Coming into heavy rotation. It just makes me happy.
That filthy bass (synth-bass?).
It’s an awesome riff. But…is the guitarist…improvising or is he just not very good?

Literally forgot this song existed.

Me too. Contrary to the way these thing usually go, I thought the live album was far superior to the subsequent studio produced Listen Now.

Agree - I had Listen Now and did used to listen to it, but had honestly forgotten about it! Whereas I will never forget 801 Live.

I did also have the Eno albums Another Green World and Before and after Science, and really liked them.

Reason I posted the Beatles cover was @wimmera1 commenting on bass - I recently told a friend to give 801 Live a listen. He’s a bass player and he texted me ā€œthe bass playing on 801 Live is WILD!ā€

Here Come The Warm Jets would be in my all-time top ten albums. It’s superb.

Fits the brief and also on topic.

I legit went to the Satch gig because he was supporting.

Ah yeah that too. But that one really is in the haven’t listened for years basket!

Also, I love the drums on 801 Live - those drums and bass together are groove city (to me anyway). So I looked up 801 Live last night, and found that the drummer I knew nothing about was Simon Phillips (later Judas Priest etc), and he was 19 years old at the time of 801 Live, having taken up drums at 12.

Jeepers!
