[@garygrimmett7945]

[@darrenmello89]

probably the most under rated and best band to come out of the 80s in Liverpool

[@Bends95]

Such talented gents..especially Chris Sharrock saw him play with Oasis 10 years ago!

[@lfcphil09]

Never forget this appearance on The Tube . Still love this song today. Many thanks for the post.

[@johnbarry1965]

Still love their first album xxx

[@BayleyWoodOfficial]

20 years ahead of their time....before jangly guitars were all the rage ..live they were mostly epic good or occasionally a car crash but always brilliant...

[@pipeandslippersman]

thanks so much for putting this up! been looking for ages for the whole clip. my first exposure to this criminally underrated group / bloke. what a singer - lovely scott walker tinge. what a songwriter - the middle 8 in 'love is a wonderful colour' is to die for...

When in the winter of our discontent We found a way To tie a bond between our hearts In the open field should there we lay Found a sharp stone, found a big tree Found a clear space in the bark Laughing louder chance a fine thing Moving slowly off the mark Out of season given reason Could we see inclement weather? Will you want me as I want you as you are? The autumn is the finest time, the finest of them all Will you need me as I need you as I did? As I always should've done, tell me when we're there Not too long and not too far My dreams and I were wondering If we harbor, if we labor Sweet the fruit that fortune brings Who will help us through these cold years? Could I glimpse a rising sun? Will you want me as I want you as you are? The autumn is the finest time, the finest of them all Will you need me as I need you as I did? As I always should've done, tell me when we're there Will you love me as I love you constantly? Wasted in the downpour Whatever we believe, whatever we believe Take them under, take them over Crack the bullwhip, chop the tree

[@paulgigsy8615]

Andy Warren from Crosby band Islands of Dance (later called I-Lands) comes on to play acoustic and keyboards on LIAWC

[@johnbarry1965]

Have wondered who he was ever since first watching this!!

[@JB-zz5jt]

I loved Islands of dance. Saw them many times.

[@Lucasrainford]

Totally underrated band.

[@JohnFoxxItalia]

Brilliant. Many thanks.

[@simfaithguitar1]

"Dude! Stop throwing @#$% on my gear! I'm trying to play this song!". (Lol)

[@MathHammer]

Does anyone know what tuning Ian McNabb used on his Rickenbacker 12 string? He is playing open chords.

[@Nextlitic]

What a sad bunch of limp vegetables the crowd, no dancing? No singing? Great song, great band.

[@marcusbirts0156]

Mores to the point G K-W, the unknown Spanish guitarist, why didn’t he play keyboard on chop the tree? Would have allowed Boots to do his stuff on guitar. Great footage though..

[@user-we4xc1uc1x]

Great tune, great to see. Who's the guy playing keyboard and guitar?

[@robertoestebanmoreno6996]

Ian Mcnabb...

[@user-we4xc1uc1x]

@@robertoestebanmoreno6996 nah, the other guy at from about 4.35

[@robertoc2485]

An old friend of mine - Andy Warren who was in a band from Liverpool called Islands or Islands of Dance.

[@pottopissin1222]

The tube

[@thesound-chameleonman3580]

[@tasossaros8375]
