KILLING JOKE 10/11-12 IN NYC!

[nuwavedame]

IS ANY ONE IN THE NYC AREA GOING TO SEE KILLING JOKE? I'M AIMING FOR THE 11TH.

[SallyLightfoot]

I live in the NYC area. I gotta to this-- I've never seen them live. It would be shameful to miss this oppty to see KJ.

[nuwavedame]

I so agree Sally. I love this band. As I said, I'm looking at the 11th, which is a Saturday so please keep me posted if you will be able to make it.

I generally don't endorse yelling song requests at the lead singer (because it's annoying), but would someone going to that show do me a favor, and yell out a few song titles from Brighter Than A Thousand Suns, and see what kind of reaction you get from Jaz?! Just don't yell out anything from Outside The Gate, he might throw his mic at you.

Definitely go see them if you have the chance. They last came to Phoenix in '94 (for Pandemonium), and it was a great, energetic show.

LMAO! Far be it from me to be the one yelling "sing-my-favorite-f**king song" at a concert but I will certainly make an exception when it comes to this one. So I will be the one belting out "
Jaz, sing "Sanity"! and hopefully he will oblige...kindly. I'm in no mood to dodge mics ...or bullets for that matter these days. Anyway, I will record the outcome right her on nwoutpost.

No requests,thats not the deal this tour,from the website.....

The tour will see Killing Joke take up a two night residency in most venues offering a different set on each evening. On the first night, they will play their first two albums in their entirety, 1980’s self-titled album followed by the album ‘What’s This…For!’. Their
second performance in each city will treat fans to 1994’s Pandemonium and the Island Records singles of’79 to ’80.

Ill be there Oct 11....not to be missed.

Sat night is when I'm celebrating my 14th wedding anniversary with my spouse. So it's going to have to be Sunday night for me nuwavedame. Going to check on tix availability now.

14th wedding anniversary,eh? Yeah I think that constitutes as a legitimate reason. [:D] I hope tix are still available for Sunday, but still enjoy Saturday with the spouse.

I just went to see the reunited (all 4 original members, including Big Paul Ferguson and Youth) Killing Joke at the House of Blues in Hollywood.

They blew my f&cking mind.

One of the greatest gigs I've ever witnessed. Easily in my Top 20. (I've been going to gigs for over 30 years.)

I closed my eyes and 27 years melted away like nothing. They were almost as good as the very first time I saw them back then, at the Whisky-A-Go-Go back in 1981. Unbelievable. (And to think, I thought the reunited Gang Of Four were good.)

Great bands are all about chemistry, I've noticed. I watched a <a href="http://www.fabchannel.com/killing_joke_concert">2006 concert video</a> (from the Paradiso in Amsterdam) on-line with the two nameless drummer & bass players playing Sludge Metal and my expectations sank.

But put the 4 guys that actually made the (early) music - some of the greatest music ever - on stage together and boom, the chemistry's right there again. They made it sound so effortless, like they'd never been away.

I'm struggling to put together a set list, but my brain is still fried. Here's what I've got so far:

I would give my left nutsack to see those 2 NYC shows this weekend.

"Are You Receiving?"

[Frau_Blucher]

Dammit. I'm under the weather and will be stuck at a soccer tourney in Jersey.

...but with this review, I just may have to sneak out of the hotel and drag myself into the city Saturday night. Tix still available.

[cubby]

Wish I could make it up to NYC for the shows, all reports from the LA show was that it was great. I heard that even Morrissey showed up for it. Everyone who is going, enjoy!!

[SallyLightfoot]

Dang, I really, really want to see the Saturday night show, but it's not in the cards. I'm still planning on Sunday -- got my tix already.

[nuwavedame]

So I went to see Jaz and the gang last night and it was f$%^ing phenomenal! Jaz's voice was in tip top shape and he looked great. He also expressed how its been 26 years since he and Youth has been in the same room and how fantastic it felt being with the guys who helped put Killing Joke on the map. Despite of the lame ass, incoherent opening band, last night was certainly a night to remember. I tried to take a picture of the set list but the glare caused the picture to be distorted. I was able to copy them down and they are as follows:

1. Requiem
2. Wardance
3. Tom's World
4. Bloodsport
5. Complications
6. So 36
7. Primitive
8. Love Like Blood -Jaz dedicated this one to the memory of Raven who succumbed to a heart attack last year.
9. Eighties
10. Unspeakable
11. Exit
12. Butcher
13. Madness
14. The Wait
15. Change
16. Time Wave
17. Backfire
18. Fall of Because
