Toyah - Neon Womb (Rockpop, 05.01.1980)

[@notfooledbybreadorcircus]

sheep farming in barnet, the best of toyah in my opinion. As i spelled out on the Safari posting of the full album, Toyah was a huge part of my life around the time of 79 -81 from seeing her on Shoestring , she looked and sounded like nobody i had seen at that point and always will hold a special place in my life

[@2525Hudson]

Fantastic to see all these early performances, brings back fond memories of being a late teenager and not having a care in the world............ youth is wasted on the young 😀 i did'nt know how lucky i was.

[@Rosco1973]

Love Toyah, punk, rock and pop all rolled into one, she's so gorgeous also , her sexy lisp adds so much to her originality ❤

[@lb2.0.45]

40 years later and still has the same energy.

[@ManzoStefanin]

even more

[@Gregzorbazgoda]

Yes,she is amazing😍

[@rosshaywood8206]

Thanks,Shoestring

[@Vanitasmortedigital]

So great to see these early TV peformances,reminds me why I'm a life long Toyah fan,Neon womb is a great live track

[@lazarusheart1969]

I love how the band understand the absolute futility of trying to mime to "Neon Womb" so just go for all-out madness!

[@ricwashington8195]

Toyah, I now get it. Thank you!

[@trevorbennett5885]

Fantastic energy, Toyah at her best

[@ianjames1179]

I saw the band 10 times, The Brighton center was my first gig they did Sheep farming which has always been my favourite album. Seen them in Manchester, Birmingham and six times in London. I'm 62 too. Love you Toyah xx

Excellent Toyah !! 🎤🎸

[@andrewkent4913]

Exquisite. Raised the spirits on a Tier 3 morning! Thanks for sharing it!

[@marmaladeatkins]

That’s a very energetic performance from everyone, compared to what we usually see in TV shows from musicians and bands. Love that!

[@Shining_Whit]

Saw her back in the early 80's in Brum. She kept this up for the whole show! I swear I have never seen so much energy in such a wee package!

[@Robskicamden]

Wow that is an amazing performance, punk lives 🙏🏻

[@dukesofhell]

Fantastic. Took me back 40 years. I can even recall the smells.

I wish Toyah had broke through in America. We missed out on this unique and energetic talent.

Bands of today, can't touch our Toyah, she was 👉ELECTRIC 👈👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@sunsetshadows4577]

IS, electric. She is a powerful energy still today!

[@EugeneLorey]

So epic, tears in my eyes.

[@jreagle58]

Funny, never heard of her before her and hubby Robert Fripp started doing their videos together. I guess she didn't catch on here in the States. I must say she is more lovely now.

[@rmanpojo8485]

so true lovely lady now... but singing ......?

[@jreagle58]

@@rmanpojo8485 as for the singing, based on the height of her career I would say it's just a matter of taste. Toyah's mark was obviously the performance.

I think she's more famous in UK, even here in Italy never heard, I feel I've lost a lot ☹

Great way to start the 1980s.

[@geoffreycarson2311]

UNIQUE Performer And FAR SUPPIRIOR !!!to Anything AVANT GUARD !!!today HAIL TOYAH !!! 😘g

[@ruedigernassauer]

German here: Please excuse my fellow citizens just sitting to watch. Entertainment was like this then.

[@JeffreyTheTaylor]

The hysterical thing is that Toyah, in historical context, is the heir to Roxy, Bowie, and Peter Gabriel much more than the punk ethos she always championed. I think the punk mindset gave her the courage to go off in the direction she went, but that direction was several rungs above the DIY punk esthetic. These were real bands performing real songs she fronted. Past time she gets her due credit for being a phenomenal rock front woman.

[@AlanKRiley]

loved it :)

[@bartonim]

Wow! I almost forgot how much of a scorcher this is. I first discovered Toyah through Anthem, and backtracked to this. The remaster of Sheep Farming is fantastic, by the way!

[@Bleeding999]

[@eddiewillers1]

The history of English rock acts appearing on German TV fascinates me. I wonder if Toyah's look is what inspired Anja Huwe and her friends in Hamburg?

[@weedo3]

Bass line has a real Black Sabbath vibe

[@andycuthbert2763]

My favourite Toyah song I think-we don’t produce stuff like this anymore unfortunately in the UK.Adele/Sheeran v Toyah or Kate Bush?

The girl Robert Fripp took home to meet mum.

It's incredible the influence that Siouxsie Sioux had in those days. Great performance tho

I didn't say copied, i'm talking about artistic influence, for instance we wouldn't probably have Siouxsie and the Banshees without Roxy Music or NeU

[@marmaladeatkins]

Didn’t the Barron Knights or Russ Abbott do a performance where they basically took the Mickey and pretended to be you? Something about rubber chickens in the song.

Wasn't that Spitting Image in the 80's with the chicken song? 💪💜🤣🤩x

@@joharris7972 lol no, definitely had a blue background and it was a generic take off of female pop singers of the day generally about high voices, I think.

Pity it was lip-sync.. the band then, and Toyah now put on such a great live show it wasn’t needed .. but that’s what TV shows did at that time

Move over all you new wave bands TOYAH. is here.

[@TheMidnightModder]

So this is what Stevie Ray Vaughan was up against and not much different from what I'm up against. Yeah, I'll be fine 😂 (This is great, though)

[@yuribartman]

her teeth was really bad back then. 40 years later, on the cover of 'Sensational' Mrs Fripp looks a lot more glamourous and her teeth looks sensational
