I was 17 years old when i saw this on PBS. I grew up in a very religious and sheltered household and didnt have cable tv, internet or any secular music other than what i could hear on radio or broadcast tv or whatever. I tuned in right at the end of the interview but if you watch it, from that point on it never says who the band performing is until the end of the broadcast. My mind is reeling from how amazing the thing I just saw was and quickly turned to dread because i had no way of knowing who this was. Years went by before I saw a picture of Henry Rollins back tattoo and put the pieces together and figured out that he was the shirtless lunatic I saw that blew my brain apart. This performance was amajor stepping stone to me going down a very long journey of musical exploration and still gives me chills. Thank you so much for uploading this.
Damn. That’s a serious story there! I can’t imagine how cool this must be to watch for you. Awesome man! Glad you have the ability to listen to whatever the fuck you want now.
I knew that it showcased on pbs, and I thought I was the only person that knew that! Thank you for confirming my suspicions. He's also an avid historian. I got my degree in social sciences and I love the work he did with the History channel.

I've been searching for the full episode of The Rollins Band on Sessions At West 54th forever (I lost the VHS tape that I recorded it on when it originally aired) Can't thank you enough for uploading it, I got something back I thought I would never see again. As we all know that is a very rare occurrence in life, which makes me appreciate it that much more. Thank you brother
watching this at age 47 now nearly brought a tear to my eye… Loved this album… was front row in Dublins SFX shithole centre in 1998…. knew every lyric ❤
As a 17 year old kid finding this guy and all his bands has been a blessing over these past months. I’m in a stage of my life when everything feels like it’s challenging me and I’m mad for myself and other people and this guy fuckin gets it. Religious or not, God bless Henry Rollins
his music is like having a like minded friend with you, you cant go wrong with our hank. he tells it to you strait, no bullshit and strait from the heart...
Damn this set is so good! Every one in the band is so dialled in. I saw the Rollins Band in Australia around this time and it was awesome! Rest in peace to drummer Jason Mackenroth
I saw a handful of phenomenal performances at these Sessions tapings but also missed some EPIC ones, too -- it was "first come, first served" reservations -- you had to call-in
I was born too late to ever see Black Flag live, so the first time I got to see Henry perform was at the first Lollapalooza, and I’ve seen him a bunch since. Just an incredibly interesting and compelling guy. It’s great to see he’s back touring with his spoken word stuff after the shitstorm that the last couple years have been.
rollins forever! saw the rollins band several times between 1987 and the late 90ies. each show was enjoyabel as a special moment in music history! thx *hank the tank* for doing what you have been doin' ! 😎
This performance makes me respect this post-Haskett/Gibbs/Cain lineup, which I usually don't do. Mother Superior seriously rocks. Much better live than recorded in the studio.
The first time I saw ‘The Henry Rollins Band’ was at an all-ages show in Toronto on a Sunday circa late 198X-ish, I think it was at The El Mocambo. I kept thinking to myself ‘do some Black Flag’. He had just released his first album, I’ve seen him 4 times. I’ve yet to see him do his ‘spoken word’ stuff. I just hope he keeps dabbling in music every once in a while (which he seems to do...’Illumination’). He’s been a huge inspiration and influence in my life, a very rare artist/mover/shaker and philosopher. You CAN’T match his integrity. Edit, what does he got? He’s ALWAYS had a pair of black shorts PEACE :-)
15 JUNE 2022 um sorry im so late discovered this HOT muscled shirtless and barefeet vocalist hahaha i loved it! never seen any band like this!!! The good old days were the best
A top-flight performance from Henry and the band, and the Oh So Cool PBS audience (no doubt congratulating themselves for being there) just sit on their asses for the whole show.
This is awesome. I was good friends with Jim (guitar player) and Marc (bassist). That might be Stefan on drums but not sure. I remember jammin with those cats in high school and what fun it was. Wow
Should of been called " Give Up, Give Up Give Up, We're done!!!! Your music was over after this magic Right? Spoken word train came rolling in, I respect that! Your band days were over and you are not "Elvis"! The only band that will leave you with history and acknowledgement is Chris Haskett, Sim Cain and Andrew Weiss and follow up bass player for a short time Melvin Gibbs. This crew you gathered for an album that went nowhere.. End of Silence will be your greatness. I look forward to seeing this band with a new singer at the State fair now Covid is over .
Honestly, as much as it hurts to admit...you're right. Those of us who grew up with black flag and watched Hank transition to Rollins band were extremely happy with the albums up to "the end of silence", mainly because of the lineup. Those guys can never be replaced. Now watching this, even in '22 seems like clones of thr band
@@RedAlEarttDramaMeanWhoDat take no shit, this was still hard as fuck, these commenters are just pissed cos the cant get into like they did when they were younger, reminiscing about the days they could cough without hacking up a piece of lung...
@@fredzep01 i was so pumped during this experience... not cuz i was previously a huge fan of rollins per se -- just talking about their level of execution & the high level of energy & effort . they killed it! i remember the feeling of euphoria to this very day!

