Cardiacs @ Astoria 2001

[@robertclarke4265]

I was there! Right at the front! Last song was the whole world window with Bob singing & Jon & Tim on keyboards. Bless em all

[@makeway4thebigfish]

madness and beauty, I LOVE till my last breath.

The greatest band off all time playing the best venue ever.

[@christopherbutche5047]

Top end footage! In colour and night-vision, off stage, on stage. Find out what the drummer sees. Guest appearances from Luckman and Quy, play spot the Cardiac: the back of Torabi's head, Bic in the dressing room. Jo Spratley, Miss Swift, Mr Steven's filming his own shoes. This film has something for everyone, and if you dont like the music, half of it is missing as The Consultant hares around the venue to set up the next piece of camera verite.

I miss this band *so* much. This vid just reminded me how much. Didn't miss this gig, though - remember it well. And look - that's me in the front row!!! Shaking my head as if I had long hair to mosh with... which I didn't back then! Awesome stuff.

[@decodeine]

The first time I saw The cardiacs in 1992 made me weep. A band that changed my perception of musice FOREVER!!! Tim Smith, a poet! My Bloody Valentine 2008 Roundhouse, not a good night.

[@ducksdeluxxe]

I was there! Thank you so much for this, it's fantastic!

[@RaBob]

If you want to see TIM SMITH spew watery drink spray as a perfect moment of everything CARDIACS, start watching at 11:34 and follow TIM SMITH with your eyees to the far right side of the screen where you will see the Leader Of The Starry Skies SPEW FORTH IN PERFECT TIMING with the band.

[@Monkeyhead75]
