Hail to Renzo Arbore, Gegè Telesforo and Monica Nannini, the three hosts and ideators of "D.O.C." (name of the Italian show where Tuxedomoon played in this video); we owe them a lot. Still need a TV show like this nowadays. So much.

[@ScottishTeeVee]

Thankfully many recordings from D.O.C still exist,I have many that I have not shared yet. Thank you for watching and commenting

RIP to one of the most amazing bassists to ever play the instrument. Peter Principle.

[@davidbauer1260]

Yes buck, you sure got that right! This is the best I've personally ever seen, and absolutely one of the very best I've ever heard. They were definitely feeling it that night, and they were definitely ON! I believe the drummer was Paul Zahl, they always benefited with him in the line-up, esp. live.

[@williamrodgers-g8r]

exactly!!

[@ginaiannicolaianni9998]

I was super shocked at the news that one of my favorite bands at the time would be on live TV I prepared the videotape and recorded it. The same year the tuxedos played in my city at the theater and at the Brown auditorium with songs by Tenco! Beautiful. And then together with Reininger...... Unforgettable period full of musical events. Great

[@maxconte5596]

Some authentic geniuses that joining together formed the best band of the end 70-80s. Volo Vivace !

Thank you for improving civilization with this post of Tuxedomoon, one of the most criminally under-rated bands in history, along with these below: Gun Club (or Jeffrey Lee Pierce), Flipper, Factrix, Joy Division, Christian Death with Rozz Williams, The Screamers, Hans Joachim Roedelius, The Bags or Alice Bag Band, The Weirdos, 45 Grave, The Centimeters, The Fall, PiL ( with K. Levene), Bad Brains.

[@ScottishTeeVee]

I am glad you found and enjoyed this video Jason. I know all the other bands you mentioned except Factrix and Hans Joachim Roedelius, I will look into them.🙂

[@jasonlynn1017]

@@ScottishTeeVee Factrix is on the Live At Target 1980 video compilation, also the LP Schientot, also the CD of Factrix. They came up with Flipper and Tuxedo Moon and performed with the Nihilist performance artist Mark Pauline and his Survival Research Lab; Roedelius founded the Kraut rock band Kluster, then Cluster, then with Brian Eno, Harmonia, then went solo, and from the solo era I think the albums LA Nordica, and Sinfonia, are among his best. He set my poems to music in 2006 on a CD titled Act Of Love.

Madonna pensare che la Rai trasmetteva certe cose! E ora come siamo caduti in basso! Grandi Tuxedomoon, so che erano molto amati in Italia e con l'Italia avevano un rapporto speciale. Per fortuna ho fatto in tempo a vederli almeno una volta live poco prima della morte di Peter Principle al Tenax di Firenze, poi non ci sono piu' stati concerti

[@ludovicodiberardino8453]

Sai per caso come si chiami il programma televisivo?

[@trillyblack531]

​​@@ludovicodiberardino8453 No, non ne ho idea, ho scoperto questo video live qui e in quegli anni ancora nemmeno ero nata! Ma presumo forse erano ospiti da Doc di Renzo Arbore o in qualche altro programma musicale, all'epoca li facevano e davano spazio a piu' generi a quanto mi dicono e anche alla qualita'. I Tuxedomoon li ho scoperti anni fa grazie ad un programma a radio 3 che gli aveva dedicato un tributo e me ne innamorai subito.

[@ludovicodiberardino8453]

@@trillyblack531 Grazie!

[@agostinomanduchi1904]

@@trillyblack531 Si il programma si chiamava "D.O.C. : Musica e altro a denominazione d'origine controllata" ed era condotto da Monica Nannini e Gegè Telesforo, Renzo Arbore era uno degli autori e ogni tanto interveniva in studio (c'è anche un articolo su Wikipedia). In effetti oggi una trasmissione come quella sarebbe inconcepibile, credo per tanti motivi.

[@genus.family]

Si tornava da scuola giusto in tempo per DOC! David Sylvian, Tuxedomoon, e altri mostri sacri della bellezza. A quell'epoca la Rai con noi era davvero mamma rai. Oggi, una prece, sic.

[@giuseppepettinati9627]

at that time Italian television used to host avant-garde (now "post punk") bands. unfortunately, in these shows the performance didn't last more than 10 minutes, so, that's it :( if you didn't check them yet, look for CCCP (punk/ post punk Italian band during the 80s - 90s) 😊

[@federicosecondo7062]

Documento eccezionale! Non sapevo di questa esibizione prima d'ora, è davvero straordinaria! Ho assistito a 3 o forse 4 concerti, dall'anno 2000 in avanti, di questa indimenticabile band ed stato sempre suggestivo ed emozionante. Questa esibizione è davvero energica, intensa e soprattutto preziosa... Grazie infinite per questa generosa condivisione! 👍😑💯
