[MESSAGE FROM THE CLERGY]
Welcome to the Clergy Archives, the natural habitat of one Ghoul Archivist who works tirelessly to collect and maintain the rarest of rare live footage of the band Ghost. This process of archiving is nothing more but an attempt to keep the footage safe and accessible to all Emeritus Church members and followers.
[MESSAGE FROM THE ARCHIVIST]
If there is one thing the Internet critics agree about Roadburn 2011, it's that you could not be indifferent to Ghost. Whether you liked the performance or not, it kept you thinking about it. The entirety of Opus Eponymous, with the exception of Deus Culpa, was performed.
What I managed to find in the archives for this show are the first rumors of the band-members' off-stage identities, as well as the first use of the "Scooby-Doo chase music" joke.

[MESSAGE FROM THE ARCHIVIST]
In the beginning Papa created the band Ghost. And Ghost was without experience, and tech crew; and their MySpace demo was sent to the Hammer of Doom IV festival. And Papa said, "We're going to steal the show", and the show they stole (at least in the long run).
I present the band Ghost's debut show, or whatever footage that remains of it in the Archives. Short set of 5 songs (+ Masked Ball). Although it was originally planned to last over 45 minutes, the band arrived on stage 15 minutes late, and there were a lot of mishaps and technical issues with the lead guitar (as you can definitely hear during Elizabeth), which resulted in this disaster of a festival opener.
