Notes

Recorded 22nd April 1984 at 'Eventworks', Boston Massachusetts College of Arts, Massachusetts, USA.

On Easter Sunday, 22nd April 1984, Psychic TV, as composed of Genesis P-Orridge and John Gosling, gave a performance at the Longwood Theatre of the Massachusetts College of Art. This Unholy event for the holy weekend entirely consisted of a presentation of pre-recorded audio and video tape, with the exception of a brief selection when Gen plinked a few notes on a piano along with a tape loop of Aleister Crowley chanting to evoke demons. The videos presented including a COUM Transmission performance from '77 with penisses and clitorises pierced, other assorted bondage and discipline films, Jim Jones, Charles Manson, Roman Polanski, Brion Gyson's Dreammachine in operation, and the final video was a PTV production, "Terminus" which treats the subject of people who have given up hope. The audio includes both finished PTV and Throbbing Gristle pieces plus tapes mixed during the performance. These were primarily tapes of various religious and mystical rituals at their peaks put on loops.
This event also involved another sister event which took place the previous Good Friday in Reykjavik, Iceland. It was hoped that there might be a "Psychick" influence between the two, that remains to be seen.
