As the month of Christmas has just begun here's a present from the Internet : a smashing video of live event from the past yet new for those who like me hadn't watched it yet neither were at the show :

AWESOME - thanx for the link. Havn't checked youtube for months

Brilliant. I had to sit GCSE exams sadly and I missed the entirety of the ZOON gigs. Good sound quality - many thanks!

Thanks to Scardwel who shared it on Facebook.

Many thanks Ngie! I haven´t seen such a fine video from that period.

Just saw this. wow they were raging! awesome performance.

Performing in day-time in front of an awkward crowd didn't stop this hurricane of a line-up to bring as much as possible from the abyss of the masterpiece which is "Zoon" to the light [literally].

The "passage from the past" confirmed that "Zoon" was the next natural step in a process of evolution.

It has always been the flipside of Elizium, the nightmarish thunderous doppelganger to the dream ambience.

If "Elizium" ascends to to Elysian Fields, "Zoon" spirals down violently to the depths of Hades.

Apparently Beggars Banquet were even more awkward than the crowd in terms of handling properly album promotion and tour.

They wanted their "goth man" sustained, contained and neatly packaged -- a medium-rare product for mid-scale "mass" consumption.

But this was too hard to digest - let alone comprehend. An unstoppable force soon to rip the shreds of such narrow-mindedness.

Elizium's aftershock drove Carl to break with the conventions of a then-emerging 'category' lambasted by the press with stereotype rules -- the same press who tried to ridicule this sound few years back, then trying to sanitize it by making it pop's dark cousin, grumpy but "incorporated neatly" in the scheme of things.

Zoon's aftershock drove Carl to break with the conventions of what was "accepted" or "permitted" for an artist to express, in a calculated logic of pre-determined "allowed experimentation".

A remark about the performance -- as the studio album betrays, it was Cian's ominous bass that locked it all together.

A multi-faceted mind as well, and did wonders with Saints of Eden.
