Fugazi-Suggestion-1991

[@NellieMcSprackel]

I saw Fugazi playing this song live in Glasgow, Scotland circa. 1990. Women from the audience invaded the stage and took turns to speak / sing as the band played in the background. It was amazing.

[@ibu6389]

+NellieMcSprackel Wonderful!

[@joesheridan2558]

+NellieMcSprackel i was there also at the mayfair,remember it like was yesterday.was talking about just recently.

[@asliceofry8735]

27th November 1989, I was there too, best gig I've ever been to.

[@leighpoologic]

asliceofry I saw them in in Edinburgh in 1999 and again at the Barrowlands in 2002, they're incredible live.

[@jasonmcalister3303]

I saw the Glasgow stage "invasion". It was an amazing night.

[@noOnionswithoutTears]

This song came out right after my Mom told me she didn't believe me when I told her I was raped. I was 16 when it happened. I was 17 when I told her. This song got me through so much shit. This is amazing to see it sung by a women. I'm not crying, you are crying.

[@DanielBurtonDidYourWife]

I'm assuming the fucker in question was never brought to justice. I am so sorry. Your childhood should have not been so violently interrupted.

[@gives_bad_advice]

what's wrong with people? let me know if you figure it out.

[@666Eva]

I also have tears in my eyes. They treated fans so well, daytime gigs for the kids, welcoming stage invasions, letting a clearly deliriously happy dude sing one of their best songs...legends

[@spacegrass2738]

Ceoil pretty sure it’s a girl

[@evanisovich]

That’s Amy Pickering, lead singer for criminally underrated DC band, Fire Party.

[@Skirtandsatchel]

The song was written about her. It references her experiences she shared with Ian. And to your point- they truly cared about their community and fans

[@666Eva]

@@Skirtandsatchel Yes, its clear, and one of their best songs. The who gig is full of optimism and joy.

[@jasminelindley8534]

It was awesome. I was part of Positive Force and helped work that show. I grew up in Arlington, VA and went to a lot of the WDC shows. Lot of Dischord bands, Simple Machines, Teen Beat, etc. 1987-1996 was such a fun time. Glad I was part of it.

[@blankgen60NYC]

I was in that audience..one of many Fugazi shows I saw ..my Band opened for Fire Party a couple times at Wilson Center shows ...I was a fan of theirs from the get go .. My band , not here to toot my own horn ..even ended up at the Alternatives Festival in DC ..1989 ..and just after our set Fugazi , as Gazebo Front , played that great set that someone passing by managed to film. I've had the good fortune of seeing Ian in his earlier musical forays as well...Teen Idles , Minor Threat , and Embrace ... Dude's cool , his brother Alec too . There is something about the analog..pre-digital , do-it-your own fucking self days that I miss. Peace

[@neat_lemon]

Great band, great lyrics, great performance.

[@neilcarrick]

The Godfather of the DC Punk scene, the best and maybe the ultimate (post) hardcore band. They gave birth to EMO but they are really the reason to believe in Punk.

[@kingofkashiwa]

"during the height of their career" Not a career, a crusade. And there can be no height for something on hiatus. I'm an optimist.

[@kelb6073]

Same. Same. Seems like a good time to make a comeback.

[@MartinDeHill]

I would give a fucking KIDNEY to see Fugazi play live

[@shaunledington3224]

I know for a fact they get together once in a while to just play. No agenda. Zero desire to “do” Fugazi again. Just friends playing music

[@ThePizzablogger]

I was on top of a half stack of amps just to stage left in immediate proximity to the one video camera closest to Ian. I was taking pictures of the show.

[@dwnxlaw]

The only band that ever mattered.

[@randomassperson101]

💯💯💯

[@leahhammond410]

I saw them in Fortitude Valley in the 90's. My flatmates, Midget were the support band. It was a very sweaty and unforgettable gig... i like how in this clip Ian Mackay's shirt has a one on it, but looks like it used to be 11.. except one 1 is absent... ❤❤❤

[@mrgorgun81]

Not particularly a fan of Fugazi , but this is one of the best live performances i've ever seen (and i've seen some). The energy of crowd and the band moving as one force is incredible.

[@artao5]

Having a woman sing this is HARD AS FUCK!! Considering it was written about his girlfriend suffering sexual assault.

[@fry5544]

Yes

[@ThePizzablogger]

"At the height of their career"? The beauty of Fugazi was they were constantly at the height of their career. This show was at All Souls Church in DC. I was fortunate to be there for the show...thanks for the video!

[@doublet630]

Exactly. Fugazi never misstepped.

[@unspeakablemusick]

I sent my bands demo to discord and Amy write back. Such a great person. And what a performance!

[@Wazzok1]

That shot at 4:35 has to be one of the funniest moments I've seen in a gig. Totally inappropriate for the song but the dead look on Ian's face is so good. That guy was such an idiot getting those cartoon ass blue stripe long johns out

[@user-uo1qr6vn1q]

I feel privileged to have been one of many fans of Fugazi as the 80s turned into the 90s and to have seen them perform then... There have been better live bands, but very few, if any, with this type of raw emotion both in their records and at their live shows. Those were some horrible years personally, which is probably why the music sounded so good and still resonates so damn much.
