I remember the day I got into the Church :) I can't pretend to be a true fan, because I wasn't even born when they were around in their Heyday (see what I did there?), but I've got all their studio albums, and hopefully will get to see them live soon. I remember watching Donnie Darko when I was 14, there's a seen in the car, and he turns the radio on and 'Under the Milky Way' was on. I had to get hold of that song! When I did, I then spent the next 6 years filling the shelves! Love them always!
I remember when I first discovered The Church, as well. It was in October 1992. I never heard of them before that, not even "Under the Milky Way"! I read a review of their new album, "Priest=Aura", describing "shimmering guitars and lush, atmospheric soundscapes". Intrigued, I went to the record store the next day to buy it, based only upon that review. I was blown away on the first listen. - I had never heard anything like this before (and honestly, never have since). That album is still a classic to me, and I have it on every device I own. But anyway, I gradually collected their back catalogue, solo albums, side projects - I was hooked! They've been my favorite band since 1992. I don't think that not having been born yet doesn't necessarily make you not a true fan - I was only 5 years old when they formed in 1980 and wasn't even aware of them until I was 17 years old.
My. Goodness. This song was great back in 1982; this version takes it to an entirely new dimension. Had Steve possibly could have known that they would be playing it after 30+ years, he might have crafted better lyrics. But it does not matter--the song is just a jam, and a bloody good one at that. Let me play it again.
Have tried and tried but cannot put how good that was in words, suffice to say i can't get enough of this version. Fantastic. So under appreciated by so many. So fully appreciated by so few. Thanks Steve, Marty, Tim, Peter ....love your work.
The best song of one of the best albums! Their is not a bad song on Blurred Crusade, it flows like water from beginning to end. I had the pleasure of meeting them on Gold afternoon fix tour and they are cool and down to earth as hell. Always a fan, they create music that gives you a mood with it. They always seem to put you in a place with every song and that puts them in a original category which is something I greatly respect with music. Live, they are worth every penny never a disappointment!
chado69the1st - as an Aussie who lived "it" in the late 70s/early 80s, early The Church gigs were just so "hard" & "tight" - almost The Angels like in intensity. I fondly remember seeing this played live on TBC tour at The Bridgeway Hotel, Pooraka (Adelaide) - they were awesome that night
Caught 1990 Portland Show(general admission) when I was 32 with a much younger audience.. Dancing floor in front @ small venue.. Stellar beyond stars... 🤍🕊️
Hands down one of the best songs I've ever seen played live. Saw them play the song at The Bridgeway Hotel, Adelaide on the original "The Blurred Crusade" tour way back then - decades ago. The Church were blistering that night - that twin guitar sound has stayed with me forever.
I saw The Church for the first time at Ritchies in Preston, Melbourne, Australia in 1982 and I'm sure they did this song. Priceless song and pretty good memories.
I saw them on their first tour around Oz. At the Stagedoor Tavern, Seaton Hotel (Adelaide). Door ticket was $1.07 as its was SA-FM radio station promoting (107 on the FM dial). Great memories.
I was at the show later that night at Triple Door. I flew out to Seattle from Charleston SC to go with one of my best friends and fellow Church fan. Awesome sound quality. These posting are a real treasure. Thanks!!
I saw them in Buffalo, NY in 2009, and they played a breathtaking rendition of this song, just took off into the stratosphere - I think it was at least 15 minutes long! I really wish someone had gotten a recording of it. That was an awesome show, and I got to meet all the band members afterwards and they all signed my poster (and got my photo taken with Steve!) So glad I got to see them once before Marty and Peter left. I saw them again in 2015 (opening for The Psychedelic Furs) and in 2016, when Peter and Ian were the guitarists - they played this again at the 2016 show, but it was nowhere near as impressive as the 2009 show, and it was much shorter.
Great video. This track in particular, I think has Peter channeling Ritchie Blackmore more than you would usually hear from Peter's playing. Might just be me.
@jnvrmind789, it wasn't exactly a "soundcheck". The band performed a short session exclusively for KEXP. (They had actually soundchecked before this!) Check out more sessions Live from the Triple Door, on our channel.
Yeah... they always play this song and it rocks.... Much better than the original from way back in about '82.... Turned it into something quite else live.
Anyone know what gear (effects) Pete was using this tour and how he was using the amps (any of them getting non-effected signal, using amp distortion, etc)?
And a bass player! Like we’ve never seen before. Magical. Mystic. Shaman.

Two guitar maestros in one band! Wow!
I know, Man. It's crazy. People always made fun of that and then people see them live and they are confused. Love it. Cheers.
@@framodcole confused> Why?
music gets no better than this. holy smokes!

My mind has just exploded with the awesomeness of this performance.this is like travelling to another dimension......Wow and Wow again
Makes me wish impossible things. God, what a band.
Very nice live performance. Thanks to KEXP for posting all of their great music performance clips.

JOHN KERR ,
Lucky man,
Took me 30 yrs to see them live,
Not even the original line up,
Still loved it though,
Blurred Crusade is a masterpiece. I guess that the 30th Anniversary Series remasters of the album is even better, but that's no flack on the original.

They did!
Peter, David, Marty...blistering magic !
Still just blows me away!
Love The Church. Love this song!!
This song was and still is A-grade!!!
I was at the show later that night at Triple Door. I flew out to Seattle from Charleston SC to go with one of my best friends and fellow Church fan. Awesome sound quality. These posting are a real treasure. Thanks!!
is Peter amazing or what ? whew guitar magic !
Classic Church original and they still look cool - the road shall not weary them. Great sounding fresh new bass strings sound too.
Never gets old. What a jam!
I really like these guys.
SUPERLATIVE BAND ☆☆☆ I LOVE This BAND from Argentina & ROSARIO CENTRAL ( Central Railways Athletic Club )
this song, in 98, at chicago or detroit(i dont remember) was mindblowing. best song ever live. and ive seen a lot of concerts....
Great live version of this song.

saw them at the zoo in brisbane ,been a follower since 30 years ago ,they are the rock gods
Don't think I've ever seen someone sing, play bass and do a full Proud Warrior yoga pose all in one song before.
This is a Seattle show soundcheck.Just great stuff though.Love the Church !
saw them @ Ottawa Bluesfest last wk and this song was the show-stopper for sure...casual watchers were asking me for the name of this tune! kool!
This may very well be the best video I have encountered on this site.
Whoa, what a rocker! Great song!
Astonishing and amazing!
Great video. This track in particular, I think has Peter channeling Ritchie Blackmore more than you would usually hear from Peter's playing. Might just be me.
No way!!! This is awesome!!!
love it love it

Excellent concert¡¡¡¡
Unbelievable!
When one clicks on the word "jam" on the "Google Dictionary" it should direct you to this version of this song. That's all i'm saying...
Yeah... they always play this song and it rocks.... Much better than the original from way back in about '82.... Turned it into something quite else live.
Good Stuff-Great song and Great quality video.
Awsomeness
Marty Willson-Piper's turned into the Wolf Man!
Andrew Gilroy Robert Smith’s thinner cousin
Peter Koppes great guitar
9:35 the sound is out of sync? doesnt matter, that was still amazing.. the point is i was watching the whole entire video cuz it was so beautiful
tremendo
What year was this filmed?
Fuck i wish I there
Anyone know what gear (effects) Pete was using this tour and how he was using the amps (any of them getting non-effected signal, using amp distortion, etc)?
Wasn't this video in HD at some point?
One of my favourite 2 albums ever. This version Nope.
