XTC, 34 Years Ago

[tinhuvielartanis]

It boggles my mind that this footage still exists, and in such excellent shape. Here's a very young XTC performing songs on French television. The footage is circa 1978 and features a very young Andrews on a very abused saxophone. Andy Partridge is already exhibiting what a brilliant individual he would later on become. I needn't say that about Andrews.

XTC is one of my big faves, and one other of the writers here is also a huge XTC fan...

I sing '1000 umbrellas' to myself at least once a week. We're all light, Summer's Cauldron, Grass, Earn Enough for Us, Senses working overtime, and my personal fave 'another satellite'

Whooooaaaa! 'Another Satellite' is my favourite of theirs. And 'My Bird Performs.' That is just a ridiculously lovely song.
