[@aaronjschaefer]

One of history's most underrated bands...

[@davidforshaw4810]

👍Agreed! 🎶🔑

[@donatocapurso784]

Il problema non era la band, purtroppo era ed è il cantante non adeguato a ""tenere"" sul palco determinate canzoni.... bisogna stare sul palco,non serve solo truccarsi e vestirsi, bisogna stare sul palco e dare ""valore interpretativo alle canzoni... purtroppo non è stato così dall'inizio e nessuno ha avuto il coraggio (perché ci vuole coraggio a prendere iniziative,tipo mandare via qualcuno) di dire al frontman (se così si vuole chiamare) di sparire dalla circolazione!!! Dal momento che il cantante è stato il fondatore sicuramente mettendo più soldi degli altri,nessuno ha preso l'iniziativa!!! Questo dimostra la debolezza del gruppo che è stato solo a vedere come andavano le vendite,ma non a perfezionare la qualità dei testi e canzoni....Altri gruppi come i Pink Floyd ad esempio ha avuto il coraggio di mandare via uno dei fondatori Sid Barrett,ma altri ancora hanno pensato alla qualità,altri hanno continuato a fare cazzate,a drogarsi,ecc ecc,come ad esempio i CURE che hanno allontanato uno dei fondatori,Robert Smith ha capito e glielo ha detto a differenza degli altri che stavano solo a vedere...ecco il problema dei Killing Joker,non sono stati sottovalutati,hanno solo perso tempo e....soldi...guarda come è ridotto il cantante oggi,guardalo bene!!!! Fa paura,ma non ha effetto sul pubblico...il problema è lui

What a band , lovin Geordies playing it’s so relaxed

[@deeder2000]

How cool is the guitar player with his 'moves!'

[@mezameister]

Geordie Walker is his name, sounds like hhe was playing one , two sometimes three chords at the same time.Great guitar player.

[@decimated550]

Yeah and he was stylish as hell to boot , sure, tucked into his pants tapered leg, dress pants, hair parted on the side. Very cool demeanor. Yeah he was great farewell to him

[@scottshannon9566]

He dances with that guitar so gracefully.

[@Erichhh]

That guitar.....incredible.

[@shruggzdastr8-facedclown]

[@-doggy-6670]

Those Burman amps roar brother.....RIP Geordie Walker

[@decimated550]

​@@-doggy-6670what do you mean the guitar, doesn't he mean the two guitars? I swear Walker made it sound as if there were another unseen guitarist somewhere that guy could layer and echo and layer some more

[@-doggy-6670]

@@decimated550 Geordie used really loud Burman amplifiers with his Gibson hollow body....I believe he also used Electro Harmonix delays to get his echoes 👍👍

[@Geisteskrankful]

This was recorded @ Rockpalast Festival in Loreley (West) Germany in 1985. Other bands were on that festival were Chris Rea, Deep Purple, RHCP, George Clinton & Funkadelic et al.

[@turuntashtheboo7681]

Yeaaah!And still they are in action! In 2019!(Except Raven;RIP my friend)!KJ - love them more than 34 years, never disapointed,never!!!

[@richardblais5232]

nice to see Geordie so happy ...

[@maxinemckenzie5765]

Such Unflinching Apocalyptic Power (in broad Daylight too). They're so Focused here... Playing with Military Precision in the face of a largely Indifferent Audience.My Fave version of Bloodsport ever ~"Thousands of Armies East and West... and we wait!"~ Some of the Audience get where they're coming from, while most seem Gobsmacked. American Bases nearby bound to be some Service Personel in the Crowd... Saw The Joke again last year and they're Still Tremendous. R.I.P Paul Vincent Raven.

[@CheshireMoonBand]

I love how the intro music is the Sensational Alex Harvey Band!

[@martinjohnston6685]

this is superb , a real time capsule , killing joke are so tight here , thanks for the upload.

[@InterpolArticle1]

Notice how cool Geordie looks here? He's absolutely loving the sound he's producing during this gig!!!

