Cocaine is a powerful drug 😂

Saw this band about 10 times after AENT and I enjoy seeing Steve happy and Marty smiling. They were amazing and on FIRE. EQUAL to the Beatles in writing, singing, surpassing in quality output ... Ziggy aint got nothing to say... BEST Rickenbacher player ever.. better than Lennon/McGuire/Petty and top ten Fender Strat player ever. Steve is top 15 bass and equals all of his hero writers... Bowie, Maca, Floyd..etc plus each year he exceeds their output... come on. The CHURCH is up there with the WHO, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Zep, Bowie, rarefied air!

Total classic song.One of their best without any doubt.

Peter Koppes once said it was his preferred tune from the whole catalog

Marty --GREATEST Rickenbacker player EVER!!!!

saw this tour in Athens, GA. Loved it.

The best

Great! Starfish tracks

after all these years Hotel Womb still make me fell so many things, still one of my favs. <3

Man was this jam ever reissued beyond that soundtrack? I know they didn't own the rights to even tho they wrote it... Awesome to hear it live at their 80s peak! 💫

which venue?

BEST BAND EVER with Ploog that is!

Marty destroying the bass in after everything!!

First band I ever saw live at the age of 15. No photo IDs then, but was still shaking showing my fake ID to the doorman 😅

I love The Church and this is great.

Good lord. The penultimate Church setlist.

WTF,why they played Myrrh so fast?😁

I was hooked on the Church after hearing them on college radio in the 80s. This has good sound quality.

This live sound is record-worthy.

Thanks.

Merry Christmas SENSEI difficult time but tonight Christmas Eve far from home and the loved ones your music and poetry getting me through again

❤

go ploogie!

Forgot to add then we need to start a top ten guitarist list....hmmmmm🎸🔥🎸💯🔥🎸💯🔥🎸💯🔥🎸🔥💯🎸🔥

Richard needs to be put on the top 10 drummer lists ...such a one of a kind sound this is what brought me in😎🤘💯🔥❤️🎸

Had I been at Marty Wilson Pipers feet I would be doing much nicer things then throwing shit at him...Grow up ppl enjoy real music...🎸❤️🔥🤘💯😎 Love The Church and the difference they bring thru music.🎸❤️🔥🤘💯😎

This very well may have been the coolest thing I have ever scene in my entire life. 😁

there's a weird dynamic going on, none of them look happy, or seem to be enjoying themselves, little interaction, the blocking is strange, and choice of songs.. two places especially drags, the whole thing lacks oumph...

the hair stylist didn't do them any favours

Kudos to All Members of The Church!!!Steve Kilbey,Peter Koppes,Marty Piper & Richard Ploog!!!

Pure Chance 😮 I stumble across this, and the standout for me is witnessing Peter Koppes delivering us into the quintessential ever so subtle flavours of Jimi's Universe, I'm feeling the ❤ love. Day 5 and Invisible closes the curtain, comforting any wounds (self baggage) carried, prior.

nice

As good as it gets. 🤘

I would pay my souls ransom to see this iteration of The Church again… There is and will be no other! SK, MWP, PK & TP!

Maravilloso!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Rick Springfield ❤s The Church. And Springfield did a cover of Under the Miky Way.

Wow, thank you for this rare thing! By the way, the song sounds much better in live version!

Awesome drumming.

I don't think I've ever heard this concert before, so I feel like I'm about to embark on a journey.

Very cool intro to 'Pharoah'

It wasn't mother nature that make these trees take root.

My favorite band

I attended the same concert the following week in Madrid (03-05-1990) at Jacara. Incredible. I still remember Marty breaking the strings of the guitar !!!!!! Unforgettable

Slow it down a bit but phenomenal interpretation my boys!!!!

😊.

Thank you.❤

I used to read Steves blog - The Time Being but life can be mischievious at times and I stopped reading, so anyhoo... Some years ago a very loud party was under way at his apartment complex, and given that the noise was very loud Steve has no choice but to find the source and see if they could turn it down. Steve finds the apartment and knocks on the door and after what seemed like forever the door opens and two young men are looking at him. He tells them that the noise is very loud and can be heard all throughout the complex. Now, as Steve is talking one of them is staring and remarks : " You look familar, I've seen you somewhere before." To which Steve tells him that he is the singer from the band The Church. And the young man replies: " No, it wasnt you, I have no idea who you are or of your band." They agree to turn down the music and noise, and Steve leaves. I've always loved this story and can just picture Steve explaining who he was...😊.

Its true theyre in a class of their own. 🙂👌

MWP is really going for it here during Grind!
