "Garlands" and top quality too....
thanks so much for posting this, you made my day!
I love all Cocteau, Liz has a unique stage act as well as her unique voice.... don't you just love the way she counts down the next line with her fingers...
sheer bliss, a joy to watch and listen too... i'm 43 today, i've loved this band since i was 16.. i can't imagine life without them!
Best live footage I have seen of them from their earlier years. Liz is captivating to say the least. As New Order was ahead of its time, Robin and Liz were way ahead in terms of making music free of cliches, and full of charm.
superb
Wow!!!
Wow.....what a coincidence, I discover this on youtube exactly to the day 22 years after it was recorded. I am amazed at the video quality of this, either this was reshown and recorded from that or someone has managed to preserve a quality VHS or Betamax recording. This alongside the Brixton Academy gig (supporting Killing Joke) are about the earliest tv recordings out there.
beautiful.
Just, thank you.
They are so amazing...original and perfect. I wish the music industry hadn’t civilized them, even though they still sounded more than great.
so badass...
29th January 1983
Nobody
My dad: sending me videos of music
The Dutch VPRO showed this on television in a show called Hotel Suburbia and they also had a broadcast of about 30 minutes of this performance on the radio in a show called Spleen. I recorded this but I think I lost the tape.
I would have loved to have been a young man in Scotland back around the time CT formed, became friends with Robin Guthrie ... but Elisabeth Frazer's lover and future husband instead of good ol' Robin ... My god I'm so in love with her in these early 80's videos ...
AWESOME
this gig has been broadcasted in the 29/1/1983 and the band performed a whole concert...the tracklist is the following:
Alas dies laughing
Blind dumb deaf
Dear heart
Feathers oar blades
Hazel
It's all but an ark lark
Shallow then halo
Wax and wane
you can listen to the tracks (without video) on a channel called fatcatbuzz,the songs are titled Live in Amsterdam
paraatheid,if you have the entire gig,please upload it!:D!
them dance moves!!!
Liz was so cute back then. Awesome live version.
Just ...WOW !!
love love
Love her outfit tooooo
Well that is phenomenal, intense performance. She had it down, epic.
Elisabeth has the most adorable knees.
What a treasure.
GENIALLL
WOW!
What a babe
Great video :)
Great clip, though I really wish the camera person would actually ever show what Robin Guthrie is doing :/
I adore how freely you admit you have no idea what year this is from. Great footage.
Impressionante o som do Cocteau twins
Gosto muito
Will Heggie is awesome.
Punk never sounded better
Chino Moreno from Deftones brought me here.
I love them.
Curiously, Will plays with right hand bandaged.
just a fuchking heaven
❤
This is the true sound of ethereal wave.
Así empezó todo realmente muy asombroso!!!!!!!!!!
Concert in 'De meervaart' Amsterdam, organised by Vinyl-magazine. The other bands were Fad Gadget and ...
Every tour of theirs I've seen live since BBK, Liz welcomes the audience straight, then sketches-out when she sings, then plays it straight again. So I don't think it could be drugs. I guess it's her groove-thing. And Stevie Wonder has his groove-thing. In fact I've seen Liz do Stevie's groove-thing too. ;)
LA VOZ DE DIOS!
awestruck
WoW. Love it and the OG twerker!
twerkin tweaker , speeding her tits off
que bueno!!!
