What's the best you tube clips or links for live music from the Bete Noire era.
Apart from accessing this site during breaks, I don't do IT/Internet outside of work (I'd get sacked) and don't have access to You Tube etc., so can't really respond Angel Eyes.
What I would say is New Town was a fab dvd (albeit the show was a year after the Bete Noire album), and Limbo was a great video; I love the pictorial references to Warm Jets-era Eno and the beautiful Josephine Baker.
I have a conspiracy-type theory however; I think Bryan had his worst haircut ever in the Kiss and Tell and Limbo videos, and I also think he'd piled on the weight living it up in Paris, that's why he "hides" in much of the Limbo video. And the shoulder-padded Right Stuff video jacket hid a few inches too I reckon.
Conversely, I thought he was at his handsomest in the Is Your Love Strong Enough video. Pity about the outfit!
