I saw a video online of a live performance of Divine Moments of Truth. I don’t know where the video is from (a date in the beginning mentions 21 July 2001 but no location or filmer/producer), who released the video, or anything like that. What I do know is that it was very cool, and the song was performed differently from the album, fir exampke it has a really fun version of the “LSD do DMT” stuff at the end. The video itself seemed professionally produced, with different camera angles and pretty good production. More than I’d expect from some audience camera.

Is this part of some official Shpongle material that can be purchased somewhere on DVD? For example in the upcoming box set. If not, it should be! I expected Shpongle would have a visually interesting show to match their sound, and this video seems to support that theory! The glowing mask Raja Ram wears in the beginning is really cool.

Also… are there any plans to release any live Shpongle music on CD? The audio on the DMT video is OK for a video, but certainly not CD quality sound. If its representative of the quality of live Shpongle playing in general and an indicator of how much variation from album versions of songs exists in live performances, I and I’m sure many others would jump on the chance to get a CD of that sort of material!

The video in question is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1jPeG1LlaQ

I think it is from one of the solstice music festival dvds, (2001 i think)  it was a bonus feature if i remeber correctly.  8)

Looks like something else I need to try to buy then haha

brilliant, thanks for the link.
why did they hardly play live like that in england? with proper strings and a drummer, that gig looks incredible.

I’ve always been curious to see the rest of that video… surely if the DMT song was filmed, the rest of it must be stored somewhere?

Shpongle have only ever performed live twice, why not share the experience with the rest of the world?

I heard they were going to play in england in 2007

Great song. Always loved it, always will. 8)

Makes Nuky trippy. >_>

Reading down on the comments, I see somebody mentioning the “Shiva Space Technology” song…. I thought that was the ever so popularily misstagged Infected Mushroom & DJ J

Awsome vid!  First time I’ve seen ‘em perform.

Im very pleased to say that that rumour is in fact true. at the end of the twisted 10th bday party they handed us flyers of shpongle live in london on the 27th April 07.

So look out for it cos its gonna be a once in a blue moon event u dont wana miss…. (but u dont need me to tell you that….)  :D

Wait here it is….

“Thank you all for your support over the years. As we move into a new decade, expect new things from us. Keep your eyes out for Shpongle LIVE coming in April.”
