As broadcast on WKDU in Philadelphia the same evening as the previous (MINOR THREAT) post. Imagine being a teenager huddled up next to your bedroom transistor radio and getting your mind blown by this shit while your parents argued in the next room....

One of the first things I saw on the internet this morning was a flyer for this gig. SSD played too, and Al Barile from SSD passed away yesterday...Al seemed like a really good dude. Pretty sure I posted this show (or a part of it?) years ago, but why wouldn't you want to listen again?

Worth it just to hear Doc snarl "Cops For Fertilizer" at a bunch of civilians. Take a minute to conceptualize this set, when and where it was recorded, and then reassess what is punk.

BAD BRAINS

venue: Max's Kansas City
location: New York City, New York, USA
date: ?? February 1979
length: 45 minutes

HERE
Notable not only for their well documented screaming energy, but for the hilariously long gaps in between songs. 30 seconds is an eternity on stage when nothing is happening, but I guess when you go that hard you need a break every now and then...or after almost every song? Pretty sure that the version of "I" that opens this collection is from a different set, and it sounds like this recording was likely mixed from the board. I can't imagine that this set isn't floating around the internet already, but here it is again...worth your time if only for Dr. Know's scathing guitar, which was apparently on absolute fukkn fire in February 1979.

YOUTH BRIGADE

venue: O'Banion's
location: Chicago, Illinois, USA
date: 03 August 1981
length: 27 minutes

HERE
Just over 20 of their 27 minutes on stage were spent playing songs, the rest of the time was complaining about mirror balls and the lights and about how no one was dancing...including a solid minute of whining after the first 0:36 second song was complete. Loose, unhinged, hardcore. Sharing the bill were MINOR THREAT and NECROS.
