@@damiansaucedo9951 I blame two party system. Multiparty system is more about party policy. Where as two party system is more about the establishment, so even if you get right guy in power, they still have to give a nudge to either Democrat or Republican establishment
The true rulers , the 1%, have achieved their goal of illiterate voters and a carnival barker to delude them. They could care less about anything but wealth and power.
@@drewm1808 I go back even further with the punk scene, but I think 79-84 was when I saw so many Dead Kennedy shows. Where you at the show that kicked off Jello Biafra's Mayoral Campaign at the Mabuhay Gardens? I think that was 79. BTW, Drew M: Old Guys Rule!!!! : )
@@excelisfun Those seem to have been good years for punk rock! But no I wasn't there. I was born in 1978. I didn't start listening to DK until probably 1990. Never saw them live but was fond of Bedtime for Democracy. I had that cassette and one other, but I can't recall the name anymore.
@@drewm1808 That is too cool : ) You are a young Old Guy lol Cassettes - that is back in the day. Do you still have any of the cassettes, or do you just listen on UA-cam and Spotify?
@@excelisfun I actually DO have a handful of cassettes left. Mostly things that didn't end up getting played in cars. Many of those have passed away or disappeared. The best stuff. I have a few gems and a handful of mixtapes I once made. Nothing to play them on. I also ended up with a bunch of my Mom's old tapes ranging from Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes to Michael Bolton to the soundtrack from The Big Chill lol. But of the 4 tape decks in my home (two compact stereos including that old SoundDesign one that came in a wood cabinet and has a cassette storage drawer that is a fake EQ. I know you know the type. Everyone over 30 does!)
these guys were one of the most energetic and influential bands ever...and throught the hardships they endured to become an icon of anti-establishment, and a voice for the screwed. the song and the band are amazing
Best band ever. Such a shame they don't get along anymore. Kennedys are nothing without jello, and jello hasn't made music as well as he did when he was with them. Such a shame.
Jello obviously commands the most attention but Ray is the band. He shines so bright without even trying. Everything about DK's signature sound comes from that man.
Damn its 2021 and this song is just as relevant today as it was back in the 1980's and even 1990's I wish I could remember who loaned me their table back in jr high school or high school, they turned me on to great band.
Oh yes! This is great! DKs were everything to me as an angry teen...and more now that I am an "adult". Just brilliant, and this particular vid captures their energy, humour and power perfectly. It blew my mind....then again, that is what Jello does for a living...
Saw them in Atlanta in 1982. I was pretty close to the stage but had to move back to stay alive. I was 32 that year. Sat around outside the 688 Club for a while just listening to the conversation. The most outrageously-dressed "punks" were worried about their math test on the following Monday. The more dangerous they looked, the wimpier they generally were. Hilarious.
@thepurepunk He's actually telling them to turn the red lights (the one he's pointing to) "DOWN!". Throughout that whole show, they just kept turning those things on and he's baking on stage. Jello, a sweaty mess near the end, finally says during their encore "OK, this show's going to end right now if you don't turn those goddamned microwave lights off".
Haha I remember I bought a VHS of this set from a dude selling out of a hatchback in Moosic, Pa after a Memphiskapheles show. Good times, and this DK show was mindblowing.
It is. In the last few months I've been to two stage diving shows, Bouncing Souls and Jello the other night. The wildest I've ever seen was Rancid with the Adolescents doing the diving...nucking futs.
There was and still is a lot of bad punk bands but the Dead Kennedys were different. Their song writing was way better than most punk bands. They weren't afraid of TRYING to sound good, different and not exactly follow the punk formula. The way they looked and acted made their music better as well. They didn't have to be macho assholes in order to get their point across. It must have been a breath of fresh air back then, especially with all the macho looking guys in the audience.
I bought this fucking piece of history, the dvd live at broadway, I was 15 when I heard about the dead kennedys, that's when the biafra/ dks conflict was on... fucking historic band
@@rockthrower1847 Young punk him would call out his old ass, then rollerblade off.... By the way why did every 1980's film have post apocalyptic kids using rollerblades?
RIP DH Peligro. You were the badass drummer for one of the best punk bands of all time.
Absolutely!
Had a few beers with him in Adelaide after the gig.. nice bloke.
Wow, I'd kill to have a couple with any of the DK members.@@baabaabaa-El

they were the best punk band in the USA ,by a mile
I like Jello's actions when hes not singing.. Hes like acting out something! Its so awesome!
that's called "dancing"
that's called "miming"
It's the gloves!
Jeez their drummer is a complete badass.
He just passed away today
😢
RIP
@@ninetyfive300zx RIP to a absolute legend. I didnt know.

