Nico, live Switzerland 1986 remastered

[@polajenjo7793]

the most underrated artists in the history of modern music...she is the creator of an entire genre, the gothic or dark music, the mother of souixie, evanescence and all that came after her

[@polajenjo7793]

@Captain Cookaburra wow lucky you for being at those times and places...hidden behind a pillar'??? jajajaja very nico...and yeah her last rock two albums were not as good as the previous but I like i anyway...thank for sharing this

[@polajenjo7793]

@Captain Cookaburra there is a remastered album here in ytb called Frozen Warnings that brings alternate version, unreleased songs from her two first albums, demos etc, it´s a great material unknown

[@andrewstein2226]

After recently watching the "Nico, 1988" film, I went and searched out every live recording of her I could get my hands on. Yes, she certainly seems to have "something" (eyes??). Listened to a bit of Souixie at one point but couldn't seem to get into it. That damn Warhol never produced that much that interested me, but he sure seemed good at finding some.

[@daveyvane9431]

Get real

[@ForARide]

Together with John Cale, who produced and arranged (composed and played all instruments, apart from Nico's harmonium) those seminal albums The Marble Index, Desertshore and The End!

[@collotpascale]

Excellente cette artiste ,je ne savais pas j'adore ce style entre Patti Smith et Marianne Faithfull (et maman d'Ari Boulogne ) je l'a découvre seulement maintenant -( RIP ) Nico et son fils Ari

[@cesarcuriel5104]

Long live the Queen

[@cafeAmericano]

One of the most authentic and beautiful artists of all time. She never got old and turned into some sort of over-decorated homogenous living Saint like Patti Smith or Joni mitchell. She was always on the fringes and that's where she thrived. She was not without flaws but it's what made her genuine. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame a stroke fest and a farce that does not deserve her.

[@comicwarrior69]

Exactly. Thank you for nailing it.

'Janitor of Lunacy' is like siren song from the dark hinterland of high art..

[@GazelyGaze]

At 18:50. Lyrics: Janitor of lunacy Paralyze my infancy Petrify the empty cradle Bring hope to them and me Janitor of tyranny Testify my vanity Mortalize my memory Deceive the devil's deed Tolerate my jealousy Recognize the desperate need Janitor of lunacy Identify my destiny Revive the living dream Forgive their begging scream Seal the giving of their seed Disease the breathing grief

[@EmilioGaroglioParis]

Christa, we love you, we miss you! RIP great immortal soul! Thanks for sharing!

[@beatezurwehme]

[@ultimatebuzz73]

This is fantastic, thank you. Nico Forever 🙏

[@jeanmarcblanc2903]

Yes yes yes.

[@feedthehead]

Beautiful. really showcases her vocals

[@ghostsam3023]

Ach ! Notre chère Nico ... 👻

[@m.choupie.]

m.choupie goes on: when nobody understands what they create take something, drugs. alcohol to stand. the pain, the excruciating pain to be able to survive, not to finishing it once and for all, because there still is a slight hope of one or two people who understands. Just a slight hope.

Une égérie et tant d'autres choses encore..Son fils adoré est enfin aux côtés de sa Mère, place qu'elle et lui n'ont jamais cessé de chercher. Reposez en paix ❤❤❤

[@silke9479]

Fils? Elle n'était donc pas une mère !

[@vitordirami9007]

She was adorable here

[@cosmickeystomycreationandtimes]

Thank you so much for this. I've only really become a fan over the last year or so. Such a genuinely underappreciated artist and misunderstood person.

[@MSYNGWIE12]

Merci, merci...NICO. An artist, understatement, SO SEMINAL...Been an avid fan for many years but each time I hear her it is like a new cosmic experience- I know she'd dislike me for putting it so! Namaste from Canada

[@danielguilherme5159]

My two favorite songs in sequence: My Heart Is Empty and Purple Lips.

[@GregoryPaulDavis]

Yes, those are wonderful. Good chap.

[@chriswareham]

Even though you can see how badly heroin had ravaged her, when she performs "Janitor of Lunacy" and "Kőnig" she still sounds amazing.

[@kajarozz]

Thank you so much for this, it is much appreciated!

[@andreasbley5963]

Absolutely unbelievable new secret unearthed! Thank you so much for sharing this. Very good sound, too!!! I love Nico since I first heard her in the 1980s. Saw her live several times in Berlin until she passed away. She is underestimated because she was a model and later a junkie. But it takes a lot of talent and courage to play strange music solo in NYC with a harmonium in 1968! I hope her talent will be more widely recognized in the future. I know, I preach to the believers...

[@microbunny]

Oh this is greatly improved! Thanks so much!

[@GazelyGaze]

You're welcome! It deserved the upgrade.

[@BernhardRottweiler]

I guess James, Toby and the rest did not realise they were making great art at the time - and history.

[@SpanglerConrad]

For me, the songs with only Nico and the harmonium are, as always, timeless. The songs with the band backing sound kind of dated to me, at least the synth. Not the notes James Young plays, but much of the sound of any 80s synth. But then I've heard their concert recordings hundreds of times, maybe I'm just tired of them for now.

[@GazelyGaze]

Most 80's synths sound very annoying!

[@jeanmarcblanc2903]

Timeless timeless timeless. Oui.

[@homeperformer]

this live version for me is same as the original. Nico never sounds the same. Always reinvents her songs. This is the experiment of art music...

[@DickUrduh-wm5yk]

The image at 4:30 is amazing. Deathrockers lol

[@MrOjohsan]

[@comicwarrior69]

Nico meant it!

[@Arckitekt]

Will there be another time ?

More base more base I still can feel my face

[@jdamasco1969]

And where will she go and what shall she do , l d feel except on studio album she said always "what shall she go" and not "do"

[@steffensrensen4434]

she was an eksample for people which wanted to fly up to the sky and burned up on the way. many ended the same way. not only artists, but politicians and workers and economists too. because of endless narcissistic love. look into your own picture in the water before drowning because falling in. the best work was with brian eno. a bit of truth.

[@GazelyGaze]

Yes! I love Sixty-Forty. Don't know why it's got that title, but it's one of her top later period songs.

@@user-yj5hl4uf5s No - but what's 'cell room'? (Apart from a jail, and I don't think that's a typical size.)

[@cazkasjmir]

Remastered ?

[@GazelyGaze]

Yes; the first version I uploaded here had very low audio, which spoilt it. As well as making it louder, I corrected other audio defects and brightened up the visuals.

[@cazkasjmir]

@@GazelyGaze You couldn't do anything about the timbre. Contains few high tones and many low tones. I was able to improve it somewhat with Audi Cleaning Lab.

[@GazelyGaze]

@@cazkasjmirAah; well you did far more sophisticated work on it. I just made it more listenable and watchable - the complaints on the old version were people saying they couldn't hear it or even see it properly! I just used the basic tools in Audacity, and adjusted the video in Filmora; I'm not a specialist in either.

[@cazkasjmir]

@@GazelyGaze Hi. I haven't changed the picture, but I have changed the sound. I can send it to you if you want. I saw her live once in the Netherlands. I also made audio recordings of that. But the recordings were not good due to the automatic volume control. One song still goes. Eulogy to Lenny Bruce.

[@GazelyGaze]

@@cazkasjmir Thanks; that would be really great! By WeTransfer to [e-mail] if that works for you? Cheers.
