I see you have posted a few videos from the Cardiacs gig at the Camden Falcon from late January 1999. Were you involved in their production at all? I ask because my brother Jonathan Banks was and I am trying to track down the other camera persons. Thanks

Hard to believe this was 25 years ago. Great run of 3 nights at the Camden Falcon

Amazing ❤

Never seen the live version of this one

'Lifeboat jim' 😆

Fucking great performance of an absolute barn-burner from the truly magical 'Guns'.

Happiness And Joy x x

Is there more footage of this gig?

Simply unreal.

Tiny Bob Leith. Pretty as a picture. What a drummist.

Superb

Unreal.

Great video - I can almost smell the smells of a Cardiacs Concert Performance

Who he?

I wanna cry with Joy watching this. No other band comes even close. Loads of love to you Tim ;)

PPS EVEN MORE perfect! :)

PS If the original uploader could adjust the thumbnail to show something other than an ugly brown blob when posted on Facebook, this Big Ship would be perfect!

While the Mare's Nest version of Big Ship is obviously fantastic, I think THIS might be the best live clip of the song on KZbin, simply because it captures the crowd's euphoric hands in the air moment so perfectly. In fact, it might be the best video in terms of capturing the truly unique communal magic of Cardiacs gigs full stop. Look at those faces! Celebrating happiness and joy, all around the world…

There kind of is a studio version now. Its on the latest God Damn Whores album called "hey ya hey ya hey ya ho". Seeing as the song is written by Jon Poole it seems only right that he released it. And the album version is every bit as good as Cardiacs version

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHY IS THERE NO STUDIO VERSION OF THIS

great song!

God Bless Tim!

Great song, never heard it before! Amazing band and Tim's a treasure.

God, it's been ages since I came back and listened to their live stuff (thanks to Belscotia for uploading it). So damn powerful, with lyrics that give me goosebumps. I was lucky enough to see them twice ... and now I realize there'll never be another band like them. I miss them so much.

I miss them so much.

you see the love of the crowd for the band,your all on the same level at the gig,no agro as your all share the same understanding for the group,,its a select few who only get the cardiacs,what a buzz to see them and to be with like minded people.

Pretty sure I recorded this gig on minidisc- when player is fixed I'll try to upload!! Great to see one of the last Cardiacs gigs I got to before kids and stuff intervened!

TRULY beautiful

All of the noise takes me to the ouside where theres all Creations joining in celebrating happiness and joy All around the world on land and in the sea

Goosebumps at 3:11

Yes fucking yes. TIM

@lightoffuturedays Actually Cardiacs make ALL other bands look crap! ;o)

seeing everybody in chorus sing along, usually being cheesy, makes me want to kill puppies because i have never seen them live

It's actually rather difficult to watch this without being totally overcome by the utter joy and beauty at the end. The most incredible band this world has EVER known. God bless you Tim x

First time I've seen this one! If it is at the Camden Falcon then it's the gig I met my wife at!

Brilliant, saw them in Brighton in 1990 and this vid brought back great memories.

Cardiacs make loads of other bands look crap.

feel free to join the facebook group cardiacs -the duck and roger the horse, for christmas number 1, 2010

It's enough to give GEESE people pimples.

Shivery tingly fingers in the Brain!

Orgasmic.

In a pub at Whitchurch me and Tim tried to get served by a dog. The dog won. Awesome band.

majestic.

Fabuloso, extraordinario, queremos màs!

lovely and sparkly ....happy happy

At last, video evidence confirming that the Boner is alive and well, together with his assistant, Nora von Slootgarden. Where was this filmed, a hangar in Area 51 perhaps? Who were those 'musicians' making that interminable racket in the background? Are they aliens from another planet who have not yet mastered Earthly instruments? This is obviously a cover up that has gone wrong. Ha, Mr Jones, claiming to be the Boner indeed! This video raises more questions than it answers...

I'm trying to spot me.... I'm sure I'm there at the front somewhere, and I've got to have *something* to show the kids!! This is a great recording- captures all the live epic-ness of Big Ship in all it's glory and wonderment! Wish I could be in that mosh pit again right now...*sigh*...

My favorite song.

genius, always was and always will be

Oh God I'm being sucked in again, I can't resist, I've broken the no sicky rule.
