There is so so much to say about this. Absolutely incredible. Another magic moment from 87 for punk etc. Bass is crazy! But like rest of the band having so much fun and looking as natural as could be playing so great. Clearly all talented and well practiced and played even at this point, and some of the best chemistry between each other I've seen from a band in a spot like this, blows my mind.
Agreed, while I do love the EP with Yelling and Hoboken on it because of the special place in my heart/history, the full length that dropped next (like what 1.5 years later?)was just so fucking beyond that it almost sounds like a different band. At least the clarity of production and instrumentation, though with each player and vocalist their sound is so signature it can't be duplicated. 35 years and 2 Waves of US Ska Punk later, people have tried. And pretty thoroughly they have failed.
No joke. These guys were just as influential on me as Fugazi, and more so than the Kennedies or Black Flag cos I’m closer to these guys in age. I thought I was the only one who still believed in punk by 1987, and I was just getting started, myself!
I was at this show! And woodstock! And at the nirvana show when they played teen spirit for the first time! Also my uncle invented exclamation points and I get a cut of the profits!
I remember you. I saw you in front of main stage. You were drinking dolphin juice and nibbling on cheese curds. I tried hootin to tell you about those elbow ticklers but you were too busy with your cousin that drools too much.
And it is rad to see he has been doing that heal to tip toe pivot and sway move he did until he got kind of fat, and even then, pretty much the whole time he played. I feel easily the best fundamental bass player in punk. I think he and post 1995 Fat Mike may be the 2 best ever for the genre. Mike gets slept on but when you factor in vocals and presence he is hard to beat.
My band played one fucked up show in Redding, CA @ the Plumbers Hall. Cops shut us down and Op Ivy ended up playing at a tiny house out in Old Shasta. Gawd DAMN …. they were just like this: PHENOMENAL
I have that same Damned shirt, or I should say my wife does, as it hasn't fit me in a while :(...haha So stoked I found your channel, so many amazing shows! I lived in SF '88-'98, was at alot of them, Not seeing the Social D at Gillman from around this time..any chance you have that one? Any Willson Gill & The Willful Sinners? (old friends :) Thanks for all these!!
Looks like this is the first live show these boys ever played. Once you know that bit of info, it's much more palatable. They get a bit better around the 14 minute mark. As someone who currently lives in Berkeley (18 years now), and who lived in Hoboken in 1990-1991, a few years after this gig was played. I'm trying to figure out why a Berkeley band is singing about Hoboken, NJ? I thought *maybe* it was going to be a song about Maxwells, but nope. lol I drive by 924 Giman about 6-8 times a week going to/from Whole Foods. Prior to 2020, you'd see a lot of purple haired kids lined up outside to see shows.
With Mohawk anything over 8 inches takes exponentially longer to spike than a shorter Mohawk can that be put up in less than 5 minutes. When it gets longer it takes much more effort and can't be done in less time than a cigarette burns
My very first duty station was Alameda in 1994. What a weird way to get introduced to punk rock by seeing a bunch of gatekeeping punks. Dookie was released a month or two before I arrived, and so I got to see a good bit of bullshit.
This video isnt how to get into Operation Ivy. It’s too bad this is your first exposure to them. Unlikely you’ll discover how great they actually were at this point. Sorry for your loss.

Yeah, the well-known tool of all professional bands, play a song twice.
its crazy that Matt Freeman still stands and sways the exact same way when he plays
My thoughts exactly
Crazy. It's like they are the same person.

I collected op ivy tapes for 5 years and I had never seen a first (second) show recording before. Very cool, thanks for the upload.
Can you post videos of these tapes?
If you collected Op Ivy tapes and don't have a UA-cam channel what are you doing with your life
@@Nolan_and_dad getting old and shitty lol
Release the tapes my man
Its so cool to think that no one there that night, in that moment, probably band included, really knew what they were seeing
What are they seeing?
They were hanging out enjoying their friend's band
@@nimitz1739 The beginnings of a legendary band
@@nimitz1739a band that became one of the most influencial punk bands of all time 🤷

Matt freeman on bass?
They got so much better from 87 to 88, this video is truly a document of evolution

I'm glad i found this. Killer VHS tape recording
dude. yes. thank you for posting. hope you're feeling alright
Dodging it so far. Thanks
This is a national treasure
well put sir

There would be a few more people if they do a reunion gig/tour!
So cool that this even exists! Get Dead sounds like what Op Ivy would have turned into if they’d continued making records.
Hell yeah! Don’t remember this at all, since I wasn’t there!
Thanks to keep it alive... This video is a treasure indeed!!!
I was at this show! And woodstock! And at the nirvana show when they played teen spirit for the first time! Also my uncle invented exclamation points and I get a cut of the profits!
I saw you at Little Richard's first show too! (and don't worry I sent your Uncle a royalty check for that exclamation point I just used)
Everywhere man….
What a superhero
Cool I remember you, I was at this show too! I took the video, played guitar, and I'm three of the people in the front row!
I remember you. I saw you in front of main stage. You were drinking dolphin juice and nibbling on cheese curds. I tried hootin to tell you about those elbow ticklers but you were too busy with your cousin that drools too much.
Run Forest, run!!!
Thank you for your service
endearing to see that even back then, punk shows had the same, "only 4 people plus the bands showed up" Issue.
Matt's bass playing is out of this world.
omg he looks like such a baby here! Where does the time go?
His channel is awesome, such an amazing bassist.
And it is rad to see he has been doing that heal to tip toe pivot and sway move he did until he got kind of fat, and even then, pretty much the whole time he played.

