TISM Live: 170 Russell secret gig fan edit

TISM music & merch: tism.shop/
TISM's 170 Russell secret gig, Melbourne 26-11-2022. Made entirely of videos from 18 fans. This live gig was promoted as "Rex Oedipus & Jack 'Elephant' Titus". The band performed three secret gigs after a 19 year break in preparation for their Good Things 2022 performance: this was the final secret show and is regarded as the best. The band was on point and full of energy for the whole hour. Was this to be the last time TISM performed in a venue? Time will tell.

This video is made public with the graceful permission of the band.
Vision: Full credits below. 18 fans ended up contributing 100 clips, but only 2 clips ran the entire length of the show. These 2x one hour long clips from ‪@kingbean28‬ and ‪@beheaded‬ made this effort possible and provided solid bones to hang the show off. Editing should help highlight the natural vibe from the music and the band, but in many cases shots had to be terminated early or started late, because phones would get bumped, blocked, or dropped! And most shots lasted under a minute - everything was unplanned and uncoordinated, of course. All this made for a somewhat chaotic and less than optimal editing process. But there was always enough to make it work and keep the focus on the band. The most taxing part was synchronising the100 clips to the master audio track, and placing them in their order of events. We have 18 wonderful fans to thank for this vision, check the video for the end credits and below.
Sound: Extra effort has been made with the sound because pocket recordings often sound ratty. It was recorded in the crowd and is a mix of a crisp audio recording from ‪@kingbean28‬ down the back, augmented with bass frequencies from ‪@beheaded‬ up the front, de-reverbed to try and clamp down on the venue's natural reverberations, and brightened for what is hopefully the clearest and fullest sounding fan recording of this gig. The mix retains the sound of the audience singing with the band the entire show, a unique (but NOT shithouse) experience for TISM fans who had been waiting 19 years for a day they thought would never come. Watch for the moments Humphrey stops singing and lets the audience take it away for a line or two. Everyone was making the most of it and I am glad I can say I was there!

[@2deadlyesh]

Absolutely legend of a Band but also absolute legendary fans who out this together. We’re a cult. 🎉

[@KenOath1234]

a cult way worse that the anti-vaxers!

[@Infiniband11]

We're wankers

[@MrSmeagolsGhost]

Criminally underrated video, you have done a service for Australian music history

[@user-bs2cs8lw2j]

thank you everyone

[@moistie]

This is fucking brilliant and almost makes up for me missing it. This gig was on my birthday, I had a ticket to go but I tested positive for COVID 12 hours before the gig started. Fuck COVID.

[@socoolitsuncool]

They were simply amazing

[@commemorative]

Great of you to stay home. Hope you didnt have too bad symptoms.

[@silentrob668]

Best thing I've seen today.

[@theoddmass]

Brilliantly put together. I felt like I was there. Lets hope we'll get some more shows.

[@eddieoreilly9391]

This is the greatest TISM video I’ve ever seen. Fantastic work putting it all together. Thank you thank you thank you!

[@warwickbarnard]

Just brilliant, thank you for all your hard work

[@ktm450]

Amazing effort! Such a huge amount of work to go though all that footage and edit it all together. Well done mate 👍

[@duanet.bubsey6050]

Thank You !!!!

[@booksterpbm]

This is one of the best things I've seen on KZbin, kudos to who put this together

[@yeeehaar]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@ChrisSmith-mc5ts]

Terrific effort and we are all grateful for the quality you produced. and thanks to those nameless hooligans in 'masks'

[@sixfthick]

Phenomenal work. Big thanks to everyone involved with the edit and big thanks to TISM for having the sense to get ring ins for the show. No way those old men could have kept up that energy level for the whole hour.

[@socoolitsuncool]

I was there Michael. Spoke to many of the band before and after. Absolutely 100% the original crew, except for lead guitar Vlad. Amazing physical effort isn't it?

[@lizziebkennedy7505]

LOL. I would have fallen for this once.

