BLACK FLAG - July 23rd, 1982 @ The On Broadway, San Francisco, CA [FM AUDIO]

 Not sure why this BLACK FLAG live set from The On Broadway isn't on Youtube, so I'm correcting that today.  Not sure what the deal is with this, I'm surprised it doesn't have an official release.  I see bootlegs on discogs and ebay though.  Here's to jamming it for free!

So this is a mighty, mighty set.  Perhaps my favorite Black Flag set, the one that if I had a time machine but could only pick one Black Flag show, would be the one.  Chuck Biscuits is on drums and that dude is just such a great drummer, he kills these songs. Rollins is intense, and everybody seems to play great, though I guess the guitar amp does choose to be uncooperative for a moment there.  It's just a friendly reminder that this is indeed live music, and so there will be chaos and catastrophe hand in hand with all the sweat and anger.  Sounds like this was recorded by one of the local stations so the sound is badass, though I did come in with a quick and hot EQ job to boost the thing up a bit more, now it's even badassier.  Be a cool person and play this loud, ideally with your preferred strain of marijuana and some coffee.  That's what I'm doing!   - DH

LARM - October 29th, 1985 Venlo, Holland [SOUNDBOARD]

 LARM!  Here's a rippin' soundboard recording of the band playing in Venlo, in 1985.  No idea who else was on the show, or even what venue it was.  Regardless, it's badass.  Gonna keep this post short because I have no idea what to write about it.  I imagine ya'll already know who LARM is, and if for some reason you don't, google that shit mfr!   - DH

Various Artists - MEXICOPILACION

 I've always loved a good compilation, I am always gonna pick one up when I see 'em, though I feel like I don't really see them often anymore, and if I do, it's just a digital comp.  Boooo.  So today I have a treat, this is the MEXICOPILACION compilation released on cassette in 1988 fromNo Estamos Conformes Tapes.  I think it's the only thing they ever released, but that's ok.  I wasn't familiar with any of the bands so it was all new to me.  Lots of very lo-fi raw as fuuuuk punk.  If this sounds like something you'd dig, go for it!  Get some!   - DH

DEAD KENNEDYS - August 17th 1979 @ Hong Kong Cafe, Los Angeles, CA - Early Show [AUDIENCE]

 DEAD KENNEDYS in 1979!  What a treat!  The DK's played four sets in two nights at the Hong Kong Cafe on August 16th and 17th, 1979, opening for VS.  Someone had the smart idea to record at least one of the sets, no idea if they got the others.  But this exists and I'm down for it.  I shouldn't have to say anything more about this, because it's the DK's in 1979 and also because I'm baked and trying to listen to this again myself.   - DH

4/23/23 EDIT:  I was sent an incomplete version of this set, plus a complete recording of the 2nd set, and the date on it was August 17th, so mystery solved!  Thanks to Vince for sorting that out!

SUBVERT - January 2nd, 1988 @ 924 Gilman St, Berkeley, CA [AUDIENCE]

 Today's offering is from SUBVERT, a punk band from the Pacific Northwest.  I know nothing about them, though I feel like I've seen their name on fliers and seen them get mentioned favorably on the ol social medias.   Here's a noisy raw audience recording of them opening for Neurosis and Final Conflict at 924 Gilman St in January of 1988.  Glad someone recorded this, as I hadn't come across any other Subvert live recordings yet.  It's an audience recording too, which is a nice change from Gilman soundboards I often post, which have mixes that clearly were not made for the tapes and can be a challenging listen.  Though this recording does have moment early one when it's interrupted by a young Steve Von Till yelling into the recorder.  It's a bit funny that this is before Steve was in Neurosis too, just him chillin at a Subvert / Neurosis show as a fan.  Anyhoo, hope ya dig this as much as I do!   - DH

STIKKY - April 11th, 1987 @ UC Berkeley, Berkeley, CA [AUDIENCE]

 STIKKY!  Here's yet another recording of this hilarious band.  I'm not sure but I assume this was at Sproul Plaza, it sounds outdoors.  The tape just says UCB, which I take to mean UC Berkeley.  They open with a Raw Power cover and then just keep ripping for another half hour or so.  A lot of these tapes came from Chris Dodge, so expect more Stikky shows and rehearsals to be posted over time, hopefully you dig it as much as I do!   - DH

NAKED RAYGUN - September 28th, 1984 @ Anti-Club, Hollywood, CA [AUDIENCE]

