God, I loved this tour. The crowd was packed so tight in the Trocadero Transfer in SF that the audience moved in one mass. Walked out with my clothes soaked through with persperation and my hair matted and sticking to my head. I was 24 and it was close to a religious experience.

Saw them live starting in 1982. Then continues to see them here in NYC through 85 probably .. One of my favorite live groups .

If there are still any rarities at this day and age, this is definitely it. A raritie and a gem! PMA!

[@miguelpinheiro6042]

What a cool show! HR looking functional and excited, lots of gems from "God of Love" (I know it is the tour for this album, but there are very few videos from this era).

[@jaytizzle6652]

Long Live Bad Brains! Legends! Dr. Know as always looking sooooo happy to be rocking on stage. Love the passion. Daryl bringing it even through this old recording. Earl always on time. HR might be starting to deteriorate around this time. Trying add flare to his vocals for some reason and dancing all weird like he is LaLa Land sometimes. Still killing it though.

[@sixwhip14]

I'm so glad I found this. I went to the Omaha show of this tour. My only brains show I was lucky to see. I saw HR with Downtown Brown a few years ago. He can hardly move at all now. 😢

[@LPerezDancer]

returning to this video again... HR doesn't have the same intensity here that he had in the 80s (see that Florida pro shot concert from 87) but hell, if he would even move this much nowadays instead of hiding behind the mic stand it would be fantastic!

[@brmg262]

Ele ficou fraco com tempo. Pode ter sido as drogas.

[@thebees4371]

You don't either😅

[@LPerezDancer]

@@thebees4371 HR and I happen to be the same age and I can still easily do the things he is doing in this 1995 concert. He has no excuse for not moving at all in the shows he's done over the past 20 years.

My Bredren dat.. Brains are Fam.. HR's falsetto in the first part of the show was legendary...absolutely.. AMAZING. theyve got so many great shows.. I dont know which ones are dem at their peaks.. THIS SHOW... Is definitely ONE OF THEIR HOTTEST.. Gary is KILLING THAT GUITAR with CRUNCHINESS!!!! LOVE it...

[@progrockjock]

Wow! I was at this show. It was great! I still remember how crazy the crowd went when HR walked out onstage. I remember a lot of people complaining because they didn't do an encore. I think I saw myself around 35 minutes.

[@MISTERMOODYHYADD]

One of the greatest bands ever. first time I saw them was on the music video show, Night Flight, 1988, I was in 8th grade. Video was "I against I". Saw them in Memphis TN in 2000 or 2001 as Soul Brains. Met HR and Doc.

[@johnphelps2643]

Moody Hyadd I saw them as soul brains also

[@matthewosterman9030]

How was HR there? Still sane?

[@highstrangenessdubselector3033]

I was at the Memphis show also. My wife and I got to hang out before with H.R. and their tour manager let is in free. I got to photograph and record the show on cassette. Haste and Candiria opened. Hung out afterwards with Dok. K and Darryl recorded an impromptu interview.

[@cary8214]

Damn, my man took it back to Night Flight!! If you didn't have MTV you had to stay up late to get your video fix. Night Flight and Friday Night Videos put me on to a lot I would have never known about.

[@mrakus83]

My claim to fame was seeing Tool at Ozzfest in 98’ and hearing “H00ker with a PenIs” for the first time ever. Heavy.Fckin.duty.

[@Tonefiend]

I think this is pretty much his farewell tour. I saw him around then with his band and he was incredible. Played a bunch of heavy stuff. Went to a BB show a year or two after this in San Diego and HR never showed. No show and no refund. Seen him 6 or 7!times since and he’s been nothing like the first time.

[@ixdruxulo]

What a show! So God of Love, so 1995, so PMA!

[@zackmahal]

this might be the last 'real' bad brains tour

[@zackmahal]

no I was wrong. the 'real' Hr is shining through but this is well into their bad concert era

[@jahmuzik6941]

Amazing Setlist, A Brains gem for sure

[@sethnicholls7861]

Omg this is the sickest! HR still had it and that makes me happy to witness here!!!!!!

[@Carlos-xz3vi]

After watching some of those 2010 onward live videos this feels SO GOOD! I’d killed just to go back in time and watch them during these years!

[@danahorton1202]

there is a pic online from the show at the metroplex in atlanta with me at the front of the stage . i used to rent an upstairs room from paul and i came down to see them. it was an awesome show. it was fun living there and having all access for the bands.

