- Full concert performance of The Last Supper at Shepherd’s Bush Empire on
19th November 2011
Steve: "This performance was the culmination of a tour that took over eighteen months to arrange and execute. To say I'll never forget it would be an understatement because I've never experienced such highs, lows and just sheer bewilderment, such a pressure of responsibility to do it right.
This last show was truly special which I tried to say at the end but I don't think there are words to describe what we've all been through.
Maybe the songs say it all.
I know the smiles, the tears, the hugs, the warmth that people gave me does.
A hundred thousand tons of love to you all.
Steve Igs"

All the lyrics are ingrained in my brain after nearly 40years, this is still as relevant if not more so today. As a 16 old lad on the dole in the 80s Crass were so empowering when everything seemed so hopeless, i wrote them a letter to thank them and they replied by sending me a personal letter with lots of gifts, badges, posters etc, you wont see much of that these days. This band made me a better person. Love and respect to you Steve
Thanks Tony for your kind words. Yes, in those days we didn't had facebook etc and we used to spent evenings writing letters to people.

Thanks J
@@SteveIgnorantOfficial You're welcome :)
"no man surely Mother Earth first". 😉 "Only kidding any CRASS track will do loved them since 82. ✌️♥️🏴
Done just ruined it JLB
Loved "CRASS" since the early early 80's!! I'm 55 now!! And "CRASS" is still.. In my blood!!!! Cheers to you all!!!!
Crass changed music and the world. I'm an American in the Midwest, I ordered the crass catalog of CD's in the mid 90's as a teen. I later read about them in English class in collage. It amazes me many people know so little about such a monumental band, and where many mod sounds come from...
CRASS was about love. All the anger, all the things that people thought were 'agressive', I mean...
All that came from a great sense of human, strong love, and from the frustration about all the things that would try to kill this love. Thank you Crass. Even if I don't agree with everything you said, at least you made me think for myself and make my own decisions. Peace.
Thank you for your kind words.
@@SteveIgnorantOfficial It's the least I can do, right? You made a change for the good for lots of people.
I cannot witness this performance without tears. It’s such a coherent representation of the energy it takes to defend a human being’s autonomy!
here I am 38 years later, thank you Crass you have been extremely important in my life, for a multitude of reasons.
Thank you for your kind words.
@@SteveIgnorantOfficial great thanks
Crass we’re one of the best bands to bring negativity & anger together to make positivity… I learned so much at the age of 13 from listening to Crass…Thanks Steve for putting me & many others on the right path…
Thanks for your kind words and your support.
punk might be dead, but us old punks are still alive and kicking! xx
she is un-belieavble
I was present at this one and at many of the early shows, did a fanzine and organised a gig in high wycombe and met at dial house a few times, i feel like you have been with me all of my life, certainly changed the course of it, shed a few tears watching this, Thank you fella I'm the guy that took the shaved women /stations pics
Hello mate, good to hear from you.
I need to get my shit together. I'm turning 51 this year and I'm already dead inside! He was 54 for this show. Man I need to exercise or some shit. How did I get so old?
I definitely had to train for it. Now 10 years later I have to train even harder to keep up my fitness level :) :)
.
I live my life as vegan
➜Organic&Vegan(NotRaw),
since the year 1990.
That's how I did it. :)
This music saved me, Crass is life.
Really? How did it save you?
Just wanna know
Just watched this all the memories came flooding back I'm 56 now but watching that I was a 16 year old kid thanks for helping me relive those times as all government the same they can call it freedom but slavery the game hope you will tour again Steve 👍
I saw crass 4 times in Liverpool as a boy in the early 80s and they were by far the best gigs I went to. My boy listens to them now and loves them! Thanks steve, penny, eve, joy, N A, Phil, Gee, and Pete for the best years of my life.
Ehhh haaa brother
Thanks so much.
Oh dude... this was beautiful. I wish I could had been there. Even if I was born in 1979 and was just a little kid when things were happening, Crass were a HUGE inspiration in my 20's and even nowadays. And, well, in the end this wasn't the last supper, but anarcho-punk owes YOU a living and those songs deserve to be played.
Thanks for uploading this.
Cheers from spain Steve.
Glad you enjoyed it J.
