The Feeding Of The 5000 - Shepherds Bush Empire 24-25 Nov 2007 - Steve Ignorant and friends.

[@woody6791]

I’m full of tears right now. This gives me chills and I miss the good old times… much love Steve

[@ChaosPunkGigs]

Was there...with my son.....great memory.

[@Sharkey70]

Anarchy equals peace and freedom. Fight war not wars.

[@NativeRenaissance]

These songs were the soundtrack to my life when i was around 15yo for some years, i'm now 57 and still know the lyrics after so many decades. Crass will always be a part of my life. They didnt play Asylum, or did i miss it? "I am no feeble christ, not me, he hangs in glib delight upon his cross above my body"

[@woody6791]

These kind of shows doesn’t seems to exists anymore….

[@KonchokRangdrolJampa]

Ill always love you Steve and Crass people. Crass will never die like punk did in the hands of middle class art atudents.

[@KonchokRangdrolJampa]

Fuk8n brilliant, keeping class alive as It should so naturally be !!!

私がパンクに傾倒していたころ、クラスに完全にはまってしまいました。 今、このライブを聴けることに愕きと、感謝を申し上げます。 日本語の書き込みがないことが、さみしく感じております😂

Fair play to the American woman... Crass changed by life..

[@kevh9497]

Her name is Caren Morales

[@stationsixtyseven67]

You're right: These songs SHOULD continue to be performed - perhaps more now than before. Even though we're not so much under threat of 'the nukes' like we once were, the oppression has been ramped up to insane proportions. Cheers Steve.

[@SteveIgnorantOfficial]

Thanks for your support.

[@dan_rtype]

Spoke too soon. As long as there are nuclear weapons, there is the possibility of the destruction of all life on the planet with a press of a button.

[@SteveIgnorantOfficial]

@@dan_rtype Sadly there is.

[@alan3598]

As long as nukes exist we will always be under their thumb. Just because the rhetoric has died down - doesn't mean it can't ramp up again.

[@sandraruijs5172]

You are one hundred percent right 😊

[@matthewjdouglas6471]

My big brother showed me the way with crass as a 15 year old in 1994. Feeding of the 5000 and stations of the crass just brilliant

[@kevincarlson668]

I'm a Yank,but similarly,my Cockney best friend got me heavily into them at 14.

What a great album this was , still playing it today 2024

Was at this, came from Wicklow Ireland. Brilliant night.

[@KonchokRangdrolJampa]

What a great stand in for eve. Big up !!!

[@mirandaranda57]

This music is so important, now more than ever. The Feeding of the 5000 was the album of my teens, and now, at 40, I can’t wait to introduce my kids to Crass in a few years. Thank you for your contributions to making the world a better place- keep fighting the good fight!

[@SteveIgnorantOfficial]

Thanks Miranda for your kind words. The kids are the future.

[@stevepearn930]

Oh,I agree,the "message" is more relevant than ever - betraying your beliefs for a payday is stomach churning! Are you aware,that Rimbaud's first reaction to this money making rubbish,was to withold his blessing? He should have trusted his initial gut reaction - everyone should!

[@sandraruijs5172]

You are one hundred percent right my friend

i was at this show. it was the best gig I've ever been to. Steve you are a true legend & one of my biggest influences... 👍

[@hopebgood]

I just wish you'd have experienced a proper Crass gig Ian mate. I really do. You'd have loved it.

[@jamesmcfall6875]

Just seen this for the first time and wondering who the woman is on vocals for shaved women.I went to see crass back in 1979 at Bearsden town hall,glasgow and the police came in numbers and stopped the gig before crass played their set.Poison girls were support.Ive still got the album,which is a real punk classic.

[@ianhobbs4125]

@@hopebgood I bet I would've loved it. Gutted that I was too young to miss stonehenge & the peace convoy too..

