Thanks for welcome.
Yes, they are a great band.
I was listening to their new album and it hasn't quite grabbed me yet and I was drawn back to their previous work.
I've been listening to that particular song most of the afternoon.its fantastic.
I will make sure I keep my posts to one a day maximum too.

This could just as easily be on the covers thread, quality version of a Paul Simon classic

Epic is the very apt description for when I saw Faith No More at Wembley Stadium supporting Guns'n Roses back in 1991(i think). Mike Patton was off his tits on 'something', at one point he jumped on to one the large screens at the side of the stage and started rocking it almost getting it to topple over. He then did a forward somersault and landed flat on his back on the stage, which would have knocked the wind out of most people, but he just kept on singing, as I said 'Epic'.

I hadn’t heard this for at least 20 years, nice to hear it again

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Quite like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_XvKcLxj6I&list=RDMM&index=2

Love the shots of the very boring looking chap in the next row who clearly doesn’t get it!

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Or this so iconic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTG7-qaStnI&list=RDMM&index=2

Only those of us of a certain age will appreciate this - the joys of Caroline, London, the dodgy Luxembourg signal et al

 

[half time scores]

Great extended version of this classic

Without wishing to turn this excellent thread in to a political one, I'd like to post two versions of Strange Fruit, first sung my Billie Holiday, and the version I'm familiar with by UB40. I was doing a crossword and whilst researching to help me with an answer I came across an article about Billie Holiday where I learned of her original version.
After reading the Wikipedia page of Strange Fruit, I had to listen to the two versions and heard them in a completely different light now understanding the origin of the lyrics.


Have a listen to the Robery Wyatt's version. I won't break thread rules on this occasion and post it. It is quite something.

And, yes, a stunning and shocking song.

Robert Wyatt's version is more like the UB40 version, so I guess that's where the musical likeness comes from?

To me music is about emotion , the UB40 music destroys the emotion of the lyrics , Billie sang it as she felt it, probably seen enough first hand....
