Current Dead Kennedys are NOT Dead Kennedys. Reason(s): No Jello Biafra and STILL no new album. FACT(S): Current Dead Kennedys can’t write a new song without Jello Biafra and he was responsible for the music and lyrics.
Awesome! What I find amazing is that Jello pretty much still has the same voice and control that I remember from my youth! Glad he and the band are creating new memories here and now - no need to cry for the gone DK days!
I am almost 50 years old, been listening to Jello since I was like 12. Been to hundreds of concerts. The best show I have ever seen in my life was in 2004, Jello Biafra and the Melvins at the Great American Music Hall in S.F. with the Dicks opening. That show was out of control. So fucking old school. !!!!!
@FelixstoweFoamForge Punk was never alive. The Ramones were on a gigantic mainstream major label. The Sex Pistols were on one of the biggest labels in England. It was always an astroturfed manufactured trend and you bought it hook line and sinker. You have been sold a lie. Punk is dead because punk was co-opted and subverted from the get go. Crass was right when they said "punk is just another cheap product for the consumers head" and that was in 1977.....
lyrically prophetic to this day(and their peers like the Circle Jerks, Black Flag, ad infinitum in early '80's punk). I've had an edge knowing these lyrics mostly by heart, and waiting for the other shoe in the future to drop. It's dropped where they said it would each and every time. Thanks my anti-heroes. cheers.
@@hansemannluchter643 'Commie - sniffles'? Hilarious. THIS from the 'rebel' generation that has bent over and grabbed their ankles every time a DHS airport rent a cop has asked? FOR TWENTY YEARS?? All without even the BAREST hint of probable cause? Because Georgie The Chimp and Darth Cheney said 'evil doers'? Yessir - that's some real badass non-conformism right there. Remind me again - what's the Crayola ® terror threat level color code today? Mauve - or Burnt Sienna? Priceless. Jello would be HOWLING with laughter at that one.
I bumped into Jello at Aftershock Fest in Sacramento in 2019 after Bad Religion played. I was pretty high on molly and whispered in his ear "you're my idol". He swiftly followed someone he was with and replied with "We gotta get the fuck outta here!" I'll always cherish that awkward moment forever.
Hilarious. I told him he "saved my life" when I was like 20! He stared at me weird and just turned around! I was humiliated but I kind of meant it. Growing up in a Christian rats nest and settling for metal in 7th grade sucked. Finding DK meant the world to me.
Omg 60!!!! That's 60 year's of keeping it real 60 years of standing up for your beliefs and 60 years of not selling out. Jello Biafra open the minds of so many of us much love and respect you are truly one of my favorite celebrities
a guy I worked with mid-'80s in Seattle lent me cassette tapes which i kept for so long he had to ask me for them. i am 68 now and still enjoy the band , as does my son
I´ve seen him over 5 years ago in an small underground club in Germany(Glocksee) his vitality smashed all i´ve ever had seen before- this guy is dynamite 4 ur mind!!
The DK's in Wilmington, CA, Longshoreman's Hall---A Riot broke out during their set. As the cops were clubbing us, saying, "get the fuck outta here, the DK's donned their protective posture with gas masks as the tear gas came in. They kept playing instrumentally until the plug was pulled. To the fucking bitter end of defiance!!!~ loved it, never forgot it! cheers.
So funny to see this. The riot was caused by LAPD busting in doing what LAPD did back then under Comandant Darrell Gates. That was an organized / pre planned deal, they came in force and swinging hard. Such a fun night
Best concert I've seen in my life but if this if the latest work from him, I'll never want to hear it because it can never be as good as this show, Happy Birthday Jello
NOT TO MENTION, THIS DRUM KIT SOUNDS LIKE ONE OF THOSE PEBBLES & BAM-BAM "PRIZES" YOU'D GET OUT OF THE FLINTSTONES CEREAL BOXES WHEN I WAS A LITTLE, LITTLE KID GROWING UP IN EL SEGUNDO IN THE 1960'S FOR GODS SAKES. WOW.
I have been saying for years that there should be an 8 foot wall between each side of the highway so people can't look at accidents from the other side. Can't slow down to look at what you can't see.
Jello'o wit makes him the only person I can stand that talks about politics during a show, and everybody sill has fun! He's so intelligent, I don't agree with all of it but I absolutely love him for saying things like "don't argue, communicate". Nazi Trumps, 😆 I also love how he updates his songs for the times so they can't get old.
Jello is only 10 years older than me!? I thought he was 87 years older, lol. In the 80’s, he seemed so much older. That said, his politicking is still the same and nothing has changed.
The cool thing I think bout' Jello, is that he IS kinda older than the punk scene in general was....so he brought a lot of things from his prior generation too. Like a lot of punks were not really aware of what 'Biafra' was all about cuz' it was kind of before their time...I could be wrong about that.....maybe he was just more highly educated and historically aware than the average punk. .......( circa late 70s80s SF....i mean). ...now don't get all jacked up on me though, all ya punks who ARE well educated, from self or school..........

