Reviews of El Momento Shows?

I've checked a few times in the past month to see if anyone posted a review of one of these shows...but can't find any. Did any Wombers attend? Even better, does anyone have a link to YouTube vids from these shows? I really, really would like to hear Song in the Afternoon live!

Powerhouse, Brisbane 23rd Dec

So, what can I say. Brilliant venue, excellent pristeen sound quality. Close proximity. Very appreciative and quiet crowd and of course The Church the ultimate concert band doing what they do and their very best.

This gig would have to be the best Church gig I have ever seen. I was seriously nearly in tears during moments of the set. Hearing these songs just like they are on the album sequences was just fantastic.

I was 3 rows from the front in probably one of the best seats in the house. Right in the middle. I could hear every little nuiance of instrument. You could pretty much hear a pin drop. Between songs it was like sitting in a lift.

You could tell this crowd were real fans of the band as everyone rolled up patiently for this 3 album set. A really good mix of people here.

I know by the end of the night I reckon I could have easily gone another album. Time flies when you are having fun.

No need to tell you the set, you...

Tweed Heads, 22nd Dec Gig

feeds@yuku.com (insectworld) — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 13:17:43 PST

Great gig last night. Stella set in not the exact order but close enough. I think I have them all here..

Aura, Pangaea, Metropolis, Sealine, The Disillusionist, Ripple, On Angel Street, Unguarded Moment (full electric - brilliant), You Took, Almost with you, Under the Milky Way, Space Saviour, Reptile, Tantalized, Grind.

Really good crowd. The band enjoyed and were appreciative. Peter K is so much more moving around these days and also playing heaps of solos competing with MWP. Very good. Tim was brillant as usual. Craig on keys / guitar adding to the mix and Steve his usual self but even more animated. Very funny.

Picked up Isidore 2 cd as well as Tiare new ep. Have everything else. Good to see some vinyl there being David Neil and Hammock.

I am really happy as I am off to the Powerhouse tonight for the 3 album gig. Very cool!

PS - Highlight was hearing...

STEVE KILBEY IN THE AUSTRALIAN SONGWRITERS HALL OF FAME

feeds@yuku.com (captain mission) — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 01:11:49 PST

i was very kindly invited to this event, sat on the table with our humble and modest hero and his lovely people, and although i did think the whole thing was going to be a whole evening devoted to steve it was actually a strange sort of drawn out award night with lots of other performers and people talking and it was not until the end that steve went up to collect a big silver thing from glen baker, an australian critic who actually gave the church a really strange review of their opera house gig, i felt he was at a totally different concert as his words did not match the event at all, but then i guess thats the paradox of being a critic. what kind of job is that anyway? (i agree with lou reed) anyway glen baker said some nice things about the church and specifically steve and then steve made a very good speech covering a lot of ground. asking the question what is a song? he spoke endearingly about his early...

Do you have recent gig photos for banners in Hotel Womb?

feeds@yuku.com (chrome3D) — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 00:48:26 PST

There was many links to photos from the recent Future Past Perfect US tour. Many of the photos were for magazines or professional sites. Even many flickr users say that all rights are reserved. We don´t want to snatch photos without permission. That is why I´m asking if you have gig photos you would be willing to share here without any restrictions. They would be used in banners of Hotel Womb with graphics and text. In most of the cases the photos would be cropped a lot to fit the banner and sometimes only a part of it would be used. It is good to update the banners every now and then with new pics.

Thanks in advance!

What a great evening! The band was in top form, and was clearly enjoying every minute of it. I unfortunately missed last year's acoustic show due to vacation plans, but this and the 2009 show were transcendently great. You can read my review and see photos here:

These guys are beyond Awesome-Thanks Ya all and Gods speed to you and your family's. I am so lucky to be a Church fan! Highlights of the night-EVERYTHING But Priest=Aura,paradox and a Angel Street our stuck in my head right now. The sound last night was just perfect for most of the night,nothing really to complain about I was sitting on Marty's side of the stage and he and Peter just tore it up last night they all had the energy of 20 year old 's and my 24 year old son who plays,was just mesmerized...If you missed this tour you can go and and shoot yourself,because I cant imagine anything that could even touch this one-with the possible exception of Re-formation as an Encore! it does make me sad to think that most of these songs will never be played again-please release a DVD Of this show

Just in after the first show and I was not let down at all. Didn't get seated and danced the whole show and I am dog arsed tired. I don't know how those guys are doing it but I am super-thankful to see these shows. Highlights for me were the run of Angel St., Sunken Sun, Anchorage and Lunar which brought me to tears. The P=A songs seemed just a bit slower but I think it worked, Feel being updated works very very well. There was one major gaff by Steve on A New Season near the end, he missed or added a line and it threw the whole band off for a few seconds. But class act that he is he apologized to the band after the song, pure class. Couldn't help but yell out "it happens to the best of them!!". The crowd was just a bit rowdy with one *ickhead who kept yelling out during the quite bits, wtf dude?? Over all a great show, one for the books indeed. I even got a nice complement after the show from a couple who said they moved across the room to stand by me because I was so...

After attending my first church concert, all I can say is wow! As I only casually go to concerts, I don't feel especially qualified to comment on many of the aspects of their live performance. I'll leave that to the much more trained eyes and ears of other Wombers. However, I must say Steve and the boys really seemed to be having fun. I never realized how much of a showman Steve had become until I watched them tear through songs like Anchorage and The Disillusionist. I met several very cordial fans and in speaking with them I gained a greater appreciation of just how lucky we were to finally see P=A performed here in the states. The merch was great (and reasonably priced) as well as the venue. (The staff was helpful and the acoustics were great!) Tiare was very helpful and accomodating in offering to take some things back to the band after the show to be autographed. Between the performance, venue and the merchandise,...
