The worst Killing Joke gig ever was Milwaukee in 2004. 
I know,  I was there. 
Thankfully, they made up for it the next night in Minneapolis.

Yes the Koko, that was it. What a grim evening. I remember being briefly excited when the
drums of Unspeakable started up, as they hadn't played that for a long time, before it descended
into 4 minutes of mushy chaos and out-of-tune vocals. Still, you've gotta have the lows to appreciate
the highs...

that was at the Koko and it was definitely the worst sound I've ever heard at a killing joke gig and that's saying something. I couldn't even make out one of the tracks - which I later by a process of elimination decided was Majestic

That's an interesting take on the whole thing. Never thought of it like that.
When was that gig in Camden when it was just Jaz and Geordie plus two other blokes?
I thought that really was the end of the line - amazing how such a turnaround happened, considering.

Totally agree Alex. It's crap and the title video is embarrassing. 
I have often thought that if Raven hadn't died, they'd have self destructed.
In some ways ravens metal connections saved them by giving the band a platform and a new audience and his untimely death saved them again, healed wounds and brought everything full circle. A phoenix from the ashes.

Forgive me if it’s already been discussed, but I finally picked up the VIVE LE ROCK issue with the `Joke on the cover (it takes a while for these things to reach the States) and was heartened to hear Youth echo my frequently expressed sentiment that HOSANNAS
 is a crap record. He blames it on the drinking at the time.
