Tuxedomoon Live 1984 (Full, High Sound Quality)

[@severinglaciel5624]

I saw them in Tel-Aviv at Heichal HaTarbut on 6.11.1985. I didn't know even one line of this band's music but I was fascinated, and they became one of my highest favorits. Because of high demand another concert was added at the Tel-Aviv Museum where I was working at the time in the art and book shop. All the day through I heard their rehearsal!!! Sometimes went in to see them perform. At one point Bruce Geduldig entered the shop. I gathered all my courage to start up a conversation with him and we spoke for at least 20 minutes. At the end I bought for him and me an art album on Morris Louis (Bernstein) in the form of an envelope containing copies of his abstract paintings. On one of them Bruce signed and added my name, the date, place and the words "Sweet dreams". I still have it framed on the wall.

That's a cool story!

I had the pleasure to be around this music in Brussels late 1979 and 1980...82. They were very popular in the city.

[@oliveo7336]

As popular as Minimal Compact

[@stiggron5214]

One of the best things that reached my ears in the earlt 80s. In Oslo 82 at the opera they where great. Love them and allways will. Thanks for this shere.

you were born in the image of god himself. thank you so much for the track list!

[@goranl2316]

The title is "hugging the Earth"

[@ToryZStarbuck]

What a great, theatrical performance by a group of really imaginative artists that are as good musically as they are performance artists. That 1978-1988 phase sure had a lot of self invented New Wave magic in it. I do not know if Bowie and Eno knew just how influential they were going to end up but from Ultravox to Bauhaus to Tuxedomoon there was such a great world of Modern Art out there.

[@niclawson1520]

They pre-dated Ultravox and Bauhaus.

[@ToryZStarbuck]

@@niclawson1520 Oh, I did not mean anything about what order the bands came in when I listed them. Yes, Tuxedomoon formed 1 year before the band Bauhaus but the original Ultravox! with John Foxx started in 1974. Chrome and The Residents, Pere Ubu and Suicide were other bands that shared that magic that Tuxedomoon had in this time period.

[@goranl2316]

When Brian Eno for the first time heard Tuxedomoon live, apparently his only comment was "Well, dr Sax never perfected his invention, did he? Excuse me, I have to pee".

[@profd65]

It's not like David Bowie and Brian Eno were the only important musicians in the '70s, ffs, or that it was a very easy and natural step from Brian Eno to Tuxedomoon.

[@MarioSalimon]

@@ToryZStarbuck the very prolific post-punk era. I'm having a great time reading a whole book about those days: Rip it Up and Start Again by Simon Reynolds.

So many years ago, so many nights This band was, and still is different from everything. I remember when I met Steven Brown at a party after a gig, I asked him how The Residents look like He just replied 'they're very ugly' jajajaja

[@dasist3321]

Words fail. So astounding on so many fronts. Have loved them since I randomly bought 'no tears' 12" in 1981/2.

[@AndrewWells]

We were all super lucky to be in this little city in the early 80s... the city had a huge cast of characters, but there was something about the tonality and character of these records and shows that drilled into the heart of the experience... I forget this music for decades but then can never really forget it

Ух,помню тот день ,когда купил их СД диски ,и залёг на пол ночи в наушники KOSS и....выпал в СЮреальность! Еле выбрался ... Не выспавшись.

[@carmelo6227]

This comes probably from a Spanish Tv program from the 1980's La Edad de Oro (The Golden Age). The best bands of the 1980's performed live there.

[@dasist3321]

Sam Brown looked so amazing when he had long hair and septum piercing. Loved this look too esp Winston with his make up. Very moody, smoky Weimar cabaret. . .so cool. Shit, these guys have been so ahead of their time since '78'.

Got to see them in the late 1970's i San Francisco at the Mabuhay Gardens Hated to see them go to Europe but it was good for them and for the music world.

[@paolippe]

Incredible performance. Great AUDIO!

For a 1979 San Francisco performance check this out. audio only look up "Tuxedo Moon Boarding House"

[@valeriolaghi7014]

I remember a tour in Italy very similar,I was so close to the stage, as I was on the stage, same light effects but different songs, I remenber they play Desire but not the year, anyway Great show!

[@JulieWith]

Love them so much!

Vus 4 fois live entre 81 et 88. Le sourire en coin de Peter Principle et sa basse SG Gibson

[@alb1908]

...questo non è un live del 1984 ma una replica più breve della performance del 25 maggio 1983 registrata a Madrid.L'ottimo trombettista olandese Luc Van Lieshout era in formazione solo da un mese in sostituzione del cofondatore BL Reininger ma gia' integrato benissimo nelle dinamiche dell'ensemble.Queste canzoni trovarono la via del disco solo nel 1985 in Holy Wars,una delle loro migliori pubblicazioni nonostante non fosse presente appunto lo storico violinista.Gruppi così non ne nascono più...

[@arddermout6946]

Sounds like a fretless bass to me

[@deathmetaldouglas69]

@@fvazquez64 AKA Peter Dachert. RIP 1954-2017.

[@deathmetaldouglas69]

@@arddermout6946 Not a fretless. An old fretted SG and I've never known him to play fretless up until this point. Been a fan since not too long after this concert was filmed. Sort of a late bloomer to them actually. Blaine and Steve still on board amazingly enough. Know all their early stuff from their EPs, comp tunes to their first 2 LPs. Ten albums after that and I've got quite a lot of catching up to do!!

[@dasist3321]

Cant remember if it was Paris, Bruxulles or Nice where I saw them but was a tour very similar to this. I remember you cld buy bits of the artwork climgfilm as merch and was given a piece by Sam.

[@TheSecondNature]

goes to show how great a Gibson bass can be. horribly overlooked

[@maxinemckenzie5765]

Yeah it's still got that Jack Bruce sound to it, cos he popularised the use of the EB3 from 1967 onwards.

Frigging hell. Are the audience dead from the neck up? Are they aware as to what they are seeing and listening to?

[@anodyne57]

"Conscious uncoupling" (hehe...)....As strange as it seems today...it was a very intentional thing-to show attentiveness, and to not lose composure as an audience member. A bit of respect for the performers and for themselves. And musicians were not surprised at or disappointed by it.

[@rogerferns5511]

First song is 'Hugging The Earth'. Art, shmart - the audience need some mood enhancers and low-brow dancing shoes
