The early proof of Marty Wilson-Piper and Peter Koppes' dual-guitar brilliance - one of the best pairings I've ever known - and all that it would become as they kept getting better and better with experience, until lo and behold they reached their peak with Priest=Aura, IMO. It's wonderful to see this with Richard Ploog on drums, and the towering presence of Steve Kilbey and all that his songwriting genius would bring forth in the years to come - what a great band. I absolutely love these guys.
I remember an article in Guitar magazine with Piper and Koppes on the cover around the Starfish era. I just love this concert, because it really plays up the jangle sounds of the Blurred Crusade era. The interplay on Tear it Away and Sisters is sublime
love it. these songs are part of my friends and my DNA. such an influence as a guitar learning teenager. And then surreally..... I end up in the band. wild. p.s. cant wait to play "tear it all away" one day soon.
There are a lot of great pop songs..I have to put The Unguarded Moment in the top ten of all time..Yet I never see it listed as such. The best I see is that it is among the greatest of the 80s..Who agrees?
@@soysaucehairdye7869 The Sound were a great band . I saw them live a few times too between 1980/83 but I don't know that album (lol) rip Adrian Boreland
@@keithbate9405 Sweet man. ‘Counting the Days’ was from the EP they released after their third album was a commercial failure. It’s one of their catchiest songs imho and sounds something similar to The Cure and Asylum Party.
@@soysaucehairdye7869 I have a number of their albums , but don't know that ep. An Underrated band who were seen as inferior Joy D by the music press. Rubbish ! I saw JD in 1980, and totally different . Adrian B used to charge around the stage like that bloke from Future Islands does now. Did you know that Goths claim that both the Sound and the Church were Goth bands . Hilarious the Sound were classic "New wave", and the Church a neo 1960's Guitar band a la Byrds.
Ah. The beautiful old days. Back when people got into the music of a concert, were in an "unguarded moment" if you will, rather than sticking distracting cell phones in the air trying to make a shitty recording of the best rock band in the world, a recording that they will never be able to watch & fully appreciate because it won't come close to the live experience of this band. Now. Back to the show.
Nice. The audio is crystal clear--and with headphones on I have Marty in my right ear, Peter in my left. It sounds great. If you're a guitar player learning how to play Church songs for the first time, this is a good tool.
I have been waiting for 25 years to see some good early footage of this band in their heyday. This is phenomenal. Why it has never seen the light of day staggers me ...
I saw them at Tilley's in Lyneham a little after that. It was a small, fairly intimate gig, as Tilley's isn't that big. One of the best gigs I've ever been to.
@@tomlangron2532 I remember Tilleys. Eric Burton played there. I saw The Cure at The Ainslie Hotel in '78 or '79. Unknown then. Just the regular patrons standing at the bar and a few dozen 'fans' that night. Pulled up a couple of plastic chairs to only metres from them, sipping bourbons and rolling numbers. Great night.
Reading all comments in here, and I have found only votaires and supporters, never a sole hater... THIS IS GREAT! Symptom that THE CHURCH is one of the greatest bands ever, all around The World!!
Wow! Great to see the band in their first youthful incarnation. Brilliant lighting plus live versions of personal faves such as Too Fast For You and Tear It All Away. The only track that doesn't quite live up to the studio recording is Just For You. This footage conforms what a live powerhouse Richard Ploog was. Peter's lead guitar relatively low in the mix.
Omfg... where did this come from? Unbelievably brilliant, shows what an amazing live outfit they were ( and still are) back then, musically precise and also shows what an incredible drummer Ploogy was
I think I was at this gig….or if not, one in the same era in Melbourne, 1982, Prospect Hill Hotel in Prospect Hill Rd, Kew (Now a Dan Murphy’s bottle shop) next to a Maccas. This is why I love the Church. The incredible song writing, the blissful guitar eargasms… and yes, those paisley shirts and proto-mullets.
My first experience was in 1991 (?) - The Church headlines with the UKs The Blue Aeroplanes (the band I knew and was craving to see). I had never heard of The Church. That show was at The Orpheum Theater in Boston and we were late. I MISSED the blue aeroplanes. Hell sake. We walked up to the venue and I was blasted (unbeknownst to me) with REPTILE. It painted the city streets in reverb and delay. Mind completely melts. The rest is history. I'm still here and never leaving. Just secured my tickets to see them revisit the city for Hypnogogue.
Nice. I first saw the Church back in 85 and have seen them many times over the years. I always think this is the best Church line up. Marty and Peter were special together. They are still a great band though, and a lot of their new music is as good as anything they have ever done.

