[@scottnixon9367]

Fuck!!! Still makes my adrenaline surge! One of my favorite bands of all time.

[@xgymratx]

Me too

[@trythinking8967]

DRI had the idea of a political revolution, through music and verse. That message needs to be broadcasted again. We need to hear that anger, and that frustration. And then we need to unite, move forward, and make a better society.

[@zacharyroberts7890]

Someone else on this earth gets it

[@kryptichands968]

Right the fuck on

[@boudga]

society is the problem

[@hruiz3308]

Society doesn't get it. Gen X spent their whole lives telling people to question authority and not believe everything you see and hear. Apparently everyone, including us, forgot or ignored that message and are just another cog in the machine. The sheep run things and will cannibalize their own to protect the status quo.

[@PunkLoch]

Aye, this society sucks!

[@bryandaniel2875]

Crazy how fast and explosive this band was back in 83, 84.

[@christopherhoffman8118]

hey bro they still r 😎

[@renek243]

@@christopherhoffman8118 yes but I guess he meant back then there weren't many bands that played that fast, if any.

[@pauliescott]

85, Dealing with it tour. Those shows were violent insanity

[@vivaldireal1741]

1:32 Best performance of Reaganomics hands down

[@justsomedudeyouknow8372]

The sickest footage of them! Blazing fast as hell! Light years before most fast core and grind!

[@snaponjunky1]

Listening to this bringing me back. I wore the Dealing with it Album out. I actually donated it to a the university in my town that had or has a course on Punk/ Hard core / Metal. Hopefully blowing somebody mind for the first time like it did me decades ago.

[@rogerpopcorn4444]

Fantastic! Oddly, i know all the words to these songs! 🤘🏼

[@uf9309]

We need more new stuff. PLEASE!!

[@SpikeCassidy]

working on it.... coming soon

[@robertgutierrez8464]

Just met and saw D.R.I. in May ... at Full Circle Brewery in Fresno ca ... the whole D.R.I. show was good ... thanks Guys for coming to the valley ... fuk ya !!!

[@DaveAnchovies]

they had a new ep last time they came thru buffalo. i brought my painters cap (i ever wore) and got them to sogn it. i brought party favors and these guys sound just as great as the 86-87 shows...the new stuff was more on the punk (they alwayshad metal riffs but like dayglo abortions...it was punk. i love the early slow version of snap, texas edge...these guys were cool, i did the madman from te crowd and got some laughs, but yeah...one of those albums that i know word for word (angry samoans unboxed era, dicks)...i was impressed that they had it and had new music...i was given an updated cap, come back to buffalo...the place was packed with hardly any promo. i will be the mad man "hooooold on" sounds like a high school pals father, his parents still known as madpeople. i come home to relax, im home, been home for 4 hours!

[@heofhebiologicallyreally7084]

mind blown. 1984, raised awareness. filming, cbgbs, '84, wowie. them and cryptic slaughter then. then later Reagan Youth

[@sutiszorny8039]

Reaganomics is played at nearly 260 BPM and as I can see, Eric/Felix (sorry, I can't really see) didn't cheat with the hi-hat!!! I can see why Dave Lombardo likes D.R.I. so much!

[@claudioesteban2799]

Historic concert .

First song is the best and hold today “ I don’t need Society” or Facebook

[@sticksteg]

crazy kids! ...and still the greatest

[@bubberrand]

Love DRI!!

[@ronniereed9099]

I've probably watched this awesomeness a 100x... 101 coming up!

[@charlestruby5094]

I became a Social Studies teacher because bands like this woke my ass up. I listen to bands like this during my planning period and my principal and other teachers think I'm nuts. I'm a handful in teachers meetings. They are always ready for me to say fuck you to the bureaucratic nonsense. One of my students found a video of me at a Naked Raygun show in 1985. Thanks guys.

[@sciexp]

I went to a show in Vitoria-Gazteiz, some days ago, and It was fantastic... What a sound... Great, they deserve their fame... Thanks for sharing this...

[@sellmycarsnj4412]

Can’t remember if this was a “Sunday Matinee Show”. They were the best. How crazy life was back then

[@inferno12O9]

Awesome show, DRI is amazing

[@jamessheehy576]

I love it that was a generation I grew up in tell me the best music I've ever heard

They made Bands like Black Flag et. sounding like boring old farts at that time. Great Intensity! Didn't liked their turn to Crossover,although i was into Metal more than Punk. But this style is the real deal!

this was when they were very first starting too so not a lot of people probably knew about them at this time

@@SpikeCassidy i always liked the slow Snap from the Peace/War comp...remember the Turtle in niagara falls....someone busted a leg and the show stopped, then resumed. i think that was their last show, though. good times. ever hear half serious black metal Mignight do YOU? their first ep was a bunch of Spits covers. guy was in Boulder and started this alone as a side project, its caught on with metalheads and garage punks alike. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6TIc2WtpNurnJo an honorable cover.
