Killing Joke Live DVD












So I did a write up not too long ago about the cd version of this DVD release. Well, here are a few screens and I have to say the DVD is a pretty solid companion to this, and features a few more cuts from the straight audio. Jaz still has that 1000 yard stare, even if he is a bit less mobile these days (whether that is wear and tear or current chemical additives is anyones guess), but for a band a quarter of a century in, they are still delivering the goods, and the raggedness gives the sense of animalistic immediacy an almost feral quality.

Like they have to get one last wild hunt. And you are all that they prey upon.












The camera work is solid and the staging/venue was appropo. Shepards Bush Empire has a certain regal decay to it, and KJ are post-punk/industrial royalty.
