Rites Of Spring - End On End - Live 1985 Old

This is a long clip because they pretty much finished, then came out and did an encore to finish the song. The coolest part was when we all started chanting the chorus during the break. You can hear Guy tapping on his guitar that he pretty much destroyed before the encore. This is pretty much how most of the Rites Of Spring shows ended, lots of chaos.

i saw them at the 9:30 in 1986, on my first night as a gwu freshman. love(d) them!

rites of spring never associated themselves with emo and actually discredited it, but its really how you take their music. trying to call out who was the godfather of emo is a pretty fuckin hard thing to do, but to some extent, this is pretty much where emo started up. rites of spring, still most definitely one of the greatest bands ever, emo or not.

[@youngloudandsnotty77]

holy. shit. i don't think i've ever had goosebumps for almost 8 straight minutes before watching this video...

[@fenchocorer]

even the sex pistols said "no" when somebody asked if their music was "punk"... so... rites are great band... and maybe they are not emo but.. it started up with this DC scene... i agree with you..

[@agreentako4276]

This is called Emotive Post-Hardcore Punk during the time of Revolution Summer and it is not called emo, but Emocore and many bands like Rite of spring hated the term Emocore. I'm here because of my recommendations from youtube and I am happy that there was a video of Rites of spring playing End on end. Thanks.

[@noddynudel]

More bands should be this awesome live.

[@thesolvents]

thanks for sharing this. its amazing

[@ritesofspr]

James, when they played this song live it was usually much longer than the album version from my recollection. Meghan

[@ritesofspr]

Jimmy, unfortunately I don't have any videos of Hated. I saw them several times and never got any footage of them. Dan was in a college class of mine, he's the most laid back, sincere guy you'd ever want to know.

[@zakirtabini846]

Is this your original video or did you source it from somewhere else? I'm working on a short film about D.C. punk and would like to include a snippet from this video with your permission

[@nizzemanden]

yes. the old one.

[@emg7112]

I was at this ROS show in '85...... I think HATED was with some guys I knew in Annapolis......

[@christsbassist89]

i hear that!

[@xmissingpeacex]

[@chris708brown]

Behold the garden of emo. Take that, 10 Sugar Charlie.

[@ritesofspr]

ok, posted a REALLY bad copy of persistent vision for you cattellar. if you know the song well enough, you can follow along. i don't know of any other copies of them doing this song live. i never saw them do it live personally.

[@ritesofspr]

let me see what i can find!

[@Superstarseven]

Rites Of Spring will ALWAYS be associated with Emo as long as the term is still around. The name was first attributed to them so whether you like it or not, the two will never be separate. Plus Emo should be about the music not the fashion right? I don't see any eyeliner on Guy Picciotto.

[@grog0cean]

did you tape these videos?

[@SnappedNeck]

do they have video of the last show?

[@myspaceshipisamazing]

plus they are a suggested band on google emo.....
