Lounge Lizards "BIG HEART" - Live in TOKYO 1987 (full concert)

[@tonymorenodrums]

This was a great night. It was the third gig, but the band was locked in. We started by warming up in NYC at The Bottom Line for two nights then off to Japan. One of the most important bands I ever had the pleasure to work with. Thanks for the video.

[@revinsound]

You know...I don't remember being aware that you had worked with them. Fantastic. Miss ya, brother...

[@seantyroler1412]

I was at The Bottom Line shows. I locked into the LL around 1985 and saw every NYC show I could.

[@josephtravers777]

Great work here, Tony. Calvin did a great job as well but this is my favorite line-up of the band.

[@pistol264]

These guys jam...period...I'm 70 just turned on to them through HBO painting with John...love their vibe....

[@ishiinycairnomad718]

The live recording album was released from Non Standard label in Tokyo that was created by Harry Hosono of YMO in 1987.

[@baziajedraszko7889]

no pain for cakes and Marc Ribot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@louisef.9137]

The Lizards were wild fun, with a haunting side, always want to keep listening to them....so damn glad they've been recorded...30+ years later still diggin' this amazing music...I got old, but their music never did...

[@marSLaZZ66]

Louise F. ....timeless, like Jim Jarmusch's movies....

[@ppaaccco]

What the hell is the guitar that Marc Ribot's playing? Fender Stratocaster body, Telecaster neck and pickup configuration? The god damn 80's...

[@brötzmannsax]

Another brilliant band that was over looked and under rated, great performance, thanks!

[@nisiunavoce1264]

Great video, thanks for posting. The person most often overlooked in my opinion is Evan Lurie on piano. In the shadow of his brother but an integral part of the band holding it all together.

[@louisef.9137]

I so agree. Evan sorta sneaks in and suddenly, this amazing piano is there, glorious!

[@slobebop]

This show. I am without words.

[@serhatsen8360]

I was just going to say, that dude looks exactly like the actor from Stranger than Paradise until...great concert !

[@williamfreimuth]

Lurie’s HBO show is mesmerizing too....last week he looked out at everyone and said,, “why are you watching this? Don’t! Turn it off.” How’d he know I’m addicted to TV. couldn’t succumb to good advice....it’s too rare.

[@larissabon4389]

Очень круто:-)

[@mainadonaldson]

Oh, how did "Blow Job" come about?? I know this as "It could have been very very beautiful" (one of my favorite LL songs) Lol.

[@johnpaulcyr175]

He had to change the title of the song for the record company

[@danielapizzichemi2752]

classe

[@josephsilin6041]

John Lurie! on sax

[@Reifenthaler]

Even after almost 30 years, this has lost nothing of its power and its freshness. Where are the bands of today who play such music? Recommendations welcome!!

[@Reifenthaler]

Jack Crone Thank you! Nice one

[@frogmantha]

Yo if you don't know him, definitely check out Christian Scott; he and his ensemble were some of the most incredible players I've ever seen. I really enjoy this track, but you can't go wrong. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYW6c6uJoJiirdE

[@dramatolog]

Try these guys, not the same, but still interesting: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6SvZJRqYtV4qJY

[@tonebenderx]

What an amazing performance! Is this available on DVD or Blue-ray? I'm dying to get my hands on it.

[@ConTodayTempo]

how the hell does that guy get that sound on the bass

[@Fretlessness]

Fretless bass, active pickups, compression pedal, big amp, grow a ponytail In that order of importance

[@erikheddergott5514]

@@Fretlessness Thanks.

[@ishiinycairnomad718]

The no wave

[@briankubarycz296]

Blow Job sounds like it was copped almost entirely out of Poulenc's sonata for clarinet.

[@RezSkel]

what's oscillating?

[@岡安秀士]

当時観に行ったひといますか？

[@kaivrock]

The New York hipster thing has always been to drone on over one chord, which is what most of these songs consist of. I know, it's trying to be Ornette Coleman but Coleman was a much more talented and deeper musician. One tune from them maybe. A whole concert would be annoying.

[@scottbookman]

It's trying to be John Lurie which it does very successfully .

[@ethanrichold7425]

LOL...
