They never faded into obscurity, just like they never sold out into the mainstream. They did their time, stayed true to their values and eventually individual members went on to do their own thing. They leave an untarnished legacy, which not many bands can claim.
Everything about this is perfect. The music, the crowd, how bitterly cold it looks, how the sound quality just randomly changes 50 seconds in. Beautiful.
Before mobile phones & social media we always found out about Fugazi shows the day of, and had to ride our freaking bikes downtown to Lafayette Sq or even worse; up to Fort Reno. My god the hills to get to Ft Reno were like a cruel joke to a kid on a BMX bicycle but at least the shows were free.
YES!!! I was at that show with my brother and our friends. I'm the dude wearing the dorky black bowler hat. You can see me at 0:45, 0:49, and 1:31. Just right of center stage about 1 person back from the front. What an amazing day! I was 17 and a huge Fugazi fan. I was also very much against the war and loved going to protests (I was afraid they would reinstate the draft and I was about to turn 18! Plus I knew the whole thing was about oil) Such an amazing show. The crowd was raging. The cold weather felt good in the sweaty mosh pit. The crowd was rocking so hard that the cheap wooden stage they built was starting to come apart, and we had pause the show and push the flats back together. Aw man... this show was one of the highlights of my teen years. So amazing.
+ebarnsey I literally had the Repeater cassette tape in my car for a whole semester my Junior year of HS. That was in 1992 and in Florida. Fugazi sound made it down there too!.
Totalmente de acuerdo, quien pudiera ir atrás en el tiempo, a los 80 y 90 donde el punk era mayoritario. Cuantos conciertos de grupos locales vascos, españoles pero también ingleses e estadounidenses!!. ✊✊💣💣
Got to see them 3 times in my youth. Got close enough to observe that they were not very nice to fans after their shows BUT they were fucking brilliant rock stars on the stage❤️
This was me, today. Heard of the band, never listened to them. This video got me hooked! I miss the raw energy of live performances in the early to mid-90s. I hope someday we can get back to that and stop worrying about making productions out of live performances. Just go out with your instruments and a crowd and rock some faces off.
I urge everyone to give a listen to all their albums. I miss the energy from this time period, too. When I'm down, fugazi and others always get my spirits back up!
So true. I was looking up some Mission of Burma stuff 10 years ago or so, and a referral check out 'Fugazzi" popped up. Oh shit, look what I had been missing! Their album, 'The Argument' is one of the best albums ever, seriously. Great band.
fucking shit, that first line "Langour rises reaching" in unison does it for me every time. its so powerful, when yelled over those octave chords. the musicality of this band (and others from the scene) contained so much that we bands still do today. amazing shit
I was 15 years old jumping in that crowd somewhere. Growing up in the DC area was awesome! Fugazi used to play free shows in parks with what looked like 10,000 people.
This was an amazing show, but bittersweet. I was there. It all felt unreal because we knew it was all hopeless to protest; it wouldn't do anything to change the war, but it was a protest with every bit of heart because we knew as anti-war activists we had to be active. I remember being taunted by "counter-protesters" on the march down there as well. All wrapped up in the flag and chanting USA like a bunch of robots. All to protect our oil interests. I'd been at a few all-ages, sweaty and awesome church basement Fugazi shows before but this one felt so different, the crowd was not massive, ragged, but it didn't matter. Fugazi were defiant and brilliant as ever with the White House as the backdrop.
same as it ever was... I wasn’t around for these, but I remember the same at protests of the 2003 invasion that kicked off the second forever war. It’s aggravating that the people who threw trash at me during those protests now uniformly nod their heads that Iraq II was a pointless and bloodthirsty rush to war for oil and neoconservative pipe dreams. But of course, they still believe the people who were telling them that as it was unfolding were just a gang unpatriotic loons... When will the cycle break
When I was 14 years old this was the best band I had ever heard; on stage and off. Now I'm 35 and this is the best band I have ever heard; on stage and off. No one can match their tightness.
I cant even count how many times I saw Fugazi live in DC. 89-90 were some good years. They were all ways doing shows for local charities. Awesome band inside and out!
