Raincoats in Warsaw April 1978

[@paulharvey2851]

Paloma (Palmolive) is just such a surge of energy and joy on the drums and as the recent Slits Documentary shows, a wonderful human being - in my top three drummers along with Moe Tucker and Ginger Baker!

Gina Birch's bass sounds and dancing are incredible.

[@herchelleonwood7463]

[@CIRIL03]

The E string is out of tune 😊 rock on!

[@-alfeim2919]

i loved their energy!!! loved their instrument, loved their concepts and that childlike sense, i loved their sense of individuality and free spirit, there's something really mystical and powerful about them

[@chrissmith8526]

Lovely memories this band found me outside one of there gigs in north London and drove me all the way back to south London lovely people

[@SoulStylistJukeBox]

Music was so happening in '78 that bands were good even if they weren't.

[@croiners4166]

Ther were lots of bad bands that really sucked ❤

This is unbelievable, I read about it, but I didn't know that it was filmed! Thanks for the upload

[@ADAMSIXTIES]

I got their LPs in the '80s. Kurt Cobain also while in London went into record stores looking for Raincoats albums.

[@in3rcia218]

his list of 50 favorites albums of all time is kick ass list

[@guillegermo9406]

If I not wrong they produced Incesticide...

Are you have more video from Warsaw?

[@wickis]

fucking awesome!

[@sieglindewebb]

"The Hunt" Song👌😎

[@NOWtheband]

Excellence.

[@losttango]

Interesting to see how much they calmed down in a year. The second gig is the Raincoats I remember. Gina appears to have taken Captain Sensible as her model in the Warsaw show... 😉

[@losttango]

I also seem to remember they did some great shows with Charles Hayward on drums..... be good to see some footage of that, if it exists....

[@zbigniewsemik7969]

@teetheather - are you an author of that footage? :)

[@weltmude]

y yo juraba que eran de los 90s o_O

[@StefanMikulski]

1978. 1st and 2nd of April 1978. Riviera-Remont in Warsaw. Not 1977.

Surely it's Walsall, West Midlands. Haven't we been told relentlessly that all semblance of creativity was brutally suppressed by the evil Reds? How did they make it out of the salt mine? Immortal band, up there with the Slits and the divine Kleenex/LiLiPUT in the famale postpunk pantheon that made all before it sound like tired old-fart rock (apart from the Adverts, of course).

[@losttango]

Surely no co-incidence that the Soldarnosc uprising occurred jus three years later..... 😉
