This was the Ozrics I fell in love with. Best line up ever!

[@titntin5178]

I was here! Fantastic to find this after so many years....

[@musicboyuk]

Best era of Ozrics by far

[@stevenblakeakahashburns]

Seen Ozrics many times. Gonna see them again tomorrow in Glasgow 😀

[@scottwylie8568]

This was the first gig I ever attended.

[@zetetick395]

No better place to start, eh? :D

[@mbolden393]

I was there too! I almost feel melty and sweaty just reminiscing 😊

[@Pfth]

Me too! It was a transcendental experience... (don't honestly remember a lot about it other than being mesmerized by auditory and visual hallucinations! lol)

[@PompousPicard1]

Fuck, I used to have this on VHS! Living in a tiny state in the US, in the mid '90s as a teenager, I figured this was the closest I might ever get to seem them live.

[@cybersurfer666]

Saw them loads in the 80s and 90s .. awesome band

[@zetetick395]

Early Ozrics were just undefeatable live, fucking awe inspiring! I THINK I was here for this one? Honestly the whole period has just melted into a vast psychedelic swirl lol 🍓🕊 😅 worth it 🤣

[@michaelbeale42]

I may have been too. Fuck knows, good chance. Hahaha

[@tomstegeman4344]

Maybe you'd remember if you were there if the camera guy wasn't such a smacked-ass. What the fuck was he thinking?

[@mexkris23]

If they were supporting Caravan, then I think I was there.

[@waynesilverman3048]

Zet,them superstrawbs,nice and strong!

[@GamerShanksi]

This is probably their best firing on all cylinders gig. Gotta love the Ozrics. Epic stuff when the tickly guitar starts at 33:45 then goes stratospheric. TY The Ozrics for the experience. Edit: most of it is stratospheric.

[@rossp1991]

Solid bass player !

[@patkelly8309]

Snakepit was like a video game tune and people were actually lifting their feet up looking out for snakes - Drugs eh? lol Fantastic tune and gig.

[@newsles2]

Lovely, thanks. First saw them in '91.

[@DrumSolVanIsle]

Great instruction for bassists, and how to hold down one key - and be at the top of the world.

[@earinsound]

as a bassist i support this statement. haha. Roly Wynne was a great bassist. RIP

[@tomstegeman4344]

Also a great instruction for camera men on how to tarnish and taint a piece of musical history. The camera guy needs his ass kicked for this, even 30 years later

[@ozricness]

@@tomstegeman4344 Not really, it's the editor who fucked this up. The camera work is OK, it's all the stupid visuals added on top of it that ruin it.

[@Alji3dom]

John is completely off his box on hallucigens mushrooms or acid.

[@LustyClassyCat]

I liked the period when the flute guy was around. But the 80's will always be my favorite. After around 2001 it just not the same.

[@jbradbury2]

Agree, In fact you could go a bit further and say late 90s onwards ozrics music had a different feel, not quite as many nice suprises in their songs. My last ozric purchase was "Become the other"

[@TheMcmikerg]

I can understand nostalgia for the early stuff, but I honestly don't think they've ever done a duff album. It's ALL brilliant, even if later Ozrics is more techno / sequencer-driven. "Waterfall Cities" is especially great.

[@pagancidergod8840]

@@TheMcmikerg And Spirals In Hyperspace too - a real return to form.

[@LustyClassyCat]

Tho his recent album is very nice, y'all check out Shimmer Into Nature album, Ed Wynne solo album. it reminds me of the 90s era of them.

[@LustyClassyCat]

@@TheMcmikerg some albums i did not like at all were The Floors too Far Away and Paper Monkeys.

[@jbradbury2]

One of the best intros ever, generator John is absolutely crucial to the mix.

SEAWEED! YAAASSSS!! \😸/ Delicious Tentacles slow-writhing iridescent neon slime across my tripping skin! .................Mmmmmmm, you're my favourite Octapus, Monsieur Ozrico! 🐙

[@livewirejams7032]

Not Seaweed on this mate. Joie...

[@hplovehandle]

Of all the Ozrics gigs I've been to I think the Fridge ones were the best. Good acid,good mates and amazing music.

[@ednewton4455]

Big Dave , I loved the Fridge 😀

[@tjwykoff3203]

What's the live music scene like there is there more bands like this

[@pedrotierra2117]

Ozric Tentacles siempre maravilloso

[@zachmcfatridge]

Awesome, thanks for the upload.

[@zetetick395]

What can I (or anyone) say, they really are the fucken best @~@

[@waynesilverman3048]

Did they take psychedelics before they went on stage ?

[@zetetick395]

@@waynesilverman3048 Nowadays we've mostly all heard about that some folk 'micro-dose' daily with certain psychedelics, yeah? Well it's said to be Historical fact that it was the Ozrics who invented it's sister- spa-regimen: 'Macro-dosing' - The blood-shroom ratio has to be maintained at 3/1 at all times.... ...Although none of them can now remember which part was the three and which the one.........so further therapeutic experimentation is definitely called for. I'd do it myself, of course, but have a over-busy I.T. business life crafting utterly spurious smartphone apps and need to remain as unoriginal as possible in my levels of neuro-plasticity :(

[@rocknrollhippy771]

I really really love this band. Not as keen on some of the later techno driven moments, but on the whole, (apart from Technicians of the Sacred and the majority of Paper Monkeys), for me, they've never really dropped a bollock! Saw them with Gong at Manchester Academy a couple of weeks ago for the first time in a while, and they were absolutely on fire. Technology has allowed their big screen backdrop to really fly these days, a mind blowing long version of Kick muck really helped everyone peak🤣love this though, as I didn't get to start seeing them live till the late 90's given my age. They were great when John Egan was around, although with all due respect I wish he'd keep his gob shut🤦😝✌️

[@waynesilverman3048]

I never ever liked instrumental s apart from interstellar overdrive tune ,ozrics I can listen as I love psych any way but I stiil like the organic version of them on that 1985 KZbin vid live at rainbow fest Norwich

[@ednewton4455]

FFS! I remember queueing for this gig only to be told sold out not far from reaching the front 😟 However, did catch a blinding show a year or two later at the Town and Country (I seem to recall that Hawkwind were at the Hammersmith Apollo the same night!)

[@ednewton4455]

Forgotten I'd written that post. Looking forward to the box set with this included 😀

[@yogbarog100]

@@ednewton4455 indeed, I have the VHS, but the boxed set is most welcome

[@mdog111]

What a brilliant performance! Credit where credit's due: this was almost certainly filmed by Bill Woods and his team at a gig promoted by Grob and Jennifer who staged many psychedelic events in London in the late 80's and early 90's under the moniker of Brainbox Pollution.

[@paullegg9682]

What happened to Bill Woods ? Any contact for him? i was on his label taste/divine

[@tomstegeman4344]

After watching this, I really wish he hadn't had filmed it. Even for 1991, the quality sucks. And the annoying shaking of the camera and blurry zooming in/out doesn't help to make the experience "psychedelic", nor do the windows 95 media player laser graphics that are pasted over everything. What a mess. "Bill" needs his ass kicked. Even 30 years later.

[@frontdesk9662]

[@IdoBenZvi89]

is there a version without that annoying video special effects ? or anything from the good years with roly on bass?

Tell the bongo player to get his coat.

Is he playing out if time?

I feel the same sentiment about the camera guy. What a smacked-ass.
