At age 20, I went to this $5 afternoon show. My date was a gorgeous, little, goody-two-shoes Homecoming Queen from a local high school who knew nothing about punk music or the scene. She was shy at first, but by the time Fugazi was blowing the roof off and the mosh pit was getting all crazy with people spitting and throwing elbows, little miss priss was in there pogo-dancing up and down, hair all fucked up, and having the time of her life. She loves punk rock to this day.
I’m from Washington DC! I’ve known Ian MacKaye since the early 90s. Met him at a record store in Arlington VA. DC crowds in the DMV do not move no moshing no pushing we just stay there that is the true DIY show reaction. It’s very politically correct for the lack of a better word.
@@joepublic9535 That sounds a bit shit to me and the bands usually like a reaction to their work/art and dancing is the most satisfying way of showing you appreciate it. As a drummer i get a big buzz off of people dancing at shows i`ve played at, makes me play better.
I grew up in a trailer park in east Texas, 85 people. I was the only person for MILES that liked punk rock, last year I got to play at 924 Gilman, I don't care that there weren't many people there, I got to share the stage with so many legends.

This is great, I just stumbled upon this video, I was at this show! I remember how long the line was, for Gilman, that was a long line! But we knew what we were in for. It was a rad show! Thanks for sharing, brings back the old memories good/bad.
I was all of 17 when I stumbled into Gilman on a Sunday afternoon in 1990. The Offspring opened this show, along with Beat Happening, and someone else - Samiam or Monsula I think. All I remember is Fugazi , opening with the incredible Reclamation as an instrumental, and the energy in the room was off the chart. Don't know if it was the anticipation of seeing the dudes from Minor Threat and Rites of Spring (neither of which has aged as well as Fugazi), but this was one of the best shows I've seen, as I look back 27 years later.
Okay . . . I'm only 6 minutes into this awesome video but I've already clearly recognized my youthful 19-year-old self in the pit with my friends between minutes 2:00 and 3:00. The mid- to late-'80s were all great down at the Gilman Street Project so thanks for sharing some wonderful memories with us all from more than half-my-life ago !!!
Africa for Africa, Asia for Asians, White countries for Everyone?! If Gilman Street "anti-racists" are so unconcerned with race, how come they only have a problem with White schools, White workplaces, White towns, White Cites and White countries? I've never seen any "anti-racist" complain that any place is too Brown and it has to become LESS Brown to combat racism. Who do they think they are kidding? Anti-racist is a codeword for anti-White.
@@DontGoToHell I don`t know them personally but i should think they would get called Racist if they did play the brown/black card so white is safe as i assume they are white.
Every one of their shows I saw was absolutely killer unforgettable inspirational PRICELESS, and always only 5 bucks, worth way MORE. Integrity beyond belief, thank you so much Fugazi.
This made me cry. I miss my 16 - year-old self and all the crazies who were around. Things were so simple. It was all about working so I could afford shows, cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs. Who needed anything more?

I moved to the bay area 2 weeks after this show happened. I attended my first of many shows at Gilman shortly after that. It was Green Day, Econochrist, No Use For A Name, Econochrist and Blatz. Can't beat that line up. I'll never forget it. Saw Fugazi the following year.
Thanks to however posted this video just found it by a random search. I totally remember this Sunday afternoon show as a 15 year old punk kid from Castro Valley. Me and my friends had been going to Gilman for a few years so even when the show sold out, there were probably 100+ people who didn't get in outside, we got snuck in with one of the opening band's gear. I pretty sure this is the only time I ever saw Fugazi but it was such an epic live show. Man, I loved Gilman as a teenager!
So I shot this. I'm really glad this is out there and people like it. I'm curious how it got to be here. I'm moving and will look for the hi-8 master in the basement. I have the vandals and had religion from the time period... And lots of engage

Yes, amazing, no? Time moves fast as we turn into old people. I saw them on this tour, in Los Angeles, about one month later. Guy's nose was broken by someone throwing a glass ash tray.
I was at this show... it was my first time seeing Fugazi live - it was amazing! Also, if I remember correctly, the opening band was Bikini Kill - a couple of them played the whole gig topless - and this was before the riotgrrl thing was well known. Kathleen Hanna kept her shirt on, but was so sexy! What a great day - and in that DIY/Fugazi/Gilman fashion of the times, it was only $5! :)
There's a few Fugazi songs that I like a lot, and a bunch that I just kinda like, but Minor Threat being my favorite band of all time, I just can't stop thinking about the band that started hardcore punk...then they changed into something very, very different. As good as Fugazi is, I greatly miss Minor Threat (who I had the honor of seeing live one time).
Actually, later I realized I was at the show one year after this, in 1991. That was the one that had Bikini Kill. But my buddy was at this show. Anyway, yeah, those were the good ol' days. Great Bay Area scene.

