[@ulsavonhunter9241]

I was there!!! I was 14 I paid my a guy who later became my best friend $40 bucks to drive us from Arlington Heights to this show...It was the GREATEST---WTF happened to our generation---greatness lost in the shuffle...

[@tnatola1]

Lol, shit had I known you I woulda picked you up on my way down. I lived by forest view high school.

[@GirlPower342]

Yep. True. I THINK I was there, age 15- I mean it seems likely bc I saw them at this time at the Cabaret Metro. That show and punk rock changed my life!

[@GirlPower342]

@@tnatola1 My dad drove me and my 3 best friends the 3 hours from East Peoria. I bought Basement Screams soon after; still have it. My friends and I formed a punk band soon after, too; I played bass). Great memories. Awesome times! And now my goal is to learn how to play Rat Patrol on my new guitar. 😂

[@zellah]

A bargain! I’m there too, but about 10 years older.

[@shahdust1970]

I think I see myself how scary that many years later. That band is the best from Chicago!! They had the best concerts!!

[@vanillablue86]

Holy crap. Never seen or heard of this before. Definitely the Metro in Chicago. The lineup is Jeff Pezzati (vocals), John Haggerty (guitar), Camilo Gonzalez (bass), and Eric Spicer (drums), so this show had to be sometime between summer '84 and summer '85. Please post the rest of this show if you got it.

[@zellah]

My favorite line-up.

[@lawfreefly]

This was such a great band and important band musically for a lot of upcoming bands in Chicago and the Midwest; plus they were a great bunch of guys.

[@duckdive08]

I saw Naked Raygun back in August 1988 at a hardcore club in Norwalk, Connecticut called the Anthrax. It was around the time when Jettison was released. Don't remember who opened, but it was an incredible show. One of my all time Favorites.

Throb Throb = American Classic Punk Hardcore Lp.

[@christophernagy5603]

Saw these guys a few times... $10, miss those days...

[@christophernagy5603]

I guess being from Chicago helped satisfy my urges to thrash through the pit to the front of the stage, to hold back the droves of people smashing into you... MISS Those DAYS!!

[@charlestruby5094]

Five bands five bucks, remember?

[@UsernamedJory]

I was at that and most of their shows... As a 50 year old, I, fucking miss that form of group positive therapy. Thanks!

[@ThirstyCraig]

Just turned the big 5-0 and yeah, there will never be anything like the Chicago punk scene-miss it every day, but glad to have been part of it.

[@naterog323]

The singer did a few songs at Reggies Rock house last night with The Arrivals... shit was unreal.. witnessed history

[@Menelvagore]

Amazing!

30 years later....can somebody please return my boot?

[@charlestruby5094]

Frank Pasquale, I lost my hat. I’m the guy with no shirt and orange shorts on the stage.

[@sherylpetrillo1300]

Saw them there in 1987--will never forget!

[@jasonispunk]

[@charlestruby5094]

So, after the Naked Raygun set we were standing outside to cool off waiting for the next band. Corky (you were fucking mental, man) lines up three guys in a row (I'm saying "no way" as I know Corky is going to do something crazy). He then says " Watch this trick." The slaps all three guys in the face Three Stooges style. I was laughing my ass off.

[@bogonzales672]

You talking about the black skinhead Corky?

hey speaking of Dave's Chicago roots, you might want to check out the music video produced by the original drummer for Naked Raygun. It's a total update to Jim Colao's 1982 punk classic "Only in America." kzbin.info/www/bejne/gp-3k3ppoZmGrac

[@peterdaigle3150]

[@peterdaigle3150]

Naked Raygun...cheesy band name. Then again, so was Foo Fighters - which is why I checked this out in the first place.

[@terrypussypower]

Peter Daigle “Naked Raygun” is a great name for a band!

[@davidg4536]

Foo fighter’s first album cover a tribute?