[@4wdaddict]

Brilliant 👌👌👌

[@nilssveinsson8811]

I was there and what a great afternoon. Fantastic work

[@louiesbatcave5581]

A+++ Excellent Stuff!!!

[@ethanbenson]

Fantastic work!

[@ethanbenson]

This captures the energy of the show so well, easily the best gig I’ve ever been to, so stoked to be able to relive it like this. Excited for the next one (allegedly). TISM are shit

[@leokimvideo]

One of the most impressive time machine videos I have ever seen on KZbin. I thought I was back in the 80's until I saw the evil iPhone pop up and remind me this is very much something done recently

[@1Wilful]

Brilliant effort to stitch this together everyone. I went to the PoW the night before and I felt twenty years younger on the night, twenty years older the next day.

[@brodyfromcanada]

So good

[@rarsscal]

really really great job thanks so much!!

[@mathiusj74]

Awesome !

[@user-bt3bj3de4e]

Отжигают похлеще молодых. Безумная энергия, нереально крутые)

[@theLiveChive]

Awesome !!!!

[@motboy8]

Thanks for editing this together. You're a legend.

[@KenOath1234]

"Tradies get the ladies man... Tradies get the ladies!"

[@nsrlegaltech]

Thank you too. Never enough TISM to go round! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@covester]

thanks to everyone involved this is great!

[@jon3198]

This made my night. Thank you for putting this masterpiece together.

[@drjones1736]

I played there, was awesome…..can’t honestly say people were that crowded or glad to see us. But still played there.

[@galliman123]

Incredible edit, thank you so much

[@dougieboxell6505]

I missed this, I think this was the one headlined by regurgitator, and I was watching fb very closely (hence knowing about it). I was so pumped to go but saddened equally by seeing gurge say they had the covid-69. I thought this meant the entire show was called off, not just thier part. Whoops 😢😢😢😢 If that's not this one, oh well, it happened with one of these "secret" gigs. I did get to see them at good things tho!!!!! As a 26 yr old TISM fan, who only got interested/apathetic about them a couple years ago, and didn't grow up with them from my parents, I can't believe I'd ever get to see them live, and with my two bestest friends in the whole wide world (one hated it, the other loved it - the first dude isn't a fan, so that's expected, the second isn't as big a fan as me but still a fan). Incredible experience.

[@socoolitsuncool]

I think you're referring to the second secret gig - the headline had to cancel and all tickets were refunded. Then they just went it alone. This video is the third and final secret gig.

[@dougieboxell6505]

​@socoolitsuncool ah ok, fair enough then. Thanks for correcting the record, long live TISM!! ps, I saw them a month ago on Frankston, and then in Launceston 😍😍😍

[@bluesful]

Legends.

[@rhythmandblues_alibi]

I want them to bring out a home aerobics video. Such moves 👌

[@DosLobos]

Greatest band in the history of western civilization ❤

[@achtung001]

нам нужна эта группа в Москве

[@etyperon]

They look vaccinated.

[@andrewdunbar828]

Not bad at all for a bunch of 60-year-olds!

[@thealmightyjack]

this is too high quality to be a TISM recorded concert. Let's be honest. Gotta say thought that starting a concert with I Drive a Truck is hype though.

[@thisisbob1001]

What a bunch of neuro divergent guys

[@PanasonicTooth]

I loved it until the covvid shit towards the end. So disheartening/disappointing and just unnecessary.

[@ethanbenson]

They’re speaking truth tho

[@PanasonicTooth]

@@ethanbenson Oh ok, didn't realise

[@andrewdunbar828]

I hated it until the polllio shit towards the end. Necessarily.

[@PanasonicTooth]

@@andrewdunbar828 Very cute

[@petefumberger5225]

I travelled through Turkey with one of the band members back in 1997, he is a top bloke, went to Gallipoli and a few other places, but I can't watch this. It is absolute crap.

[@andysmith6218]

agreed. Sheep blindly accepting a poor man’s knockoff of the original. Sad and pathetic.

[@user-bs2cs8lw2j]

thank you everyone