After I convince the fuhrer to stick to painting and nothing else, I'd go and visit some landmark gigs -- assuming I haven't altered the course of music.
I keep coming back to this..I have youtube on as background music while chained to my desk at work..this is 52:53 of pure bliss. the guitar/drum work is as good as it gets..A great mix of tunes..this is as good as the Church (and very few groups ever did or will) achieved.
I doubt even Steve Kilbey would say that you know . The Beatles, The Velvet Underground , Fleetwood Mac, Wall of Voodoo, Dead Can Dance, Joy Division , REM for me.
This is my second visit to watch this epic performance! Such clear sound and vision... gives me chills. I have been in a love affair with this band's music for 38 years! My first live experience wasn't until 1984 and I have lost count how many times I have seen them. I have travelled from state to state and then country to country to see The Church. I love this period in the band's history. I have no idea where this came from but I thank my lucky stars that it is here!!!!!
I have loved these guys since "The Ungaurded Moment" which I think I first saw on Countdown.I was lucky enough to see them at thebby on the blurred crusade tour.They opened with "When you were mine"Bloody religious experience I will never forget.So love this ep too which I have the double 45 of.Great footage.
I agree Octavian. It looks to be more than just an amateur recording given the different camera angles. I would happily pay for a copy, especially if the lads got some of the money.
I second Octavian's comment below--Like discovering another Hope Diamond (or plutonium)..nothing like the early (more innocent days) of a legendary band
Wow, mind blowing! This brings back some memories! I recall attending this exact triple-bill at the old Earls Court in St Kilda, along with the ex-GF and a few friends (Ollie, were you there? I think so). Pretty sure The Runners were the opening act, The Church in the middle and Moving Pictures were headlining on the back of their monster hit "What about me?". As you can tell from the audience reaction, "Unguarded Moment" was pretty much the only track that was well known, and perhaps a few had picked up on "Almost with you", which I think was the first single off Blurred Crusade. We Church die-hards knew the lot, of course! I remember sweating a great deal... Congrats on finding this gem and thanks for uploading it!

@@davidellis5141 Those 3 bands have been my favorite 3 bands for 35 yrs( and i have to squeeze in Jesus and Mary Chain too) and i need not listen to anything else...
Shows how much i was into fecked up shit This was the year my mum went to heaven.- 85 Is the 1st time i heard of you ghuys and this is 2021 still love you Thanx
I literally imagined this yesterday!!! Thought how good would it be to see something from the old days. And then this!!! My first Church gig. Hordern Pavillion 1982. I think March, I may have the ticket stub. Part of their Blurred Crusade tour. The supported a band called Moving Pictures that were huge for 15 minutes. We left after the Church, lol!!! Electric Lash was the new song, I thought it was called Electric Blush at the time. Thank you for this and I sincerely hope you have more, Heyday tour anyone??
Wow! Thanks for posting this! The first time I saw them play was in Amsterdam, 1988. It was ridiculously loud and Steve had to shout instead of sing. A real disappointment. In the 90s I saw them play a couple of small venues in Holland several times and they were much better then. Unfortunately they always seemed to refuse to play any 'oldies' off the first 2 albums. So, it's great to see this. Amazing quality and plenty of old favorites! Those guitars...
Ploog. Amazing , and at peak here on Is This Where You Live? In January ‘22 in solo gig in Melbourne where he played Of Skins and Blurred, Kilby said Bob Clearmountain (check CV) was top rock producer in world in ‘81, and chose them over many others to work with. Flew into Sydney, and did nothing much for first two weeks but worked with Ploog to nail drum sound for this record.
I'd also like to add that the sound quality as a whole is brilliant. For instance I've seen many live performances of You Took and this IMHO is by far the best - the closest sound to the album version
So Very Cool, Thankyou. I saw this Tour and a few after as well. Such an awesome band. I was one of their 'biggest Fans'. Pointed suede Boots and Paisley Shirts, So Cool, lol. Got 'Invited" Backstage at Souths Leagues Club 1984(?) Such cool Guys. And Peter Koppes ended up becoming my Nephews Guitar Teacher Many years later. Small World. So Amazing. Thankyou.
A window opened on my youth, and my young soul, Ive been mesmerized by The Church all my life, more so than any other band. Saw this lineup and set list several times around 82, a real treat to see this excellent live recording. BTW my greatest Church moment is the climax of the long build-up in You Took a Piece of my Heart, nearly gave me a heart attack live at the tender age of 19. Thanks Steve, Marty, Richard, Peter.
lol, marty pulled out a strat for the last tune, kudos for who ever recorded this, the mixing is the best, and Richard Ploog shows that he is one of the drum gods, so so fast but ever so light, thank you for uploading this concert
I really wish I could have seen them live, they sound so good, so melodic. I love Steve's voice and the musicianship is impeccable. And so many strong songs. This concert is bliss. Wish I had a DVD of it! 🌟💛
wish u had, theyvplsyed in my area DC several times, met them ! nice dudes! had a crush on Marty! this,was great when the original members were together, today just Steve but still enjoyable 😊

