Like tiny boats with cotton sails

XTC performing "Yacht Dance" on the Old Grey Whistle Test in Jan 1982. This was the only time the band ever played this song live.

I love this performance (the whole Whistle Test set is great) -- it really shows what made XTC such a distinctive and original band. It reminds me of the progressive folk-rock bands from a decade earlier like Trees and The Strawbs combined with some of that post-punk reggae influence.