@@SteveIgnorantOfficial I gotta confess I almost cried a few times while watching it. One thing: why don't you copy/paste my other comment with the tracklist and post it with your own account so you can pin it?
If punk were a Greek temple, Crass would be one of the columns
Crass would be the altar
I feel like being first time on Crass show - the band which completely changed my life in 80s. But then we could not even see a single picture of them in Poland. And now I am sitting in the armchair, watch it and have gooseflesh. Great level of the show, absolutely fantastic. Thanks Steve, Penny and all the crew. I must also mention the girls, they are brillant!
Used to huddle around a mate’s tape recorder listening to Crass at school lunchtimes 1982-83. Re-discovered Crass and Steve through CZcams and I’ve got to say I appreciate the pure art in a way I didn’t as a kid. This performance is amazing .. Steve’s energy and commitment to the lyrics with every once of his mind and body wow.. band is tight and the female singer (Carol?) loses nothing!
Thanks for this. I was there, but got a bit overexcited before the gig and got very very drunk in the pub, so I was seeing double and can barely remember anything. Still, it was a bucket list gig for me, and that night I made some choices that changed the entire trajectory of my life. A night I can barely remember, but will never forget.
Haha !! Same here! ;)
Thanks Steve. Greetings from Madrid, Spain. I Love CRASS. 💚🖤
Hello Alex, Greetings from England. All the best, Steve
God damn. That drummer works his ass off!!!!!
I would not be the critical thinker I am today had it not been for Steve, Penny, Gee, Eve, Pete, Phil and the others, they shaped my life, so glad Steve has brought this back for a new phone zombie, face fuck, insta wank generation who need it so much more than we ever did👍 "Big A Little A Bouncing B" 🖤
Nice.
Shame they sold out
I wish I was a part of that. That was magic.
Went to see crass in the early 80s. Stirling and Dunfermline, memories no one can take from me. ❤
Bought feeding if the 5000 when i was 13, 1979.. loved it than & now.. the way the music is played & put together is so far removed from not just the commercial mainstream but any other music style & that's the way it should be...that's why i love it.
Thanks Marcus for your kind words. It is my favourite album.
@@SteveIgnorantOfficial
The pleasure's all mine mate, & thank you.👍
I will always be grateful to Crass for lyrics that have powered me through to age 57 today. I had a flyer for a Crass gig that was supposed to happen in the Summer of 1983; they were scheduled to play with GBH in Los Angeles, CA. The gig was cancelled due to Crass being anarchists, and I heard their visas were revoked. My Sears steel-toe buckle-over boots with my homemade Crass stencils are still buried out at Bell Mountain, Apple Valley, CA. Many wanted to buy them when I took my punk "uniform" off---but I died "with my boots on," sort of. I'm pretty sure there are some rusty steel toes with no surrounding boot out there right now! Awesome show in Shepherd's Bush 2011---I was glued to the gig I had to wait for. Peace, cheers.
Thanks kelly
@@SteveIgnorantOfficial When Dave Lettermen was on the air, he had a skit called, "brushes with greatness;" thanks Steve for adding to my growing list of said quote. Steve, I hope you don't mind that I skipped the story about your music playing in my room(not physically) when I was having a rare bad trip on acid---those old films of bulldozers piling up bodies in black and white, right on my bedroom wall. Good times, good times, ha! Cheers Steve and seriously, thank you and to the other members one and all.
This music has passed the tests of time and is still awesome. Steve Ignorant is great a performer and he is backed by a pretty damm good band. When I first heard Crass many years ago I was like what???? They changed my way of thinking about music.
Awesome show. Thanks Steve for sharing this, greetings from Mexico
Kudos to the drummer. That was some tight hardcore drumming right there.
I was never a punk, but I took some acid one day and a friend gave me Best Before and Stations of the Crass to listen to on my walkman. I was entranced and Crass became injected into my consciousness.
Yes, Spike T Smith is a brilliant drummer
Watched yet again and Carol doesn’t half fill some big boots, awesome vocals an attitude 👍
Yes, she did a brilliant job.
Carol was brilliant.
So amazing. I can't believe you're matching the same energy and passion from 40 years ago. Everyone did an amazing job. Wish you guys good luck, from Puerto Rico.
