Jesus Lizard: Live

One of the best live indie bands of the '90s performing at the Venus De Milo in Boston circa '94

Runtime

Synopsis

The studio recordings of Chicago's Jesus Lizard are considered part of the 90s indie rock canon, and those who saw them live know their reputation as one of the era's top live bands is well-earned. This film captures the original lineup in 1994 performing for a full and energetic audience at the Venus de Milo in Boston. The band's no-frills approach to their tense, aggressive sound contrasts with frontman David Yow's wild, Dionysian energy as he pushes both himself and the crowd into a state of ecstatic frenzy. The 2-camera setup captures the full intensity of the performance, including the sweat, spit, and chaos of a live band at the height of their powers.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 5

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