The best INDEPENDENT band in the story of rock music. This is beyond any discussion. If you can use the ears you know why. They've had all the attributes to do the masterpieces such REPEATER - technical skills, strong personalities, the highest intellectual level of lyrics, songwritting and arragement talent. Saw them two times when I was a teenage boy- in 1990 & 1992. Great performances!
I realize this comment is 7 years ago, but if you like Fugazi; check out Drive Like Jehu. Incredible band, and super unique while still having energy and groove.
First time seeing this great footage and I've got to say, I'm proud of 21 year-old me's taste in music back in 1991. Their music has held up well over the years!
I was at this historic show. Fugazi played a great set inbetween raindrops. I had a cold and a fever but truly enjoyed this. Great video! Great sound, too, for an outside live gig.
Incredible capacity to combine music and lyrics and live attitude. Hardcore poetry. Strange, fascinating marriage of mind and passion - or rage. The live scenario is also at tune. No compromise with what you are criticizing.
Fugazi got me in to hardcore and my band in the early 90‘s was reflecting so much of the NY hardcore age and our music was heavy influenced. Good old times. And it felt so damned right.
+Kanhaiya Bheergoonath Yeah, Brendan and Joe Lally are just a crushing rhythm section. I'm from DC/Balto; from this time, and saw Fugazi play a number of times (as well as Threat and Rites). In my mind, one of the best, if not the best live band of the last 30 years.
I remember seeing Fugazi's first live show ever at the Wilson Center in Mt Pleasant. I was there to see Marginal Man, but Fugazi sent a very loud message that night.
This video sums up so much about what Fugazi existed to be. They were as passionate and committed to politics (and essentially doing the right thing) as they were to creating incredible live music. I miss them. Thanks for posting.
I was fortunate to grow up in Northern VA (just a 30 min drive to D.C.) and got to see Fugazi when they did free or $5 shows at places like Freedom Plaza, Fort Reno, and the Washington Monument. They absolutely had a massive impact on me and still do to this day.
One of the best live bands ever. Great video too, sums up the experience of seeing fugazi live neatly in 4 minutes. Total cathartic energy release. Never missed a chance to see these guys back in the day 👍
Brendan Canty is an INCREDIBLY underrated drummer. He's probably the only drum i know with musically perfect drumming, just goes so well with each song.
Heck ya. That have such a unique take on punk. Groovy. Passionate. Musical. And heavy as hell. Nick Mason of PF is a very musical drummer too. “Echoes”
Best gigs! Everybody a friend. All shows were all ages, folks looked after each other, danced and moshed litres of sweat, got lectured by Ian or Guy to calm down. Then back into it... many, many friends were made. Introduced my little sister to the world of Gigs and punk rock, first gig she ever saw when she was 15 (?), she dragged her whole year to the gig, in Sydney, Australia.
Everyone wants to have lived during the 60s or 70s. I get it, but I would have loved to live in the US in the late 80s and early 90s. So many awesome, powerful and independent bands - Fugazi, Nirvana (early) Mudhoney, Mbv, Slowdive, REM to name only a few.
Yo compré un CD de Fugazzi en el que estaban muchas canciones, creo que fue allá por el 90, por fin he podido escuchar otras canciones aparte de la que siempre encuentras, que es la más famosa. Al menos aquí escucho otra canción y en directo. Un admirador vasco de Fugazzi 😎✊✊✊
I remember playing the bass line from this song in front of my university's Public Speaking class years ago. I had never been in a band or even played for an audience before. I don't even remember being nervous. I was just in full-on awesome mode. It was so great. One of the coolest things I've ever done.
I once saw an interview with Ian (actually it's in the related videos on the right), and he said there that once a dude damaged his head really bad after falling from the stage, and since then they stopped playing every time someone from the crowd would start doing something dangerous in order to prevent accidents like that from happening again.
Never got to see them live...especially love this clip...Piccioto has this amazing air-kick he does while moving backwards at about 2:57 in...love it...
I was about to be born when this video was taken. I don't know if that says something about me, but Fugazi's music and politics had such a huge impact on who I am today.
such an amazing band. their albums are wonderfully recorded as well. i may be isolated in the music i listen to but i find there to be a lot more sonic depth in a fugazi album than in other "punk" style bands.
In the 1990's, I had the good fortune of seeing Fugazi in a crap city (Halifax) on the east coast of canada in a small venue and it was the most amazing, memorable show I ever saw. (next best thing to seeing Minor Threat)

