Cardiacs - Big Ship

[@armyofmoths]

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

[@TheRichN]

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…

[@JohnShadeLIVES]

Exactly. The energy is off the charts!

[@dominicseanmccann6300]

Rude or paradiso for me. Still a blinder though. "Come on darlin'..... " still makes me move.

[@larkstoungue]

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

[@Trinli]

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

[@JohnShadeLIVES]

Ditto.

[@docdaneekaflies]

genius, always was and always will be

[@voodoolander]

I miss them so much.

[@armyofmoths]

TRULY beautiful

[@MrPapaGondo]

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

[@DavidBeaumont]

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.

[@Ringtar]

My favorite song.

[@voodoolander]

That is just amazing. Utterly amazing. God bless Tim and all who sail with him.

[@antjord1]

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

[@homegrowndave]

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.

[@giseerouchon]

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!

[@shed_number_xii]

Hi, sorry to bother you 8 years later, but can you give a link for the mentioned thing if you have indeed uploaded it?

[@esirenbotdon]

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*...

[@dogstand]

Wow! The hairs on the back of my neck are standing up. Thank you for that Belscotia!!

[@luxford60]

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

[@musicandchips]

I was excited about the Astoria on the 16th before. Now I'm fit to burst! See you down the front!

[@Greenp1g]

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

[@jibberandtwitch]

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

[@Benn.singersongwriter]

Is there more footage of this gig?

[@stephenadamsactor]

[@esirenbotdon]

Hi, Where (& when exactly...) was this? I'm sure I'm down at the front there, but it's hard to tell for sure. Happy times eh!!

[@musicandchips]

[@mioluce]