Thank you
Im so glad you came back and gave a generation of punks who love your logic and music another chance to see it live. Thanks Steve!
Bloody hell, an absolute emotional journey. The energy resonates 9 years later ❤️
Gave me goose bumps and misty eyes.
That was just awesome. I was blown away by Carol as she is really singing 2 x singers parts without tripping over at all. Astounding all round.
Yes, she is a great singer and rehearsed long hours to get it just right.
Fucking brilliant your songs never age
Respect
Thanks Mark really appreciate your support.
I really wish society could progress enough to actually age some of these songs, no offense to you Steve - we need CRASS' music now more than ever.
Why doesn't this have a billion likes?!
Carol is amazing!
Sadly missed this one but you clearly smashed it Steve! Loved Carol's vocals too. Crass was vocalising exactly how I felt as a young punk and still do now age 46.
Thanks Mayola. Yes, Carol is a brilliant singer.
Kings of punk..
Oh no doubt bud! "Big A little a" is my fav song for 20+ years now...
The message is just like the music as well as the show after all these years. ABSOLUTELY SUPERB. ABSOLUTE TRUTH. ABSOLUTELY ENERGIZING. ABSOLUTELY EDUCATING. ABSOLUTELY INSPIRING. CRASS IS ABSOLUTE!!!!!!!
The emotion that comes from it is difficult to translate to words. Crass, in my opinion, keeps the real punk rock attitude; song that comes from heart and push the brain to work in real life!
Fucking good punk. Pure revolutionary energy. Thank you Crass. Punk one time, punk forever. 🖤🧷
My respect to Steve Ignorant!Stay True and Authentic as you are!The Young Lady is great!Best wishes from fucking Germany!
I was there, It was a fantastic last gig ! Thanks Steve ;)
crass, the best band ever
Absolute Amazing show, Jeez!
What a Slice of Life history. SOOOOOOOOOOOOO Glad i got to see Crass in the early 80's. Digbeth Civic Hall Brum. A quid in !!!!!!!!!!!!
I was there too.
The Crypt Middlesbrough for me '81?
I was there at digbeth hall. Great times
most intelligent band on the planet, ever. thanks for waking me up in the 80,s, love crass 4ever.
I am so glad this was captured so beautifully. I actually got teary eyed at the end. So amazing. I was at the Last Supper tour in the US in Baltimore. I cried then too. I love you Steve. We hung out for a while in Baltimore before the show, you were a gem as always. You were a major role in my childhood and all the way up to this point. I really hope that when this pandemic is over we can meet again.
thank you Albert for your kind words. Yes, hopefully we'll be able to see each other again.
Sounds amazing. Tight band! Cheers from New York
Been a fan of CRASS from 1980 ( 13 years old ), had a punk band in ex Yugoslavia, sent to Crass our demo tape, but sound of it was bad even for their Bullshit records 😆. Got from Crass a lot of badges and stuff in a letters back days...Still wear them on punk gigs. Now, my daughter accompany me on punk gigs as well...and she listen to Crass as well 💪💪
In those days, I would do anything to see them live....still would, however I live in Serbia....
Come to belfast next sat steve ignorant limelight
you're really cool, cheers from a punk from neighbouring bulgaria
Gracias! I grew up listening to Crass, and this takes me back to those moments. Cheers from Colombia. Hope to se you soon in a South America tour :D
I hope so too!
Love Rival Tribal Revel Rebel!! Cheers from the USA, California 💋
God damn that was great.
That rendition of Berkertex Bribe was extremely pleasing to my ears!
Punk is not dead!
May be well forked but definitely not dead!
Punk's not dead it just smells funny
I was there, great gig.
It still sounds fresh and relevant today
I love it great performance !!!
Thanks Anthony really appreciate it.
Still the best punkband ever
And that is putting down any other band. Just the facts. I really liked the crowd singing along to I Ain't Thick
how he remembers all the lyrics is amazing
Amazing, respect ! The godfathers of the DIYanarchopunk, inspired so many good bands. Always loved the gigs in the nineties from Schwarzeneggar & Stratford Mercanaries. Kroezel
Thanks for that
.
The 80s & 90s!!
