Always love the precision and economy of this composition - they don't need to riff or improvise because each and every note has its place and none are superfluous. Like so many of theirs, actually. Hugely unappreciated band.
When I was 17 I saw this band for the first time. August 1988. I got a tshirt that had “Too dangerous to keep..too feeble to let go” printed on it. I already had “Starfish” and two others , loved the music, and “Reptile” premiered on MTV a month later. Good times. Almost 50 now.
Yeah it sends shivers up and down my spine... I feel the same way with Echo & The Bunnymen's 'Show Of Strength' especially true when they play it LIVE!!!!!
@@martincito88 Your question is vague. Are you being sarcastic, and implying they're not popular or relevant in 2020, or are you being sincere, asking where they are (what they are doing, etc.)??
The beauty of art is that once you discover an artist (or in this case, a band) you make it your own with the freshness of when they had just released their work. For me this is the case with The Church. I've only discovered them 2 weeks ago and I just listened to Starfish an hour ago. A delightful album.
been into them since under milky way etc... saw em & met them in my area then! still enjoy their music, even Marty's first solo album with cascade & idiots on it! miss those times from 🇺🇸 cheers ! ❤😊
This is amazing energy. Truly beautiful precision like a hummingbird getting nectar from a trumpet flower... Drummer is off the charts. Grew up in the late 70s and early 80s listening to these guys on 92.7 WLIR on Long Island, New York... GREAT STUFF. No cell phones. No internet. I came from another world. A simpler world. A happier world.
YES! WLIR, then WDRE! Used to listen to them in Northern New Jersey all the time! They were a little weak in Jersey, since they were in Long Island and were low powered. So I used my Ham Radio antenna aimed east to pick them up! That station was iconic! Did you know they are online now?!
The drumming is just awesome on this live vesion. I can feel the drumming from just listening. I got chills from just listening to a recording, can not imagine what the audience felt. And the guitars! One of the best songs inspired by the Thin White Duke!
I believe it was Mike Mills who said "There are 2 rules to performing: never wear shorts on stage, and never play a seated venue." This proves the latter.
Saw them in Ithaca, NY April of ‘19, awesome meet and greet before the show! Took me back to ‘88 recovering in St. Vincent’s hospital in Sydney after a brutal beating I got in Kings cross.
Amazing!!! There will never be another band like this! Pure Magic! You can never duplicate this with stand in’s - Kilbey! You four were the Sum of the parts! Sorry, but the jokes on you souvenirs .......good now forever lost!
Will we be able have a concert like this one again? Yes we will! The human spirit will not be contained or broken! Let me hear it from you brothers and sisters!

The guitar tone on both guitars is so on point.
Agreed. Flawless
Yes.
Literally the best I have ever heard
@ML Jones fair point my man. Lol
Minimal gain allows for far more tone scope.
ABSOLUTE LEGENDS. This is music.
To say this is MESMERIZING is an understatement.
That has to be one of the best outro solos I've ever heard! Flawless.
PK ... sublime
Listened to it many times
@@xtrachrisb488 Guitar work is outstanding. So much with so little!
What's with the dead crowd? He reeling on that guitar! 🤘

Yep..well said mate...spot on!

This musicians group are hidden jewel.
The guitar work is amazzzzzzzzing

1982 for me, taken both kids to see them also
Amazing band.. 🤘😎🤘
I can listen to this everyday
Yeah it sends shivers up and down my spine... I feel the same way with Echo & The Bunnymen's 'Show Of Strength' especially true when they play it LIVE!!!!!
Yes! This song has the greatest arrangement of guitars ever.
I do.
i listen every week
Rubéna Gurung I listened to the album once riding my bike into work, and now this and antenna run through my head constantly... awesome!
One of the all-time BEST rock bands, EVER! These guys have soul, chops, and great songwriting!
And in this 2020 where are they?

@@kathleensalazar5222 You met them. How cool is that! 😃
The drums sound amazing
Bring back Ploog’s mullet though
@@veerchasm1richard ploog hace falta
2 underrated guitarists right there. Great song.
Peter hoppes legendario
Reminds me of when I was in High School in 1990. My friend and I would scream the lyrics while driving around Colorado.
Sublime/beautiful/perfection. The Church that you can believe in....
total brother!
she was the apple of my eyes!
...but that was long ago....
Brilliant. I bumped into Steve totally at random at my local shops. He was happy to talk about all things musical. Nice bloke.

Saw them last Saturday in a small venue for $55, these guys deserve better!!
@@AudiophileTubes
They were fringe into Union County also but worth it. CQ DX!
@@richardsylvanus2717 CQ CQ CQ DX! Beaming the South Pacific...

CQ rare DX only! LOL!
Heard this on XM this morning and immediately cranked it up and my day was good.

Lol. Good requote
REM no longer records or tours. The church still does.
Sonny Kenn (look him up) told me "The audience doesn't care what kind of day you had."
@@dougzartmm
gracias por compartir esta tremenda canción de la gran banda The Church. Muchos recuerdos escuchando estas canciones esenciales.
Saludos desde Chile.

one of my favorite bands
The music is perfect!! Drums go perfect with the guitar and whoever the guitarist is are the solo up!!
Sublime y máximo, The Church elevándome más allá del cielo con este sólo de guitarra.
Marty's solo gives me goosebumps. Just incredible.
yes, both solos are brilliant.
Don McGonigal : me 2 😁
Cheers
super nice dude I met him ❤ and Steve❤😊
Wow, that ending! The interplay is amazing
Ni en mil años vamos a escuchar (y ser testigos en vida de algo tan hermoso)
Cancion magnifica. Es hermosa. Hermosisima. 😎
I saw these guys 3 times. First time was opening for U2, and the 2nd and 3rd time at a small club in San Juan Capistrano, Ca in the early 90's.
Willson-Piper is from another planet! :)
Love him!
No! Koppes and Wilson-Piper are from another planet!
Simply amazing,, what a great band
Pete koppes plays a ripper solo at the end.
That tone is amazing!
A fantastic groove happening in this song.. It rocks and swings...Beautiful.
Poetry wrapped in a psychedelic soundscape.1987. steve kilbey, peter Koppes, Marty Wilson Piper, Richard ploog.
Great guitars and an awesome bass line.

Amazing sound and playing!
