I have just stumbled onto these songs from Farm Aid 1985 and X put on a great show, wow! They're so tight. Is this available on disc as a whole show?

[@eddiecoyle9152]

[@WolfDaddy420]

Must've been that newwwwww mewwwwwwsic that they were finally gonna play on the radio, you know, the British Invasion...🤣✌🏻

[@WolfDaddy420]

I remember watching FarmAid live on TV at home way back in 1985 specifically because I had heard that X were gonna be there. At that point I was 21 and I had already been a fan for 5 years at that point and I still love 'em...✌🏻

“I have excellent news for the world. There is no such thing as new wave. It does not exist.” -Claude Bessy (in The Decline)

[@cesareantinellipickinup]

We know this as California hardcore punk

[@flyingburritobro68]

They were not a hardcore punk band. They actually have said hardcore ruined the punk scene in LA with the violence that came with it.

[@cesareantinellipickinup]

They were hard core punk band

[@JamesLamm-jt7vg]

What’s his name is Reagan