[@eyemoeba]

he's not the only one. that intro could have gone on all night for me.

[@kafkatrap6812]

Geordie's moves always remind me of a medieval lute player bursting for a piss.

You are right. Remember Geordie ❤️🎸🌹

Watched this on a bad VHS copy for years, great gig especially when Bloodsport kicks in/ I was seeing them a lot during this time Thanx for posting

[@maxinemckenzie6076]

Yeah Bloodsport is great here, always a welcome oppertunity for Jaz to tell us verbally what's on their collective minds. "Winter, forever more!..." 🤡🎶✊.

[@desastermaster2010]

Thamx for the upload.....!! I was surching this gig for a long time!

[@ifutureman]

I have never understood why they never played anything from Fire Dances in their live sets. It's my favorite K.J. album.

[@CONSIDERABLYMORE1]

ifutureman agreed, Feast of Blaze and Fun And Games are fully deserving of permanent residency in the setlist. However they have a habit of not playing some of their great songs - presumably its a way of proving they have such a strong back catalogue they can drop songs that would make a whole career for some bands!

[@NannyWhip]

+ifutureman I've seen them do "Song And Dance", "Frenzy" and "Dominator" live.

[@becksipes4268]

There's a video up of December 83 where they play dominator and an incomplete version of 80s.. it's a damn good video

[@Mike-aka747]

Wished Rejuvenation was in this set. Would’ve fit in nicely

[@deeder2000]

This sounds great now even if was from a while back; very contemporary! The guitarist has some original and cool moves; reminescent of a Paul Simonon-type!

[@berenicegalilea]

Time 31:30 Love like Blood. Geordie the coolest guitar hero, he looks on the stage like he's doing anything, but those riffs are monumental. Geordie had a great presence and tremendous range. His guitar was aggressive, abrasive, eerie, but also ethereal and magic, all at the same time. R.i.P. Geordie. Prague never forgets 🙏

Great gig. Musically they were very tight during this era. Saw them in 2012 and will do in a few weeks in 2013. Ironically their later songs and hence their sound is much more aggressive!! Not bad for 50+_ old farts!!

[@Erichhh]

Hey, it is the 33rd anniversary of this amazing performance!

hi i just want to make a correction to the setlist, you forgot good samaritan (damn good song) in between kings and queens, and love like blood. amazing concert thanks for upload

[@aidacrc]

Amazing

[@themchangesband]

You forgot "Good Samaritan" played between "Kings and Queens" and "Love Like Blood"

[@Trotskyxx]

Easily done... not the best of choices for a live concert...

Killing joke tiene su cima en brighter than an thousands suns

[@CONSIDERABLYMORE1]

I wonder where the Manic Street Preachers stole their 1994 look from??? Any ideas?

[@COwens]

Echo and the Bunnymen circa 1979.

[@merlin5476]

This period seems so much more polished, perhaps Jaz & Co were trying to add a bit of mainstream into their act. NOT A CRITICISM . K.J. have always been awesome. Period. The audience looked a bit baffled too.

[@shruggzdastr8-facedclown]

The vocalist said "It's great to be back in the U.S.A.!" right before the band starts the first song, but isn't Rockpalast a German music festival -- was he being ironic/sarcastic?

[@mrmoo1413]

Yes

[@kookoothebirdgirl1]

I think Jaz was just f*cking around.

[@shruggzdastr8-facedclown]

Maybe this festival was taking place near Ramstein Airbase or one of the other military sites the U.S. had in West Germany back then, and he was making a tongue-in -cheek reference?

[@kookoothebirdgirl1]

Shruggz Da Str8-Faced Clown - I was actually there. It was in Lorelei, Germany. No airbase around. But, almost all the other bands were American, so maybe that’s why.

[@maxinemckenzie6076]

"Germany is an occupied country!" Jaz said on MTV Europe, I seem to recall. 🤡🎶✊.