Yeah it's only Fugazi and Metallica :)
@@SxSxG666 metallica?
Trust me, they were mainstream. They were in Spin Magazine, a very mainstream college oriented magazine for music and Noise.
Great Post Punk scene too.
@@alanhansmannkurtcobain8811 There is a difference between popular and mainstream.

Lmao. True.
That drummer is fucking incredible
All the musicians in Fugazi are phenomenal. Special shout out to Joe Lally! Super talented bassist.
My sentiments exactly. Thank you!
Yeah, but if you've been in a band, probably your drummer is not so talented as you think.
Joan Saag agreed

It's freezing cold and wet outside and of course Fugazi doesn't care and is playing free in a park
January 12, 1991 Lafayette Park Washington DC
that was a brown comment

Is that a ween reference
@Pedro Va It was a protest against the coming war with Iraq. The first one. Desert Storm. That's in front of the White House.

+John Koehler nothing more rad than a kid on a BMX bike rolling to a Fugazi show. The Radness!
i would give everything for a Fugazi show
yes me too Shiro!
Amen to that.

Where is this show?
Jeallouuuss! So rad!
Moments like this in history makes me wish time travel was possible
If only I could revisit this... Fugazi was such a milestone
No need to wish! The camera is a time travel device! You did it!
Every time I saw Doctor Who I have the same tought. Save the universe? Nah lets go to some epic historyc shows XD
Totalmente de acuerdo, quien pudiera ir atrás en el tiempo, a los 80 y 90 donde el punk era mayoritario. Cuantos conciertos de grupos locales vascos, españoles pero también ingleses e estadounidenses!!. ✊✊💣💣
saw them in Paris in the 90's just before ''Afghan Whigs"". Amazing!
I would give anything to see this band live.
nayzany Me too my friend!
Sameee
Got to see them 3 times in my youth. Got close enough to observe that they were not very nice to fans after their shows BUT they were fucking brilliant rock stars on the stage❤️
w/The Make-up & Branch Manager '94.
One of the top 3 shows on my all-time list. Fucked my shit up.
Usually you would've needed just ten dollars. Saw them 4x. and it was worth EVERYTHING.
Can you imagine someone who's never knew Fugazi, walking down the street and stumbling on this? Instant fan convert I would bet. Such a powerful band.
This was me, today. Heard of the band, never listened to them. This video got me hooked! I miss the raw energy of live performances in the early to mid-90s.

I did too

Me today
Don’t forget ....💕

Fugazi are one of those rare bands that come along every once in awhile that pour as much passion into their music as possible.
Fugazi is everything.
Gabriela Sousa exactly, they care of everything.

