This is a broadcast from 1989 where the current PCO band storm through set of popular numbers. I've done my best to clean up the video and have remastered the original mono audio to present it in its best form here.

Takes me back to my living room floor. I am 7. 8. 9. 10. I read books about knights, draw plans for castles, or play with my Lego/toy soldiers or cars while my sisters play with their things and my parents, still young and strong, drink wine and beer while they chat.. and in the background they play PCO, Mike Oldfield or other tunes and I wish I was that age again and being happy was not a rare treat but a day to day reality. Time moves fast and you don’t know how perfect those moments were until they have gone and you are old.

Same here . My father and mother both liked very good music and art in their own way . Inspiring me to make art and play guitar and drums at age 10 - Dad would watch NOVA on PBS and I would lay on the floor , chin propped up in hands …. Watching my Dad, watch TV.

Wow, well said....I just found these guys so I am so lucky. They do take me to that special part of life. When Malcolm came out(soundtrack by PCO) I was a child and that movie made me so happy.

I remember watching this at my uncle's house with my parents and cousins. I must have been about 9 or 10 years old...still listening and to the fabulous legacy Arthur Jeffes has taken on.

tengo grabado en casette de la radio ese concierto, que emitió trecet en Dialogos3, lástima que no exista una grabación decente de ese concierto espectacular

Music of my childhood. I remember at the age of 5 I loved the movie Malcolm, it's cool to watch a movie about the inventor, and since the soundtrack to the film was completely from the penguin cafe, it gave me a love for good music. thank you so much for sharing this video!

Best ambient music I've ever heard, real soul touching stuff, PCO forever! Not too dissimilar of the Kaoss Kontrol genre if anyone might like to make comparisons.

Decia Simon Jeffes, respecto al punk, que si el mundo estaba lleno de problemas añadir uno mas al mundo no arreglaba nada...aqui tenemos el verdadero compromiso con la belleza de su Penguin Cafe Orchestra, nunca perdonaremos a lo que corresponda que se lo llevase tan pronto!Esto es oro puro! Necesitamos más música como esta para buscar un mundo mejor! Gracias por compartir!

@peteruchiha1543 6 ай бұрын

no entiendo, o sea que despreciaba el punk?

@joseantonioalonsofernandez7758 6 ай бұрын

@@peteruchiha1543 no creo que lo despreciase, de hecho el hizo el arreglo de cuerdas para el My Way cantada por Syd Vicious, y en una entrevista de la RAI dice que la canción original era de una " autocomplacencia nauseabunda" y que la versión de Vicious era vibrante, enérgica y viva.

You're welcome - but you need to really thank The Missus who kindly recorded this for me all those years ago in 1989 as I didn't have a VHS recorder back then!

Love this music, great to see a live concert. Simon Jeffes seemed to be an extraordinary musician and interesting person. To sad he died so early.

This looks so similar to the concert I went to in prob 1989 (or 1990?), but it was at the Almeida Theatre. This staging looks so similar, I'm now wondering if it was filmed FOR the BBC, but AT the Almeida. If so, I was here. Then.

Ha, that's a weird coincidence - I just transferred my VHS off-air of this, after stumbling across the tape for the first time in years.

It is nice, isn't it. I was only curious if it was already kicking about on You Tube, and was just amused that it had cropped up a few hours before, that's all...just thought it a funny coincidence...er...dear. Great programme, I'd forgotten about the interview bits.

I’m sure it’s already out there, but my version is cleaned up and I’ve made the audio sound nice! 👍

Yes, and it's good to see the whole thing as well - it seems to have been just uploaded in clips before.

I always think its the funniest thing when someone pivot vibratos a long note on a muted ukalale type of string that doesnt hold the note long enough for vibrato to be heard. Lol
