Did someone mention Stool Pidgeon ?
Kid Creole & Coconuts
If you love August Darnell and his music.....and you want to hear some of the grooviest trombone playing.....here is their best performance of 'Don't take my Coconuts'
HERE
Turn the sound up on 'Full Screen' and hear another wild trombone at 7min30sec mark.

I agree Marty that one had to see them 'live' to really appreciate them? In fact the 4 albums I have of them are sightly disappointing in 'sound' and atmasphere. Here is another clip from that same tour in 1982 Looove those sexy Coconuts :-) |
And another clip |
I would have loved to have seen them in NYC but never did :-( I can't understand how they managed to pay for all their performers?....the Coconuts, a brass section as well as a percussion and rhythm section? You'd have to play to an audience of thousands every time....or go bust? Maybe everyone just plays for 'love'? |
Yes....that's a good one Mrmitch. 'Particul'y Int'rested'.......'Name It' :-) 'Fresh Fruit in Foreign Places' is also great on vinyl. 'Private Waters in the Great Divide' however is disappointing. And 'The Best Of Kid Creole & the Coconuts' has inferior sonics to the original albums. Must try some of Marty's recommendations...... |
I just bought the 3 DVD Set of Kid Creole and the Coconuts. DVD 1 is the 1982 London Concert (which is my favourite of all the performances I have seen). DVD 2 is the 1985 Paris Concert which is also great whilst DVD 3 is a compilation of all known music videos and TV performances. This is a set for the true believers of Darnell and the best backing musicians you're likely to see?.........and don't get me started on the Coconuts.....:-) |
A lot can happen in 8 years thanks to the Internet and YouTube.......The world is rediscovering Kid Creole and the Coconuts!!!! 😍 2010 PERFORMANCE And August is ageless...... |
