    It's amazing all of the audio and video we have of early Dead Kennedys' concerts, but so little of Black Flag.

      fallspeed and the fact that Black Flag had formed and played concerts much earlier than DK, you'd think they had a little more scrapes of footage and/or audio.

      According to Morris himself, they didn't get to play that much because they got progressively banned from every venue, they were blacklisted just when they were gettin really popular. I guess that explains why there's so little footage of them. The first good footage of the band is from The Decline of Western Civilization, when Keith had already quit the band

    • @danbam3411
      @danbam3411 6 років тому +2

      If you think about it, DK may have more early footage but BF does have more early input. The 1978 Nervous Breakdown LP plus the other Morris tracks (featured in Everything Went Black).

    Man, talk about history in the making. Few of the audience there would have heard this and one could imagine the sheer sonic blast of power and energy just blew the heads off those hippies and Disco freaks. I don't have to mention what the parents and kiddies thought :-). It sure was divine providence that captured this landmark moment for posterity and it sure is great to be a witness to a shift that led to something new and great.

    The two guys "fighting" in the front of of the stage are Ron and Dez, so with Keith - we have the first three Black Flag singers in the earliest of photos.

    Man this is so great to hear! Love all the BF eras, but this line up is really perfect and totally bananas. Wish they finished and released their first LP together, but I'm always happy to hear the Everything Went Black versions Keith did. Those rock!

    It's a pity about the sound quality, because this is easily the best version of "Machine".

  • @chrischacon7414
    @chrischacon7414 7 років тому +5

    I was hoping it might be a better quality recording than what I had but, no. In punk rock it was never that important about recording quality but, well, I focused on trading for a buncha live and demo stuff so I could increase the odds of getting better recordings. This is so early for them and, yea, I don't know of other recordings from this period. I'm just glad we do have what we do have and You Tube helps us share it easier.

    I was there. The cops unplugged them towards the end of their set. Not long before that the crowd was throwing basically the contents of a small grocery store at them, a rain of tomatoes and fruit and even packaged items. I saw a full beer can hit the stage and explode. But the funniest thing thrown was a tube of toothpaste. One of Robo's cymbals got drilled by a whole tomato, but it didn't phase him at all. It's hard to imagine a more perfect punk gig.

    I never liked BF after Keith went to The Jerks,Rollins' voice didn't seem to fit the bands sound. They lost their "flow" when Keith left. With Rollins they seemed "rigid". Thank God for The Jerks!
