Plasmatics Live on 1980s TV Show "Fridays"

[@kheftkaligari931]

Fourth row center, Winnipeg Playhouse, June 30 1981. Best show of my entire life. I've said before that on my deathbed I'll be thankful for 3 things: I touched the Rosetta Stone as a child; I saw Nureyev dance; and I was utterly blown by away by The Plasmatics live! (Sadly I never got to see the photos I took that night. My Presbyterian fundamentalist sister absconded with rolls of film and destroyed them. Yet the memory will live inside me forever.) Wendy was a role model in so many ways. I adored her and still think of her every day. Listening to her continues to inspire, energize, and fuel my resolve to be a fiercely free woman. Her impression is that indelible. Hope you are well Jean. Love you!

13 years old. Staying up late to watch Fridays was an every week thing. The Plasmatics came out and in less than ten minutes they expanded my horizons and blew my mind. Incredible performance!

I was a new kid at a new school. I went to school after this show and all the "cool" kids were ragging the Plasmatics. I stood tall and said "they were FUCKING CRAZY AWESOME!!!" And, I was surprised to find myself as the kid who completely changed what unbeknownst to me, was a firmly established pecking order. Such unusual satisfaction for brutal childhood...

Yeah, exact same story here... totally opened doors to amazing adventures in music. I bought the New Hope LP the very next day.

This will always be my favorite TV moment of the band.

take me back to 1980 and 7th. grade, staying up past bedtime to watch SNL and Fridays….

[@akamissrubytuesday]

I was there that day... as the on set hairstylist. :-D

[@GenerationX1967]

Cool!

[@aboutdafunk]

Fridays was way better than SNL at that time.

Jean any knowledge you can share about Wes doin the oriental count offs, did he do that because of the original bassit? Just wanted to keep that tradition alive? Always was curious!
