I left Chicago in '94, one of my best days ever in L.A. was when The Jesus Lizard came through and played the parking lot of Aron's Records in Hollywood in '96.

R.I P Steve Albini. Nice that this doc opens with one of his songs. Big Black made the best unatural guitar sounds.

[@pentagrimes]

This is an amazing example of how music journalists have far bigger egos than bands sometimes

[@terrencebarnes9729]

I was sad to see Steve Albni leave this world to early. Jesus Lizard for ever and ever

[@eiremike1]

Absolutely brilliant! It is so important to document those times, the people and the music. Well done to the film maker. Thanks for sharing this

[@deathmetaldouglas69]

"There's only one song" What a douchecannon. The reason why I still listen to The Jesus Lizard more than say than Hammerhead, Tar, Cows, God and Texas, etc. is because they wrote amazing songs. They had far more dynamics than those other bands and each song was different. Duane Dennison was a FAR better guitarist and that was what made them phenomenal. Cows could have been that off the chain if they had a guitarist who could do even 20% of what Duane was capable at the time.

[@spike.jordan]

Few things are attention capturing like "The Power of Independent Trucking." That was a fucking masterful creative choice.

[@Debonair19773577]

Has there ever been a more incendiary force of nature live than early 90s Jesus Lizard? I used to joke that Jesus Lizard were the Stooges of the 90s - never as a pejorative, but as a sincere description - but the older I get, the more I realize they were on par with any live band. Ever. David Yow is just about the only person this side of Iggy Pop who can hold the audience in the palm of his hand like that.

[@nisbend]

More like the audience holds him in the palm of their (collective) hand :-)

[@NetanyahuWarCriminal]

I used to describe them the same way, the Stooges of the 90’s.

[@maskedman1337]

"Once you see the Jesus Lizard once, you get their schtick. It's one song." Dude, don't take it out on the band because you're too fat for the pit. I've seen the Jesus Lizard 10 times...every time was unique and wonderful.

[@bigdad7257]

Had to come here after the tragic passing of Dave Riley. He will be missed so greatly. RIP Steve!! Albini is god

[@joe5182]

The "Groove" is David William Sims.

[@Error-fourOfour]

Sims is just superb.

[@operatingfromtheditch]

Duane hit the nail right on the head with what most people (including myself) think of critics.

[@rayclaudio7]

wow! it only took me 20-years to get a chance to watch it. This was a very good movie and I would have adored it at 17 just as much as I do now....actually, watching this at 17 would have probably given me some much needed perspective on what a music industry is...or was at that time. The highlight for me, obviously the T3FA stuff...but during the Wesley Willis interview, I saw a T3FA poster that I have in my garage, still T3FA stuff. Thank you Kevin!

[@werdna3891]

Finally this has been uploaded. I haven’t seen this in almost 20 years! My buddy bought a vhs copy from the director then and I haven’t seen it since. I have been on the prowl too. I sent email and asked folks and looked at record stores. So kudos to whomever uploaded it. Looks like Kevin from Triple Fast Action did. Thanks Kevin! TFA was the reason I wanted to see this in the first place. After searching for the Jesus Lizard and having this pop up was like finding Decline Of Western Civilization at the video store when you were a kid!

[@JohnDoe-yr4wc]

lol the critics in this

[@georgefairweathermoonlight4]

thanks from NZ, rock on chicago!!

[@d.a.thorndike8772]

Cool! I saw this in 1997 and I have been looking for this on digital forever. All I have is my crappy VHS copy.

[@brianhelton2177]

Same here. Saw the showings in Chicago when it was released.

[@d.a.thorndike8772]

The Veruca Salt clips and interviews are awesome.

[@1982BlackEye]

THANK YOU so much for uploading!!! I've been searching for the VHS for years. I used to run a video store in high school and would put this on every single day for a year just to be around it.

[@beeatoms]

the jesus lizard, theres one song? wtf??!!

[@words911]

I always wondered what song he was referring. Probably Puss since it was on a Nirvana LP, but that's not even in my top five

[@Yapperofthecentury97]

@@words911 Pretty sure it’s Monkey Trick - the song playing when the critic is runnin his mouth

[@andrisig]

haha that critic was terrible

[@fivequackingzephyrs]

great upload!! thanks

[@TomTobin67]

One thing I remember about Chicago's 90s punk scene is the "here today-gone tomorrow" indie labels, for instance, Firebrick records that had a few little bands that never went anywhere.

[@afaultychromo]

Was watching an analysis of the movie "Nope" and made a comment about it being bizarre that the actress was wearing a Jesus Lizard shirt.. and how i grew up in Chicago in the 90s... and then yootoobe recommended this?!? Holy shit, god bless the algorithm!!!

