The Archdrude’s 1995 shows spilled out over three hours: scores of songs, and different every night. Here’s a fabulous extract from Cope’s uproarious Glasgow show at the legendary Barrowlands dancehall – this raging hi-fi performance was recorded directly from the sound desk, then distilled into 69 sexy minutes of Glaswegian free-for-all. Thighpaulsandra’s only tour with Cope added a colossal orchestration even to rock standards such as ‘World Shut Your Mouth’ and ‘Reynard the Fox’, his Mellotron and Moogs herein caught at their temperamental finest; his superb harmony vocals also inspiring bassist K-R Frost and guitarist Mike Mooneye to rare heights.
