[skintdug]

[101100rich]

i have thefull dvd of this gig , it was filmed by the suport band indian dream from scarborough

[redpunk1]

@101100rich ah! I wondered who filmed it,its great rare stuff,so rare in fact that Dick Lucas contacted me for a copy.

[101100rich]

@redpunk1 i think dick has already got a copy , the singer of the suport band sent him a copy about a year ago

[redpunk1]

@101100rich He must of been on a mission,he asked me about a year ago aswell.

FUCKING GREAT FOOTAGE!!! THANKS!

[LucidiaHorseflesh]

and you can now buy a 3cd box set from Bluurg records

(would put the link but youtube won't let me)

Bloody marvellous x

[hgvneil]

cuz they ruined all the good bits and cut down all the trees,

and carved up someones landscape just to get from a to b,

just to move that little bit faster in your 5 speed luxury,

just to move that little bit closer to the world on your t,v.

or somethin like that..

[timewaster3000]

Ace. I can remember every word even tho I ain't heard this song in 20 years. Used to see em at bath place in leamington. Nice one.

[BbUiDgZ]

thanks for this, i'm 15 again

[jtake9]

Best ska punk band ever!!!!

[filthydolescum]

they did some quality releases, saw em play once in cardiff at the transport club in 1987,brilliant night

[dontdoityouidiot]

Can't seem to post the link to the vids on here so please go to Vimeo and search for either "Culture Shock" or "WessexAnarchist"

[redpunk1]

yeah,had a look yesterday,great rare stuff,cheers for the heads up.

[acidxtasy999]

@dontdoityouidiot thanks for that !!

[dontdoityouidiot]

Just been given a dvd of 3 full live gigs by the former drummer of CS, ripped from his home video collection. One up north, one poison girls gig and a late one at the mean fiddler (one of the last gigs) Will upload on here ASAP....

[anarchobands]

Great post mate a rare glimpse of a fantastic band.

[redpunk1]

yeah,it was nice to find some vid stuff of them at long last,incidentally,the drummer was recently seen playing as a stand-in drummer with the A-Heads,a rather classy player he is too.

[Lavaocean]

WOW!!! Thank you so much for posting this, it is so awesome!!!!!! Saw them live in Hanau in 1987!! Hitch-hiked all the way from Cologne, on my own - I was 20 and not scared!!!

I still believe that the system has to be fought and improved all the time, but from within is much more effective, especially as a woman when you point out their contradictions (as Dick said back then).

Love, Iz

[redpunk1]

Yep,can't beat the system by banging on the walls of society because its not listening,you gotta start with yourself and then spread the influence. Fair play to you for making the long trip to see them,I've no doubt they were worth it. Incidentally,Dick has asked for a copy of this dvd himself and I'm hoping he'll release it as a dvd sometime in the near future,theres precious little video stuff of this band.

[glazz9]

agree with loads of comments. MORE!

[george1punk2]

citizan fish sould do a cover of this live

[solidturd666]

i thought they were only a studio band.

Wow. really impressed.

thanks for posting this.

you just made youtube even cooler.

[solidturd666]

WOW!

good song! 5 star!

[punkhippe]

this is one of the best lyrically written song dick has ever wrote, out of his 50 billion or so i think this is my single favorite

[millerfat]

@punkhippe

This one and "Catching Flies" have got to be my favs, but, I can't decide which I like better.Cheers.

[jimyjag]

[manoele]

Wow.  I think that culture shock is my favorite out of all Dick Lucas' bands

[redpunk1]
