10.10.17 | You don't have to find something similar to the album I related to you, but I thought they might be helpful suggestions. I will watch the videos before I check the album. If you give me a full concert video, I will only watch one song so pick it for me. |
bgillesp
10.10.17 | Also, butcher, you might would dig Avatar just for their vibe and image of not also their music |
bgillesp
10.10.17 | I will gladly accept recs from non-competitors, but please refrain from rec'ing until I get the guys in the comp to gimme something. |
Frippertronics
10.10.17 | Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
no official live videos exist to the band's regret, so you'll have to make do with audience-filmed stuff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp1Hl-Mrj2w |
bgillesp
10.10.17 | Okie dokie. Just to let you know, think Selling England is a 3.8 |
bgillesp
10.10.17 | Foxtrot and NC were a bit better though |
Frippertronics
10.10.17 | they're all in the 4s so I'm confident
plus Lamb is their best although you're asking for something theatrical so this is the best I got |
bgillesp
10.10.17 | Well I'm impressed by the song but disappointed with the video. They never even moved. That's all I'll say for now but you're free to change it until I check the album. Heed this warning everybody |
Frippertronics
10.10.17 | I already stated there's no official recording, that's literally the best I can offer from the lineup that did the album. Blame the band for not even thinking about capturing it on video :p |
Frippertronics
10.10.17 | This gathers more 8mm footage and attempts to reconstruct some parts of the live show. The tour for the album was the only time the whole album was done AND was the only time it was done with Peter Gabriel as their frontman aside from a one-off concert in 1982. So if this doesn't do the job, you're out of luck.

butcherboy
10.10.17 | I reserve the right to early tom waits.. I'll figure out which live song and album exactly, but I have an idea.. |
butcherboy
10.10.17 | this should be great for you, gill, since I've seen the lilies open for waits twice.. |
Papa Universe
10.10.17 | Well, the best answer is Ghost, but you've heard that. |
Frippertronics
10.10.17 | Ghost? The band best known for its unique brand of Scooby Doo Chase Music? |
Frippertronics
10.10.17 | link btw for Unique
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86mg7DPEG7Y |
bgillesp
10.10.17 | It doesn't have to be live or from the album Fripp. I'll watch the new one you gave me though |
bgillesp
10.10.17 | Ghost- Meliora would've fit well. Probably one of the better examples from a non-concept album, but it is just easier to get that element with a concept album |
bgillesp
10.11.17 | Am I gonna get a rec from you tonight UU? Also, butcher, the video does not have to be a live video if a favorite studio video is more theatrical. The Avatar and Lillies vids were studio |
butcherboy
10.11.17 | no, i have a specific waits live song in mind.. think vaudeville spare theatre..
the album is Tom Waits - Blue Valentine, and the video is of a song from that album;s tour called Romeo is Bleeding - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKI_ex5-OCA
taking a bit of a risk, since this is theatrical in a very beatnik, minimalist way.. |
bgillesp
10.11.17 | minimalist theatrical is very unlikely to please me here. I won't rule it out if its particularly entrancing but just letting you know. I did say over-the-top several times in the description... |
butcherboy
10.11.17 | i know.. so let's keep this tentatively, and give me another day to think of something else.. i've got to peruse some old west coast live punk footage to find something over the top, but my music tastes doesn't play well for this criteria, so i may be fucked.. |
bgillesp
10.11.17 | You don't know any concept albums with a lot of attitude? Nothing similar to the Lillies? I'm sure I'll dig Waits though so don't worry if you don't find something |
Papa Universe
10.11.17 | Avantasia - The Metal Opera (Pt. 1 & 2) |
bgillesp
10.11.17 | I need a video too. |
Papa Universe
10.11.17 | is this gona do?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZDMqpvJqRY |
Papa Universe
10.11.17 | also, does the video have to relate to the album or just something showing their kookiness (like a live performance)? the band wasn't doing videos at the time of this album's release |
Papa Universe
10.11.17 | okay, they don't make videos almost at all. I could only find this, which isn't exactly all that theatrical
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quH_vUCdy2o |
bgillesp
10.11.17 | The video only has to show their personality in their performance. Doesn't have to relate to the album. If you argue hard enough I may allow an interview video of it involves several and members |
bgillesp
10.11.17 | So do you want me to check the first or second video for the competition? |
Papa Universe
10.11.17 | the first one was a joke, it's their music playing over scenes from LotR
the second video doesn't exactly show what you ask for, but it's as close as I can get right now.
y'know what? let them be just a placeholder, I'll dig up something better. |
Papa Universe
10.11.17 | oh here we go
Batishka - Liturgiya
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0e7ZTEUwRg |
bgillesp
10.11.17 | Well I guess that works. Hmm, I wonder why it was on your mind... |
Papa Universe
10.11.17 | why which of them were on my mind? |
bgillesp
10.11.17 | The batushka rec. you put it as your rounds placeholder |
bgillesp
10.14.17 | Just ran my fastest 8k race yet. Gonna jam these on the bus ride back home. |
bgillesp
10.14.17 | You should all be disappointed with yourselves |
bgillesp
10.14.17 | Videos are graded only on quality of theatrical performance. Albums are graded by if they are good with small and appropriate bonuses and deductions for theatrical quality. |
bgillesp
10.14.17 | I'm betting the power metal would've served you better Unique but I was really hoping you could give me something like Avatar. My standards were set high for the videos because avatars performance abilities are a solid 5/5 |
Frippertronics
10.14.17 | I think you have an entirely different view of what can theatrical, because the Lamb live show is pretty theatrical |
bgillesp
10.14.17 | To me, being theatrical requires energy which was not present (or at least evidenced by the video) in their performance. Same for UUs but just much worse |
butcherboy
10.14.17 | fair..
hanging onto that lead for now.. |
Frippertronics
10.14.17 | I mean, there's only so much grainy audience footage can do. I'd kill for a pro shot version of the tour footage |
bgillesp
10.14.17 | I wasn't taking the poor quality into account. I just didn't see any movement which to me means no energy. I'm sorry, but it just didn't do much for me. I was really surprised by how much I like the album though |
Frippertronics
10.14.17 | Yeah, I can see why it wouldn't work. I guess it's a case of "you had to be there", but I will take a 4.5 gladly |
Papa Universe
10.14.17 | Eh, I tried... |
Papa Universe
10.14.17 | I don't think that Avantasia could have been more fruitful. You'd love their music, but they really don't have a video that'd serve th flamboyance of their music right. |
Papa Universe
02.03.18 | should have given you this for Batushka:
