Today at 10 a.m. (GMT+2), the newly restored 4K version of the original video clip of "The Great Commandment" premieres. The painstaking restoration process from the original 35mm film reels was led by Rainer Thieding, the original director of the video clip.
The band liked the freshly restored black-and-white footage so much, with its new shine and strong contrasts, that they decided to forgo the sepia-toned post-production of the 1988 version.