That’s the shit right there
There's something poetic, wild and heroic about his surfing pose.
I for one am all for it, reminds me a lot of Maynard and his awkward dancing. Maybe Rollins inspired it?
Admit it weve all sang along to Rollins band songs shirtless in basketball shorts at home at some Point hahaha
Fuck yeah 😎
Bro I was doing that to this video and came to the comments during the interview portions lmao
fuckin A, right now, but in a pair of khaki cargos, does that count ! haha
@@fredzep01 Ayoooo I did that this morning!
Of course
Damn this is the most jacked I've ever seen Henry

John Hiatt's introduction was so beautiful. It reminded of what Hank did with the IFC show.

Thanks for sharing this. Henry with Mother Superior. I really needed that.
Thank you for posting! Love this era of Rollins Band
Damn this set is so good! Every one in the band is so dialled in. I saw the Rollins Band in Australia around this time and it was awesome! Rest in peace to drummer Jason Mackenroth
Sim Cain was by far one of the best drummers for Henry Rollins, but the late, great Jason Mackenroth is SOLID!! RIP.
Truly awesome performance. If you wanna rock and roll kids, watch this shit and learn!
I was there... front row! Fucking LOVED that performance!
What year is this?

What a drummer. Omg. Attention to detail and stamina. Intense.

I remember seeing this on T.V a loong time ago wow thanks for uploading ! This is like VHS days ! What a performance.
This is rocking.
Not remotely comparable to the original Rollins Band line-up, their intensity was off the charts
Not seen this before. Thanks for uploading!
The single row of flat silhouettes of an audience is priceless.
This performance makes me respect this post-Haskett/Gibbs/Cain lineup, which I usually don't do. Mother Superior seriously rocks. Much better live than recorded in the studio.
Saw the south Florida show around 2001, what a throwndown it was, Mother Superior opening and then Rollins Band!

Huge inspiration!⚕️I got to see him in NOLA on the coke in and burn tour!🔥🔥‼️👊
"Part animal, Part machine"! 🤘
Dude just pounds with precision. Relentlessly beautiful.
I fucking love this man!
Cought this tour in Philly. Electric factory I believe. Cool seeing jh interview him.
SO SMART AN AND POWERFULL PERSONALITY,I LOVE HIM,
The THICK NECK AND THE VOCAL OF ROLLINS ♥️✊✊🤘🤘🤘🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🥀🥀
and powered by vegetables, how the fuck is that even possible
este hombre tiene una puesta en escena categoricamente desmesurada. Bravo por el maximo exponente americano de nuestros dias,
Rollins band with a Zappa reference, legit !
Amen & Hallelujah to World Citizen - the honourable Sir Henry Rollins the highest Pries Prophet of Punk, Poetry, Wise Sage and Rock God of the ages!!!

The superior Rollins band always rocked harder than the jazz version.
This is holy to me.
For my this performance is so fucking great great 🔥❤️ aguante rollins band🔥
Épic!!!!!
Is this recording available for purchase as an album in better audio quality, does anyone know? Love it!
Saw the end of silence band in the U.K.then the Weight tour and the MS line up.
All where great,but the MS tour was the best.
GET SOME GO AGAIN!
This is awesome. I was good friends with Jim (guitar player) and Marc (bassist). That might be Stefan on drums but not sure. I remember jammin with those cats in high school and what fun it was. Wow
Jason Mackenroth on drums here, he passed away in 2014. Powerhouse drummer.
Énorme et puissant ☀️☀️☀️
Agreed!
Motivación
Mother Superior. Great band. Went well with HR.
I've never really been a Henry Rollins fan but this was a pretty good performance
This incarnation of the band was just MURDEROUS. Zero prisoners taken, firing on all fronts. And Henry at 40 full intensity. HAIL!🤘
Thx
In the words of "Spinal Tap" but this goes to Eleven. i wish this was released on cd .
Say what you will, but that band freakin' SMOKED!
Such a tight band!
steve oh sings so cool
doomsday Jazz!
Thank you. If I didn't see Self opinion.I wouldn't be here. Period. Thank you Henry Rollins.
Anyone know when this was recorded/broadcast? Seems like from the Get Some Go Again album
My guess would be 2000, possibly 2001.
J adore ce côté MC5 Stooges sacré Henry Rollins je t'aime
Good ass drummer
Henry Rollins bobbing and dancing around reminds me a lot of Maynard and his "awkward dancing". Maybe Rollins inspired it?
Still cant a band that match this style
That alignment is out of this world. Someone knows the name of the bass player?
Can't think of his name but all of Henry's band had another band called Mother Superior
@@hotrod666able Marcus Blake
Marcus Blake

What year would this be?
Bloody great!
2000
Was that Warrel Dane (Nevermore) on guitar?
Live off girlfriend, say how life's hard...That's gold Henry 👊👍
Круть!
Talk is talk. Kill is kill.
That guitarist wanted to be stevie so bad .
No Sugar Sim Cain, no Hasquett...No Rollins Band, just Rollins
Truth.
Letsgobubblegum.... Damn.
I prefer the earlier Rollins Band line ups...this is group is ok.
I remember coming home from work and catching this. First time I found out he got rid of Chris and Sim. This version is not good.
If tuco Salamanca had a rock band
5:02….let the therapy begin 👍🤘😁
I didn't read. Enough
2:11!? Kids?
And nothing of it matters anymore because the music industry is dead.
I love me some Rollins but this is kinda cheese
Last rollins band album line up and songs all junk.
