Shockheaded Peter - The Tiger Lillies

Impossible to categorise, The Tiger Lillies have been singing their own brand of blasphemous ballads, tragic tales and debauched ditties since 1991. The band fuse the spirit of punk with the passion of chanson, while at the same time evoking the disturbing and forgotten music of our dim and distant past, such as religious masses, Bavarian folk music, Berlin cabaret and Victorian English music hall song.
This concert (with documentary footage and interviews) from the PS122 theatre in New York features a selection of songs, including some from their sensational smash-hit theatre production Shockheaded Peter.

I got to see this twice in San Francisco. I count it as the best show I have ever seen. Brilliant, beautiful, disturbing and hilarious.

[@helenahavelock3249]

I was lucky to catch this show at the Curran in SF and, outside of psychedelic experiences, this show was the funniest experience of my life.

[@ThePaigeturner53]

I agree completely! I loved every minute of it!!! Enjoyed singing all the songs with my young granddaughter.

[@sarahjones59]

Saw this in London, and to this day, I still consider it to be my favorite theatre performance.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UPLOADING THIS!

[@JakiMr]

28.30 Flying Robert. Beautiful

[@glyniswhiteman5951]

This was very good it kept me enthralled all the time it was playing.

[@franciscoortega7938]

they always do a very good adaptation of literature work. i first heard them when they did a musical adaptation of edward gorey's stories. and i was surprised once more with the fun production of these cautionary tales. this special is the closest i've ever been to seeing them live.

[@thomassimmons1950]

Just stumbled upon the lads. They have completely captured my artistic imagination; their dark beauty is just what I ordered, to cope with this insane clown asylum we inhabit. Cheers Boys...we are among the LIVING; they haven't got to us yet !!

[@ArenaNath]

¡Fascinante!

[@ArenaNath]

Siempre vuelvo a este video es increíble!!

[@enricogottardi9761]

Favoloso show e documento, incredibili The Tiger Lillies,una band unica al mondo, eclettica, fantastica! è Musica magnetica, ipnotica, ironica, i musicisti sono strabilianti e anticonformisti, sono partiti dalla gavetta suonando nei locali, si sono guadagnati la fama con le loro forze, meritano enorme rispetto e ammirazione 🖤🎼

[@paulfox1210]

Brilliant. Time for another little London run, boys? Dr. Heinrich Hoffmann would approve...und Der Stuwwelpeter!

[@VivaCohen]

I just realized I read the thumb one as a kid. I remember feeling really upset by it but I haven't thought of it since then. Guess I was scarred by it and blocked it out? haha

[@KarmaNinja69]

Tiger Lillies fucking rock my world!!! I want that bowler hat.

[@larenzolanzero2576]

They are great wow

[@vv247]

Brilliant ...If you get a chance to see them do it.

Never saw the show, but I knew the music and in fact own a CD of the soundtrack somewhere. Fun story: I put this on in the car once when my then-partner was riding shotgun. I listened happily the whole way through, after which he asked me what the CD was. Me: It's the Tiger Lillies and the songs are great and I have all these good memories associated with those guys and- Him: Never play that music around me again. Ever. In retrospect I should have dumped him then. Just left his ass on the side of the road in Florida somewhere. It would've saved me getting raped and having all my stuff stolen down the road. So anyway I'm not trying to suggest some correlation between the two but...well, the one person I ever met who hated them was a rapist and a thief. Make of that what you will.

[@simpsontechnical1013]

Unique which is quite an achievement

[@MartaBtrp]

[@MsHeidiLove]
