The change just before the three-minute mark signals a piece of this 'punk suite' which sounds very much like 1970s folk-rock band Steeleye Span. Crass attracted much criticism for their 'lentil-growing, commune-dwelling hippy anarchists' stance but some of their music was a fresh and welcome departure from sub-Ramones orthodoxy. Case in point is this suite, which utilises elements of 1970s 'progressive rock', namely the segmented 'episodic' construction, progressing through differing tempos and musical constructs. Another welcome thing (though not by all) was Eve Libertine's unapologetic middle-class tones; a bold move when to many 'punk' was supposed to be a 'working class phenomenon' (which it in part was; but there was so much more to it. Punk literally contains multitudes) and many a 'punk' vocalist strove to sound cod-Cockney, regardless of their background.
F.f sake will you lot slaggin steve aff .get a grip on yourrselves .steve doing his own thing .which he is entilted to do. Just like u are .and i am .steve keep on rockin
Yeah you'll shake your arthritic hands at us I was four when they broke up and I'm forty now this is for all of us it's not like he's recording NEW songs as crass it's just celebrating the songs live....loosen up twat
seen crass a thousand times have grown up with them,this isnt crass,its a pale easily consumed version,all too polished and perfect,crass were,nt just a band to most people they were a inspiration to get off your arse and do something to change things for the better,this makes me sad hearing this,there are some things best left alone and this is one of those things,sounds like a fuckin karaoke track played by session musicians to sing along to in their local pub,if you want to hear crass,buy their records and make sure they dont come from hmv or any shite outlet,c,mon you lot otherwise all this was for nothing and you missed the point,,,,ATB Andy.
I am 53 and also see your point but from all the Steve Igs vids I've put up lots of the younger generation who weren't even born have appreciated seeing the videos and Steve.
I get where your coming from. But I feel today's generation need a taste of this. I think its important. This band, these songs, changed my life 25 years ago. I actually am not bothered by seeing all of this.
My Japanese grandfather got me into Crass back in highschool. I love this band
Hey! I added lyrics to this to play for my high school history students. Hope you're cool with that. Crass Bloody Revolutions
Every skateboard I've ever owned has a crass sticker under the wheel on the nose.

Polo shirts with the Crass sign on FFS!
Get fxxed working class skins wear those shirts it's not a fuckin polo ffs
Crass has always worn what could be considered a uniform. Black collared shirts and black trousers.
It's called punk rock which is more than stereotypical uniforms.
Wow! Destroy power not people!
3:15 Fuck sake Gizz Butt, cheese metal divebomb in the middle!!
This is not Crass. It's nothing like being at a proper Crass gig. People who saw them back in the day just shake their head sadly at this.
Yeah you'll shake your arthritic hands at us I was four when they broke up and I'm forty now this is for all of us it's not like he's recording NEW songs as crass it's just celebrating the songs live....loosen up twat
What's wrong with it?
Panq iz daide
Le désordre, c'est l'ordre moins le pouvoir.
"Crass" ne voulait pas de désordre, ils voulaient l'anarchie et la paix
Nice Hammer signs Come on you Irons
What
wheres eve
whos the burd?
better than the shepards bush one
In the American sense they are not punks but Hippy rap artists. Can people from US even comprehend the lyrics?
That's not true at all.
Nothing but a Money making venture & everything Crass were against Punk is Dead

Just another cheap product for the consumers head..
