The absolute Last Supper
So here it is then - the final date for the final gig, it's so weird looking at it knowing it's going to be the last time I ever perform Crass songs live on stage. I know that was the idea behind this Last Supper tour, but to see it in black and white in front of you like this really makes it final. I know that every gig I do is special and that me and the band put 1000% into every performance, but I have to admit to you all, this one will be special.
If you're thinking of coming, bring some tissues - it's gonna be emotional.
The Last Supper

London
Saturday 19th November. Doors 7pm

I hope to come along to that – I saw one of the Feeding gigs a few years back – very impressed. Sad its the last time but this does leave you with an opportunity to work on new stuff!! All the best Ian

Well, I went to the Bristol gig and, well, it was alright I suppose !!!! Bloody shame that these songs will only be covered (badly) in the future but I thank the Almighty Spaghetti Monster that I got to hear them played live properly. To hear them played properly, twice – Well … it makes me almost believe there could be an Almighty Spaghetti Monster looking out for me. Cheers to ALL the Last Supper gang.

That is gonna be grrreat! Real glad The Cravats are playing too.By the way Steve, really enjoyed your book. Great read.
February 16th, 2011 - 18:32
nice one, see you there.
February 16th, 2011 - 19:03
If there is a god news will come in just before you go on stage that Thatcher is dead. Just make sure someone records the gig!
February 16th, 2011 - 19:30
Steve, if further dates are added…can you confirm that they will be before this date, not after it?
February 16th, 2011 - 19:56
Hi Hengus. Steve has said 19 November will be the last show so that will be the last show. I can’t imagine that we’d be adding more dates…but in the unlikely event we did it would have to be before the 19th! Hope that helps. Allison
February 16th, 2011 - 21:53
Thanks, Allison…thats much appreciated
February 16th, 2011 - 19:57
very, very tempting
came to the bristol gig- was fantastic!.. gonna have to go and count out the pennies for this one..
February 16th, 2011 - 20:49
If you guys can fit any more UK dates in before the 19th Nov please come to Sheffield.
Cheers, Mike

Just Pre-ordered ticket. was at the last sheppards bush gig (and a couple in between)great to see the songs live as missed them when Crass performed them first time round.
Cant’ wait.
one request please record this and release on DVD so we can continue to see the songs played live while Steve goes in to retirement
Thanks Steve for the memories and the inspiration. good luck in the future.
All the best

I was a late Crass follower & that was by pure chance when I bought Merry Crassmas for 65p in 1985 (it was all I could afford on the YTS at the time) It really should have stopped there but I gave them another chance with Sheep Farming followed by quickly collecting everything Crass – good and not so good! I ran out of room on my bedroom wall for all the posters so began to pin them to the ceiling. Waking up to Maggie staring out you while shitting out sausages into a bucket was a bit disconcerting for a teenage boy but I got through it barely unscathed. Can’t wait to see at least part of the band that helped shape my ideals and views of the world but, please Steve, no Merry Crassmas encores!
March 9th, 2011 - 10:09
Well i’ll be hoping there is a Merry Crassmass encore : )
February 17th, 2011 - 08:44
never say never……..
February 17th, 2011 - 09:30
what time will this finish?just want to know to see if i can get a late train back to manchester,responsibilties to attend to so need to get back by early next day.
appreciate if you can let us know,better start trying to save bits of giros,if cameron doesnt abolish benefits and give us food tokens,they already do in some cases ,have been for a few years now.
if i dont make it have a good show,would like to see how carol soundsespecially i kind of helped her get the gig.
dont want to try and blag a place on the guest list,although i speak well when i’m well pissed.>:)

Just seen The Mob have reformed for a gig in Bristol in April. Would be the best gig of all time if Steve could get them to support him in London! Please make it happen Steve…
Cheers

Yeah that’d be an emotional gig; Steve Igs, The Mob, Zounds, Omega Tribe, Rubella Ballet… any more?
February 17th, 2011 - 19:29
Pre-ordered a ticket, just swinging by to request Thatcher on Acid reform and play this. Or failing that, The ‘Tone. Or basically, any band with Ben in… Schwartzeneggar?
February 17th, 2011 - 20:43
Hey all,
Not missing this for the world.
Ticket ordered – See you all downstairs in November.

February 20th, 2011 - 20:37
Been looking forward to this for a lifetime…….Got all my Crass vinyl (amongst others) safely boxed with the occassional time out to open it up and look through it like it’s the first time I’ve seen it. CD’s are great for the car tho! Anyway, all that aside I’ve got my ticket… coming down from Newcastle with my girl to make a weekend of it even though it’s not her thing…Each to their own, but she’ll enjoy herself without me for a few hours I guess.
See you soon,
Jim & Ann

Please, please, please, please come down to Australia if it is at all possible. Make sure you come to Perth, loads of Brits here, loads of old Crassites. Amplifier Bar would be a perfect venue. DO IT PLEASE!!!!!
I’m sure accomodation could be arranged too.
March 3rd, 2011 - 18:59

can’t wait – if it’s half as good as edinburgh it’ll be a cracker
March 9th, 2011 - 10:22
Well i’ll be hoping there is a Merry Crassmass encore : ) But please no bloody Goldblade!!!
What is annoying is Ticket price will be not be £20 from anywhere add on fees etc and average will be £25
March 9th, 2011 - 19:03
Buy from Southern for the best price
March 15th, 2011 - 11:13
