LAST POST WINDING UP OUR LITTLE SURVEY OF THE GREAT HUSKER DU. This is a live gig taped at Camden Palace in London on May 14, 1985. Judging from the song list, they have not yet recorded the last album we listened to, Flip Your Wig. But there's plenty from New Day Rising and previous albums.Near the end they rave up The Byrds' magnificent song Eight Miles High, a single the Huskers released in 1984. The band is absolutely soaring at this show. Amazing how Mould's shredding, kamikaze wall of sound could be so melodic at the same time. MichaelD8393 left a very interesting comment on this upload 2 months ago. I'm quoting it here. " You know as awesome as this show is, Bob has regarded it as maybe the worst show Hüsker Dü ever played. He actually HATES that the show was filmed. What happened was they played Washington, DC, USA two days prior, were on no sleep for over 24 hours, and none of the gear they played on/through was theirs, it was all rented (whether their actual gear was forgotten or just didn't show up remains a mystery BTW). And then they played the following night in Cleveland, OH, USA! So in Bob's opinion, this show is just him, Greg & Grant falling-down exhausted and playing on rented gear! In my opinion though, it's still a smoking hot show that I wish I could've been at." Hope you all enjoyed these 25 posts of Husker Du. 1. “New Day Rising” 2. “It’s Not Funny Anymore” 3. “Everything Falls Apart” 4. “Girl Who Lives on Heaven Hill” 5. “I Apologize” 6. “If I Told You” 7. “Folklore” 8. “Terms of Psychic Warfare” 9. “Powerline” 10. “Books About UFOs” 11. “Chartered Trips” 12. “Diane” 13. “Celebrated Summer” 14. “Every Everything” 15. “Makes No Sense at All” 16. “Pink Turns to Blue” 17. “Ticket to Ride” 18. “Reoccurring Dreams/Dreams Reoccurring” 19. “Eight Miles High” 10. “Love Is All Around”

Man, if this was a "shitty" performance, I can't imagine what a great one looks like. The "Recurring Dreams" jam is insane, and totally worth suffering through if only for the insert shots of disappointed-looking punk kids all "Man, even Black Flag sounds like this now." And then they get all moshy to a Byrds tune. This band was genius.

Thats one of those weird musician dilemas ...what one might think of as subpar or crap can also sound essential or awesome to certain listeners.

This performance is superb and extremely dramatic. A very unhealty and exhausted Bob Mould screams, occasionally convulsing and roaming on the stage, always on the verge of the collapse (look his eyes from 24:25 to 24:30, and he almost faints after the main scream in Eight Miles High at 52:14). Nevertheless he plays like a god, followed by Grant and Norton. They should open an "Husker Road" in Camden. This gig was epic.
@MichaelD83936 жыл бұрын
Here's why Bob looks so exhausted and on the verge of collapse: Hüsker Dü played Washington, DC, USA two days before this show, were on no sleep & jet-lagged for over 24 hours, and none of the gear they played on or through was theirs; it was all rented (though whether their actual gear was forgotten or just didn't show up remains a mystery BTW). And then they played the *following night* in Cleveland, Ohio back in the States. So in Bob's opinion this show is just him, Greg & Grant falling-down exhausted and playing on rented gear! He actually HATES that the show was filmed and later released on video. But I'm still glad he, Greg and Grant gave it their all; the show must go on!

what shitty produced albums? only New Day Rising is kinda messy, because the band did it themselves. Prior, Spot is a legendary producer--dont know who did the Warner albums, but thought they all were recorded well. what albums sounded shitty to you? if you dont like their punk years, well...thats how a punk album should sound like.
@mooskerdu92443 жыл бұрын
@@DaveAnchovies No, the band did not produce New Day Rising themselves. They wanted to, as Bob had already produced other bands for their own label, Reflex Records, but SST insisted on Spot being in charge. He was the producer for all of their SST albums except the last one, Flip Your Wig, which they were finally allowed to self-produce and which sounds much better anything they did with Spot. The reason he's a legend is because SST was THE punk indie label and Spot was their resident guy behind the console, not because he was a great producer. Getting it done as quickly and cheaply as possible was SST's main concern, and in that regard, Spot always delivered. As for the "well-recorded" Warner albums, they were produced by Bob and Grant. They demanded (and received) complete creative control, including producing their own records, when they signed with Warner.
