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!

 Another banger of a set from DEAD KENNEDYS, live in Berkeley, CA in 1981! Not gonna waste time writing much about this, as anyone clicking on this knows it's gonna be rad as hell.  A killer recording too, broadcast over the radio, though I'm not sure which station aired it.  Bless their hearts for doing it though, and for the person who recorded it as well.    - DH

DEAD KENNEDYS - August 11th, 1985 @ Underground Railroad, Morgantown WV [SOUNDBOARD]

This is a pretty good soundboard recording of DEAD KENNEDYs, live in WV in 1985, but it is sadly just far too short.  Still worth posting but I really hope the rest of the recording is floating around out there and that I find a copy.  They are playing with DRI, hopefully that recording exists as well.  Does anybody have some leads on that?  Until there's more, at least we can enjoy these couple songs.  Heads up though, Bleed For Me is just the very end, such a tease.    - DH

DEAD KENNEDYS - March 29th, 1981 @ Whiskey-A-Go-Go, Hollywood, CA [AUDIENCE]

DEAD KENNEYS!  Live in 1981 at the Whiskey A Go Go in Hollywood, CA by some clearly sexy and intelligent person!  It's an audience recording, so has a few flaws, but I still really dig this one.  It's from 1981 which to me could be peak DK.  I like all DK generally, but these first 3 years are absolutely bangers in terms of setlists.  And in 1981 seems like they had bigger audiences, but maybe not quite as filled by knuckleheads as later shows seemed to be.  Or at least, Jello doesn't seem to be in as much contempt towards them as he would be in the last few years of DKs.  So yeah, lots of energy and a setlist full of heaters, this one is a keeper.
