Bauhaus: Archive/Shadow of Light on DVD Dec.6th Finally these performances & promos are finally seeing the light of day! I used to watch this on Night Flight on the USA channel back in the day.On album they're great but watching their live performances is a totally different animal.Bauhaus in their prime!
Bela Lugosi's Dead...I'm Dead..I'm Dead...I'm Dead... 
Description: This DVD contains all the Bauhaus promotional videos and live performances recorded at the Old Vic Theatre, London in 1982. Originally released on two VHS's, it's a contemporaneous document of the first incarnation of this legendary band who stole the show with their performance at Coachella 2005. When they disbanded in 1983, members Peter Murphy, Daniel Ash, David J, and Kevin Haskins found success both as solo artists and as members of Love And Rockets, Tones On Tail, and Dalis Car. However, there's a certain night music that only happens when the four become Bauhaus. pre-order | |

Ziggy is one of my favorite videos of all time. It's pretty simple, but I don't know of a better video that captures the early British goth scene so perfectly. | |

This is HOTT!!! I used to have both of these taped from videos that I got my hands on WAY back in the day, when I was in high school. Both are long lost, and when these come out on DVD, I'll be grabbing them up ASAP. For any Bauhaus fans or curiosity seekers (this means YOU, GangstaFam!), this is a MUST. Good stuff. Great stuff. Yay, I'm glad these vids haven't been forgotten. Essential. | |

I figured. Compare the Archive live performance with the recent Bauhaus reunion show and you'll see a huge contrast in how Peter Murphy conducts himself on stage. | |

See when I went, I was expecting something different. From what I've read and the photographs I've seen, I imagined him being a goth rock Iggy Pop - all in your face and confrontational. I like the lounge lizard, smoking jacket, Christopher Walken-esque PM too though.  | |

He's a sexy, satanic, guitar-swinging Bono. | |

I swear the Chicago show must have been a lot different from the NY show I went to. I don't expect Peter to jump around now like Iggy at all, but to me he just seemed bored throughout the entire performance. I mean, at least acknowledge the other guys in the band at some point during the night. The 1998 shows (documented on the Gotham DVD) were better I think. This one NYC concert however, I found a little disappointing. Maybe he was just having a bad night. | |

Maybe he was just having a bad night. he was statelier than typical peter murphy of the past, and he also seemed a little "been there, done that" in a way that oozed cool to me. he came off as jaded and in control. a middle aged goth lounge lizard. i would rather he have been all angles and contortions, running around in make-up and no shirt, but i think at his age, that would look a little silly now. | |

Maybe it's just me because the crowd obviously didn't care the way they were cheering them. And you'd think the world was gonna end when the house lights went on after the second encore and they didn't do "Bela' Lugosi's Dead"! | |

They did Bela on Friday night, but I went to the Saturday show so no Bela for me this time around. Saturday night got "Slice Of Life" instead. | |

You got a setlist? Very cool. The Saturday NYC encores were Slice Of Life, Telegram Sam, Ziggy, Double Dare. Not sure about the Friday show except that Bela was definitely in that one. | |
