Kevin Ayers & John Cale - Stop This Train

[@hughoshea1986]

This is extraordinary

[@caerphillykid]

This clip is wild! I've followed Kevin, ever seeing him and the Whole World as a teenager at the Kent Roundhouse in 1971. But this one, and amazing John Cale, is wild.

Creativity is good Cale is cool personified

[@BigArnieNumeroUno]

Nothing generic about this - bravo. Love the interesting fashion choices.

[@glimmo43]

Love this performance

[@philippemetois6491]

glad today , this is my best discovery of the day

[@thewordofgord]

Interesting that kevin would even choose to do this song, from his first and to my mind best, album, in '81, when many other tunes had come his way since. Not a patch on the original but still quite the slice of prog history. Thanks for the upload.

[@gurgisjones1120]

I really like this period of Kevin's, and am so glad to have this video footage!

[@wendywilson8460]

daaaang! Thanks for uploading, I'm a new fan.

[@windymiller6908]

Not sure about JC's crazy catsuit, but Kevin looks cool as usual.

[@GonzaloQuecuty]

Violaaaaaa.

Ollie was the Rutles’ guitarist

[@anorakthing8968]

And Ollie's ex-Timebox band mate played Barry Wom in the Rutles.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@bryant1996123]

4:37 hahaha what the fuck. The guitarist just suddenly throws his right shoe in the air, then John Cale casually kicks it towards him ...

[@pepebotella971]

Ollie halsall heje

[@nicolasmrn]

Very tryhard

[@felixfelix1477]

My that does look like fun!

[@leebritnell8668]

A favourite track of mine,very good version.Why isn't Ayres better known?

[@timflatus]

Basically every time he got anywhere close to "making it" he fucked it up and retired to some Mediterranean island or similar to concentrate on red wine and other substances.

[@dantean]

It's difficult for me not to feel Ollie Halsall shouldn't have been given some billing in the naming of this post, particularly given the histrionics he's so courteous to provide. Thanks, either way, though.

List of people , both dead and alive , cooler than John Cale :

[@wineinmyfeet3741]

[@gostrum1]

I get the distinct impression you’re a fan of John Cale

[@krisscanlon4051]

Not many...

[@bluebellbeatnik4945]

[@FlightRiskWizard]

If John Cale has worked with you/has credited you as influence, you’re instantly cool.

... this train can not be stopped !!! On a railway train to anywhere, Something happened finally. The driver said he saw no station And we were riding aimlessly. The train was filled with sleeping passengers, Going nowhere for the ride; Spoken whispers filled the carriages No one cared to look outside. Conversation aimed at anyone Bouncing questions off the wall; Except for two excited children. Burning caterpillars in the hall. All at once, I got quite frightened.. Standing up, I gave a shout! "I see a station just in front of me , Stop this train and let me out!" The driver smiled and shook his head for me, "this train don't stop for anyone. And, if you want to leave this railway line, You'll have to jump off on your own. Someone came and gave me sandwiches, Saying that I looked unwell. He took my pulse and he gave it back to me, And then he hit me with his bell. He made a speech to all the passengers, He said "I've been a place today; And anyone who'd care to come with me.. Step outside and walk this way." Inside the seats were warm and comfortable, Outside the train was wild and strange. I said, "yes, sir, I'd like to come with you, It's really time I made a change." I left my seat and walked up front with him, And he began to push the door. I looked outside, but it nearly blinded me.. I'd never seen such light before.

My God. Who was that woman on the keyboards???????

[@onezitman]

[@pacu9]

I bet Cale kept a close watch on her

[@AkisPerdikis]

@@joannetelling Hello... Cale married fashion designer Betsey Johnson in 1968. The couple divorced in 1971 having been married three years. In 1971, Cale met Cynthia "Cindy" Wells, better known as Miss Cindy of the GTOs, and they married soon afterward. Their marriage was rocky and they divorced in 1975. On 6 December 1981, Cale married his third wife, Risé Irushalmi. They had one daughter together, Eden Cale. They divorced in 1997. (Wiki)
