Just thank God for the ABC, without them this musical genius would have been lost !

I was 17 and there in Adelaide as a punter, Fortunately years later living in Syd I crewed for both Rob Younger New Christs & Chris Masuak in Screaming Tribesmen and Johnny Kannnis and the Hitmen Great times

[@sliemm1]

Rob Younger's spine was never the same after this gig.

I weep for a world that watches this 2.2 K times in two and a half years. Kids, when your parents say that they got to see all the good bands, just accept it.

Nobody will understand. My punk band opened for Green Day three times. My surf band played with the Makers and Man or Astroman. I saw public enemy and sonic youth in 1990. I saw 108 and Shelter open for 7 seconds. I saw Antioch Arrow, Heroin, Slant 6, JSBX, Elliott smith at a tiny record store in SF. I SAW KARP, BLACK SABBATH TWICE, IGGY, NIRVANA, BUZZCOCKS, RANCID, SUPERCHUNK, SCREAMING TREES, WEEN, L7. Primus played our dorm. I saw ROKY ERICKSON. & SLAYER. That but scratches the surface. Went to Burning Man 98 and saw Goa Gil. You kids have NO IDEA.

The Aussie band that has adequate enormous influence on today's alternative rock and garage scene. Absolute history!

[@leahflower9924]

But they sound like mc5 and stooges so what are we thanking them for shouldn't we thank Detroit at least bands like Ramones changed it up

[@xwhite2020]

@@leahflower9924 If you think the two Birdman albumss are simply a copycat sound of those bands then you need your head checked.

I have never heard a better version of Descent Into The Maelstorm than this one. Deniz Tek's solo is really enjoyable!!

[@guzgrant]

Fucking brilliant , visceral music . I’d give my spleen to watch a band like this now .

Ohh man you won’t get it. If this sounds classic well the golden age was just that

[@CameronMock-dd5nr]

Hey an good night yeah hup

[@marcwilluweit2558]

the piano at "what gives" is so pippi langstrumpf and really funny. original true rock&roll power, superb musical craftmanship and real entertainment, so in & outta control. ron keeley is helluva cool drummer and this footage is quite much of a proof there has never been any better band..

[@juliedickenson8659]

I was there that night @ the Marryatville, they were hardly known in Adelaide then : way ahead of the times

[@Eskay1206]

The Marryatville rocked, I lived across the road on Dudley st, and Martini's was best club in Adelaide

[@TheoUncleLeo]

I was only 2 and a bit years old when this happened- and I’m sure the Marryatville or for that matter any Adelaide clubs or pubs have had so much energy than this!

[@xdef1ne]

The original aus pressing of their first record is one of my prized possessions. Killer band

[@Robdoughugh]

God, this is special! As good as anything ever done!

At 62 now,I was lucky enough to be a part of all this great,real music.To all millennial,slackers,hipster never pay their college loan back & working as a self proclaimed "chef",I fart in your general direction....

[@andylane3739]

Ok Boomer. Great that you got to go to college for $2000. Gen Xer here. I went to tech school. No debt. ANYWAY - I got a used copy of Radios Appear in PHX AZ in 82. Got to see them live in 2011? Still rocking, but the singer was all high pitch - weird.

One of the great un-catched stage dives :)

[@naturalexplorer]

Nobody was there to catch him. They all bailed out.

Maybe not enough warning he was going to jump?

[@thomasminarchickjr.7355]

Decent into the Maelstrom is ridiculously great

[@naturalexplorer]

Magic. Hard and fast free expression with no desire to appease the commercial music industry. I reckon Rob Younger would have been worse for wear after that dive into the crowd towards the end. Never saw him get up and it quickly morphed into break time.

If members of the Stooges, MC5 and Dictators jammed together, they might sound like Radio Birdman. Or they would come close. Or not.

[@heathcornbeef]

Every one of these guys individually could rip a stage to pieces and leave people unable to talk for possibly day's or week's which means I can't take the risk of going to a show like this LOSSING MY VOICE IS ONE OF MY END OF DAY'S FEARS ....
