Wow! So cool! Steve Kilbey sexy as

I have been a Church fan since "The Blurred Crusade" which is one of the most under rated albums of all time....They have not lost anything over all these years......Just wish that the whole world could appreciate how good they are....

THE CHURCH WILL TAKE YOU TO YOUR OWN PERSONAL SPACE .

Laurel Canyon. This song is a masterpiece.

Love watching them Live after all these years listening to their tracks

The Church are an amazing band. Their great catalog of songs tell stories and create a sonic atmospheres of places and images. One of my favorite bands of all time. SO GLAD...Steve, Peter, Tim and now Ian are still creating and playing live. Tremendous music that lasts and lives. Keep it up guys.

+Eric de Forest ...What's great, is I am finally getting to go see them live and doing the meet & greet in April on the 14th at The Birchmere in Alexandria, VA. I missed them 3 times since the Starfish tour in '88 and so looking forward to talking with, Steve and...well, really all of them. They are supposed to be playing the Blurred Crusade and some of Further Deeper & a few selected classics...very similar to this above concert at SXSW. I am pretty stoked.

Yes...It was awesome. Nice to meet a bunch the other "VIPS" as Steve said. : ) Now that I have finally seen them after so long...I can't wait to see them again. Great guitar prowess and interplay between Peter and Ian on so many of the songs.

As an Aussie approaching 60 I can truly vouch for how great this band was (& still are) in those heady days of the 80s. Saw them a number of times in Adelaide & they were amazing live. Never forget seeing them out at The Bridgeway Hotel on the tour after the release of TBC. They were & still are "all class"

LEGENDS, True fucking legends.

This cajun girl has ALWAYS been a huge fan! I've been in 💘 with S.G. since I was 17.

Always have love this band. hypnotic melodies and pure vocals layered over the canvas of their creative imaginations.

The only band that continues to put out consistently great albums. Their catalog is unparalleled in terms of diversity. I would say The Church have actually put out better and better records with age. They're a different kind of band, and I'm glad I've been listening to them since '84 when a friend gave me one of their albums to listen too. Huge Fan, ever since. MWLDI is, IMO, their Best Album. Hope to they continue to carry on for at least another 20 years. :)

One of the best bands on the planet- love it!!

Wow!! The Church is such an awesome band, but they are so underrated...

Favorite band of all time. Incredible to be able to see this from my chair.

I was at this show. What a night. Great songs and performance, with superb sound. The Church never disappoint.

Ahh.. Memories. Caught these guys in Portland, Oregon 1990. The venue had the first row etc. seats back about about 20 feet from the stage for standing/dancing. I was 32years old amongst a much younger audience. Danced the entire show. Awesome time and music✌️🤍🕊️.. 🎶Is this where you live?" 🎶

i love knowing, through these kinds of gigs, the Church finds new YOUNG fans to keep it going... thank God!!!

My god what a band. Unreal.

amazing band. amazing definitive set. peter koppes is one of my favorite guitarists.

Wow. Church fan since Early 80's. Seen them many times. Just keep getting better.

correction: "Is This Where You Live" is actually from the debut album, Of Skins and Heart. (I must have been thinking of that other early-Church epic, "Life Speeds Up".) I still love this band as much as when I first discovered them in 1988., their music just never gets old for me.

I heard this band live in Chicago at House of Blues. I honestly did not know a live band could sound that good. The sound quality was shimmering perfection. Indeed, the live soundboard guy was to be praised, but the band rose to the occasion. Kilbey is a pro through and through.

I saw the Church live in the 90's at Curtin University. They sounded amazing. It really changed my opinion of the band.

thx for all Steve, Marty & Peter - you made my youth

What a beautiful and pure performance. My day feels brighter now.

Like Ian, miss Marty but " you took " showcases ( for lack of better word ) how GOOD Peter is on guitar, a talent personified. Humble and Brilliant.

Loved The Church the first time I heard them back in the 80's and they're still just as amazing and sound exactly the same! :)

THIS YEAR WAS THE BEST SXSW EVER..I SAW MEW AND I SAW THE CHURCH IN BETWEEN I HAD A BLAST.

Hello all, been a church fan for years I miss Marty for he is the one who held the band together threw steves little problem for 20 years where he missed a show in the city nyc and was in lock up thanks to Marty the show went on without steve and it was very good not the mysterious church but enlighting love ya Steve look good latelybest regards,the vez

Genius from the heart, mind and body. The Church evoke all your inner mysteries. The Church are a gift in this life. I feel blessed to have livedI inn this sphere of experience with the guys and their expression. I appreciate this moment.

Love the Church! Very talented band I am so stupid for missing this show.

'You took a piece of my heart And I don't know why No I don't know why' Some of the simplest yet profane and insanely complex lyrics from one of the most under rate bands on the face of the earth; Australian artist The Church.

GOTTA LOVE AUSTRALIAN BANDS DURING THE 80s . A TOTAL MTSTERIOUS SOUND.

I saw them play a little hole in the wall back alley place called The Baschkapp outside Frankfurt, Germany in '91 or so. Little small joint maybe 250 people capacity place. The aura of The Church filled the place with sounds of Reptile and almost like you could see past the Milky Way that night!!

I just discovered this band about three months ago, wow, they are great! I am enjoying them greatly!