[@marissac870]

Love this. Mike David. Mark Davis RedbarxScarsclub is our generations Steve Albini.

[@achoqnaobb]

An annoying insufferable poser?

[@Kkidzz]

Thx Kevin.... great to see Pulsars and completely forgot about Yum Yum.

[@ImNotGregGraffin]

Albini is really handsome here

[@gabrielegagliardi3956]

He looks exactly like the typical italian nerd

[@mcjsrn]

Triplefastaction. Best band ever!

[@jbass6665]

I've waited a long time to see this thing.

[@kev60154]

Wow 😯 This was amazing 😻 Never knew Thank you Kevin

[@OhanaFilms]

Making me homesick and youth-sick.

[@Leo-qe3gl]

6:25. 7:30. now i finally understand how the others got along with david. ALL band members are grumpy freaks 🤣. I love them.🥰

[@brianhelton2177]

What location is that Jesus Lizard show? Watching it now, makes me think Milwaukee?

[@Jack_nnn_]

Peoria, Illinois. Here’s the full show. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGS2XmBvd7aXi5o

[@Jamesp1972]

awesme footage too

[@mikepj67]

Peoria 95’ there is footage of the full show

[@DeanWesterfield]

Not much to watch after the Jesus Lizard and the Wax Trax sections. The rest of the bands are pretty dull. I scrubbed ahead once I realized the bands were boring. I did watch Wesley Willis though. (How can you talk about Wax Trax and not mention Strike Under?)

[@ttott0013]

Nice info, which band were you in?

[@harrycloud13]

this guy Jim DeRogatis LOL

[@asimhussain2344]

Biggest thing that happened in the Chicago scene in the 90s, which started the year this doc was made, wasn't Smashing Pumpkins. It was Pitchfork Media and the effect they had on all indie music in the 00s.

[@dieschattenzeit]

Jim Derogatory.

[@louderthangod]

So many of these Chicago bands of this era have such strident, upper mids in their guitars with very liyyle low end. It’s the exact opposite tonally of doom. ..not a criticism, the make it work.

[@CS-sf1rz]

Amazing!!! 😘🥰😍🤓🥳🤩😊thank u!!!

[@melvins74eyehategod]

Chicago Kick ass!

[@thedream-workdoesnotthink4512]

John Prine rules!

[@twobreadtom]

what song is seam playing around 34:00? never heard of them before but that shit was dope af

[@samuelloomis1119]

Jim DeRogatis is tremendous.

[@BigSeany1979]

What is the name of the Seam track played live?

[@rsean3281]

Two is Enough

[@malcolm2486]

red red meat ❤️‍🩹

[@stevehunt7549]

Wesley Willis is like a more coherent Oxbow

[@LosHuxleys]

Hahaha

[@LordEvilton18]

HAHAHAHAHAHA nice one my guy

[@jwhiteout]

I remember seeing the poster. It had Chris Holmes on it. He's as well known 20+ years later as he was then. (*To be fair, this movie's only slightly more pathetic than Decline of Western Civilization Pt. 2. Come to think of it, Chris Holmes was in that, too. But that was the Chris Holmes with a swimming pool. And a mother.)

[@sydbarrett5]

Classic

[@frankmartin182]

Huh. Never realized that Tweedy stole his whole thing from The Pulsars.

[@theebigjoe]

ALBINI WAS GOD

[@theonygard5694]

Albini go

[@awsometownnuked]

Aye shout out big black

[@LosHuxleys]

Fuck yeah

[@vincenzollamas]

no doubt about it, Jesus Lizard were the kings of Touch & Go

[@simonh9987]

lol @ bill wyman

[@saltypatriot4181]

Bass player from the Stones ?

[@MrFatshit6]

David Yow's cuteness is definitely what drew me to the Lizard. If only they could find their melody or rhythm...

[@William.Driscoll]

Oh-! Their melody & rhythm-? They're right here: 8:20

[@donniebobb74]

I've been spit/drueled/fountained on by more CHI bands than any. Including Ohio.

[@jasonbatteiger2421]

if that was accident (i doubt it was) when the elephant broke that's awesome.

[@75YBA]

Duane is such a narcissist. Years later, they have zero influence. Jealous just like Roger Osborne that troll that sings for the Melvins.

[@chadwickwright2833]

😂……no influence? Well you’re a mighty piece of excrement. They’ve influenced a TON of musicians and bands. Go listen to disturbed you abysmal twit.

[@lukewand]

Wut?

[@AdamWatten]

Huh

[@glenbellefonte9620]

Of all the bands Albini doesn't like, Veruca Suck gets a pass? Really?! Doesn't like UO but their dreck isn't shat upon?! Signs and wonders...

[@btac6481]

All time fav band. The jesus lizard Not really fond of somes political views but cant take aaay my memories
