Dead Kennedys Live at the On Broadway

Well, here’s another live video. This time from the Dead Kennedys’ performance at On Broadway Theatre in San Francisco, California on June 16, 1984.

I’ve learned my lesson now the Minor Threat video I uploaded was the AVI file from the original disc. I was too lazy converting it to MPEG or DivX or any smaller formats that it caused problems. So now, I’ve converted it to DivX, so it’s smaller and fewer files.

Live! Live! Live!

Another day, another post. As always, I make it a point to have a “theme” for my post, being OC and all. lol. This time around, it’s live albums. Live albums capture the essence of the band and what they’re made of. Well, that’s how I see it and that’s why I love listening to live recordings.

First up is Husker Du’s Land Speed Record. Lots of people hate this album for reasons such as – “there are no breaks between songs” or “they played the songs very fast”. They maybe right, but in my opinion they kind of missed the point, which is the title of the album – LAND SPEED RECORD. No breaks between songs, they songs are played in double time – WHO CARES, it’s LAND SPEED RECORD for crying out loud, it’s supposedly fast…very fast! Whoa! Gotta take my medication. lol

Ok I’m cool now. Anyways, aside from Husker Du’s, I also posted classic live records from DK, Bad Brains, SLF, the Damned, Poison Idea and of course - the Ramones.

By the way, here’s the Betrayed (TRC Cassette) as requested by putanginas. I’ll upload the major label release of Betrayed – Again and other TRC releases in the coming days.