Whenever I hear "Oh Yeah" by Roxy Music, and the lyric "rhythm of rhyming guitars," I think of the Church and these two! Doesn't get any better.
Agree on the dual-guitar brilliance @fulltiltgonzales! Another brilliant pairing was Dave Fielding and Reg Smithies from the Chameleons

Absolute bliss! The paisley shirt era. Such great musicianship...takes me to a better place every time I hear their music.
Steve said in an interview that all they wanted was to take listeners to «that other place».
Always loved The Church ❣🎵🎼

Wow! and double Wow!! Where's this been all these years!!!

Uni Wollongong 1983. Free show! Fantastic!
@@eddyray2012 Far out. I think their album SEANCE, was released about then. Electric!
ploog is a genius on drums.
YEPPERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's holding his left-hand drumstick all wrong (or at least weird).
No thats how you hold playing military drums on parade. Sounds great.
You mean, what's called the 'traditional grip', like jazz drummers use? It's not that.
SURE IS
How good is this? .. the church are a unique and beautiful band to see them at the start like this is such a trip.
The Ploog! This is just brilliant
This is gold.
Just amazing.. MWP singing Field of Mars just incredible... genius in their youth.

And greetings from México!!
Sweet Jesus! This is a miracle video.
Amen. Must have seen them 8 times between 81 and 85. Best 2 guitarists band ever.
Go straight to Just For you at 48:00 if you want to understand how special these guys were at this time. Best 2 guitarists bad ever.
One of the greatest Pop groups ever!!!
This is still one of the best Church live performances ever caught, both audio and video, from that era.
Two of the best tones ever from both guitar players....and the light show is amazing!!
Haven't heard Sisters live since 1982. This is priceless
Ben Dobson sisters is the high point here.
Sisters- great, great song... hidden gem.

This is absolutely brilliant! It's exactly how I remember them from their first UK visit in November 1982. Truly epic!
They played twice at The Venue, London in 1982. October and December. I was at both. Brilliant both times. :)

This so good. If this kind of stuff was available on DVD I’d buy it.
You can download it, then burn it to disc if you felt inclined?

different camera angles.
I would happily pay for a copy, especially if the lads got some of the money.
I agree. It's too bad they didn't have any official live videos from this period.
Saw The Church play in Adelaide a few times in the early 80s. Great band live & in the studio

Hordern Pavilion, Sydney, 9 May 1982
Ploog. Amazing , and at peak here on Is This Where You Live? In January ‘22 in solo gig in Melbourne where he played Of Skins and Blurred, Kilby said Bob Clearmountain (check CV) was top rock producer in world in ‘81, and chose them over many others to work with. Flew into Sydney, and did nothing much for first two weeks but worked with Ploog to nail drum sound for this record.
You Took, OMG!
wow
I'd also like to add that the sound quality as a whole is brilliant. For instance I've seen many live performances of You Took and this IMHO is by far the best - the closest sound to the album version
Maybe Bob Clearmountain mixed the thing, as he's often done for Springsteen and the Stones later in his career.
So Very Cool, Thankyou. I saw this Tour and a few after as well. Such an awesome band. I was one of their 'biggest Fans'. Pointed suede Boots and Paisley Shirts, So Cool, lol.
