dee vee dee
well it came back from the factory today
ready to ship tomorrow
my little dvd
i dunno if you ever see such a thing again
until jack frost ( in the not too distant future)
but here is LDCBAF
spinal tap you betcha
we are every cliche and then some
but when we rock we rock ferociously
has anyone in a band actually ever made a POV doco before?
just looking at 1990 is a trip
its jerky in places
but theres much more unjerky than jerky
theres some distortion on live sound
yet it still bloody well rocks
it gives you a real feeling of how it all felt
its intimate its stupid its poignant its dopey
its immature …!
all the contradictions in the church are all here
its a pity we didnt bring some our liveliness into the interviews
sometimes we are downright rude and silly
sometimes we pontificate like the world depends on it
we jump on n on on non that fucking bus
we check in in in in in in nin
we swear and laugh get tipsy n smoke dope
we play hard hitting shows
we get on fast planes to here n there
we turn up every night n do our gig
you’ll see some of the snakes n a few of the ladders
its a long way even to the middle let a lone the fucking top
sometimes the olde glamour wears a bit thin
now you decide….
and please
write your honest reviews in the comments below
(thats if you bought a digital download)
thank you for supporting this project
i believe its unique and you might find that its a bit of fun too
very much looking forwards to this
….’ere’s one straight from the factory’……:) Gonna get my download very soon!
really
Steve, I was one of your more devoted fans back in this era and came to see shows in SF, NYC and smaller shows in between.
I always appreciated that you sing in the same register as I, amongst the millions of bands with tenor vocalists. That and the complexity in the interplay between Peter and Marty’s guitars.
Thank you for the great music over the years. Fun looking back sometimes, eh?
Cheers
You should have named it: “BUST OF CALIGULA – THE CHURCH ON TOUR”.
jn the absence of any new church activity, this will be the event of the year.
Dja see “Everyone Stares” by Stuart Copeland? Great POV movie about the rise of The Police. I can’t get this right now as i don’t have the cash. I hope it is available in the near future. My accountant(the wife)has her doubts but I’m working on her. Have a great day Steve. Edd
Yes I c they always stare. But what r they staring at? 🙂
an awesome tour film, highly recommend, studio beginning, really liked after image and city parts, how about the jack frost women, waitresses god love them, the blue bass, summer fest gig milwaukee, romance swords and sorcery, and film
Hi Steve, any chance a DVD of the opera house performance available to buy. Yours Judy Miller
its outta my hands judy miller
Thanks a lot Steve for making it available !.I love the first 12 minutes of the studio session a lot with Marty playing his Jazzmaster and the rest of The Church jamming.Magical !some funny moments and very good concert filming.
And some unexpected moments when I finally saw the face of Mike Lembo ( he really looks like a “mafioso”) and the dishonest girl from NME.
Spinal Tap? I’m utterly confident that this DVD blows them away.
I’ll be sure to have my amp on 11. 😉
Awww man, wished i’d known there was a digital copy, I would have bought that! Saved some cash instead, oh well, at least it’s going straight to The Church SK Bank! Love ya man, can’t wait to get mine in the mail. I’m hoping it doesn’t get beat up like things do sometimes from Australia to the USofA! Thanks Steve for the memories, will be played proudly in my bluray player
Ordered the DVD and then bought the download (I’m travelling in States and couldn’t wait).
About an hour in and I’m captivated. There is something in this that is very special. It’s as if you can feel what is going on out of shot. Like you are actually invoking the time and place and being immersed right in it. And there is something really intimate with the eyes ( fans, journalists, Marty, Steve, others ). Just really candid and present. It’s a time machine, maybe the very first.
I think I can return and see something different each time I look.
thanks glenn!
Hi Killa,
i just finished watching the film… thanks for putting it together, it surely shows the reality of touring and was fascinating. I did feel for the interpreters trying to get across what you guys were saying in some of those pressers! I am a translator myself (in italian and spanish) and my mind boggled thinking of how to translate what you guys were coming up with!
love your work
BO
thanks BO
Good god, this thing is good!
First off, this is absolutely essential for any fan of the Church… and, dare I say it, a bargain at twice the price. Loads of great behind the scenes doo-dads (which really are fascinating) and SO much fantastic live music. I had no idea there would be so much uninterrupted music on this… thought it would all be quick cuts from this to that. Silly me. Great job on the editing too. Really well done!
So…big thanks for doing this. Just the kinda thing a fan would love, I’d think.
Which tour are you putting out next? 🙂
Cheers,
Raffles
