Very powerful joke, isn't it? Almost as powerful as Killing Joke's music. Trance and heavy post punk. Tribal-like rhythms with hypnotic guitar riffs on top. Killing Joke's music was always imitated but never replicated. Only permanent members in this band are Jaz Coleman and Geordie Walker.
Coleman is classically trained musician and occultist. He has composed not only rock songs but also orchestral pieces, Very weird man. In 1982 he moved to Iceland to escape Apocalypse! And in October 2006 Coleman became composer in residence for the European Union. Not very usual.
This concert was recorded 20.05.1989 in Lyon, France, shortly after band's reactivation. One year before they released great album "Extremities, Dirt & Various Repressed Emotions". Line-up is:
Jaz Coleman - vocals
Geordie Walker - guitars
John Bechdel - keyboards
Paul Raven - bass
Martin Atkins - drums
And now is something for people that doesn't know german:
Der ver zwei peanuts, valking down der strasse, and von vas... assaulted! Peanut!

kolejna po suicide przyjemna niespodzianka, tym bardziej, ze sa to nagrania z okresu poprzedzajacego wydanie jednego z moich ulubionych albumow tej zasluzonej ekipy. scenicznie - jak dla mnie objawienie, polecam, jesli dotad nie miales okazji; czysty frenetyzm, szamanskie inklinacje colemana wciaz potrafia zlapac za gardlo, abstrahujac od precyzji wykonania i wrecz punkowego emploi live.
czy dysponujesz moze nagraniami koncertowymi z okresu longa "whats this for...?"? dzieki! pozdrawiam!
Niestety nie dysponuje nagraniami z tamtego okresu, a szkoda.
Killing Joke to świetny zespół i wciąż nagrywają znakomite płyty. Ostatnia - "Hosannas from the Basement of Hell" jest jedną z ich najlepszych. Niewielu zespołom udaje się taka sztuka po ćwierćwieczu działalności.
Hello

Any other KJ concerts out there??
Andy
I have some other KJ gigs but sound quality isn't great. Maybe one day but not soon. If you like KJ you should check Siekiera "Nowa Aleksandria" http://proskynesis.blogspot.com/2008/02/dont-panic-were-from-poland-part-17.html
