Coil – A Cold Cell – Hamburg 2002 [AUD #1]

Coil A Cold Cell Live at Fabrik, Hamburg, Germany April 10, 2002 Feeling: Reflective John Balance introduces the band to the audience before the song. It’s the first time he refers to himself as “Angie Bowie“ onstage. AUD #1 Taper: Unknown Quality: 8/10 Complete: Yes Length: 80 min Lowest Gen: M?, 160 kbps MP3 “Backwards / The Remote Viewer” phase. “Anarcadia“ tour. John introducing “A Cold Cell“: “Uh, Coil tonight are Simon ‘Ossian’ Norris on keyboards, and our hurdy-gurdy player is Cliff Stapleton, Mike, Michael York on the Breton bagpipes, and someone who used to be in a band or two that you may know, uh, Sleazy Peter “Sleazy” Christopherson, and I am Angie Bowie, tonight. I am Angie Bowie. Couldn’t you tell the moment I walked on? This song actually is very serious. In fact, it’s about people in prisons in particular in Azerbaijan, from the video, and about people in prisons everywhere, and Flora.” This is one of only two times I know of where John meticulously introduced every member of Coil live. Angie Bowie was the wife of David Bowie, who was famous in her own right for costume work, modeling, writing/reporting, and open bisexuality. John eventually added the lyric “I am Angie Bowie, no!” to the song “Sine Waves,” in effect also changing the name of that song to “I Am Angie Bowie (Sine Waves)”! John introducing “Paranoid Inlay“: “This next song is about the malice contained within inanimate objects, and it’s dedicated to two people, one of which is Jim is, uh, Jim Woodring, who is a fantastic cartoonist living in America and I recommend you seek his work out. That’s Jim Woodring, and it’s also for his wife Mary.” Woodring is currently still alive and is most famous for his magazine Jim and anthropomorphic cartoon character Frank.
