artist: YOUTH BRIGADE (Washington DC, USA)
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.
artist: HÜSKER DÜ (Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota, USA)
venue: 1st Avenue
location: Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
date: ?? 1985
length: 64 minutes
HERE A pre-Candy Apple Grey recording featuring a healthy selection of tracks from Flip Your Wig and New Day Rising, this is probably from 30 January 1985 though the set list differs slightly from listings online and a few scattered videos. Not an impossible to find artifact, and well past their well documented hardcore fury, but this recording is still shit hot fire....and dropping a four plus minute version of the Elvis standard "(You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care" near the end of the set when you know the punks wanted "Something I Learned Today" is a straight baller move.
artist: LOST GOAT (San Francisco, California, USA)
venue: 924 Gilman Street
location: Berkeley, California, USA
date: ?? (1999-2000)
length: 32 minutes
artist: DYSTOPIA (Los Angeles/Oakland, California, USA)
venue: 924 Gilman Street
location: Berkeley, California, USA
date: 01 January 1999
HERE A board recording that suffers slightly from over-dominant vocals, but DYSPOTIA were deadly at this show. "This is the birth of 1999 - a whole lot of shit's gonna break loose probably in the next year...but we'll all do it together, right?"
