Here's the first show of the supplemental box set TG+. I'm thinking if I alternate between TG 24 and TG+ it will be more interesting than a bunch of possibly similar shows in a row. Found a little description of the show by Chris "Flatline":
==================================
IRCD30
Oundle Public School. 16th March 1980.
Binaural Stereo.
A boarder had convinced his music teacher to book TG, who apparently sounded like John Cage. Audience consisted almost entirely of boys aged between 8 and 16. The gig was recorded by Stan Bingo and released by Industrial Videos as Throbbing Gristle Live at Oundle School. Supported by Monte Cazazza.
Track One (29'30")
00'00" Introduction
01'28" Cornets
06'20" An Old Man Smiled
14'20" Subhumans
18'46" Heathen Earth "When's the music?"
26'57" Something Came Over Me
Track Two (27'56")
00'00" Something Came Over Me (cont.) "...an awful lot of toilet rolls... have you all had a shit?"
04'10" The World is a War Film
09'40" 'Oundle Public Schoolboys- England is a Toilet'
11'00" Don't Do What You're Told, Do What You Think / Wall of Sound
21'51" (Performance ends) "Show us your legs!

TG playing for a crowd of rude British kids? Sign me up.
Binaural sound would explain the sound of these. I don't know if they were all recorded that way. We'll see.
Actually, I'm listening to it as I type and it's pretty awesome.

The video for this is a classic too - it's like a post-apocalyptic Carry On film. GPO gets right into gleefully smutty mode with the kids, which is a welcome diversion from the ritualistic darkness of the other 80-81 TG shows.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to my personal favourites - the Brighton Polytechnic shows, the Industrial Training College, the Berlin gig, and the chaos of the LA show...
