[@seanthegreatish]

Rest in piece Dr Smith. Sleep thee well better and easy.

[@fcamiola]

Beautifully said. 21 July is approaching soon. We love you, you Beautiful beautiful man! All hail Timmy!

[@Justin-xd4bt]

I've been through maaaany musical phases. Discovered many bands way too late. Im always late to the party, musically. But, the love affair I've found in Cardiacs and Tim... makes life worth living.

[@allforthebit]

All these clips of the band playing live, regardless of the quality of audio in the video, they always sound so stellar. What I wouldn't give to go back in time and experience this all in person. Get better, Tim..

[@davidmulqueen6110]

Tim, we miss you. But yeah, I hear this on record and I'm like "there's no way they can recreate this live". And then they do, over and over.

[@stephendallison1465]

What a voice what a talent what a gifted man and band to grace any stage.! genius!

[@jjdubois6101]

Shivers through the whole of this

[@WDeeGee1]

[@jobzagudn]

Thank you. This brought a few tears

[@gg-pe9tb]

Glorious

[@voodoolander]

Immense. Immense. Immense.

[@malcolmite]

This song is incredible.

[@davechrystal]

Tim was a god among men... and I hate that I am 20 years late hearing this. My life has been a WASTE.

[@joetimmins2619]

If its any consolation me too. Still, glad I have found them, talk about a treasure trove to uncover. It absolutely baffles me how they weren’t more well known, everything theyve done is absolutely mesmerising. The man was a bloody genius.

[@Justin-xd4bt]

I KNOW, right?! I've only first heard Cardiacs in 2020. But, we know now. 🙂

[@pierredessureault2462]

Genius live forever

[@lucywills9740]

Ha. I was there. It was all just beyond, beyond words. A shimmering pond in a sea of relative dullness. Music press HATED them, refused to review etc. But thos who KNEW, just KNEW.

[@davechrystal]

@@lucywills9740 you were at this show!? Omg I'm so JEALOUS!! Lucy, I can not even imagine. I wish so bad that someone would have turned me on to them back in the 80s or 90s. I have definitely noticed that with Cardiacs, you either GET THEM or you DON'T. and I GOT them. RIGHT AWAY. and I was in heaven discovering each new song. (New to me) I have never FELT music like I do with Cardiacs. I mean, music is my LIFE.. And I love so many artists from so many genres, but this is different. This is something totally special. And I am so happy and honored to be in the relatively small group who loves them. Even if I am very late to the game. Better late than never, though. And YOU, Lucy, are part of an even SMALLER group of people who were there while it was HAPPENING! I wish I could ask you 100 questions!

[@danboid]

Institutionalised quick sleeps are the order of the day!

[@freedok]

Tim was so, so far ahead of our time. Like Jeff Buckley, gone too soon.

[@christopherbutche5047]

According to the gig list Cardiacs did not perform after October 1999. However, they did play three consecutive nights at The Falcon in January 1999. On the upload for Signs Tim mentions at the start it being Sunday after a late Saturday, so are these recordings from Sunday, January 31, 1999?I ask because it would mean the songs from Guns were performed before the release of the album later in the year.

[@mrjonnieb24]

Yes, we filmed on 30 and 31 Jan 1999. I think there may be other footage from the third night in there as well. I think a later performance that year (possibly the last one) might have been at the LA2 or the marquee or somewhere like that. I went to that one and that was filmed too, but not by me.

[@christopherbutche5047]

I notice this is edited from multiple cameras, one of which appears to be filming from the side of the stage. I take it not official but you got stage access?

[@middlelanebasil]

A very jolly tune but why is Tim wearing a Newcastle scarf?

[@Kobayashi704]

Quick sleep
