Birth Control looked eternally unfashionable!
More glimpses of the Bird, here at 01:44:
With in effect two drummers, there was always something going on percussion-wise in their music. First Bernd Noske (their original drummer turned singer) duels with Manni von Bohr (the "sitting" drummer), then around 3:38 Bernd walks down the multi-level stage for some vibraphone/keyboard interplay with Zeus B Held. That is actually quite impressive - and precise. (Hey, even middle-aged Canadian punk drummers-turned-bassists seem to dig it, what greater accolade could there be?!)
And all the while Horst Stachelhaus' natural Bicentennial very prominent and busy in the mix. That gig is from 1977, he can't have had the Bicentennial for long then and was obviously endeared by it. He had a penchant for maho neck-thru basses, the successor to the Bird would be an Ovation Magnum I.
Stachelhaus was editor-in-chief of German muso mag
Fachblatt, so getting his hands on new musical product was no issue for him.
