The Church - You Took (Live on KEXP)

[@randalj08]

And a bass player! Like we’ve never seen before. Magical. Mystic. Shaman.

[@JCridford]

I remember the day I got into the Church :) I can't pretend to be a true fan, because I wasn't even born when they were around in their Heyday (see what I did there?), but I've got all their studio albums, and hopefully will get to see them live soon. I remember watching Donnie Darko when I was 14, there's a seen in the car, and he turns the radio on and 'Under the Milky Way' was on. I had to get hold of that song! When I did, I then spent the next 6 years filling the shelves! Love them always!

[@hevcoatferty1584]

My mind has just exploded with the awesomeness of this performance.this is like travelling to another dimension......Wow and Wow again

[@randalj08]

Two guitar maestros in one band! Wow!

[@framodcole]

I know, Man. It's crazy. People always made fun of that and then people see them live and they are confused. Love it. Cheers.

[@rayla1780]

@@framodcole confused> Why?

[@tonyprice7]

Still just blows me away!

[@jrbgeog]

Very nice live performance. Thanks to KEXP for posting all of their great music performance clips.

[@bullwinkle57]

My. Goodness. This song was great back in 1982; this version takes it to an entirely new dimension. Had Steve possibly could have known that they would be playing it after 30+ years, he might have crafted better lyrics. But it does not matter--the song is just a jam, and a bloody good one at that. Let me play it again.

[@jamichelash]

Have tried and tried but cannot put how good that was in words, suffice to say i can't get enough of this version. Fantastic. So under appreciated by so many. So fully appreciated by so few. Thanks Steve, Marty, Tim, Peter ....love your work.

[@thebetterburandaproject7170]

Love The Church. Love this song!!

[@alonys]

Makes me wish impossible things. God, what a band.

[@glabpat]

I saw The Church for the first time at Ritchies in Preston, Melbourne, Australia in 1982 and I'm sure they did this song. Priceless song and pretty good memories.

[@johnkerr1957]

I saw them on their first tour around Oz. At the Stagedoor Tavern, Seaton Hotel (Adelaide). Door ticket was $1.07 as its was SA-FM radio station promoting (107 on the FM dial). Great memories.

[@kittywitty6507]

They did!

[@johnkerr1957]

Hands down one of the best songs I've ever seen played live. Saw them play the song at The Bridgeway Hotel, Adelaide on the original "The Blurred Crusade" tour way back then - decades ago. The Church were blistering that night - that twin guitar sound has stayed with me forever.

[@danpad1268]

I really like these guys.

[@chado69the1st]

The best song of one of the best albums! Their is not a bad song on Blurred Crusade, it flows like water from beginning to end. I had the pleasure of meeting them on Gold afternoon fix tour and they are cool and down to earth as hell. Always a fan, they create music that gives you a mood with it. They always seem to put you in a place with every song and that puts them in a original category which is something I greatly respect with music. Live, they are worth every penny never a disappointment!

[@johnkerr6804]

chado69the1st - as an Aussie who lived "it" in the late 70s/early 80s, early The Church gigs were just so "hard" & "tight" - almost The Angels like in intensity. I fondly remember seeing this played live on TBC tour at The Bridgeway Hotel, Pooraka (Adelaide) - they were awesome that night

[@alanwilkin8869]

JOHN KERR , Lucky man, Took me 30 yrs to see them live, Not even the original line up, Still loved it though,

[@rayla1780]

Blurred Crusade is a masterpiece. I guess that the 30th Anniversary Series remasters of the album is even better, but that's no flack on the original.

[@chestnut9987]

This song was and still is A-grade!!!

[@themourningdove7208]

Caught 1990 Portland Show(general admission) when I was 32 with a much younger audience.. Dancing floor in front @ small venue.. Stellar beyond stars... 🤍🕊️

[@clinttoner6239]

Peter, David, Marty...blistering magic !

[@Undercoverbrotherfromanother]

Never gets old. What a jam!

[@Moo01100]

Classic Church original and they still look cool - the road shall not weary them. Great sounding fresh new bass strings sound too.

[@eddyray2012]

music gets no better than this. holy smokes!

[@Heruka72]

this song, in 98, at chicago or detroit(i dont remember) was mindblowing. best song ever live. and ive seen a lot of concerts....

[@clinttoner6239]

is Peter amazing or what ? whew guitar magic !

[@hernanfernandez8797]

SUPERLATIVE BAND ☆☆☆ I LOVE This BAND from Argentina & ROSARIO CENTRAL ( Central Railways Athletic Club )

[@HariOmRadhaKrishna]

Great live version of this song.

[@malhale]

I was at the show later that night at Triple Door. I flew out to Seattle from Charleston SC to go with one of my best friends and fellow Church fan. Awesome sound quality. These posting are a real treasure. Thanks!!

[@ScottDouglasMaine]

Don't think I've ever seen someone sing, play bass and do a full Proud Warrior yoga pose all in one song before.

[@spassy13]

saw them at the zoo in brisbane ,been a follower since 30 years ago ,they are the rock gods

[@route37c]

saw them @ Ottawa Bluesfest last wk and this song was the show-stopper for sure...casual watchers were asking me for the name of this tune! kool!

[@blacknasariu]

Astonishing and amazing!

[@snelitt]

This may very well be the best video I have encountered on this site.

[@jnvrmind789]

This is a Seattle show soundcheck.Just great stuff though.Love the Church !

[@nick48823]

Whoa, what a rocker! Great song!

[@kexp]

@jnvrmind789, it wasn't exactly a "soundcheck". The band performed a short session exclusively for KEXP. (They had actually soundchecked before this!) Check out more sessions Live from the Triple Door, on our channel.

[@riverplate0101]

No way!!! This is awesome!!!

[@Happyevs]

love it love it

[@joydivisionboy1]

Good Stuff-Great song and Great quality video.

[@robertmuntell6274]

Excellent concert¡¡¡¡

[@weaselsuit]

Great video. This track in particular, I think has Peter channeling Ritchie Blackmore more than you would usually hear from Peter's playing. Might just be me.

[@Stefpouliot]

Awsomeness

[@Iodine74]

Anyone know what gear (effects) Pete was using this tour and how he was using the amps (any of them getting non-effected signal, using amp distortion, etc)?

[@andremcmillan1504]

Unbelievable!

[@CaptainWurly]

Yeah... they always play this song and it rocks.... Much better than the original from way back in about '82.... Turned it into something quite else live.

[@kittywitty6507]

What year was this filmed?

[@oslema1]

tremendo

[@nick48823]

Wasn't this video in HD at some point?

[@CaptainWurly]

Marty Willson-Piper's turned into the Wolf Man!

[@veerchasm1]

Andrew Gilroy Robert Smith’s thinner cousin

[@bullwinkle57]

When one clicks on the word "jam" on the "Google Dictionary" it should direct you to this version of this song. That's all i'm saying...

[@connorkillmice]

9:35 the sound is out of sync? doesnt matter, that was still amazing.. the point is i was watching the whole entire video cuz it was so beautiful

[@fuberelli2]

Fuck i wish I there

[@robsierra516]

Peter Koppes great guitar
