Henry Cow - No More Songs

[@juniorbaracat9438]

Great band, great song, no doubt. It intrigues me why I like Dagmar Krause so much. I do try to understand where the beauty and power of her singing lie and cannot answer. She is just amazing, different, unique, be it with Henry Cow, Slapp Happy, Art Bears, Kevin Coyne. Love her.

[@growskull]

its the talent & power of operatic singing but still with the personality of normal style

[@finnkdy]

Simplement, unnameable.

[@TheVeryBlondeOne]

Fun fact: Georgina Born, bassist/cellist of Henry Cow is related to country-pop singer Olivia Newton-John, cousin-wise - they both share the same grandfather Max Born.

[@burgersoft777]

Henry Cow at their rehearsed to death prime. Now I can detect the pop music and I like this band more than at anytime I can recall. Even so the pure improvisations were and are the meat of their extensive catalogue.

[@corrio8781]

Une magnifique chanson de Phil Ochs par le plus grand groupe de rock !

[@hirofan]

Phil Ochs' antiwar song "I Ain't Marching Anymore" is one of the most powerful songs ever written.. brings me to tears. I'm pleased to learn that Henry Cow covered one of his tunes. ♥

[@shericontrary2535]

Wow, magnificent vocal range

[@paullavan6098]

Phil Ochs, you will always be my hero.

[@7Beyonder]

THIS is amazing...to actually see this band perform live....I have most of their recordings, live in the USA, so Ive never saw them peform. I love RIO, Zappa, the Italian prog band AREA

[@allegoricalstatue]

why do I watch this every single week?

[@creemcheese]

So beautiful, so powerful.

[@cesarmalopoet3169]

This is real music, awesome.

[@dreamwell2020]

OK - Just the words "flower in a flame" are well worth the price of admission.

[@sleep1937]

man that's brilliant.

[@rrte2]

I was thinking "why, in a band full of stars, does the camera always focus on the bassist". Then I went to do some research on Georgina Born and found that now she is a professor at Cambridge! Henry Cow, what an odd and exquisite band

[@rrte2]

@AlexanderBabikovHimself I know who they are - I just wasn't aware of Georgina. Thank you for the explanation, anyway!

[@rrte2]

@AlexanderBabikovHimself lol, amd I still like Henry Cow! :)

[@JanahiPiero]

i love this song

[@user-cc117rc5akr]

Great! Dagmar!!

[@AMeatBeetle]

Oh my goddess, this is incredible. I've listened to both Ochs and Henry Cow for decades, and had no idea this recording existed. Thanks for posting.

[@schragemusik]

Yes. Thanks for posting this. Henry Cow were one of my favourite bands (saw them a few times) and Dagmar is absolutely peerless. Her 'Tank Battles' is worth a few hundred listens. As is anything by Art Bears.

[@nikolaosmosxakis3395]

VERY VERY GOOD ...............................

[@TheProclaroIndonesia]

Great song ...!

[@myfaithmydestiny]

one of my favorite songs of all time !!

[@Trevoirio]

That's drumming. Dagmar Krausse really touches.

[@chortkoffandriggio]

Was just here looking at Phil Ochs. Cool bad!

[@cesarmalopoet3169]

Super,super,this is the first time i seem Henry cow in video,excelent video.

[@joolz2323]

Great clip- fantastic!! Thanks for posting it

[@mackecm2]

life is strange.. i've beeen a henry cow fan since 1975. Now I need to find out more about Phil Ochs!

[@zimmerbotit]

So, did you? He's amazing, right?

[@chicback1]

So good!!!!!!!!

[@vandertop2]

The fact that this amazing video was made available after 33 years gives me some hope that some footage from Magma's 1973/74 concerts will be found .....

[@Subalternmagazine]

This is so beautiful. In every thinkable way. Goosebumps.

[@vth42]

Great! Thank you!

[@lazyslip2962]

yeah c'est magnifique R.I.O. mega group with a vocal

[@3243_]

Far out. The Most Intimidating Vocalist In Art/Progressive Rock in all her glory. And at this time, from what I understand, she was not in the best of health. Which only makes this performance all the more remarkable.

[@growskull]

funny to think if it wasnt for this then she'd just have been in some random comedy band, nothing against slapp happy ofcourse but henry cow really brought out the talent she had

[@3243_]

@@growskull Krause also was pretty brilliant in an earlier band called I.D. Company. And seriously, she is a great singer. It took me a lot of time to get used to her unique voice.

[@growskull]

@3243_ oh ive never heard of that before, listening rn its pretty cool, their voices are very different haha. yeah her voice is unique but once you get used to it its amazing

[@danielrisso3032]

Brillante...

I've rolled in here on a gentle wave of early morning insomnia and it seems like a nice space to chill for a few minutes before being tugged back out into the digital ocean of night and it's restless tidal forces.

Magical ! Thanks for posting.

[@quercusrobur2002]

Henry Cow performed this piece when i saw them live at the Queens Hotel, Westcliff on Sea in 1977

[@paullavan1853]

Phil forever.

[@gkorein]

holy awesome

[@VitalyArtemov]

Браво !

[@barbaquebells2574]

Amazing.. Great performance..

I remember this one in concert back in 1976/77... one of the best live experiences in my life.

[@Flatscores]

Gorgeous and intense.

[@glitchesandglitter]

thankyou for posting this. this is the first henry cow footage i've seen.