I highly recommend them.let me know what you think? here's two songs to prove my point #1 step down, #2 built to last.make shure you watch them live...later
Yeah, man. I wasn't even BORN yet. What a fucking revolutionary scene it was, all those bands surrounding Fugazi and Bikini Kill. Just wonderful. So much guts and balls/ovaries. They really were DIY or die.
I saw them as minor threat in , hmm, 86 at The Anthrax in Fairfield County, CT, then again as Fugazi at The Palace Louisville, KY in 98/99 i think....best shows, same energy as this video, miss those days :|
Minor Threat broke up in 1983. So it would have been impossible for you to see them in 1986. The guitarist/ co singer Ian MacKaye( the guy in the red shirt) was the Former singer for Minor Threat. After Minor Threat broke up in 1983 Ian went on to eventually form a new band Fugazi in late 1986 but didn't get the set lineup and didnt play their first show until September of 1987. However Ian was in a shortlived hardcore band Called Embrace around 1985-86 so its likely you saw embrace play in 1986.
@@hellfire8883 so im really old, and years and decades are like melting away fast man, and i said this like 6 years ago, and lastly, this is probably my only comment ever on you tube. wow man. easy with the flame. nope, saw minor threat dude. 100% sure, just like, the 80's are my 60's, ease up jared.

I lived back then, and yes it did. It wasn't a huge Mall Culture/Hot Topic phenomenon, but the word did exist as a way to slag off punk bands that sounded like pussies.
well, i was a teenager in the early 90s, saw fugazi play in ireland a few times, and never heard the word "emo" till goth-looking bands like chemical romance came along about 10 years ago. maybe it was an american thing. nobody used the "post" suffix either back then, as in "post-punk", "post-hardcore" or "post-metal". it wasn't till the late 90s that bands like slint, mogwai, godspeed you black emperor and sigur ros started being called "post-rock", and then everything started being called "post-" something. now you have all kinds of old bands being retroactively labelled like that, which sticks in my craw as back in the day people didn't feel the need to pigeonhole the music as much. anyway, rant over. enjoy your day.
the term post punk has been around since the 70s...but I guess it was more of a music journalism bullshit thing. I guess it takes a while for terms to disseminate amongst the populace. As for all those other bands sounding like "pussies," my original point was that the emo bands today are so wimpy, they make 90s emo bands sound super tough. So, I guess in retrospect, no...Rites of Spring are no longer considered a bunch of pussies.

Fugazi and the whole DC aesthetic is that crowds do not move nor touch each other. I’ve known Ian MacKaye for over 25 years. They among other bands do not like stage diving or moshing he routinely calls out crowds for not being cool. It’s part of their politics that everyone is there to enjoy the show. Slamming into someone is perhaps ruining someone else’s enjoyment of the show. It’s the liberal DC politically correct way. I’ve taken many people from around the US to shows at the Black Cat and 9:30 Club and most wonder why the crowd is soooo “boring”. It’s the DC way of life!
@@joepublic9535 I saw an interview where he said he got tired of the violence at harcore shows back in the minor threat days. This show is like a year before smells like teen spirit got popular on mtv, but he said that moshing greatly increased at their shows due to mtv's influence. That's some of the reasoning behind his stance.
At age 20, I went to this $5 afternoon show. My date was a gorgeous, little, goody-two-shoes Homecoming Queen from a local high school who knew nothing about punk music or the scene.

Fugazi was the band who knew to play music with fun......Damn, I missed 80-90s Music
Fugazi is a fucking art, there is no time for mosh.
Very nice. Thanks for posting, I first saw them in Chicago like 4 years after this at a skating rink. They played some interesting places.
They only would play all ages shows, so that was partly why they played those places. Also, they would only charge $5 for tickets.
I saw them at the aragon ballroom in Chicago in 93. Huge venue, huge crowd, but still only $5. They kept their ethics no matter how big they got.
I remember they played at a movie theater in front of the screen here in Oklahoma City one time
finally got to go to gilman last month, but shame i never got to see fugazi there back in the day! :(

Dammit, I missed this show. Wouldn’t be born for two more weeks.
I was at this show. Got there by the skin of my teeth. But, I made it.
The bass line in the first song is so damn sick. It's pumping me up to no end.

How was I not into Fugazi back in the day? Went to a lot of fIREHOSE shows and countless other punk shows, but not these guys.
Like a lot of people posting here I remember this show well. It's funny seeing myself in the crowd way back then.
