      Exactly...The energy from this song is insane. The crowds energy feeding back in to the band added to this song and we're talking off the Richter scale. I miss shows like this from the late 80's in to the 90's. Special time for music and what it meant to our generation.

      Op Ivy summed it up with Sound System. Great bands are but a fleeting glimmer of pure energy that come and go in a blink of an eye in the timeline of human thought...the great ones are the ones that stay forever relevant.

    We are so fortunate to have this communal performance captured on film. And that someone realized it was worth saving. It's like original anthropological source material or something. To be preserved for posterity now that it is digitized.

    I saw them in 1990 I believe it was. In Montana of all places. Fugazi was always the people's band. They'd come to podunk Montana and play their 5 dollar shows. Waiting Room still is one of the greatest songs ever recorded. I remember how stoked I was when I finally got the bass lines down for Waiting Room and Suggestion.

    Fucking CLASSIC!!! Probably one of the best anthems for an entire generation. I'm proud to be an X'er myself. So much energy and soul was put into this. Since about 2000-2003/4 music isn't nothing like it used to be. Bring back true alt, grunge, punk, and metal from the 90's. By far, that time period was the greatest for music. Ever. What happened?? Now, there are shitty mosh pits. No surfing anymore. People are scared to jump on stage. Watch a lice Pearl Jam show from 1992-95. Alice In Chains around 1996. Soundgarden in 94. So much difference. We need a musical revolution...The 90's spoiled me forever on real music.
