The WIPERS - Over the Edge (Live 1983 ) HQ

[@anthony-antonlong2884]

It's actually a miracle this footage ever surfaced. Mike Lastra who made this film NW Passage stumbled on to it by chance when he was interviewing someone for the film and they said a neighbor some old footage he took of bands from back then. The neighbor gave it to Mike and it was pretty rough. After spending much time cleaning it up this is what came out. Sage never wanted any live footage done and wasn't real happy then about this surfacing.

[@susragejr477]

Sage is a brilliant musician but I really hate how restrictive he is with his legacy. His sheer stubborn dedication to indie ethics and doing things 100% his way is admirable but I feel like his attitude towards his legacy borders on shooting himself in the foot

[@theiceman6941]

@@susragejr477 YES! Thank you for stating it clearly. It's actually more like the Wipers have grown over the years in spite of him. And I write this as a total fan; they are one of my favorite bands ever, I've been a fan since Over The Edge came out.

[@blue2134]

One of my favorite bands, totally obsessed with

[@lethrneck4]

i love this song and album so much..i would go back to it over and over as life threw pitfalls and broken relationships nonstop at me in my 20s...listening to it as a 40 year old married, happy with life finally dad....it still hits...

[@jimany5334]

When I lived in Portland, OR(2009-2012), there was literally a Greg Sage "Shoppe". It literally sold all(and only) things Greg Sage/Wipers. Pretty fuckin cool.

[@xdef1ne]

Damn that sounds fucking rad

[@manuelveniani1025]

Wish I could been there... :/

[@anthony-antonlong2884]

That was Zeno Records on Burnside Street run my Wipers drummer Steve Plouf.

[@Rocket_Lunch]

Oh wow. I would travel to Portland for that if it still existed

[@leahflower9924]

This is the kind of punk music I like angry but not political well at least I don't think they're political lol

[@depletable]

These guys should've been bigger. Before my time, but I love'em.

[@kryptichands968]

Greg didn't want it. He did what Kurt couldn't unfortunately

[@leahflower9924]

​@@kryptichands968yeah lol

[@KINGMONKEY1989]

Incredible band, no wonder kurt Cobain loved these guys so much. He turned alot of kids onto these incredible bands that deserved to be heard by a hell.of alot more people who love Punk Rock and other genres of Rock n Roll. You can hear the influence.

[@ineedjesus7]

man that guitar tone is sick. so heavy

[@davidtollefson8411]

Saw them in ‘83 opening for Dead Kennedys. My first punk rock show, which I’ll never forget. Greg Sage’s guitar sounded monstrous.

[@iloveslideking]

Way ahead of their time! Masterpiece!

[@missnordstern2119]

Melodic punk rock at its best!

I miss my 17y age coc#in/weed/garage band...true friends...where is the real punk rock today!?

[@2000s-]

Check us out

[@vlassisnikas7634]

Great song! In my humble opinion Wipers, New York Dolls and The Ramones are the holy trinity of punk rock. Greg Sage must activate the band again.

[@TheHEARSEDRIVER]

Personally, I’d add The Cramps as well. Make it a holy quadrinity.

[@donnyRoxU]

The DEad B0yS

[@leahflower9924]

I'm from new York and I agree throw in some velvets and heartbreakers and stooges for me

[@Rshields388]

Richard Hell. Can't forget him. Big influence on the punk fashion too.

[@march950]

There was going to be a reunion with Greg and two other members but they got into an argument and scrapped the plan

[@Safe-and-effective]

Had no idea Gareth from the Office rocked this hard.

[@Tamperedmusic]

One of Kurt Cobain's biggest influences and also a lefty guitarist! I saw them much later in 1997 at a club in NYC and still have the set list from the floor. I wish they played these songs though...I missed the boat.

[@leahflower9924]

Dude had the look 😎

Amazing band & Greg's solo albums r fantastic.

It's not the truth I seek It's just a mockery Don't need to waste my time You know I've really tried You take and never give It get's so hard to live I'm hangin on a ledge Pushed straight over the edge Don't do the thing's you do Don't have to oblige you Makin choises on my own Dont buy their trite, and drone Grow up and be a man Drop dead right where I stand I hangin on a ledge Pushed straight over the edge

[@jameschoice3983]

They dug so deep!

[@foreverfornow]

Amazing. I watch this knowing that Sage would probably prefer this not have surfaced. I just wanted to experience what it might be like to see them play. I’ll continue to let the music speak for itself, and that it does well

[@j0hn_d037]

What a masterpiece. It's 5.20+ am and i'm listening to it and havin' fun. I even learned this song on the similar SG as Greg used it on this live. What else to say. Havin' attacks while you're in the capial of you know the name of the country, too much had being said, so i myself do despise mentioning it, but anyway, life is great, and i'm lucky to have the chance to enjoy the Wipers. That should mean something. I wish i was on that gig, but how could i. Thanks to Greg, i hope that he'd someday play the show as he did on this record. Air aid signals now, and i don't even care about them as i'm living over the edge)

I think he used the combo version of an old ampeg V4

[@garrettlemieux4620]

Roll your tone knob back a bit

@@garrettlemieux4620 The one for trebble or rhythm?

[@xdef1ne]

Greg used custom amps and guitars, you won't get the exact tone but you'll get close with just a distortion pedal and the tone knob rolled back or a mids boost.

[@thepuppethead1188]

Dead Moon and the Wipers are like the two biggest Portland bands I think

[@craigharrison1274]

So has portland had a huge underground house show scene like Olympia? There’s gotta be a Portland sound.

[@thepuppethead1188]

@@craigharrison1274 yeah there's lots of house shows in portland,more so in Eugene. None of the bands are particularly great besides like the psychedelic rock bands (go figure,hippies) but ya know the band U-Nix are pretty good,maybe see what label they're on and branch out. But mainly the Wipers and Dead Moon are the big landmark portland punk rockers.