No Jello, no Dead Kennedy so.
Yeah he's very unique great lyrics great song titles
True. Watching The Dead Kennedys without Jello would be like watching Elvis's backing band without Elvis. Who cares? 🤷♂️
Jello rocks. Jello never sold out. I love Jello
YEP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol bullshit!
Trump shirt says sellout 110%.
@@patrickgarvey146 how? just because trump isnt hillary doesnt mean he is a good guy.
There’s always room for Jello!

The things he sung about in the eighties when I was a young teenager are happening in my later years. Jello is a prophet.
They always were but thats what makes us gen xers political heads.We know the truth!!

@@sn1000kBow down to no man except Jesus!!! Raise your standards my friend!
He doesn't care about any of you, he has enough problems dealing with the demons in his head.
Jello still has it! Hoping to see him sometime after all this craziness passes.
hes still wearing his iconic belt
But is it the same one?.....Hmmm....
@@dekemason probably gets it fixed every now and then
probably different belt but same buckle

still got those tapes...
Right on
I like the alternate Version of California über alles
I can’t wipe off the shit-eating grin I got as soon as he walked in on stage :)) How I wish I was there!
THERES ALWAYS ROOM FOR JELLO
Lots of energy is his voice. Brings back memories only Jello's 60 now haha
Lydon in bits - MacGowan in a coma - Mark E in a grave. Jello and Nick in the assendancy.
Without lydon and the pistols there would be no punk.full stop.
I actually know what you saying.
@@garethjohn6067 I love the Pistols, but you know The Ramones started it, right?
60 and still going strong☝💪
YES! THANK YOU!!!! Ive been looking for a better quality video of his most recent performances and this is by far THE BEST
Glad to have brought you to this great show !
I´ve seen him over 5 years ago in an small underground club in Germany(Glocksee)
his vitality smashed all i´ve ever had seen before- this guy is dynamite 4 ur mind!!
The most Imcorruptible person I haver knew of. Jello is my idol. He's 64 I'm 50. Punk for ever

******* Jello man he's a legend!! all that energy at 60. His shirt is also legendary
There is always room for Jell-O! And The Guantanamo School of Medicine!!!! There will never be another man like this!
The king of anarchy.Love the fact that hes still with us...thanks for being the voice of my youth.
60 and still goin' strong!
Best concert I've seen in my life but if this if the latest work from him, I'll never want to hear it because it can never be as good as this show, Happy Birthday Jello
Wish I could have been there. One of my favourite bands ever.
Love from the UK 🇬🇧
Happy Birthday for you and me !
No More Selfies is twatting tremendous. Need that song as a download like
We've just added the song list so you can jump straight to it at 20:06
Happy to report that I successfully resisted the urge to whip out my phone when I met Jello last year!
HERE FOR JELLOS 63RD BIRTHDAY
That’s two guys from Victims Family there, those guys can play anything
Larry has been in so many bands, he's probably lost count!
Aaaah yeah ; that voice. I remember that voice. Man I love that voice🤘🏽
Marvelous upload ♥
The real American punk.
same mind , spirit and power as at the DK times early 80es. Go on Jello !
Jello with Victims Family as band. Nice. Very nice
Damn, Jellos guitarists have that East Bay Ray thing DOWN. Sounds excellent.
God Bless Jello Biafa
Good stuff
There is no god silly!
@@HeadNtheClouds 1Peter 5:7 Jesus loves you
@@HeadNtheClouds lol nobody asked, i dont believe in god but still god bless jello!
Only Jello…Always hysterical!
Jello has stayed true always. Much respect to him. He will never sell out. A total Legend.
He sold out long ago.
going back to this to see what will probably end up being the tracklist for the new album this fall
When he was in politics, he had one of his campaign stops at an old pizza parlor by my house. Chill guy.
JELLO BIAFRA WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING
Jello was anti Trump though
There's always room for Jello!
Jello is a 60 years old force of nature
I think Jello always had the best throat for punk also Johnny Rotten, Joey Ramone, HR, and Brandon Cruz from Dr.Know
Jello for President !! Of California !! Uberales !!🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Great footage. Awesome show
one of the things I always loved about the Kenedys was the piss-taking sense of humour. Nice to see that aint changed.......
Damn he's awesome
Awesome band
Killer dark wing duck costume
Look at Pete workin it, might be the best roadie ever.
Guess the sound board had no clip meter.
man this is one tight band
Do the Jello Biafra!
Happy Belated Birthday, Jello!
Aww Jello is soo old...Wait a minute. Im older! Oh noooo

Jello is a brilliant vocalist and performer. So sad that he had to spell out what he really means for people with less brain cells.
Jello looks similar to "The Hamburglar" from McDonalds. lol!
hahahaha
Intro to Nazi Punks is epic...
why is`nt this guy running for president?
what did you do in the punk wars, grandad?
that is so funny. hahaha
His new album is hard as fuck.
