Protein CBGB McGathy Party May 6 1997

[@billyhughes9776]

The record they followed up with in '99 (Songs For Cowgirls) is fucking fantastic. A band that fell through the cracks -- so good. Glad I found this vid. Thanks for posting 7 years ago -- lol.

10000000% underrated, been listening since 97, that are one of the funnest bands I've seen live to date. Josh and Dans harmonies are so good.

Great set!! Love all these tunes.

[@chrisbr1969]

I saw them open for King’s X. They were so great!

[@BrianMcCleery1]

I saw them open for King's X at some country bar in/near the city of Orange in California. Bought a CD immediately and still have it.

Sure wish they'd reunite.

[@CraneonBand]

Killer band

[@Wendy-hv8zm]

so good !

[@holdenrains]

wtf with that audience? pearls before swine such an excellent and fun band to see play. Haight street fair I think in 1997, they stole the show so completely! Saw them maybe 10 times, always always always amazing

[@DanTanner707]

Please someone tell me what the deal is with this show! I have seen Protein so many times, I can't put an exact number on it. I even had Protein play a show here in Santa Rosa, Ca. At the English Rose. 1994. 22 Fillmore, Protein, The Fkn A$$holes, Monster Zero, Welt, and another band. There is not one Protein show I have seen that did not have the crowd going crazy! What is the deal with the crowd at this show? Totally bizarre situation. Whoever was at this show, obviously has no clue about how bad ass this band was.

[@billyhughes9776]

Uppity NY crowd?

[@holdenrains]

pretty sure it was like 6 pm and a label showcase at a venue where people don't really come early like that, bunch of label types in attendance, and likely sparsely.
