Live at the Volksbühne, Berlin, New Year's Eve, 2005
Description
This release, previously included in the TG Berlin box set and available for the first time on vinyl, captures Throbbing Gristle’s unforgettable New Year’s Eve performance as part of a special series of concerts held at Berlin’s Volksbühne in 2005 and 2006. The setlist featured a sneak preview of five tracks from their first album in 27 years, Part Two: The Endless Not, which was released several years later. Fans also experienced TG’s first-ever encore in 25/26 years, with iconic tracks like ‘Convincing People,’ ‘Slug Bait,’ and ‘Hamburger Lady’ – what a memorable callback! Additionally, the concert included the track ‘Splitting Sky’ along with other pieces. Formed in 1975, Throbbing Gristle – comprising Chris Carter, Cosey Fanni Tutti, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge (1950-2020), and Peter “Sleazy” Christopherson (1955-2010) – fully realized punk’s unfulfilled promise to explore extreme culture to sabotage control systems. Their impact on music, culture, and the arts has been immeasurable and is still felt today in music, film, theatre, and fine art.
