Absolute masterpiece, both the videography and the live show! Late 70s video footage of Bad Brains is rare air and the energy captured in this video sits right at the top. The ladies rocking out and pogoing into each other, at the front of the stage, is priceless, including H.R.'s spontaneous interaction with one of the gals next to the stage. Footage from this era of Rock's evolution, as the years pass, will reach levels similar to the old field recordings of country-blues musicians. This is worthy of the National archives. Thank you for this historical gem.

I’ve been listening to Bad Brains since the early 80’s and have seen them dozens of times and I was excited and grateful to find this tonight. Imagine being in that crowd at a shitty little bar and seeing these guys in the beginning; not knowing you’re witnessing the beginnings of what in my not so humble opinion would become the greatest hardcore punk band. Thank you Barry

what can I&I say, the origins are beautiful. In my humble opinion, the beginning of slam dancing and hardcore with the BB, and I am sure there are a few more but a few...This and all BB videos must be archived for eternal experience.

God, this is amazing. I don't think I've ever seen filmed footage of them doing "You're a Migraine" - one of my favourite BB tunes - during this early era. You've obviously put such care and love for the music into this little film. Many thanks for sharing it on here so everyone can enjoy it!

@@crackthefoundation_ Thank you, Color Lab in Maryland did the conversion, it took close to one year to get something I liked. 144 shots that had to be light timed. Lots of back and forth. I had the original A&B rolls remastered to dupe negative 16mm, and some 16mm release prints as well as the digital scans.

I saw these guys in a 300 or so capacity bar called the Sun Set in Tampa, Florida around 1984. Belching Penguins and Circle Jerks were with them. At the time, I was into "Thrash" but a "Hardcore" friend dragged me to it and I am glad she did because I had a great time and I consider those 3 bands legends today. Man, every f-k-n thing was way better then!

This video shows how egalitarian the punk scene was, as opposed to the hardcore scene. There were as many young women in punk expressing themselves as freely as the young men, but hardcore (ironically) morphed into this bullshit jock/frat boy macho culture where girls weren’t welcome as equals. Ironic because the hardcore kids all claimed to hate jocks… they just wore black leather instead of Izod.
