The Mission UK - Waves upon the sand DVD

[@MarkAllenHyenaMotorcade]

Watched this again tonight for about the 50th time and it was especially sweet having flown out from Southern California to see them last month in Manchester at the Ritz and then two nights later at the Roundhouse in London to finish off their Deja Vu 2023 tour......Been a fan since the very beginning.....will to the very end...

[@antoniovera667]

I still have a pirate VHS of this; years later I bought the ‘Waves upon the sand’ / ‘Crusade’ DVD

[@bshaw4528]

Nice to see myself and the wife there again, at Jacobs Studios during the recording of Carved In Sand album and the Scottish highlands tour

[@daniellecundiff5272]

Wow!!! Thank you for sharing!!! Treasure!

[@jasonsmith5428]

Such a great band! So much better than many bands at that time. Music still relevant

[@nmacog]

I remember buying this on VHS the day of release and played it to death - lost it over the years, thank you so much for this - precious and happy memories x

[@stevem-h3562]

Likewise. One of my favourite memories was seeing them at Barrowlands on this tour which was just..... nuts.... a great live act.

[@lifeisbutadreamsodreamon]

I once had this on vhs once too, what a blast from the past!

[@stephcariou29]

En France, on fait pareil avec du vin rouge... I love The Mission

[@bengunns]

The music at the start should be our National Anthem,' i vow to thee our Country'

[@capie1410]

One on the best bands to come out of the UK after those 4 scousers in the 60s. Effin love this had it on VHS back in the day. Time for a DVD release 💜

[@roddis229]

I saw them at the Sheffield Shindig in 89. I was fortunate enough to meet Wayne before the gig. I would love to see more footage of that occasion. Great times. Thanks for uploading 👍🏻

[@kevandalzell7906]

My fave band. Met them in Canada one week after Simon left... Got my bass signed by Craig, Mick, Wayne, and Red Lorry Yellow Lorry guitarist Wolfie, plus The Wonderstuff "Hup" era!!!!!

[@ursulaschlapbach311]

Absolutely beautiful

[@stefanlorenzen7815]

Thanks very, very much to gothslave2006, I 've got that masterpiece on VHS Cassette, but no recorder anymore... Good memories of an outstanding Band!!!!!

[@gothslave2006]

Youre welcome 👍🏻

[@philb2135]

Used to own this on VHS, haven't seen it in about 26 years. Great upload.

[@JimmersThomas]

Yeah same, I can't have seen it for 25 years and I knew every word of it!

[@ursulaschlapbach311]

Beautiful

[@hoskinsp9]

I saw them in 89 hollywood palladium, the in 90 gathering of the tribes put on by Ian Astabery costa mese pacific ampa theater. . they are the best show I have ever seen live,maybe it was the prime of my life, either way it was there then for a reason..

[@2112jonr]

They still deliver the goods live, in spade loads. Saw them on tour last year several times, just as good, possibly better than they were in the early 90s.

[@pedraodjriodejaneiro]

O The Mission é a minha Banda de Rock Preferida. Não é uma Banda de um sucesso só. Wayne Hussey continua em forma. eles passaram pelo Rio de Janeiro no Teatro Odisseia e mostraram como se faz rock de verdade. Over This Land, All Over This Wasteland........ ...

[@ursulaschlapbach311]

Sounds great!

[@alejandrorodriguez-do7rj]

this takes me back to 1989 when my belief in The Mission started

[@petervera1047]

Carved in my Soul

[@pedraodjriodejaneiro]

Valeu pela postagem, esse é um filme raro. Eu mesmo que acompanho a Banda desde 1986 ainda não tinha visto. Muito Obrigado. Showwwwww

[@steev75]

[@JulioCBNunes]

Excelente!

[@rhessex]

10:17 Physical Graffiti reference. Led Zep - ace!

[@JCridford]

I've always loved this film. I wonder what happened to all those photographs you see of the band larking around? Perhaps a limited edition Mission photo book is in order?

[@tumbler9428]

Is a complete video of the Reading Festival gig available? Pity the opening song 'Beyond The Pale' has been cut so hard here.

[@MrDiegote75]

Alguien que se cope y le ponga subtitulos en español,loco!!!

[@diegorottoli5671]

para cuando en español!!!!!

[@SiberiaX]

Thank you very much for this rare material! But is there subtitres in English?

[@gothslave2006]

I´m afraid not, sorry

[@thecocktailcritic8516]

The Mission UK is interesting because they seem to have a folk style foundation. Essentially it is like Wayne Hussey on acoustic guitar singing his poetry with a band. I feel it lacks a bit of melodies though.

[@triangular123]

Can someone tell me the name of the song in the beginning that plays?

[@allotmental.]

That's the end of the Dam Busters March. True story. Watch the film :-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGi2mmV-aZxse9U

[@2112jonr]

Still gets played at the start of most of their gigs, at least the British ones.

[@Deaconspike]

The Mish often went on stage to the Dambusters march, but this piece (which I think they still use from time to time) is from Holst’s Planets suite. It’s a section from ‘Jupiter’.

[@bengunns]

Its the song 'i vow to thee our Country' Google it, its a great Hymn written by Holst

[@Deaconspike]

Aye, a few years after Holst wrote Jupiter, he adapted part of it to a hymn with words by Cecil Rice. You can find the instrumental version here at 3 minutes in: kzbin.info/www/bejne/faaaaImqn8ZmZsU
