The Enid - Something Wicked This Way Comes (Andrew Cross)

[@lazylaurablue]

Definitely bringing back memories. I saw them 2 or 3 times late '70s/early '80s in Folkestone. Always a good night.

[@kevsalmon6573]

brings back such great memories

[@BaddaBigBoom]

Same here.

[@Danni100]

Brings back my youth in 1987, sitting in my boyfriend's bedroom listening to quality music. My husband used to purchase the Fanzine, the band were always seeking funds, it was worth it.

[@robinwatson4282]

Good job keeping that covered up - must have been tricky if they both wanted to take you to the same Enid concert.

[@Danni100]

@@robinwatson4282 Ha Ha, he became my husband 🤣

[@paulsheldon4057]

Love prog totally belongs to the British isles 🇬🇧💙

[@BaddaBigBoom]

I remember seeing them for the first time at the Hammy Odeon, must have been around 1985, great gig, I remember getting a personalised cassette recording of the gig through the post shortly afterwards :-)

[@robinwatson4282]

Was the cassette thing a one off affair or did they provide this service at other gigs? I'd be interested to hear from people that still have examples!

[@michaeljones6948]

Brilliant piece of work from a superb musician and composer

[@digitaldogs233]

Max is amazing to watch on stage, guy can put ya into a trance. awesome band,. Corn exchange 1982 I think, long time ago lol..STOP THE WORLD was support..

[@houseofmagicuk1]

sublime work

[@animaltatz]

seen these guys a few time.Best one ever was at stone henge in 84 tho....What a gig, What a vibe :)

[@JohnSiddique]

animaltatz was also at Stonehenge 84... and yes what a thing that was... The Enid show was blistering.. and hawkwind were incredible that night... good to have been in that field with you when festivals were free.

[@lesleyleyland9812]

Can someone confirm for me if this would have been the group my friend would have seen live in Torquay about 1978 ?

[@ianbillyeardley2683]

This is a live recording filmed at The Maltings, Farnham, UK in 2011. The camera remains on Robert (keyboards) because the film crew needed live footage of him for another project they were working on. Max Read (vocal / keys / guitar) is not in shot. It was recorded at sound check and also the live show. The audio was later mixed at the band's studio

[@digitaldogs233]

Ian Billy Eardley He is abit..but I was wondering why he's not in sink visually, so thanks for that bit of info, makes sence now.

[@johnmichaelrichards]

Divine!

[@onlymejules]

Rock Gods!!

[@joannanoel4757]

Very special band......

[@DW19_95]

great song !

[@Ifyoudonttakeitucantfakeit]

I should have got into this band ages ago. Please can someone recommend an album to help an avid Marillion, Pendragon fan get this matter sorted out? Thank 👍

[@theloner6063]

In The Region of the Summer Stars, Aerie Faerie Nonsense, Six Pieces, Journey's End and 'U' ( new album)

[@michaeljones6948]

nowtleft2 something wicked this way comes. The spell

[@abdallateefschannel6206]

Yes. In the region of summer stars and Something wicked are the two classics. Aerie faerie nonsense centred on the song Fand is neo classical, as is Six pieces, like 6 chamber pieces. And then the spell is really full on classical/tone poems. Salome was experimenting with ballet, avant-garde/classical. Try to get old recordings. As an old hippy i prefer them cos they capture the era, free festivals , communal living

[@katemurphy1915]

Very unfortunately, You Tube won’t let me subscribe to your channel; thank you for the upload!!!...

[@MrSunrise3]

Saw them at stonehenge 84 as well

[@katemurphy1915]

You Tube still won’t let me subscribe to this channel; I apologize for complaining.

[@v6200man]

Never tire of this song and its message is as poignant now if not more so than when I saw the band play it ive at Derby Playhouse when the album came out

[@jesuscarpinteromendivil5734]

¡ belleza ¡

[@porkypaul67]

the enid !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheGraeme41]

[@theLukedishwasher]

At 3:28 Robert changes the channel - but should he be watching TV at all? You decide.

[@littleacornslandscapes2935]

Claret Hall Farm 1984.HHmmm

[@laffdailysugar]

Stonehenge 84 ... smiley mushrooms : ()

[@27horses231]

Did you see Mournblade there too?

[@TheLastOilMan]

Bath UNI 76 ..any one better that ?

[@markrae1317]

Who's singing? It certainly isn't RJG...

[@mutleyeng]

who else remembers em stealing the show at Reading 1983

[@cavalierzmr]

On tape mostly :(

[@beamsinvestigations1986]

I'm not trolling when I say this, (and I used to really like The Enid and attend many of their concerts), but RJG's stuff is beginning to sound very old fashioned to my ears now: It must be because I've moved on, and my discerning musical tastes now demand something far more satisfying. Having said all of that, I possess most of The Enid's early material in my collection, and will still listen to it on the odd occasion - Journey's End though was a tad disappointing I thought.

[@schragemusik]

Are you suggesting that those who still like RJG's music have less 'discerning musical tastes'?

[@abdallateefschannel6206]

I got into the enid 84-85. Its clear The Enid died in the late 70s. The spell and salome were very intersting Rjg albums. Then on is nostalgia. Half an hour in the jungle was interesting as a separate project. In my opinion of course

[@aquadorian4673]

I respectfully disagree. You say "old fashioned". On that basis, Shakespeare and Rembrandt are to be ignored. I say no. To be old is not to be worse. As one of my lecturers at music college used to say, the arts are a procession, not (necessarily) a progression. (Discuss!!) . And when you think about it, the influences aren't necessarily progressed either. Some of the things that influenced the past are no longer around to influence us now, so the music written now isn't necessarily 'better' than what was written earlier.

[@todmick]
