Holy Shit (jesus lizard live dvd?)

2008-03-08T23:41:00-05:00

Finally got around to getting this DVD - it was in my local Newbury Comics, and I picked it up with the new Naked Raygun DVD.

Seriously, how many times in my life can I go to a store and buy DVDs featuring The Jesus Lizard and Naked Raygun? Fucking great.

Anyhoo, apart from the gratuitous zoomy-zooms, it's pretty great, and makes me miss The Jesus Lizard very much.

I might just buy this anyway, I like seeing the words 'Jesus' and 'Lizard' next to each other on my shelves.

Is there anyone out there now that brings their kind of energy to a show?

I know the guy that put up that video...a friend and former co-worker of the Yowman.

I saw a show the in May where a band unexpectedly launched into "Gladiator." A friend of mine who used to be in one of my favorite bands in the States (band in question is still active) drunkenly got up onstage with his shirt off, and proceeded to do a balls out vocal. He nearly killed himself a few times...he was headed for a completely upside down rendezvous with the floor, but me and a friend from another band I admire saved him (a couple of times).

It was a fucking fantastic show.

No.

Interestingly enough, the last time the Jesus Lizard played Lincoln, NE, David Yow just propped himself up with the mic stand and barely moved the whole time. I believe he said, "This is all I got" 3 or 4 times. He may have just been tired, or it may have been because it was Lincoln. It was still a great show. Granted, this was a long time ago and my memory fails me more often then I'd care to admit.

Stop the zooming!

I was going to order this DVD until I saw that clip. I'd be surprised if the zoom wasn't used throughout the DVD, as a means to try and convey the Xtreme energy of the show. Lame.

I have 4 DVDs of Jesus Lizard shows and they will suffice. They are excellent shows, excellently recorded. That is all.

Fuck that video.

The audio's decent enough, but the angles are shit and that zoom thing is fucking WEAK.

I'd rather just watch the numerous other YouTube JL vids.

MVD posted a new clip from the DVD. It's 'Boilermaker.'

Too bad about the terrible zooming camera work during the beginning of the clip. If the rest of this live footage has that, I don't think I could stand to watch it for more than a few minutes.

There are so many great JL videos floating around youtube, a CBGB halloween show, the one where he gets nailed in the back of the head with the beer bottle, the touch and go one where he gets stripped down on stage.... their shows must have been a fucking ball.

Is there anyone out there now that brings their kind of energy to a show?

MVD has put out two Guided by Voices DVDs, both of which are "official" band releases (i.e., you can buy them from Rockathon) so this is probably legit.

Apparently Pitchfork deemed it newsworthy.
