[camdenlurch]

sometimes i watch this and think it is the best live/concert video ever made and that they should all be like this .

never mind your multiple cameras and such .

every time i watch it in fact .

love this .

[dougsha]

@camdenlurch Whoa! Can't beat that comment. Glad to share the music!

[stevie44ify]

Glad u were there!!!

[mrdrgonzo]

Now I know what its like to be a midget at a gig

[stomachlining]

I use to see these guys play at the Pirates Cove, Cleveland, Ohio.... with Devo as their opening act

[periurban]

Lovely wee video. I saw Pere Ubu twice in the day when they toured the UK. Brings back great memories.

[dougsha]

Hard for me to believe over 25,000 people have watched this video. Glad I brought my cheap little camera to the show!

[paretsky]

@dougsha I am 25912 to see this and it's GREAT!!! what energy there....

[ojensby]

Like being there. Eminent.

[MakhnoNoNo]

Tue-Pain! Ils envoient l'Infusoire loin. Extra.

[ElvisWoods]

nice camera work

[dougzilla]

Must have been a riot to go to that show.

[theotherwindow]

F'in BRILLIANT!

Thanks for posting!

[manmaas]

I think the aesthetic of sound/video is spot on. This is what footage back in the day would have been if we'd had fancy kit. Stuff anti-shake technology!

[zeprefel]

this is epic, thanks for posting

Cloud 149 is on Datapanik in the Year Zero, their masterpiece EP.

[jefferyhoelscher]

to ninestraycats, the last song is 'Cloud 149'. It's a Hearpan single available on 'Terminal Tower'.

[jefferyhoelscher]

I think that's my drink in front of the cameraman. This was a good night. All of the bands were spot on. Even Skoal Kodiak who quit after a song and a half for sound reasons (if you ever get a chance to see them, do so. They're like nothing else I've seen). Suicide Commandos sound more like Pere Ubu than any inacarnation I've encountered. It's good to be a Minneapolitan.

[tekjansenn]

awesome thankyou

[ninestraycats]

i don't recognize the last song! anyone?

[peetyweety]

Non Alignment Pact!!!!!! Final Solution!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks so much for posting it. the aesthetic was just fine..

[csven]

Made my day. Thanks.

[spelias]

AAArrrrGGGGHHHH!!!!!

The camera needs to go back into it's packet. Tje sound is despicable @ best. All in all, an absolutely wonderful and accurate documentation of an Ubu show.

Get a few more life's, David.

Thanks!

[SLIMandtheTANK]

Someone get that cameraman a drrrrrink!

[zazeify]

crunchy is right!

But it's perfect for the music!!!!

[zazeify]

show 'em how it's done, David!!

[raoulvanhorn]

Commandos AND Ubu? Mind-blowing! 5 stars even with the "punk aesthetic" camerawork!

[hahahahaha23]

YESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dougsha]

Glad you dug it!

[the300club]

I wish I could have seen their

"no paradise COED JAIL I won't be back" tour! "UNIQUE IDEAS LEAD TO PRISON"

[dcorinnemomma]

YOU BETTER SIGN IT!!!!!!

[diddywahdaddy]

Now, that's some STUNNING eleven minutes!! Wish I could've been there!!

[danmaftei]

fucking amazing!! 5/5 if it weren't for the sound quality

[hahahahaha23]

David Thomas thinks your taking things too seriously danmaftei

[Polyphemus47]

No words to describe how cool it is to see the guys again! I moved from Mpls in 2002, and NOTHING in Vegas compares to this.

[ernestoche4ever]

[PVCVIDEOLA]

Non-Alignment Pact!

[MarsVoltaKA]

David Thomas is incredible

[blobjunkranch]

[pensarcual]

Very enigmatic and pawerfull band. A good heritage of the new wave and post punk music.

[chh5555]

Hello Chris Dave n Steve! Was Linda there too?

[Timmybear]

Somehow the chaotic sound and picture fits. ;)

[Islwynpaul]

Non Alignment pact, a great band Pere Ubu and David Thomas a fine artist. Mark E Smith, you are right, they are both two of the finest vocalists/artists of my generation.

[danmaftei]
