The Wait - Killing Joke

Killing Joke live à L'Hammersmith Palais diffusé en 1982 dans l'émission Megahertz présentée par Alain Maneval. Killing Joke at the Hammersmith Palais in 1982 only 6 songs were broadcasted by the french TV.

Saw them many times in the early 80's at the Lyceum in London. Has never a band created so much intensity live. Happy night's I'll have for ever. Many thanks for sharing this

I remember the review sub line for the '82 Lyceum gig........' KILLING MACHINE '..the may 81 gig was released on an 'offical bootleg' - the 'Original Killing Joke ' live

I was at this show at the Palais, 16 years old, changed forever thank God, what a great band Killing Joke are, and still killing live after 40 years

​@@andchat6241I missed the chance to buy the bootleg, no cash that day.. It was in a shop too which I thought was odd,
been trying to find it online, just a recording of it, that and the turn to red 10" are all I need to complete the set of that era.. Can't be doin with em nowadays..

This is truly excellent. And yes Hammersmiths 2010 version was worthy also

In The Death and Resurrection Show, the amazing official documentary of the story of the group, they talk about this show and this very moment performing The Wait. The four of them say they lived an extrasensorial experience while on stage playing that song due to the high energy point concentrated in that area. With Killing Joke you never know if they are pulling your leg, but what is undeniable is their compelling power playing live.

Yeah, I thought that too. They're either laughing their heads off or total nutters.

@@theendofmytether Actually emf generated during concerts and other machinery can cause the sense of being outside your body and give you vertigo as well. A lot of people don't realize that their shitty home electrical system is leaking and they wonder why they feel sick. That and black mold. I had TMS therapy done and that crap made me feel like I was floating around.

[@andchat6241]

Actually the 'out of body/time lapse' experience was at Reading I think - it was on the same short early '82 tour as the gig shown here .

[@andchat6241]

What is 'emf' & TMF therapy' mean ? please .

[@mindmaster84]

Por dio , que banda!!!!

[@samuelspoons3553]

How did Punk die after that ?

[@andchat6241]

'Punk' was dead before this - and groups like K Joke , Basement 5, Swans , Bauhaus , leather nun etc filled the gap ...

[@freddiefries]

Amazing yes 😊 I thank Killing Joke for their music 😊
