The Blasters Rockpalast Loreley 1985 (FULL)

[@alanscott6836]

On their night, the best Rock and Roll act on the block. They could do no more.

[@kathysahagian7478]

When I watch this I feel great affection for each and every one of these guys. Every show I saw they gave 100%, or it always sounded like it and it still does.

[@nuwavedave]

The Blasters were amazing! My Los Angeles New Wave band covered "Marie Marie" in our live shows back in 1980-83. In my mind, they were the best Rockabilly Cats ever.

[@stormbringercoming8105]

Wow!!! Never seen this. This had to be near the end of the original lineup. Sounds smokin', as usual. The world would be a better place if they would've become as big as they deserved to be. Saw them on the "Original Recipe" reunion tour at the TLA in Philadelphia in '02. An incredible show. You could sense some tension between the Alvin brothers though. Dave played guitar like a demon.

[@timwitwer6911]

I believe the 'final break-up' between the Alvin brothers was in April 86,,the 1st was after Gene and Dave gave notice after a 'poor' concert in Montreal (Oct/Nov) 85.

[@andyinoregon]

@@timwitwer6911 Yep, my 3rd Blasters concert in Portland was in 1986 when Hollywood Fats was replacing Dave Alvin on lead guitar. Still had the legendary Lee Allen on tenor sax. Got to shake his hand on his way off the stage.

[@MrRufioooo]

You guys are soooooo lucky..... i wish i could listen to him live at least.

[@jimfriery8641]

Saw them a few times in 1981 and 1982 around Los Angeles while I attended UCLA…they gave a great concert one time on campus during lunchtime….Classic!

[@roberthdahlquist]

Beautiful! So glad I got to see these guys in the early days (1979? '80?) in Sacramento, at (the long-defunct) Slick Willy's "New Wave Tuesday". Dave was still playing his little white Mustang, and I remember the rowdy, cranked-up bikers freely helping themselves to the band's beer on stage. RIP Gene.

[@rocknrolla2426]

These guys are on point. Good luck finding a show like this.

[@douglasjackson8571]

Hmm. You have colege radio in your state. That would be great place to start a new allegiance to 1980s bar bands that became newbie famous from classic concert videos

The Blasters ! Hands Down , The Best ROCK , Blues , Rockabilly Band , Ever, Seen Them more than a few times.....Along With ~~~X~~~ ! Rock Will Stand ! The Best Double Bill You Could Ever Witness : ~~~X~~~ & The Blasters !

[@donaldbulloch9426]

A: It’s about Hardline, which is incredible. B: OMG Their full glory. I read an article about this and it was supposed to be they were trying to sell and album and somehow be commercial. I guess that didn’t happen and what we’re left with is perfection. I love this.

[@Chakobe]

Saw them for the first time in 1980. Love them. The only band I will pay to see.

[@billmavin6203]

How did the stage stand the weight of all that talent. Everyone of them was all world and tight as a drum.

[@rockandrolldigit84]

Great show from a GREAT band.. The Blasters were da bomb b4 there was such a thing.

[@TCC309]

love the interview at the 16 minute mark, tension and all. great show, all killer and no filler.

[@kathysahagian7478]

That "tension" might of been part of what gave them that edgy sound. They are all passionate about their sound. Much was made of that tension and I don't think they had any more tension than any other siblings with real fire would have in that position. I think the press just went with that story as a lazy crutch. The music was always more interesting than the scrapping.

[@theufoexperience3859]

Great upload! THANKS!

[@f360speedhoodkinghotrods7]

Was 84 for me and the ripper of a hook "One Bad Stud"...¡ Thought they were headed for huge things but probably best they remained low key and exclusive... Didn't know the brothers had problems but who doesn't...¿ I'll keep blasting til I blast off this marble and beyond...☆☆☆

Jesus..Dave Alvin was a got-damn MACHINE for this show..

[@davidanderson8469]

And now we have Rap and female oriented mindless dance tunes. No phones,tattoos or arm waving.

[@douglasjackson8571]

Hmm. Local libraries have great books about Anthology listings of Blues. Smithsonian Folkways recordings on stereo albums/CDs show where the Blasters sound origin

[@andyinoregon]

"Trouble Bound" at 2:44 is probably my favorite Blasters song. Love that stop-time intro and outro and everything in between!

Ce fut le meilleur groupe de rock avec les cramps à cette époque et pour toujours... Toutes ces horreurs comme cette merde de Springsteen ne sont que de la guimauve à fric..quand est ce que ce dernier a fait du bon rock jamais...Les Blasters furent la quintessence même du rockabilly et du rock country, une voix dingue, un frerot guitariste créateur de fou et donc un répertoire ou la mélodie rock est ici érigé en chef d'oeuvre...!!! Dave Alvin est un pur génie, son frérot le plus grand chanteur de rock de tous les temps après Elvis dont ils sont les enfants purs...!!!!

Wtf? Ahahahahaha Eemmm ok i guess? 🤷🏾‍♂️ Why do you feel the need to state your opinion on one of them being better than the other? I love Setzer & Phantom, but the Alvin brothers make a less "teenager" type of Rbilly. I wonder if your comment it's even an opinion really....