 So today's offering is a live set from NAKED RAYGUN, from the Anti-Club in Hollywood, CA in 1984.  Just in case you missed that in the title above.  Gonna be honest here, I am pretty unfamiliar with this band, so I ain't got much to write about this.  I think I've heard a few songs once, it didn't click for whatever reason, and life went on.  This is a post for the folks that do dig them though, hopefully those folks find this post and enjoy it.  Hopefully they are stoned and playing this loud!   - DH

ANTIDOTE - November 26th, 1983 - Washington DC [AUDIENCE]

 ANTIDOTE!  A classic staple of early NYHC, from a time period when their local peers would have been bands like Cause For Alarm, Reagan Youth, Urban Waste, and many others.  What a time to have been in that scene and seeing these shows!  So glad someone recorded this, as they only released a single 7" and some demos (ain't gonna bother counting the metal releases from when they reformed in the late 80's).  There's just not much out there, though a few sets have wound up on some re-releases and the Grand Theft Audio CD.  

So this show was recorded in Washington DC by someone out in the audience.  It's noisy and heavy and punk as fuck.  I don't know anything else about it, what venue, who played, or anything.  Not even the setlist.  If I do get anything I'll be sure to edit it into this post.  For now, just play loud!    DH

CAPITOL PUNISHMENT - August 30th, 1986 @ VIS Club, San Francisco, CA [AUDIENCE]

 A belter of an audience recording from the mighty CAPITOL PUNISHMENT from Fresno, California.  I don't know anything about this show, no idea who else played or anything, but I'm glad the recording exists.  Yet another band I was too young and too far away to ever witness live myself, so I'll have to live vicariously through these rough, noisy recordings.  The power of Capitol Punishment still cuts through, so if you like them, perhaps you'll be down with this upload too.  Enjoy!    - DH

HERESY - January 12th, 1985 Demo

 Today's offering is the HERESY demo recorded on January 12th, 1985.  This appears on the Heresy 85-87 compilation, but despite that I thought it still had worth as an upload to hear the recording on it's own, as it would have appeared on tapes from the tape trading days of the '80's, which is the time period this tape itself was dubbed.  So yeah, jam the Heresy, and get that LP or CD!    - DH

SS DECONTROL - March 4th, 1983 @ VFW Hall, Cambridge, MA [SOUNDBOARD]

 SS DECONTROL!  or SSD!  I'm not exactly certain if this is the right date or venue, I think the J card had the next day written on it.  But there's no known show the next day, so odds are this is the one.  I thought maybe it was the March 27th show at The Channel, but it's clearly not as they have to stop and restart their cover of Walking In The Sand at this show, and also they promote the 27th show at the very end of this one.  If anyone knows for certain, I'll edit in the info, or maybe just make a whole new post.  It does kinda bug me that Springa talks about being back in Boston, and I can't imagine someone from the area calling it that.  It would be like me being onstage at a show in Oakland and referring to it as Berkeley or San Jose.  No.  Nononono.  Lol, so maybe this is all wrong and I'll have to do a big edit.  Until then, just enjoy the SSD!   - DH

BAD BRAINS - July 13th, 1987 @ The Ritz, New York City, NY [AUDIENCE]

 Here's a live tape from BAD BRAINS that I haven't seen yet, live at The Ritz in New York City on July 13th, 1987.  It stars off with a shoutout to Circle Jerks and Living Colour, so I assume they were on the bill, which would have made this awesome show just that much more incredible.  Certainly envious of all those in attendance, though thankfully someone had the mind to record at least the BB set.  It's an ok sounding audience tape, I didn't do any EQ'ing, it's just a straight rip.  Perhaps someday I'll give it another go and spend some time EQ'ing it to see if I can improve the sound.  As it is though, it's Bad Brains, I'll take any and all Bad Brains, especially sets I haven't heard before.   Hope ya dig it!   - DH

VERBAL ABUSE - December 1984 @ The Ritz, New York City, NY [SOUNDBOARD]

 Kicking this month off with a rare soundboard recording of classic VERBAL ABUSE, live in New York City in December of 1984.  The tape just said The Ritz 12/84, so I am guessing it was the New York City venue, as they were having bigger punk shows at the time, and VA was out there on tour in December of 1984.  Not all the dates are known, there's big gaps with nothing over on the VA page on Metallipromo.com, but they totally did a few shows in NYC, that much can be seen.  Wouldn't be un  reasonable to assume they also got on a bigger show happening around then.  If anyone knows for sure, comment below!  Or I'll edit in any info if someone fells me in  elsewhere.

So yeah, classic Verbal Abuse with Nicki on vocals.  I haven't encountered any early VA yet, so it's a treat.  Hopefully ya dig it.    - DH
