(Pre-order - Will ship in late November, order separate if you don’t want other items held up. Pre-orders close Oct 8th)
The footage captures G.I.S.M.’s appearance as a guest act at Psychic TV’s Japan tour concert “Final Wars,” held on January 16, 1986. During the performance, frontman SAKEVI Yokoyama ignited a gas burner and stormed into the audience. The organizers halted the sound due to safety concerns, prompting a furious response from the band. The situation further escalated into a confrontation with a reporter claiming to be from a weekly magazine who was documenting the incident. The entire sequence - performance, chaos, and aftermath - is presented completely uncut.
This footage is identical to “Gasburner Panic,” originally included in G.I.S.M.’s second video release BOOTLEG 1986. Now, nearly four decades later, it is being released on DVD for the first time. Filmed using a single Sony Betamovie camera, the recording documents not only the live performance but also everything that unfolded around it. In accordance with SAKEVI’s wishes at the time, the original release was presented entirely unedited, preserving its raw documentary integrity.
As a bonus disc, the package also includes footage from “Apocalypse 666,” a G.I.S.M. live performance held at Shinjuku Antiknock in 1992. This material captures the full experience from audience entry through the live set, all presented uncut. The end block also features rare footage of the band’s soundcheck. Originally edited in 1992, this marks the first time the material is presented in its complete, uncut form.
Directed by Junji Yasuda, known for his work on G.I.S.M.’s official video productions, as well as the films If You Can Take It, You Can Make It, and Punks: The Age of Blue.