Would love to get Jello's reaction today to hearing Diane Feinstein died
He'd tell you to vote for Elizabeth Warren
@chill_guy10_cg idk what to make of this comment thread but here i am, lmao
The best hardcore punk band ever
I’m glad I’m not the only one who came back to this after finding out that Diane finally died

Dead Kennedy's are the pure essence of punk
One of my favourite DK songs, this show looks fun as hell.
0:03 - Almost 30 years later, she's still a dragon lady who just won't retire.
If you don't like this you don't like punk. So raw.. no great musicianship just pure energy and noise 👌
Back when punk was punk, and not the massproduced,soulless stuff they pass of as punk today.
its called 'pop punk'
alex kuepper aka shit
+Moon Man aka, different genre. plus. you changed your name to a dead meme. soooo
Moon Man your name is fucking moon man. Im not the one at fault
looking for punk I'm all the wrong places then my friend

WHAT A BAND WHAT A DRUMMER. ONE OF THE BEST
BAND EVER.
First clip that came to mind when I heard Diane Feinstein died
Lmao same here
bumping this for today
One of the best punk songs ever, man so kickass, I headbang to this song everyday come on🤟🤟🤟
reminds me of tony hawks skateboarding ;)
great game with police truck as title song..
14-year-old reply, but I thought the same thing when I saw this.. ⏰
came for this
i was playing it just now lol tony hawks pro skater 3 for ps1
"are u doing something wicked?" "No siree, Jack, just giving tickets..." Sounds like VPD.... ;)
D.H peligro has to be the craziest drumer alive.
When I was like 13 I downloaded this off Limewire and Jello was the coolest shit I'd ever seen
The best band of all time
I love this song!!! Dispatch calls are you doing something wicked no sireee jack just taking tcikets!!!! bloody fantastic!
Saw these in 1981 Liverpool UK. Great gig. Still got my ticket.
I love the kick to get the mic chord back towards the end! GREAT!
DH is killing it!
RIP Darren... and rot in hell, Feinstein.
Lmao best dedication before a song ever. Spot on with his description of her too.
KROQ 106.7 they played this epic music, one of a kind
Too young to have been there, but I for sure was at a few punk shows similar to this. 🔥🔥🔥
east bay ray is such an underrated guitar player
ah, DEAD KENNEDYS, one of my favorite bands of all time :)
He's the only person that's weird enough to pull off wearing a jacket like that
It’s pretty cool, love that leather patchwork.
Jello was always a dope dresser. The Sheriff belt buckle rocks.
Lol
RIP Dianne Feinstein....This one aged nicely lol
Portland punk rock! Really cool to see this!
God DAMN, look at Peligro go, bro!
The kick at the idiot pulling the mic is just epic!
Some good old school crowd surfing!
epic song epic live lucky all the people who see this band live
I have more fun today than 20 years ago with the same music. Awesome
the drum's so fast! the live is great
I love how genuinely pissed jello looks as he steps away from the mic after his little rant about Diane.
i like how some drunk lad just jumps on stage real quick then just crowd surfs again xD
Rest in Peace Feinstein. We'll see each other in hell one of these days.

this is pure rebellious kick ass punk rock. wish punk today wasn't all flashy and poppy
It is. In the last few months I've been to two stage diving shows, Bouncing Souls and Jello the other night. The wildest I've ever seen was Rancid with the Adolescents doing the diving...nucking futs.
i'm pretty sure these guys were straight edge!!
punks not dead,punks will never die
Me and my friend recorded an acoustic version of this. It was fun :P x

I was today years old when I realised this was the original 😂 (Megadeth covered this on their new album🤘🏾)
Diane Feinstein died today, and I wanted to come to this video and mark the time. Rot in hell, Di.
love the DK's my in god we trust came with one blank side to promote bootlegging... awesome!!
and flouride is such an underrated bassist killer
ok i love that bass line
Such a lovely jam.
Guess who (finally) f***ing died today with much rejoicing! \o/
What he would've done for a wireless mic
Missing the good old days!
RIP DH Peligro
Jello's dancing is so suggestive ha haha haha haha h
Ray's extended solo ruled
great preformerrrrr
I remember when I was a kid my neighbor and I stole his brother's records. One of them was DK and I never looked at the world the same again.
hardcore punk rock at it's best
Omg, I bet this must have been fucking fun to be there !!! *envious*
Oh I have to completely agree. I love it--surf guitar with tons of balls.
jello is a spaz(not that thats a bad thing i love his onstage moves)
meth is one hell of a drug
Amen to that... I am the danger?
notice jello kicks the guy grabbing the mic cord in the end of the song. priceless!! haha
This is a classic!
Yes.
I saw them at the Ritz at this time.
Woof!
LOVE me some feinstein shoutouts!! ha ha "dragon lady with no heart"
Listen to the best punk rock
D.H. ON DRUMS F#£KING AWESOME MATE.🇮🇲👍🇮🇲
Christ I love the DK's. They kick ass harder than the 'Pistols and I love the pistols. The Bill Hicks's's of punk. Great.
DK was another one of the revolutionary bands that came from the punk/hardcore scene in the 80's... especially DC ;) But I'm biased... Woot Jello!
ah! i remember when i first got in to them, i was like 12, im 21 now lol, good band
now you are 31