With all respect to Ian huang i still miss mwp great show great band

why aren't these guys aren't a bigger deal? w/ the immense influence post-punk has had on countless post-2000 bands, the fact that they're still around and making good new music ought to mean more, i think. read their lyrics sometime. their songs weren't as obvious and in your face as the cure or u2, but the songs are beautiful, truly poetic, and original. what else do you want?

Why aren't they a "bigger deal"? Because some bands like The Church don't want to play that "popularity" game, which the mainstream music industry orchestrates in order to control bands and to siphon endless $$$ from if they get "big". Cause some bands focus more on the music rather than spreading themselves thin in order to attract a bigger and bigger audience. Other bands that should've/would've/could've been "big" but weren't cause they didn't play "The Game"?: The Chameleons Asylum Party The Fixx The Sound Kitchens Of Distinction Clan Of Xymox ...and many more aside from these examples...

MIAMI WHAT A GEAT SONG LOVE IT

Reptile, Im Almost With You, and Unguarded Moment are the best CHURCH tunes

One of the best band ever.

Super! Oh, where my 25 years ((Classics, time does not dominate over eternal values

I saw them play in Petaluma, CA on this tour and it was a brilliant show!!! Awesome band!!! Thanks guys for kicking ass all of these years!!!

Such an unbelievable band - and the song "Miami" - after all these years they write my new favorite song. Thank you Steve, please never stop.

Into my Top 5 bands list !

one of a kind the church !!!!

Still on a Church high...saw them last Saturday. They sounded great. Steve's voice so much better and mysterious this time around. Maybe it was the venue but the sound quality was excellent.

This band ....This band .... This band offers .... what does it offer to you?

This was freakin great - wow! This was freakin great - wow! Everything about this band is amazing. Each individual is a iron clad link in the whole of this group. What a hard working legendary group. I’m bummed I haven’t seen them live. Thanks for this upload !!!

I've seen the church 12 times

This is so cool, I just love it, they have aged some, but, that makes them better.

I Love some of your new songs were you said thank you to your manager and the lord very intense I will make you beautiful steve is such a poet GREAT BAND ALWAYS!!!!!! NOTHING COMES CLOSE KEEP IT REAL STEVE LOVE YA GREAT GUY AND ALSOPETER SUCH A NICE GUY MET HIM AT THE CITY WINERY IN N.Y.C. IN 2010BEST TO YOU ALL THE VEZ

Perfect song choices; all in such a good mood. Increases the beauty.......

I also caught them on their Starfish tour, remember Safari being played to an empty stage and then the boys appearing to just simply blow our minds , damn what a night.Still love em, but as commented below miss the Rickenbacker master...peace from the state of mind that's Texas

What a standout performance of The Disillusionist!

Peter's solo at the end of "Reptile"= mind blowing! 1:03:19 (Very Slithery)

Great show..really miss MWP though.

Laurel Canyon brought me to tears...I want to be wherever that is...

I first saw this band in 1983 at the Mean Fiddler in NW London. Blurred Crusade tour.

A band without peer. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

You lucky guys I have never heard them play this live

Wow, haven’t seen them for years. Still brilliant and now with Ian Haug ( not recent I know ) great guitarist!

Nice camera work. Thanks for this.

Marty Wilson Piper. I wish they could have stayed together just a little while longer. I saw them for the Starfish tour and it was phenomenal. Then again either for the post Ploog Gold Afternoon Fix or Preist=Aura tour. The shows were really good except for the posers just wanting to hear Under the Milky Way and Metropolis.

Good night, i love you !

I love it how; they got a Michael Stipe doppelganger to play drums, the unabashed Kilbey sentiment, "...this is the best album ever and no one will ever top that.", MPW is awol & that these guys reformed in spite of all of the travails. Glad I caught them for a tenner in North London (the Garage?) about 10 years ago & SK & MWP show at the Borderline just off TCR.

The Churcha band as a Cathedral.

the church was a great wonderful vessel. She traveled many miles. but she has run aground an apathetic island. evidenced by this live recording. sad but true.

Is This Where You Live from the album their first album "Of Skins and Heart" from 1981. Happy churching! Yeah really love the band, followed them since the 80s..

I remember when "Block" performed live was memorable; Steve seems to run down as the concert goes on.

This is brilliant! I do have to disagree with Steve about the covers of milky way on youtube. The kids Choir ps22 version of Milky way is gorgeous!

Love this band and I agree with many of the comments. I am a completest when it comes to their material. That being said, Steve's voice is so rough in this performance it is hard for me to listen. He may not be the most gifted vocalist but he sounds downright sick here.

Totally amazed by this band’s creativity. Unlike so many of their peers The Church is not a nostalgic act.

Ok, I had to sign in to comment. Who really cares. If I have to look at a Pepsi or McDonald's logo, I'd rather be listening to The Church while doing it than any other band. It's also a paycheck for these guys, who really deserve it.

Love 26:25 Steve smiles when he hears drrrn neeh nrr dorhh nerrrr.

Marty's absence is so huge. I really want to "get over it" but man he's such a big part of this band's sound and personality. I especially hear him being missed on this song. I hate to say it but where's the spark? Tim, Peter & Steve sound great. Ian's a great player. His style is like when Kenny Jones replaced Keith Moon in The Who. Very similar. Still the Greatest Band of all time!!!!

No way!! I know it's important to have a talented dancer on stage to work the crowd, but Iva Davies not only had a prettier voice, he had better hair as well! Once he left it was all downhill from there. Steve Kilbey should have definitely stuck to playing bass.
