Saw X in 1982 at Numbers in Houston, Texas. Sat on the stage. Got an Exene autograph after show. Thanks for posting this album. I listened all the way.
That Numbers show may not have been the best live performance I've ever seen, but it was damn sure in the top 5. Had been a fan since the first album but still wasn't entirely prepared for the power of their live show. I had a Vespa P125 then, which I rode to the show. Billy Zoom would've probably appreciated it if he'd seen it. Have seen them maybe a half-dozen other times since then, most recently two nights ago on what they're saying is their final tour. Thanks for 45 years of memories and great music.
OMFG!!! Those were the days! I remember X in Tempe AZ and it was a small venue, I was a college dood,,, what a party memory and the dancing to this back in the early '80s can never be matched. X, Da-Da, The Romones, The Romantics, Captain America, Go-Gos, so many other bands during this period. Totally hit the gold mine!!! Listening to this on high volume takes away all the stress of the day and the flush of good memories pours in!
I wrote a long comment describing the wildfire tendencies around LA but YT flagged it as violating the community guidlines, no matter how I edited it. I'll just say thank you for being concerned. Perhaps they consider the topic too touchy a subject? I'm not sure. I read and reread my comment encapsulating 25 years of experience there. I even reread the actual community guidelines. I just deleted the entire thing. Your empathy is very much appreciated.
![X "Intro & Your Phone's Off the Hook, But You're Not" live @ The Wilbur, Boston, MA [09-23-24]](/img/n.gif)
Powerful, beautiful, every song instantly memorable. One of the best rock 'n roll records.
Yup
One of the best albums ever
John, Exene, Billy, DJ, they are true legends of punk rock

Ultimate American punk band originals. Much love forever ❤
And they are still doing shows, amazing!
I love the fact that this ground-breaking album was less than 28 minutes long.
Thanks friends for posting this wonderful music.
Best bad ever! Love these guys!
The way they opened with "Los Angeles" is my number one musical memory.
One of my favorite band’s final tour with their most blistering show in Charlotte, NC! It was perfection.
Great album great band

Billy Zoom is excellent
Pegged the needle on the clever meter with “your phone’s off the hook, but you’re not!”
Anyone in out there know how the fires in so cal.are doing?. Last I heard, fire was 60 miles north of L.A......😮

Ray Manzarek gives it that extra "L.A." edge.