Thanx so much for posting this, Steve! The music you've created has helped me so many times since the first time I heard "Feeding of the 5000" when I was 14. Thank you for everything, and greetings from Texas!
Was lucky enough to find the dvd recently of this.... can't stop watching it.!! .👍
What an awesome gig that was! So glad I was able to make it.
Was lucky seen crass 3 times....awesome .....Steve ignorant what a geezer
Absolutely fantastic night. One of the most joyful gigs I've ever had the pleasure of attending. Ironic, considering the anger in the songs, but the whole night felt to me like a celebration.
Steve thanks for the fight, thanks for the music!
respect and greetings from Mexico City!
Thanks Christian
Amazing performance excellent quality. I played the shit out of these records and it was great to hear this.
I love the fact that CRASS their ideals and music outlived the government and media fucks that criticized them 40 years ago. Yep we grow up have families and kids and even grandkids but the idea of free thought and speech is still alive. XXXX AAAA!
we need crass now in 2022 come on steve bring us up to date but keep the old crass going if it makes sense
Yes, sadly the songs are as relevant today as when they were then. It is one of the reasons why I'm doing the IGNORANT TOUR.
This band you have is EPIC. Drummer, Bass, Guitar, and Carol are all EXCELLENT. Hope you're keeping the same group. This is absolutely AMAZING. SUCH a GREAT performance from each member. 💣💥🔥
Carol absolutely kills it in these songs!
Thank you so much Steve. We love you.
Carol is sublime.
Cass changed my life forever...The Ruts are still a constant in my playlists and to hear you guys do it.. made my day!! Been watching this for 2 days solid now and still not tired of it. Thanks Steve and Co for helping me to survive a fucked up South Africa back in the day!!!! this is brilliant! and you did Securicor... 😁
Thank you Jon-Pat, really appreciate your kind comments. The Ruts are definitely a favourite of mine too.
From belfast here .crass and ruts rocked
I missed the original Crass line up by a couple of years. This tour was fantastic for me. The Gizz/Spike combination is always going to be a winner - 2 first class masters of their instruments. Carol is a force of nature & truly amazing. You were good too Igs, obviously like!
They were right about everything.
Awesome!! Thanks, Steve.
Crass was before my time, but I have to say I'm thankful I was introduced to them by older folks. The lyrics and sound hold up to this day, while younger bands that came way after have aged quick and become outdated.
Perfection
Simply gorgeous!!! @ & freedom is what I want!!
Gracias Steve! greetings from Mexico City! 👊🏼🖤
Carol Hodge what an amazing voice
What a fuckin amazing front man Mr Ignorant is.Superb gig,superb group.Keep blasting the tunes out.Would love to have been there this is a good second though
Thanks Terri for your kind words.
Pleasure is mine Sir
Fantastic representation of Crass music. Well done. The dre(A)m is still alive.
One word, Steve (Well, after this)... Perfect.
Thanks Mark
I discovered Crass in 1989 and it was revelatory. Their lyrics were so prescient, they sound like a reaction to current events. I just shared the upright citizen lyrics with a picture of today's United States Supreme Court. I personally think Crass lyrics were probably the most important ever written. White punks on Hope has been my mantra for over 30 years now. Anyway, thanks for all those words. The music wasn't bad either.
'89 was still Thatcher's Britain! 🏴
Wow, steve sounds same as back then!
just amazing
If I could give this two thumbs up I would! Fantastic show!
I never go anywhere (by choice). But if the Ignorant Tour came to America, I'd have to go.
just a shame we got left hanging in84 still sound the same as 40 years ago and the words now seem prophetic ty🌻
Wow!! i love so much Carol Hodge . This video is Gold!
Fucking awesome.
La mejor banda desde que yo era joven ahora tengo 45 años y sigue siendo de lo mejor
Great to see crowds reaction,wish i was there
I'm blown away by this performance. I've gotta say Crass was huge for me as a teen growing up in Southern California., And I know you've influenced many others one way or another. I'll bet Sleaford mods, Banksy, who knows how many others? Do they owe Crass a living? Course they fucking do-
Thanks PK
That drummer. F. If I could play with someone that talented….
Yes, Spike is a brilliant drummer
Thanks for your kind comment. Glad you enjoyed the playing.
