My brother posted this & has since passed away, he loved The Church.... my brother was awesome, he loved Aussie bands, The Angels etc I am beyond sad that this is all I have to listen to to remember him ..

Old Church is so good.

Thanks for posting this. I went to this tour in Brisbane. The sound was so good. This was probably the Church at their peak.

The beauty of this concert lies in the fact that none of these songs sound like they were recorded in the studio which gives it a life of its own ...one of the best live concerts of theirs I have heard on audio. Long live S.K.

What an original band! Forty years later still rocking! All four of the greatest players.

I remember this gig. Also the same tour at the 9:30 club in D.C.. Standing Beneath Marty's feet. So loud. So clear. So perfect. I'm still transfixed by HEYDAY. Thanks for the memories guys.

Sydney - Bankstown RSL Club - Oct 18, 1986 Top sounding bootleg from that year. Ah, the memories!

Life speeds up one of their coolest songs

Many great songs from the Heyday album. Saw them in 86 at Fenders Ballroom in Long Beach, California. Please take me back to that period. A better era.

Ploog really is one of the best drummers ever. Seriously good.

Omg! Constant In Opal is amazing!! OMG!

Wow, never thought I’d here “Frozen and Distant” live. Love that song so much!

Ploogy is fast, precise, inventive and fierce. Period.

Amazing quality for a concert from over 30 years ago. Great to hear some tracks I've never heard live before

How cool is the guitar work on Electric Lash!

Fantastic recording! Great to hear "Frozen and Distant", too, as I don't think I have heard any of those Quick Smoke songs live before.

This was a fantastic period for the band. Opening with a recording of the Bulgarian Women’s Choir, Marty Wilson-Piper’s e-bow and that ultra fast version of Constant in Opal. This is a brilliant recording. Thanks for sharing!

THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

underrated Church. good concert, raw and live, the way i love to see/hear bands,..cheers

constant in opal blows every other band away Awesome.

Love Love Love this!!!

A moment in time. Priceless. Thanks for psoting

Love the energy. Not for every taste, but Ploog was one hell of a drummer in the 80’s.

"Seance" what a sheer masterpiece of an album

They came out Energized ! Like Power Punk , But they got into a smooth groove. 😎

What a treasure...thanks sooo much for posting!

Thank you so much! Amazing audio quality.

AMAZING....THANKS FOR POSTING LOVE THE CHURCH

Amazing!!! Thanks for the post!!

This has ruined the recorded versions of these songs for me forever. Soo good!

thanks! this is amazing...!

My god it is so drug induced fast.

See the chains which bind the men Can you taste their lonely arrogance It's always too late And your face is so cold They struggled for this opulence See the suns which blind the men Burnt away so long before our time Now their warmth is forgotten and gone Pretty maids not far behind Who you trying to get in touch with I'm almost with you I can sense it wait for me I'm almost with you Is this the taste of victory I'm almost with you See the dust which fills your sleep Does it always feel this chill near the end I never dreamed we'd meet here once more This life reserved for a friend

i saw them in london at the marquee and mean fiddler, great, breakneck speed gigs - richard put me and my mates on the guest list for the mean fiddler, top guy

A gunfight in Dodge City......

Life Speeds up....Time Machine PLEASE, What a SET!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow!

Ploog, the tempos are all over the place ! He's still a great drummer, though...

I like their 80's the most. The latter albums got kinda darker. I guess that's because it no longer have 3 of the band original members.

Excelente The Church!... Pero muy acelerado!... Los efectos de la droga ( :

Dude! First you buy my Salem's Lot poster, then you post this?? Damn Were we separated at birth? Hahahaha Early Church jams!

Venue? Anybody??

For some strange reason the first song reminds me of Martha and the Muffins - Echo Beach

Where was the gig?

Obviously before the H

Better than porn

slow down

Steve’s voice sounds shaky and he seems to lose the melody of the lyrics.
