01 wheres captain kirk
In August 1977 a weird and wonderful improvisational musician crashed onto the UK punk scene. Going by the name Spizz, it wasn't long before he was touring as Spizz Oil, releasing two Eps, 6000 Crazy and Cold City, which topped the indie charts in 1978. In 1979 they recorded the legendary Soldier Soldier and the punk classic Where's Captain Kirk? ensuring the newly christened Spizz Energi a place in the punk rock hall of fame. Spizz continued to record and tour under various monikers (Athletico Spizz 80, Spizzsexual, Spizzvision etc.) eventually reuniting as Spizzenergi for the Holidays In the Sun Concert in Blackpool, August 1996.
This film features their performance from that historic weekend and has a wealth of previously unreleased footage. All the old favourites are here in a show that re-energised both the performers and the fans. Also included is a clip of Where's Captain Kirk from 1986, four tracks from their anniversary show-reel tape filmed in 2004 and a recent interview with the man himself. Beam me up Scotty!

Just meet Spizz in a pub in Bermondsey what a nice bloke
The only interesting teacher in my entire school career was my English teacher, Mrs. Little. She was also a religion teacher, I am confirmed atheist and she was a practising Quaker. Still, she introduced me to Shakespeare and her son was in this band. She was the only teacher I remember with any amount of affection, at all.
There are few of those kinds of teachers. I had two I remember... really special, who have an effect on the rest of your life
She sounds fabulous
One of the best punk singles. Great fun!
Saw these guys as Athletico Spizz 80 at the Birmingham Odeon supporting The Cure and Siouxsie and the Banshees. Robert Smith played guitar for both S and the Bs and The Cure that night. Happy punk days in Late 70s/early 80s Brum 👍
I was there that night, small world :) saw spizz a few times, proper mad fuker even sober lol
@@gallows565 Same here *L* .Great show
I was there too, brilliant night ❤️
would've loved to see all of that
That is an amazing ticket, you lucky thing you!
First band to score a number one hit on the UK indie chart.
ORLY?
I was a punk and loved Spizz! Cold city is my Fave!
This is one of the songs that's always playing in the jukebox in my head. 'Spock pulled me through as we went warp factor two and someone I saw I knew, where's Captain Kirk?'
Seen SPIZZ in Dundee in 1980 along with Adam & the Ants & Altered Images on the same bill , happy days
Top band , Seen them live in Dundee in 1980 Spizzenergi/Altered Images & Adam & the Ants
I love it l, not heard for 35 years
Awesome tune. I think I remember hearing this on Peelies show late at night and it's stuck with me all these years.
Lol, I tuned in to peel’s late show one night and by chance this came on.
I was just getting into drumming and at this stage just had sticks. Drumming along on my knees, I remember thinking that’s a really fast 4/4. Too fast for me!
Eventually I got it but playing it again now it’s still pretty dam’d fast !!
No pher bigger payed ot exc. Anne Moghtingale RIP nesd her cpttpn socks
"Oh Dad! We're ALL Devo!!
This is a timeless uplifting tune
Happy 90th Birthday, William Shatner.
WOW! I forgot about this song such a cool tune man I miss the 80's./ late 70's.
Gad to be of service.
So many memories
Still got this record 😁
When I think of Punk this is the jam that could mean to mind. Totally awesome classic!!
Team Aguilar
But so dated...be fair.
Love this tune. So unique for that period.
I do hope that William Shatner has heard this fantastic song.
I'd love to hear Shatner actually perform this song!
I found this song in 1986 on college radio and have loved it ever since
Two people disliked this? What kind of numpty wouldn't love this?
Probably Klingons or Romulans.
Haters with nothing better to do
trolls
Antifa they hate anyone or anything that doesn't conform totally brown shirt wankers
@@simonrobson7468 you seem like the type of person who didn't get enough oxygen as a child
Loved this song back in the day.
Great song a favorite

AWESOME!
Just heard this being played on WRSU in New Jersey...how did I miss this little gem back then?
You weren't listening to the punk show on wfmu in the 80's..
I remember hearing this back on MySpace this shit still slaps frfr
Used to go mental weekly at the Marquee in the 70s
fucking awesome
Classic
I love that I found this cause I happen to be a big fan of old euro punk bands and Star Trek
8 December 2019, Palermo, Sicily.
It took me 40 years and the invention of the internet, as well as internet radios, to discover this brilliant song.
Tom Robinson has just played it on BBC Radio 6.
Congrats
Meglio tardi, che mai!
I liked Sicily!!
Buy the Rhino records punk compilation, real gems on it.
First album on LP I bought TRB Power In The Darkness, Have the Spizzenergi single. Loved it when I heard it. Didn't need the internet.. Though I am Sicilian too! All purchased in London 79/80..
Great electro punk, discover for me .... thank you r u electric
Eh?
This should be No. 1 now on ALL the Billboards!!
great song !!!
Hi Spizz recorded you at Watercloxx Studios Stansted Abbotts in 88,still Rocking
Ali.😊
One of the first bands I had to buy everything they released back when I was a vinyl junky
Formidable!
Just brilliant.
The quiz master from the quiz called "Blokken" on Belgian television brought me to this, never heard of this before.