This is sick thank you thank you, so cool seeing them as youngsters

No way! Old Shasta? What was your band?
When I saw the thumbnail I thought it was vanilla ice .
I thought it was Bieber.
I had this VHS from Brownlabel! Many years ago.
The internet is great
GILMAN!!!
so glad i was able to play at that iconic venue
Me too, with Cavity in 1997
Awesome to see this retransfered! Thanks
Let's all give props to the drummer thrashin' out back there!!!!!!!
Unreal. I think that carpet is still on the stage.
Fun fact: Dave Mello still uses those cymbals.
Just the ride cymbal. It's so massive that he couldn't break it. He would play crash cymbals until they completely disintegrated/exploded.
I was just thinking what a killer drummer he was in this video. He plays with so much power, and a killer groove.
I was gonna say I used to play this music and cover some of their stuff and only the ride would survive😂
Big Wayne, all of Stikky and Murray Bowles up front
Martin from Isocracy as well
RIP Murray..
A very young Murray B's. ❤❤❤
Here to see Murray again 'click'
thanks for posting!
Wow great sound quality
WOW that plaid sure was in style back then lol
This is fantastic
thank you so much.
I have that same Damned shirt, or I should say my wife does, as it hasn't fit me in a while :(...haha
So stoked I found your channel, so many amazing shows! I lived in SF '88-'98, was at alot of them,
Not seeing the Social D at Gillman from around this time..any chance you have that one?
Any Willson Gill & The Willful Sinners? (old friends :)
Thanks for all these!!
No to both, sorry. Glad you found the channel!
Legendary upload
possible proof of time travel
0:26 thats the most Timest riff ever lol
haha
Uhhh that's Lint!
He looks like a cool justin Bieber
Wow. Thanks for uploading
The interior space is half the size now due to the amount of paint built up over time.
Beyond sick thnx
Tims guitar style is crazyyyyy
Seriously.. people think he's never plugged in.. but he's always been plugged in. He is so punk the guitar just obeys him.
actually, he gets ironically unplugged several times here.. but you know what i mean.
Thx for posting stay cool
Didn’t the drummer own a record store in South Lake Tahoe around 1998?
nice to see tim do the heavy lifting for once
Does anyone have pictures of Jesse with that mo-hawk at full mast?
Am I the only one that thought it was vanilla ice at first glance? Lol
i saw justin beiber
Justin Bieber justin even dressed like that
I was born May 18, 1987 @ 1:11am. What the hell are they playing a Sunday night for??
You're the type of person that couldn't fathom ever eating pancakes at night, aren't you.
Is that Jeff Ott that crowd surfed ?? 😳😳🧐
Gold 🖤

Hi neighbor!
The first 14 mins is still much better than 99% of the other first shows Ive seen.
The Stikky logo on the wall is a nice touch! 🤣 Did they play that night as well?? 🎶🎶🔊🔊
The flyer says that they did! Op Ivy, Stikky, Gang Green, MDC hardcoreshowflyers.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/stikkymdc.jpg
u can see them in the front so im assuming
Wow! Amazing
I'm melting.
Did he say at the beginning this is their first show ever?
He said it was their first song
young matt is such a strange look to my brain
Good frontman!
THE BIRTH OF AMERICANA SKA PUNK!
VHS home recorded doesn't really transfer over the actual music and sounds they made.
SICK
Damn, I didn't know that Justin Bieber was the original vocalist for Operation Ivy.
I didn't know Vanilla Ice was in a pop punk band
I thought it was him in the thumbnail,for a second🤣😂
Calling this pop punk is weird, but yeah I agree that’s really vanilla ice
Was just going to say Murray Bowles🥹
The bestttt
look at his hair oh omg ahahah a purple devil lock, thats some rare shit
Obviously it's a Mohawk that he didn't put up. Not very rare to see a purple Mohawk or a rocker too lazy to spike it up
With Mohawk anything over 8 inches takes exponentially longer to spike than a shorter Mohawk can that be put up in less than 5 minutes. When it gets longer it takes much more effort and can't be done in less time than a cigarette burns
Looks like Beiber
Yeah its insane and Bieber would dye his hair and backwards black cap
dead crowd holy shit
Looking like Vanilla Ice
wow 😍

Before the whole world got what we got from the get. I was at this lame gig (get it?). ❤
Get it, got it? Good
Wow. I used to think these guys were good back in my skateboarding days. Crazy how the mind develops
Damn, Justin Bieber used to be pretty cool 🤘🏼
Exactly lol
Sleep once sleep well only to awake in hell
Wasn't Tim's best work!
Is this jesse singing?
🤘🤘
🤯
Hoboken
Nobody remembers Jessie!
His bands are very underrated (Classics Of Love and Common Rider if anyone needs a pointer)
Everytime i see Bieber on tv i remember
かっけー🎉
That's funny...
justin bieber had a ska band? !
Actually, put it back down.
They sound bad. Cool video
Xtc zeter
who else thought it was vinilla ice in the thumbnail?
You need to go back and look at how very SQUARE because he does NOT look anything close to Vanilla Ice. Seriously.
@@le_th_but he does look like Bieber funny i always had a crush on Jesse but not bieber
Tim was such a try hard. Nice stage outfit with specially tailored hat. Joke.
Was... haha. He has always been very image conscious. Lars even more so
Get that money!
Had no idea Justin Bieber was in OpIvy
Never trust a punk with an Op Ivy patch.
The Gilman was the worst thing to ever happen to punk all the woke shit started there.
Ya gotta be kidding, right?
What’s woke?
Hahaha..:kindly fuck off. There is more punk history in that room than most of the US combined, outside a couple obvious places.
They were commies, sure, but some great music came from there.
@@davidlinehat4657 what’s commie about them?

Who?!😂😂😂 Im sorry, i just gave it a chance. Absolute garbage that should not be publicized

Are you seriously asking who Operation Ivy are?
@@mattb3043 not asking. That would imply that I cared.
Show? This is a room. This also sucks.
