I'm old enough to have been blessed to have seen the Minutemen 3 times. They had such an amazing energy, you could not stay still during their performances. They shook me to my core, great live footage here!!
Dunno if you guys cares but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch all the new movies on Instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my brother for the last weeks :)
Man, are we ever lucky that someone took the time and effort to film this show and get the recording out there into the tape-trader world. This was one of the first Minutemen videos I traded for as a teenager, along with their early '81 set at the Mabuhay in SF. This was when DVDs were brand new, and I didn't have a burner (as I was only 13 at the time, and they were crazy expensive - this was back when top-of-the-line standalone models burned at 1x speed and cost hundreds of dollars). Thankfully, the trader in question was kind enough to accept some live FEAR sets on CD in return. Back then I used to rush to the mailbox every day after school to see if a parcel of shows had arrived. When the Minutemen sets finally came, I was ecstatic. Both were high-gen copies, and the sound was washed out on the Love Hall video, but I was still blown away by both performances. I know the vintage on-camera effects look a bit dated by today's standard, but you know what? I can't help it, I love the aesthetic. Reminds me of being 6 or 7 years old and playing around with my dad's old camcorder. And in this context - being used in moderation - I really think it adds to the ambience of the set and enhances the music.
Every time I watch or listen to live recordings like this, I'm filled with gratitude in all kinds of ways... I'm grateful that someone bothered to lug a camcorder or a mic setup to the gig and spent their time capturing the set instead of dancing to the music. I'm grateful that they made copies and distributed them to others, so the tape wouldn't ultimately rot away in their attic or garage, unseen by the world at large. I'm grateful for people like the aforementioned trader, who bent his own rules and went out of his way to help a passionate young kid build his fledgling bootleg collection. I'm grateful that we now have technology like UA-cam, which provides us a platform to share, access, and preserve unique recordings like this in a way that is so easily accessible and available to anyone with an interest in the music. And I'm especially thankful that so many fans have poured their time and energy into ripping, converting, and uploading tens of thousands of live sets to sites like UA-cam, making them available on demand to fans like myself. I spent almost a decade and a half building up my collection (through mail trades and, later on, via BitTorrent and through online trades using sites like MegaUpload) before losing everything several years ago. It was an absolutely crushing experience, and I initially assumed I'd never get to hear most of the 2000+ sets I'd amassed by that point again. Sadly, that presumption has proven correct to a degree: 150 recordings or so had come to me in the form of vintage cassettes, as part of deals that saw me digitize them for their original owners and send back copies on CD. I hadn't gotten around to trading or uploading most of them by the time everything was lost, and given that I was no longer able to contact the tapes' original owners, many of those recordings are likely gone for good, which still breaks my heart. Fortunately for me, though, I've been able to find and re-acquire tons of shows thanks to the efforts of many individuals, who've taken the time to upload them to UA-cam or Vimeo, or share them via music blogs / torrent sites / Soulseek / etc... we are so fortunate to live in a time where anyone can be an archivist and curate a collection of rare media online. There are a few personal favourites of mine - Colin Newman's 1981 set in Toronto immediately comes to mind - that I hunted for years to no avail, eventually thinking that they too were likely gone forever... when I finally stumbled upon a copy of that CN set a year or so ago, it made me so happy that I almost cried. We should never take for granted those who share rare recordings online - they are doing incredible work, and it can often seem like thankless work at that. But there are many, many others like myself, who are extraordinarily appreciative of their efforts. People like the uploader of this Minutemen set are doing the world a monumental favour. So, I want to extend a massive thank you to freedomhasnobounds for sharing this amazing relic, and to all of the other archivists on UA-cam and beyond for giving us all the chance to have a taste of what it was like to be in the room with so many incredible bands and artists.
“Colors” and “Plight”-two of my favorites-sounded so fucking amazing live. I wish I had been at least ten years older so I could’ve had a chance to see them play during this era (I was 5 at the time of this gig).
Right on for this live show from the fucken MINUTEMEN, in my opinion which isn't worth a shit™=™the absolute best bands of all time. Just pure heart, harmony, and soul.. they lo lved the foundational art of music and innovated in their own , which still can't and won't ever be duplicated👍👍
Minutemen took a beating on the stage!! EGAD!! Sorry I never got to see em back then. I was scared of that scene. I was 19 when this show went on. I was fucking very violent when provoked. so I stayed away Much to my regret.
Pretty sure there's footage - audio or video, I can't remember - of the Dicks playing here, as well as DC thrashers Void, and the Butthole Surfers too, I think. Love Hall was a pretty standard tour stop for punk bands circa 82-83. Not sure that it survived much longer than early 84, though.

No one can F with D Boone. My favorite performer of all time. 100% real
Almost 41 years ago... unbelievable. Oh what could have been. RIP D. Boon.🙏❤️😔
That place was a blessed mess. The best days of my young life at Broad and South
I love this so much it brings me to tears.
So good!
guy who took the mic at 36:20 is my hero

Crazy work. Thanks. It matters to a lot of fans.
The tightest free punk jazz with inspirations ever!
“Colors” and “Plight”-two of my favorites-sounded so fucking amazing live. I wish I had been at least ten years older so I could’ve had a chance to see them play during this era (I was 5 at the time of this gig).
D Boon died when I was 1 n a half. I didn’t even hear about them until about 15-20 years ago
12:27 mike being a bro
I was at this show LOVE HALL had amazing "kiddie" shows...Underage ...Which was awesome cause I was a high school kid
Right on for this live show from the fucken MINUTEMEN, in my opinion which isn't worth a shit™=™the absolute best bands of all time. Just pure heart, harmony, and soul.. they lo lved the foundational art of music and innovated in their own , which still can't and won't ever be duplicated👍👍
Mine don't either. But, your right
this is one of the best Minutemen gigs I've seen on YT. interesting early unfinished version of Corona.
Minutemen took a beating on the stage!! EGAD!! Sorry I never got to see em back then. I was scared of that scene. I was 19 when this show went on. I was fucking very violent when provoked. so I stayed away Much to my regret.
Mike Watt's tone coming through like a tidal wave
Tin Roof is a Slammer
So was this Husker Du opening for The Minutemen? Wow.
Hurley rockin the Secret Hate shirt, great record.
19:38 Mike Watt tripped but didn't skip a beat lol epic!
Did they mention in We Jam Econo if D's front tooth was broke from a microphone hit to the mouth?

I was so tired that I had to sleep against the wall when they were on :(
Great night! hey it's BeeBee on vocals 36:21-RIP