Never heard this before, but I dig it.
Excellent!
woof!
great band, great singer, epic song
Brilliant! Haven’t heard this since god knows when.Great metaphors for the changes you go through.
This is a fantastic song love the b-side of this one too ... Amnesia 😆
When they used to play this track live back in the day I swear it was titled 'Rhodesia.' I was wrong of course.
That's even cooler than the 7 inch I wish I still had!
Pickard rocks to this in his ready room.
This will blow up your Tube algo.
Love this Tunagege
The original Captain Kirk was BANNED from opening a lingerie shop in ( put your town here) because of the name SHATNER PANTIES
I took one look at that outfit and thought.. Grudd!
👍❤️
Great times saw them play this as their "new single" at The Jamaica Club, Gloucester in 1980 when they had just become 'Athletico Spizz 80'. Supported by Dead Airmen and Wall of Sound/Noise, can't quite remember which.
R.E.M. and a fellow that goes by the moniker of "Glyph" brought me here.
Warp Factor 2.....still there
When you hear 👂 first time it like 👂 candy
Awesome ;-)
♬ "Star Trekkin'... Across the universe...
Boldly going forward
'cause we can't find reverse..."
I have this single ,and a friend of mine bought it a few weeks later .Amnesia
played where's captain Kirk and where's captain Kirk played Amnesia.Anyone else got this rogue copy.?
I still have the cover...where is captain kirk? missing.
I like the Urgh version best
Where’s Captain Kirk? In 2020 Xx
lol
Well we all know where he is today!
I previously learned about this song on one of those punk nostalgia tv shows that come on in the evenings sometimes and I love it! 😍😍😍! What ever happened to the revolution that the punk music genre was supposed to bring about!!? 🙄😒🤨
The punk revolution was killed by pop punk ditties.. ironic or what?
ALTERA HISTORIA DU ROCK
If William Shatner hasn’t seen this video... actually, it’s just as well.
This was Spizz Sexual around 1983 I believe not 1979
Wheres's Spock! Indie at is finest
If you were making a playlist, Vulcan death grip by old gray comes next 👌🏽
Spock's Missing !
Solihull’s finest !
The dogs nuts
Theme song for Shatner's little trip?
But this footage IS NOT from 1979
I think you're correct. I also think the audio track was edited into this performance capture. Still, it was nice to hear it again.
With his mate Jeff?
1979, and where did George Miller get the costume inspiration for Mad Max 2? which was 1981...
Devo anyone
I'd say Hawkwind as well
Were they also Athletico Spizz 80
Yes. They went under a few different names featuring Spizz.
Birds
The Sanitys do a great cover of this
Spock's missing...
A FB post brought me here. Jeff Bezos has a lot to answer for
Can't be from 1979, there is no Jim Solar there?
I suspect it's a promo filiming session with some stand-in musos
Just got a FB reply from Spizz:
"..... filmed 1986 Spizzsexual with Pete Petrol coming as special guest for the encore - filmed by film students but sound was missing so I edited the original release to the footage & popped it up on UA-cam some years ago"
@@UKAlanR I filmed it. 1986.
@@chrismaris Was this footage of the actual gig or invited audience for filming? im curious cos if it was the gig then im 99% sure i was there. saw spizz at marquee 3 times.
official video my arse
Does anyone know if the lead singer is gay as he is tripping my Gaydar? Great song BTW.
Spizz oil spizz energi, which band ?
Energi
wheres Spock?
Craig Mallinson
Where's captain kirk ?
Spocks missing
Where's the Gorn?
Pogo much?
Urgh!
Where, in fact, is Spock?
Spizz looks like Gary Glitter here. ;)
Post-punk meets prog: the bass diminuendo is totally ripped off from sci-fi classic Cygnus X-1 by Rush. Both are brilliant. Play this to anyone who doesn't think that Star Trekking is rubbish.
I'm looking for the real McCoy
Whole band, despite their various styles, have a late '80s look. No way this Marquee gig vid is from 1979.
+Clive B - totally possible, band was way ahead of its time
No, mate. What you see, as opposed to what you hear, is clearly footage from the eighties.
+Clive B This looks like a montage of various stage performances. The only other member of 1979 Spizz Energi visible here is Pete Petrol, seen very briefly to the right of Spizz (as viewed) at 0:48. Where that section of the stage is visible later there is at least one other guitarist. While the use of a similar camera position make it look like this video is of one performance, it is certainly made up of many takes - the variety of band members suggests the footage spanned some length of time, or they spliced in archive footage such as that of Petrol (who, incidentally didn't play in the band by the time the single was recorded/released, but had I believe had co-written it).
Just got a FB reply from Spizz:
"......filmed 1986 Spizzsexual with Pete Petrol coming as special guest for the encore - filmed by film students but sound was missing so I edited the original release to the footage & popped it up on UA-cam some years ago"
@@UKAlanR I was thinking this, I saw Spizz at the Marquee sometime mid-80s. The support act was a performance art duo who did a very long version of "Mellow Yellow" and Spizz had to come out and defend them from the abuse they were getting from an impatient audience. Memory not good enough to recall if this includes footage from that gig, although the shoulder epaulette things on his outfit ring a vague bell.