The other reasons were Tom Petty and Paul Weller.
Haha thats the first thing i thought
@@hborgonjon8252 mmm dude totally, ive been FIENDING for one with a harmonica bridge like ians
Yeys.
Pure art... Simply the best!!! Thank you fugazi for your existence.
I opened for Fugazi in DC in 1990. I knew Ian's mom back in the day. They are all awesome folks.
If there ever was a band that needed to make more music, it's these guys.
no, they left at the right time
I was 15 years old jumping in that crowd somewhere. Growing up in the DC area was awesome! Fugazi used to play free shows in parks with what looked like 10,000 people.
I have watched this video more times than anything else on youtube. a perfect example of four humans connecting on a whole different level.
heh. here i am seven years later putting this on again after a shitty day.
I'm really digging that bassline.
A truly great bassist, as Rockette Morton. Fast and Bulbous
Joe Lally is criminally underrated
It starts and ends sounding like an after school special!
I saw Fugazi in Melbourne, Australia 1991, I was 17. I still remember it clearly.
This was an amazing show, but bittersweet. I was there. It all felt unreal because we knew it was all hopeless to protest; it wouldn't do anything to change the war, but it was a protest with every bit of heart because we knew as anti-war activists we had to be active.

When will the cycle break
I love to find these comments of people present in the videos!
I was on a Navy cruiser in the Persian Gulf in ‘91.
Oil is king
Oil is too important to be left to the Arabs. - Henry Kissinger
I miss this energy. No one can replicate that now.
When I was 14 years old this was the best band I had ever heard; on stage and off. Now I'm 35 and this is the best band I have ever heard; on stage and off. No one can match their tightness.
Guy Picciotto inspired my whole fashion sense with this one performance!
I cant even count how many times I saw Fugazi live in DC. 89-90 were some good years. They were all ways doing shows for local charities. Awesome band inside and out!
One of the greatest bands in the history of humanity. Glad I got to see them in this era.
I love this clip so much. Dual vocals at their best. Guy's shirt and v neck jumper is perfect and Ian in his hat! Oh my. It warms my heart.
warmed my heart to see this has over 1mil views.
Real Post-Hardcore!!
Roberto Martinez real punkrock
Real music with faith in its power of touching people's heart
Real.... Music?
Real emo
tbf they kind of invented post-hardcore so yea about as real as it gets
Incredible band in every way. Great songs, incredible musicians, great messages and they sound incredible live. One of my favorite bands.
One of the best videos I have ever watched.
Thanks UA-cam algorithm, didn’t even knew Fugazi and i got recommended this. Just awesome.
Blessed to have known them and listened in my small town in Tuscany, one of my best memories of that period ever. Long life to fugazi
This. Is. INCREDIBLE footage. Way to put it together. Literally brings tears to my eyes remembering bands like this once walked the Earth...
i've been watching this video for 7 years now, and i can still say, one of the best videos on youtube
A truly remarkable moment in music history. There’s a reason this performance has nearly 3 million views.
The energy given by Picciotto voice it's as insane as the hype of the crowd
The best INDEPENDENT band in the story of rock music. This is beyond any discussion. If you can use the ears you know why.

Twenty years old and holds up as strong as ever. I'd expect nothing less from Fugazi.

Grandissima band. Non se ne fanno più di gruppi come questi.
I LOVE FUGAZI!!!! Wish I could've been there. Half a world away I'm afraid I was.

Post-hardcore roots bring Fugazi role model of generations
Wonderful. Saw them in Manchester UK about 30 years ago (god it makes me feel so old!). One of the best gigs of my life

Fugazi goes so hard, one of those rare bands that have never released a bad album. Ian is a genius.

so powerful, as powerful as any moment in rock history
Fugazi are so great, a new album would be awesome. They always have such a beautiful guitar sound.
Everyone should watch this video.. Amazing band and this captures the whole experience well.
That bass! Holy fuck, it's like porn to the ears.
+Kanhaiya Bheergoonath Yeah, Brendan and Joe Lally are just a crushing rhythm section. I'm from DC/Balto; from this time, and saw Fugazi play a number of times (as well as Threat and Rites). In my mind, one of the best, if not the best live band of the last 30 years.
Man Fugazi's so good at getting great audiences!!!
looks cold
looks NY
It's DC, in front of the White House.

He actually produced some sessions for In On The Kill Taker but ultimately they rejected those recordings. Check their book for 33 1/3, really good!
