Tape of a live show broadcast on 3-LO FM Radio. Absolutely blistering show, complete with a few censor beeps during the dirty bits. 

THE NUNS

length: 47 minutes

No question that the late 1980s were ten years remived from the most important era for THE NUNS, but save the ill advised "Gimme Danger" cover, this set is still shit hot. Even though it was recorded a year after the release of Rumania, it seems obvious that the band new what their fans wanted. Also - Alejandro Escovedo was a founding member of THE NUNS, which attaches their legacy to SANTANA, RANK & FILE, SHIELA E., THE ZEROS and who the fukk knows how many others.

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.

HÜSKER DÜ

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.
