Ha TOPS! Get him some new socks too

To corrupt a quote from MES; "David Thomas and your grandma' on bongos is Pere-Ubu" but, then again, this is one of the finest Ubu line ups I've ever heard!

Those first chords….

What a great band!

One of those great songs I used to hear on radio 2jj in Sydney back in the late 70s while pretending to do homework

Drummer thinks he's playing for Nirvana!😂

😂Pere Ubu in 2013? You're sh***ing me!😅

Se eu ouvise esse som em minhas épocas de tendência Punk 1990 , eu teria pirado nessa banda !

Fanno vera musica

Heino (deutscher Schlagersänger) ist auch nicht schlechter.

When my kid brother was still in highschool, he played Asteroids with David Thomas. Later on, he made some beautiful photographic portraits of him.

I saw you in the 90s in Frankfurt at the Cookies (monday midnight concert). You didn't have to be sober back then. I love you and your music and I hope to see you again.

Pathetic if you have to read the lyrics. The voice is horrible to

This has always been one of my favorite Pere Ubu songs. It has a deep creepiness to it, but still manages to be melodic and powerful.

Brilliant, brilliant.…

Rippin’ new butholes to a new butthole type “Hairway” jam 2:35

Long hair on drums

David’s having fun. He takes a hit out of his flask at 1:00 😂

Totally bonkers, fantastic, unforgettable

Pere Ubu is genius.

Good thing I wasn't at that show I'd have went to jail that singer to the hospital ...lol

Who in the fuck is that singer? He .. she . Sucks wtf

Great version……so much energy……of course miss the original brilliant guitar work…..but this version is just so fucking good…………..it’s just good to see that after all these years…..time has still not caught up to David and his beautiful compositions…….he still sounds like the future……..😊

What a fucking drummer. Just insane talent.

OHIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my spud state

Final solution sounded so much better when they were pere ubu. Thats just me.

when you wait for that solo you started to love in 1978!, but here it's played bad.

Who is in this band?

Filmed in the prep-flight hangar of Battlestar Plymouth,

Don't usually go see bands from the way back, but they were so fuckin good when I saw them @ Slims in SF a few years ago. I was dancing with total joy, but since I'm pretty big 6"4 285#, people were looking at me really weird. Like what are you supposed to do around such brilliance. Maybe sketch the band like at a museum, but other than that, fuck off!

Lucky enough to see Pere Ubu and Virgin Prunes at North London Poly 1981.

papa uh mau ma mau

loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Hi ! Does someone know the name of the Run DMC song ?

What does David Thomas exactly say at the beginning of this video? I can't recognise all of the words... What I do, perhaps incorrectly, understand is this: "Back in 1975, Cleveland had the second largest population of [...] outside of China, and at that time the Chinese damn communists [...] had them bombs, [...] that radiation float(ed) across the North Pole and [...] directly to Cleveland, Ohio. I thought there was something in this. I thought this was a metaphor. I thought this was a sort of a metaphor for the man-woman relation[...]ship". Can anybody fill in the gaps for me? Thanks a million for your help!

Shit. Fuckin' awesome. Rad theremin, and love D. Thomas's trumpet. All the fear, confusion, and terror from the original.

So bizarre but Thomas has turned into Slingblade. I mean that with the most affection
