The Slits live Concert, Punk Band, Early 1980s, UK | Don Letts | Premium Footage

[@Deedee-ee1sg]

If only we could have a band like THE SLITS in today's dull auto-tuned music chart!!! R.I.P ARI UP!

[@fintonmainz7845]

Yet another miserated gammon who can't praise something without complaining about "young people today".

[@marshall0814]

Who cares about the charts?! There are loads of bands who are carrying on The Slits tradition of girls playing original, raw, confrontational, exciting music today.

[@Rockasaurusmac]

Listen to amyl and the sniffers.... You're welcome

[@wendymcphail8510]

Always my favourite punk band.

[@ninjanne]

Brilliant Don Letts films are realy great

[@neildonaldson4738]

Amazing great footage. So good that it still exists

[@crocglox7797]

I loved The Slits since the first time I heard them. She is very good at dodging bottles.

[@kelb6073]

The woman was stabbed two or three times and they got beat up daily by men and women on the street. So yes, I'm sure she got used to it.

[@daviddeida]

Such a beautiful voice and elegant dance moves

[@aleonflux1138]

This is more than music.. this is art!

[@alexandradavis5553]

Thanks. As someone who was born in 86 you are really helping make my day

[@sudzbuddy6]

The Slits and the Go Go’s started out roughly the same time and gigging in the same venues with wildly different careers. Crazy These girls definitely had their own vib…

Very cool. Their Here to be Heard documentary is great as well.

Thank you.

Very brave throwing beer glasses at female musicians.

[@randybackgammon890]

Good point.Obviously not, and much of this genre were clearly knobs

[@filmover9843]

Some women did it. If women want to change mentality you should be in the action too. Like the slits did . Not only with words and ideology. Feminists today are not brave. When they tweet or write graffiti on the wall they think they do a revolution!

It's called equality

[@daviddeida]

Plastic not glass.

[@gregdahlen4375]

the timing of the playing is interesting, they're not just bashing a four four beat

[@BrianAchterberg928]

R.I.P Ari and Nora(Ari’s Mom) ❤️

Fun Fun Fun

[@joelashadali]

Who danced wilder Ian or Ari?

[@jasonclark1883]

Budgie on drums

[@jasonclark1883]

Then Ari on drums!

[@iansutherlandcraig]

Definitely not the early 80s. This would be 78/79 before they recorded Cut.

[@rockets4kids]

I believe that's Budgie on drums, so this would be before Sept '79.

[@Godloveszaza]

This footage is coming from someone who recorded and owns the footage so yes it is in the 80s. 🤓

[@rockets4kids]

@@Godloveszaza There was clearly a communication breakdown between Don Letts and Kino Library

[@iansutherlandcraig]

@@Godloveszaza That is just not true. The Slits neither looked or sounded like that in 1980 and beyond. Also Budgie would be Bruce Smith if it was in the 80s.

They suck so much, they’re brilliant. Sounds like they’’d only been playing their instruments for about a week. Dorky, no-talent, all attitude. Rather mesmerizing.

@@dee_seejay @Randy Backgammon clearly hates the idea of women who aren't out to please men. They scare his little winkie back up the pipe. On the other hand you are someone who has genuine knowledge and understanding about the punk scene. So fuck him and I shake your hand. We know good music when we hear it.