[@krnewman]

great to see Georgie Born playing. Not too easy to find. She's great

[@saengerinclarisse]

I like this record very much ;-)

[@wagneruacari]

Fantástico, thanks, Mercy, obrigado!!!!

[@jaygold9923]

this song was on Phil Ochs' greatest hits album. very interesting arrangement. one of my faves. very sad song. is there anybody home...? thanks!

[@3243_]

And D definitely want to point out that she is one heck of a singer, even if her voice takes a little getting used to (and some can never deal with Krause's singing).

[@drmanny1957]

I seem to remember that Georgina Born played bass guitar on "1/2 The Sky" off the Western Culture album.

[@ponkoffmusic]

a real youtube treasure!

[@oldsynner]

Thank you!

[@BernardMontmartre]

Salut miss Charlotte, merci d'être passée :) Biz.

[@BernardMontmartre]

Yes it is. this video comes from the bonus DVD of the aniversary box. I choosed this song for copyright reasons. The concert DVD just worth the price of bying the entire box. BUY IT! If you are a true fan, you won't regret. (en français: c'est extrait du DVD bonus du coffret 40ème anniversaire. Pour des raison légales, je ne vais pas publier l'intégralité du concert, ACHETEZ LE, ça vaut le prix).

[@henryporvaznik9288]

Such an unknown band. Too bad. Thank you.

[@janwillemvanderham]

Lidsay Cooper is playing bassoon!

[@volasoo]

gracias a capusotto escuche esta gran cancion

[@diddywahdaddy]

Just the very thought of vintage Henry Cow footage EVER...and colours???!!!

[@BernardMontmartre]

Not quite. Art Bears is composed of former members of Henry Cow, true, but they are different bands.

[@geo5734]

Merci pour cette vidéo, enfin un live d'Henry Cow sur KZbin ! J'imagine que c'est extrait du DVD 40th anniversary box ?? I'm going to buy it ! J'ai vu Henry Cow en concert en 1975, 76 et 77, ça reste des souvenirs énormes... Et les revoir à travers une vidéo c'est fantastique.

[@lucandrieuxpaintings]

Quelle chance ! je n'avais que 10 ans et je les ai découverts à 24ans, il existe d'autres live sur youtube ceci dit.

[@elizium4]

You can find this song on the Stockholm & Göteborg live album.

[@YuriRadavchuk]

Great cover. Be sure to check out the Celebrating Phil Ochs 75th Birthday Facebook page or the Celebrating Phil Ochs website.

[@BernardMontmartre]

@96ThePericles None. It was only played live

[@goingfortheone1]

You should hear what Henry Cow did to a Yabirds song.

[@krisscanlon4051]

Yes unrecognizable

[@lexo30]

True. Art Bears was Krause, Cutler and Frith. Tim Hodgkinson and Lindsay Cooper didn't play with Art Bears, to the best of my knowledge, not live anyway. Georgina Born played bass on the first Art Bears album, but none of the rest of them.

[@Flechokalhipto]

de Leyenda!!!

[@oglethorpecadwallader7274]

Curiously, the art music direction Phil Ochs was heading with his last couple of albums isn't that far from this - certainly not as far as his older folk material. After listening to Pleasures of the Harbor, I could hear this same backing track with Phil singing.

[@ananitap]

yo tambien lo conozco x capusotto :) es hermoso

[@davidmb1595]

What do they saw in French at the beginning of this video? I understand "notre chanson… de Phil Oaks… (Something I don't understand) … américain… écrivent de chanson, il chanteur été americain (Some other thing that I don't understand) qui s'appelle "Plus de chansons" What are the other things he says? Help

[@zarathustra3830]

"Une autre chanson (euh) de Phil Oaks (euh) un très grand (euh) [laughs] (américain) écrivain de chansons et chanteur américain très fort., qui s'appelle (euh) Plus de chansons."

Dane Roderick thank you

[@bombitza]

she reminds me of peter hammill.

[@arvidsmith1038]

Phil Ochs committed suicide just a few months prior to this concert. Chris Cutler had high praise for Phil Ochs in his R.I.O. notes

[@robertlawson682]

this is from the box set..go buy it!

[@krisscanlon4051]

On the more trivial side I noticed they all dressed in paramilitary gear.

[@arvidsmith1038]

Dagmar was a committed Mao-ist then and thus the jacket.

[@krisscanlon4051]

@@arvidsmith1038 fascinating 👌

[@veitstauffer9044]

don't think that was their intention. watch out for photos with Robert Wyatt on stage, 1975. have you seen my photos from Henry Cow, Lugano, September 1977? Very different 'normal 70's' dressing.

[@BernardMontmartre]

Didn't Tim and Lindsay play on the first AB CD "Hopes & Fears" ? And Georgina on the last HC CD "Western Culture" ?

[@Flatscores]

A guy said: "This sounds like a high-school rock band." Hahahaha. Oh man, when one does not know anything of Henry Cow.

[@lazaraza]

the recording is a bit dull though...

[@Quinceps]

@@lazaraza When you know music you can tell apart bad recordings from bad musicianship. This is obviously good music. Maybe the other guy just didn't like it anyway. It's rather languid. Reminds me of Van Der Graaf Generator.

[@lazaraza]

[@andrejgustincic4950]

Who is the bassist?

[@BernardMontmartre]

Georgina Born

[@elusiverobertdenby]

1976 -- that was the year Ochs committed suicide. Would this be a tribute? In any event, Henry Cow does right by the song.
