[TheReverend74]

[knobber]

Mega - thx

[guyfromnewcastle]

Very bizarre.. But I love bizarre.

[Slaprougefun]

This video certainly does not do this entrancing song much justice.

[878commando]

massive JOKE fan, that end bit is wrong! But fitting somehow.

[pastillegirl]

wow, killer footage! i love every song on this album. it's a toss up between this and The Clash if I could only listen to one band for the rest of my life.

[synar]

Brilliant!

[KingCrimson82]

feeling like a beast hunting through the night xD

[oingofan]

killer shit, thx!!!

[jongub]

the best band ever!!

[danpakko]

yes! v laughable but in some bizarre absurd way, couldn't be more true! The last 30 seconds or so, when Jaz contorts into some freaky horror piece, I would nominate as the scariest and most intensely performed piece of their long glorious career. Cheers!

[julosx]

I didn't know about Raven. What did happen to him ? Can anyone tell me ?

[steinber]

heart attack, apparently. i could be wrong.

[CaptainFootos]

he was recording with treponem pal in france, 2007. and yep, sudden heart attack. died in his sleep.

RIP, Raven!

but as jaz said last year in berlin, they talked to raven via a medium and he's fine in the next world... good old jaz and his mysticism! (c;

[878commando]

@julosx Yeah, heart attack in sleep? I believe it was Ministry he was working with at the time?? I may be wrong. His work with the Joke, Prong and October File(producer) will be remembered.

[TheRealCritique]

This may be the darkest song on the darkest record ever made. An Absolute masterpiece.

[SCROGY]

@TheRealCritique Word. Killing Joke is easily the best band of the 80's. I love Bauhaus, early U2, REM, Joy Division and The Cure. However, those guys are but the students. KJ are the masters.

[TarantellaSerpentine]

FCK!!!!!!!!

[ThePoisonDoor]

:D amazing upload

[lafatbiche]

Ha. I was actually in that concert!! It was in the good old Alabamahalle! Hard to believe thats 23 years ago. I was 18 back then. Now I am old :-( KJ rock!!!

[dentoxic]

it's my favourite song of KJ !

[Bambutschi]

Man. That baseline along with those of other KJ songs made me wanna start with that instrument too. What a bad player I was (I quit), but playing along those lines for rehearsal and pure freakin'fun was really something.

[recordingsoftheflesh]

I bought my bass for that very reason myself. This song is incredible! RIP RAVEN!

[TheRealCritique]

I'm a bass player and I've fonud some of their basslines to be tougher than expected, not so much in notes, but in attack.

[FLORENT2222]

RIP Raven ,sad news

[CaligulasQuestion]

Could you please post more of this concert?  Thank you so much. I think it is incredible. A real catharsis!

[jusan69]

wondweful song.
