Crime & The City Solution - Steal To The Sea

[praszu]

It reminds me of "The Doors - When The Music Is Over"

[pawelnobody]

Pure magic.

DEATH



[EarlyLAPunk]

Their records hold up for me more than a lot of the folks that time. Get it how the drums sound like waves? So cool!

[docstapes]

I had been there, what a night. Great

[malehawk]

Does any user have "The Adversary" that was the song they included in the OST of the Venders movie "Until the End of the World"? any hint would be appreciated a lot

[nitolyn]

@malehawk Yes, I have it, Do u still need it?

[malehawk]

@nitolyn Yes please

[kidcongo69]

Definitely the best band ever !!!

Great to see it here. I will never forget this festival. The line up was amazing: Die Haut, Crime & the City Solution, Butthole Surfers, The Fall, Swans and finally Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds.

It's a pity this awesome band lost the way and tried to force success later on with corny pop songs. :( Simon Bonney was a fantastic singer and performer - imho actually even more facinating than the (of course) magnificent Mr. Nick Cave.

@kidcongo69

Butthole Surfers?!

[kidcongo69]

@beowulven

Yes, of course, the Butthole Surfers

They were absolutely spectacular that evening presenting an amazing freak show: splatter clips in the background, 2 drum sets on the left, 2 completely naked gogo girls dancing on the right of the stage and Gibson Haynes in the front creating huge, meter high flames up to the ceiling using a jerry can of gasoline spread on a ride cymbal, enflamed by a lighter and hit all the way up with a drum stick …

Loved it - the Rembrandt Pussyhorse era

@kidcongo69

Yeah, I'm familiar with their brand of "yuk yuk" rock. Almost as funny as "Weird" Al Yankovic. Whatever.

[Remusuede]

Amazing

[aquamoon22]

blazing, beautiful, ghostly goings on

[chopinnocture]

wow - this is one of the most complete music clips I've ever seen. What energy!

[cowboystitching]

Too bad Simon fucked up Alex's leg.

[NaturalDisasters]

fantastic!! ethereal but heavy, sparce and crushing, um... destructive while nebulous!?

[cmfarmer]

All hail C+CS. What price a reunion?

[fieryjackswampthing]

Reeling. I suspect this is the best snatch of live music I've ever come across. Best band in the history of the universe. Box-sets now. Where on Earth can I get a copy of 'The Kentucky Click?'

[OJGoreng]

I'm pretty sure it's on the CD release of Room of Lights. I still have the 12" (B side of the "Adventure" single).

A major Thank You to whom uploaded this! I saw them in Amsterdam on this tour, for an audience of maybe 50 people. A bit of a shame for the band, but it was a great experience!

[OJGoreng]

Oops. Just checked and it isn't on that CD. My record shop guy would say "try to download it somewhere", which I guess is why they are out of business now.

[cinnmcrickson]

Where is this video from?? Is there a dvd of this material???? I MUST HAVE IT

[claireobscure]

@cinnmcrickson

It's from "Kings Of Independence" festival, recorded in august 1987, and released on VHS in 1989.

The Tape also includes Nick Cave and Swans footage.

[nicomadriz]

omfg what a great band...heavier than a thousand metal groups, passionate & emotional but no 'emo' shite, and definitely better than their counterparts the bad seeds, as much as i love the birthday party and nick cave.

[sawmasterthebowler08]

this sounds like rowland backpeddaling trying to sound like the bad seeds

[NowLeaveMeNowGo]

Rowland? Rowland?????? Rowland?!!!!!!

I'm looking but I can't see him...

That is Alexander Hacke.

[Brock2097]

You might want to try Swans too. In fact, those guys all played together at that show.

[nicomadriz]

omfg what a band...heavier than a thousand metal bands. and definitely better than their cousins the bad seeds, in my humble opinion.

[elnivan]

can't believe it's here, many thanks!!!

[venenoparaduendes]

great!! tnks!!!

[pilkingtonphil]

[LiarSkie]
