sid, I'm pretty sure I was at that Exploited show. I was watching that video and thinking damn... was that the Exploited/GBH show I was at? And then I read in the comments two guys saying something about that. I used to go to the Olympic a lot, but eventually stopped, too many meatheads. Then I clicked on the guy's youtube page and found a bunch of other old gigs I went to (and more and more stuff.) I can remember searching through youtube a couple of years ago and not finding anything like this, but looks like many people have converted their old tapes into digital. Nice, thanks for the lead.
cool story I was at this Flipper show. Shit I just noticed that was 3 years ago tonight. [youtube]c3OzkhR0Dtg[/youtube]
In a month I can add My Bloody Valentine to the list of bands who I never thought I would see live but somehow ended up seeing them. [youtube]j9qLnmEN7S8[/youtube]
Shit, I just realized the first time I saw Flipper was 28 years ago. In SF at the Mabuhay with the DKs and Circle Jerks. A legendary show. Cool vid (you were in the crowd shot right?) I loved Stiff Little Fingers, but was shocked when I saw them live because they were wearing new wave skinny ties.
Yeah....just shot a shout out to the Olympic and went to bed last night. I'm doing fine. Heading up to Oxnard on Monday morning for the viewing and the funeral on Tuesday. For those that don't know, I lost another sister to a massive stroke this past Monday. She had one in April of 2007 and this one this week took her.
Shhhh... you weren't supposed to tell. I had a feeling you'd go. Yeah. Naked Raygun has been performing that song forever, it's on one of their records, so for Jake Burns to suddenly walk out and sing it was so cool.
