Vintage Video: The Church shines in rare early pro-shot concert footage from 1982

For this week’s installment of Vintage Video, we present some very rare, very high-quality early concert footage of The Church — 50-plus minutes of the band performing at what’s believed to be Hodern Pavilion in its hometown of Sydney, Australia, in 1982.

The 10-song performance — including strong early single “The Unguarded Moment” — is professionally filmed, with outstanding audio, but it’s not clear what the footage is from.

Check it out below via Music Documentaries & Concerts,

    This is like discovering the Ark of the Covenant for fans of the early classic lineup of The Church. Saw them for the first time about then & it’s bringin’ it all back. Fantastic band; so many great albums to dive into!

    If you haven’t already, I highly recommend grabbing a best of comp and starting the love affair with this incredible, psychedelic, space-rock band!

    Saw this a couple of weeks ago, it’s fantastic. This is the year I started listening to the Church when they released “Blurred Crusade”.

  5. This is so great. I saw the Church in 1990 and then again last September. So great!