[@tailtap2222]

16:36 Rock For Light. 1:19:29 Soul Craft. Roguish Armament were the opening hip-hop band on that tour. They were good.

[@LPerezDancer]

I saw them at least 15 times in the 80s. This looks like it may be the last time HR showed any life on stage. After this he went totally brain-dead. Sad... my most beloved Punk band

I attended the Atlanta show either the day before or after this at the Masquerade. HR handcuffed himself to some girl for like the first few songs. Weird shit.

[@synlee77]

It was before...also he sang like 2 songs from the back stage which was wack.

[@Andranik05]

Damon: there used to be a video of this on YT. I think it may have come down but would be great to see again.

[@RaAndTheGodsOfLoveFire]

HR, what happened in 3 years? We saw you in 92 looking pretty much yourself? It was Aliens wasn't it!

[@Gregbaltzer]

HR went for years suffering from undiagnosed schizophrenia and Sunct syndrome. It wasn't until a few years ago he, at the motivation from his wife, that he was finally diagnosed and started getting treatment.

[@johnflushing9328]

What a tragedy that one of the best frontmen of all time is schizophrenic. I wish him the best and thanks for the greatest music ever!

[@Humble-iq5ue]

​@@johnflushing9328his book is interesting. Mental illness runs in his family. His brother earl said that their uncle was schizophrenic. So that gene along with drug abuse was a recipe for disaster. HR also started using heroin at 15.

[@atlargeonline]

Heya SiN. Is this your master video recording from 40watt? Love those brains!

[@kabukimanindahouse]

can some dreadlock expert elaborate why hr just has one long ass dangling lock, while the others got shorter?

[@Humble-iq5ue]

His locks have gotten so much shorter over the years. But as for back then i read a story once about how one of the band members cut HRs locks off when he was sleeping. HR used to sabotage the fk out of the band and their shows and piss the other members the hell off.

[@Humble-iq5ue]

I don't believe half time HR was meaning to sabotage the band. HR developed severe mental illness and was abusing drugs, smoking crack, homeless etc. HR first started doing heroin at 15 yrs old. HR really lived up to the bands name.

[@kabukimanindahouse]

@@Humble-iq5ue kinda wonder why they would leave him with such a general length then and leave out just one of them

[@kabukimanindahouse]

@@Dreaderthandread-ml1ri like merle allin's beard, were dreads just fell out one after one?

[@rrbh]

1995 seems to be the year where HR's mental decline really accelerated - the legendary performances were lost forever.

[@Misserbi]

What is strange to me is while the audience is respecting the music they are making their way to the same ground the lead singer is standing on. It is like they are using HR as footing? Isn't that an insult? I came to listen and watch him and not witness a show of insolance?

[@johnflushing9328]

Wow, HR actually tried a little here. Sadly it's mostly downhill from now on...

[@redghettosun]

I saw this tour in California and it was downhill from 95 on. HR was motionless for most of the set. I think on this particular show HR enjoyed doing the new songs more. He was either on or off on any given day it seems like.

[@botany500kojak]

I can understand if he is less mobile at his age now. But I wish he would put more effort into his singing. Maybe his voice is shot though.

Def toned down here lol

[@itsratso.]

sorry peeps, but at this point we were fast approaching the HR is the most boring performer alive period. this was not HR. this was not the bad brains. HR used to end every show with a full backflip off the kick drum, for christsakes.

i was at this show,it was good until h.r. came out to ruin everything

[@lebheidenstrm5392]

+Stephen Tanner H.R. seems pretty good in this and the God of Love tracks sound pretty blistering. Re-Ignition sounds right on point but I wasn't there so I must defer to your presence! ;OD

[@hewhocannotbenamed842]

Stephen Tanner. seems good to me. was moving around more and actually singing better than later years.

[@chrisanthony2926]

I saw them this year and h.r was the weak link.this makes him look good.But I will say it was worth every cent and everybody seemed to walk away happy-he just kept running back stage every chance he got between vocals to jump up and down.I thought it was a coke thing but I saw them in 2001and realized something else was going on.

[@andysmith6791]

In Phoenix he sang the first couple songs backstage so that was awesome.

@@chrisanthony2926 HR made the band and destroyed it. It was really on him.
