The Go Betweens - The House Jack Kerouac Built

[@Hruundi]

To fans of this band, please realize how lucky you are to have this great footage available like this, of what is one of their top songs for sure. An album version or video if this song would be great to see on here too. This band remains largely unknown, and I feel prievalged to have discovered them as a teenager, when they were releasing this music. Unbelievably influential and creative music these guys created.

[@dee_seejay]

And never too late to discover them, honestly this music stands the test of time 💙

[@monklingtoneverjet2536]

I am SO grateful to be alive listening and watching this level of A R T

[@TheBalthus1]

Timeless. This is my favorite song from this truly great band. The tune in the end is haunting!!!

[@theselector4733]

Great song. The way he sings it and the general vibe/sound of this track is very reminiscent of Echo and The Bunnymen.

[@manda975]

The beauty of this song has slowly but surely dawned on me.

[@HaleG9]

I would have loved to se them live at least once...

[@Spectrescup]

I knew Robert at the time, so was blessed to see them at secret gigs in pubs like the late lamented New Merlins Cave.

This song is the best performance of a song, I have EVER seen. SM... We had it so good.

[@PeterSuchecki]

This was one song from the ABC Australia show called Rock Arena, it was a whole set of about 10 songs. It was an amazing performance, I wish I still had the VHS recording.

[@deborahvoigt581]

I still have it Peter. Yes was a great set from the band.

[@PeterSuchecki]

Any chance you can put it on you tube? I love the bit where Grant walks through the audience during ... song.

[@Brando64]

During Cattle & Cane, of course! Here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGWmiIBmns-epc0

[@O18134]

Happy birthday, Jack Kerouac!

[@amazinghybrid]

@stankler reminds me of Echo and the Bunnymen a lot more than the Smiths; IMO. Love it all!

[@antiguoautomata]

[@akis723]

[@amazinghybrid]

@stankler reminds me of Echo and the Bunnymen even more than the Smiths... just my opinion of course. Love it all.

[@rattyvee]

oh please !

[@Lieu3C4]

One assumes that in the house that Mr.Kerouac built there were only corridors and the propensities of the lady with the violin were well known to Msrs of her acquaintence and if she did it one mor etime.

[@Brando64]

My absolute favourite Robert Forster moment. From the great Rock Arena gig aired on Tuesday, September 8th, 1987, which I taped back in the day, but no longer have. Here it is for the completists: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGWmiIBmns-epc0

[@whsonic]

when was this recorded? Robert with bleached hair, Amanda on violin..?

[@dofane]

I was tripping on Tripe at the time ....eh eh!!

[@MrPharmacist1982]

Id guess '87

[@KevKavanagh]

It's a TV audience in a TV studio for a TV program of the time. It wasn't filmed at a GoBs gig in front of eager punters who'd paid to be there. Big difference.

[@Spectrescup]

It was as the Astoria and it was packed. Almost certainly sold out, in fact.

[@hellotheo]

he is not

[@Cotdail]

He couldn't be, merely by account that there's only one gay in the village, a spot already claimed.

[@honkytonk25]

Painful!