[@mjaief]

I was there and what I remember the strongest is realising upon hearing those songs live for the first time just how aggressive and powerful they are. Very different from bedsit listening! Unforgettable

[@franksaen4714]

So glad to see that the Special Duties got it wrong. Crass, Amebix, the Mental, Disorder were & are the reinventers of punk, godfathers of DIY-punk that also will stay. Enjoined the gigs in the nineties of Schwartzeneggar & Stratford Mercenaries in Belgium ! Kroezel

Thanks mate.

[@stevepearn930]

He's well and truly obliterated all of the good work Crass did! The venue? Ticket prices? and probably the price of the merchandise too! I used to think that Crass were the only band that came out of "punk" with their integrity and high standards intact - now I think differently! Rimbaud should have stuck by his gut reaction and withheld his blessing for this money making monstrosity! After this $hit show,I bitterly regret buying all of their records and going to see them twice - I really do! I feel like they conned me from day one!

[@ersegunduran4212]

Wonderful ! :)

[@kevdoe3360]

See you in Colchester at "The Arts Centre" in October "23,Steve.

[@leperlord7078]

She traveled all the way from LA to see what she thought would be their last show,but they have played a number of shows since Still a great and relevant band

Hey Steve. I had a great time at the show, but want to buy a dvd of this. Do you have any available? - Love and peace, Caren, the LA girl from backstage.

[@stevepearn930]

I had him climbing all over my back to get his silver chain back at Ferryhill 101 Club on 30th April 1982! Some of us remember when Crass were "above criticism" and didn't provide their critics with any ammunition to fire back at them,unless they deliberately wanted to provoke and get a reaction! This "spectacle" makes me feel sick to the pits of my stomach -. makes me feel like Crass conned me from day one! Who transforms from a diehard anarchist to a capitalist?!! We all change over time,but deary me,not this much! Rimbaud and Libertine are just as complicit! It's a perfect example of "How to undo/detonate all the good you did,in one night"!!

[@carenconcarne]

@@stevepearn930 Man, I wasn't even born til 82, so I felt lucky to see this show when I did. Sellouts or not! I conned my way backstage to interview Flux of Pink Indians and had the time of my life! The truth is we all grow old and change our beliefs at some point and times have definitely changed. The bands have changed, but their words ring true to this day. Even Zack DeLaRocha from Rage Against the Machine sits front row at Lakers games now. All we can do now is try not to pass too much judgement upon eachother and teach our children the lessons learned from the songs we sing.

[@stevepearn930]

As someone who bought all of the Crass records and saw them twice - even wrote to them twice, I have a few important questions? Considering the venue and the price of tickets,what was the point in Crass playing places nobody else played? What was the point of them charging £1 to get in? and what was the point in charging low prices for their records? Ignorant has dumped all over the Crass legacy!

[@kevdoe3360]

I think it was coz it was never about the money,but getting the point across to as many people as possible!

[@garylovell6017]

He has and continues to do so but hey money is more important than principles for some.

[@schreineinAV]

The world has moved on since you saw CRASS in the early 80’s! Even if they played some grotty little ‘punk’ venue through a shitty PA system you’d still moan about it! Steve ignorant has paid his dues on the DIY punk circuit with CRASS, current93, conflict, Schwartzenegger and Stratford mercenaries….. as a long time CRASS fan myself, I see no problem in him playing a good venue….. I see no problems him earning out of it (even though I’m sure he donated quite a bit of the profits to charity, as usual)….. I don’t see he’s sold out, he’s been consistent in delivering his message for years now….. I seriously doubt that you’re living like the (in)famous crusty Swampy yourself these days….. be sure that when you point the finger at someone, you’ve 3 pointing back at yourself (your thumb can’t point backwards)

[@garylovell6017]

You also have to remember some were liars all along. Some were hypocrites all along. Some never had any real principles or had any concept of what having principles means. Some just made false promises. And some have really brown noses/tongues.

[@plejady]

Question is why Mr Steve ignorant does not write new songs?

[@ronasaurus74]

Oh, he has. Deeply moving, personal stuff. But this show was about Crass.
