blimey 6 CDs! Including a live version of the crystal ship...I love that song. No LA Woman or strange days though, my other favs

 

Pretty sure they only played LA Woman twice, Jims last 2 gigs. Both were shambolic apparently.

 

LA Woman was only brand new work in progress then. Hadn't even been anywhere near recorded at that stage.

With all the recent high profile deaths, this one had completely passed me by.

Dan Hicks

Definitely deserves to be in this Legends thread even if most people probably have no idea who he is. So glad I saw him live at WOMAD back in 2003 on a rare UK visit.

are you not familiar with the Cardiacs? You've missed out big time.

 

They're quite possibly the most original and inventive British band of the eighties. If you can find it I recommend you track down their tape that's (I think) called 'A little man and a house and the whole world window' 'The Seaside'.

 

I saw them absolutely loads of times - the first few times they looked and acted very much like they do in that video. It's the only time I've seen a band and had difficulty believing that the madness on stage was just an act and wasn't the result of insanity. :lol:

 

They were an absolutely superb band. It's sad that Tim (the singer) has been seriously ill for a few years following a stroke. :(

A benefit show for Tim, in Preston, Saturday, 16 Jul 2016
