semplicemente magici

[blackroze80]

Beautiful.There really aren't any other words to describe.

[experimentalactor]

i love this song. one of the best DCD!

[beforethree]

drums are epic, really.

Have always loved Dead Can Dance. Too bad, their performances are rushed in ways that don't do justice to the beauty of the moods, instrumentation, and vocals captured in studio efforts. I've noticed this on a number of live videos. Compare the various versions of Black Sun. Still love their entire body of work and miss their presence in today's scene.

[Lemure333]

@bassackward360 Any time I saw them play, there was no rushing....

[Maxiclaudi]

Check out the Sibilla Castellana clips on YouTube: this is where you will find the origins of Lisa's/DCD's music!

[didyouseethatlight]

There's nothing wrong or scary with you singing along to this music. Dead Can Dance spoke directly and clearly to the Departed and it was beautiful. Thanks for the post.

[DarkDynamics]

What ever happened to the video for 'Persephone (The Gathering of Flowers)' that used to be on YouTube...? It was professionally done and very beautiful! Where is it I can't find it anywhere? Does anyone know which one I mean?

[matthewcallow]

@DarkDynamics lovely video, I hope its on there still! x

[osomaniac]

unos grandes musicos

[vjreejr]

This should be The National Anthem of God.

[Crijevo]

This thought of yours best summarizes Dead Can Dance's music. I consider myself more of an atheist but DCD are the reason why I believe in things divine. :)

[EmreDeMara]

@vjreejr

YOU MEAN GAIA !

The Christian God has no meaning in that Song.

[vjreejr]

@EmreDeMara Why did you presuppose that I was talking about the Christian "God". Besides, if the is a single God, it doesn't matter who worships that diety nor how. The only thing that is relevant is the existence of that diety.

And, no, I don't mean Gaia.

[vjreejr]

I told my wife that I want this song played at my funeral. This is the song that you will hear as you travel down the tunnel and into the light and meet your maker.

[gabonicabitis]

I went to this concert, good to see it posted here, thanks :)

[goticaborderline]

sweet scary and heavenly voice ¡ I LOVE IT

[undrentide33]

i have the whole of this concert as mpegs, as my friend converted it for me from my vhs copy...i will get round to posting the whole concert sometime!

[23skullhead]

Thankyou and blessing for this video! The best musical event I have ever witnessed, I was up on the circle level and totally blown away this night, one of the most special events of my life.

Peace!

[jarjar2b]

[tropcis]

DCD una verdadera joya de la musica que grupo tan lleno de sapiencia y talento ......

pocos logran tal nivel

[solnegrolunaroja]

Please, somebody post "Radharc"! I miss DCD very much :-(

[shaddar666]

I LOVE !!!!!!!!!!!

[glukasz85]

what means "avatar" in this song?

[teboo12345]

son los mejores de su epoca y sin duda ya son parte de la historia yo tuve el gusto de disfrutAr en vivo su calidad infinita y fue un poco llegar al cielo!

[littlenem]

Increible calidad artistica de los Dead Can Dance, felicitaciones porcompartir tan grande material videografico, y bastante raro por la epoca. Y nuca falta un tonto desubicado que hace comparaciones de voces o nombres entre grandes grupos, cada grupo tiene su lugar bien merecido en lo alto de su exito; DCD y C.T. for ever!

[arturo3164]

dead can dance y CT, ni al caso, tienes razon completamente, solo un sacrílego puede compararlos, lisa y brendan son genios

[automap]

God, even through the muddled audio, her voice sounds just the way it does on the record. Impressive.

[RiVvenGuard]

shes the real deal

[webnothing]

DCD is better live than on any recording. Brendan and Lisa both have incredible voices to the extent where it sounds unreal, but it's real alright haha.

[clafey]

Along with Advent one of my favourite DCD songs. Thanks for the upload my friend!

[alaala666]

spatattapaplastiquepata , read well ! of course I know the diference between Liz (a.k.a GOD) and Lisa Gerrad !!!! Once again : does anybody know why they called it avatar ???

[spastiqueplastique]

Lisa Gerrard. Liz Fraser is Cocteau Twins. I apologize, for being in need of correcting you, but they are both amazing and should not be confused.

[alaala666]

God (aka Elizabeth Fraser) bless you !!!

Great perfomance !

By the way, does anybody know why Brendan and Lisa named it "avatar" ???

[smartin108]

[wglmb]

Thanks for sharing. This is one of my favourite songs... it's a shame there are no good recordings of it live

[Lichurna]
