Wow, i remember watching this back in the 90's. I think it was a programme called the beat. I saw them at King Tuts in Glasgow & they were utterly amazing & hypnotic. The 2 albums they released are still stunning. What a band. Bless Jimmy Fernandez, rest in peace.

[@olafkegel6917]

One of the best bands ever.

[@nickgusset]

One of the best live bands I've seen

[@weareallbeingwatched4602]

So good. Indistinguishable from what they put on records, a sign of greatness in music - the performace is reality.

[@Limesubmusic]

I am lucky enough to have seen them twice, wish it was more

[@ScottishTeeVee]

Well at least you saw them, most others will only see them live via this video

[@rollandjoeseph]

Incredible band ..im glad to have met them in the early days!

[@ScottishTeeVee]

You were lucky to have met them back in the day, was it in the UK or elsewhere?

[@dr.k.vogel.]

I saw them at the first Phoenix festival in 1993. I was at the opposite end of the main arena, but heard this sound which just seemed to be drawing me in, and went closer and closer until I was in the middle of it, and it was just one of the most intense things I have ever witnessed. I was hooked and bought the first album, then the second, then was devastated when I heard Jimmy had died. This band stood out amongst all the other stuff that was around at the time. They weren't this, they weren't that, they were just... The God Machine. Heavy as hell, but deep, mysterious, magical... you know what I mean. I don't think there'll ever be a band like them. They were just too strange and powerful for this world to comprehend. RIP Jimmy and sadly, RIP The God Machine.

My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it

Wow!!! So great to see such fantastic footage. Thank you!! I was privileged enough to see most of their early 90’s London gigs...Water Rats in Kings Cross, Ear bleeding brilliance

[@originalherbalist]

Great upload VHS holding up well,saw them up the road at Astoria2 around the same time on the same bill as Jon Spencer and Afghan Whigs and a few other bands,that was a great weekend.

[@drgreyhound]

Thank you so much for uploading this. It's very rare to see some pro-shot footage of The God Machine. I've been going to gigs for over 30 years and nothing has ever come close to being as powerful as the time I saw them at the St Helens Citadel. Jimmy Fernandez RIP, never forgotten. Criminally underrated band.

Man I love this band, I really do. Listen to this massive drum destroying everything in its way. So cathartic!

Fantastic. I take it you all know Sophia? Robin Proper Shepard’s band after God Machine? Fantastic.

[@ScottishTeeVee]

To be honest I had never heard of Sophia until today. But thanks for watching and commenting

[@denniswalther3804]

People are like Seasons is great!

[@garfergkt4194]

I can see that the drumming in this song is inspired by Echo & the Bunnymen.

[@SM-dt1pr]

You probably already know that they covered All My Colours by the Bunnymen.
