- The Suicide Commandos perform four songs as the beginning to the final set (MN Rochestra) of the first night. Recorded at Martathon 80, the two day music festival held Sept 22-23, 1979 in the field house of the University of Minnesota. It featured 20 bands and was organized by Tim Carr of the Walker Art Center.
Twin Cities legends at an historic event that I was lucky enough to attend! The Commandoes, Curtiss A, & the Suburbs (among many National acts) playing in a giant University barn heralding what was to come…including the’Mats and a “sound!” Thank you forEVER TwinTone!!!!
It is on my bucket list to see The Suicide Commandos. Been a fan since 1979. I hope they come to Chicago. NO CELL PHONE ONLY CONCERTS!
Their album is a classic for me.
Twin tone Rollers
I went to this even. my first foray into festival type shows... Remember seeing many interesting acts and opening my eyes to new music.
I was there too. Lots of great music!
I still have the ticket stub!
What I love most about this medley is how it features the bassist, lead guitarist and drummer taking turns at lead vocals on the first three songs -- great camera-work on the video footage, also!!
...and their cover of "Born To Be Wild" is arguably better than Lenny Kay and co.'s original!!
Always loved this band.
Incredible footage of a critically underappreciated group -- great performance and top notch sound / video
I loved the Commandos, and I was there. But they had kegs of beer backstage, so I'm really glad that Al X Gav videotaped a lot of it because otherwise it all would just be a blurry memory.
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
HEAH YEAH!! The...
Punks that could play and perform without being intoxicated beyond basic human function.
classe music
They remind me a lot of The Dickies or is it the other way around?
✌️ .🙂
They sure put a lot of spirited energy into a mediocre (at best) Bay City Rollers song as their first cover of the video. Original "Real Cool" (on their "Make A Record" album) comes next. After the Animals' "It's My Life" is their awesome "Weekend Warrior" (which they contributed to the "Big Hits Of The Upper Mid-America Volume 3" compilation). The credits roll after their version of Steppenwolf's "Born To Be Wild".
Oh ...
VERY..
is this Frank Black ?
No.
Charles Thompson (aka Black Francis, Frank Black) was a 14 year old living in Massachusetts and not playing in bands yet at the time this was recorded in 1979.
