I rarely post bootleg concert videos, but I'm willing to make an exception for something as balls-out mind-blowing as this.
Back in 1986, former Bauhaus frontman Peter Murphy released his first solo album Should the World Fail to Fall Apart, the first single from which was a viciously malevolent cover of Pere Ubu's Final Solution.
To this day it remains one of my favorite songs.
As it turns out, during the With Teeth tour, Murphy joined Nine Inch Nails onstage for a couple of shows and performed Final Solution with Trent Reznor and company backing him up.
The result is just fucking unreal -- a sonic blast worthy of musical idolatry.
Take a look.
And here's the original video for the song.
(Incidentally, there's a third version of this song that features not only Murphy and Trent, but also TV on the Radio. It sounds quite a bit more like the original Pere Ubu rendition. You can see it here.)
