I was at this show! And woodstock! And at the nirvana show when they played teen spirit for the first time! Also my uncle invented exclamation points and I get a cut of the profits!
I remember you. I saw you in front of main stage. You were drinking dolphin juice and nibbling on cheese curds. I tried hootin to tell you about those elbow ticklers but you were too busy with your cousin that drools too much.
"her her her, same guy acts the same way.. ....well, considering I couldn't say the same about TIm's style of playing here yeah , I do think Matt is pretty unique in this aspect. dipshit
No joke. These guys were just as influential on me as Fugazi, and more so than the Kennedies or Black Flag cos I’m closer to these guys in age. I thought I was the only one who still believed in punk by 1987, and I was just getting started, myself!
There is so so much to say about this. Absolutely incredible. Another magic moment from 87 for punk etc. Bass is crazy! But like rest of the band having so much fun and looking as natural as could be playing so great. Clearly all talented and well practiced and played even at this point, and some of the best chemistry between each other I've seen from a band in a spot like this, blows my mind.
My band played one fucked up show in Redding, CA @ the Plumbers Hall. Cops shut us down and Op Ivy ended up playing at a tiny house out in Old Shasta. Gawd DAMN …. they were just like this: PHENOMENAL
I have that same Damned shirt, or I should say my wife does, as it hasn't fit me in a while :(...haha So stoked I found your channel, so many amazing shows! I lived in SF '88-'98, was at alot of them, Not seeing the Social D at Gillman from around this time..any chance you have that one? Any Willson Gill & The Willful Sinners? (old friends :) Thanks for all these!!
With Mohawk anything over 8 inches takes exponentially longer to spike than a shorter Mohawk can that be put up in less than 5 minutes. When it gets longer it takes much more effort and can't be done in less time than a cigarette burns
My very first duty station was Alameda in 1994. What a weird way to get introduced to punk rock by seeing a bunch of gatekeeping punks. Dookie was released a month or two before I arrived, and so I got to see a good bit of bullshit.
Looks like this is the first live show these boys ever played. Once you know that bit of info, it's much more palatable. They get a bit better around the 14 minute mark. As someone who currently lives in Berkeley (18 years now), and who lived in Hoboken in 1990-1991, a few years after this gig was played. I'm trying to figure out why a Berkeley band is singing about Hoboken, NJ? I thought *maybe* it was going to be a song about Maxwells, but nope. lol I drive by 924 Giman about 6-8 times a week going to/from Whole Foods. Prior to 2020, you'd see a lot of purple haired kids lined up outside to see shows.
This video isnt how to get into Operation Ivy. It’s too bad this is your first exposure to them. Unlikely you’ll discover how great they actually were at this point. Sorry for your loss.

Yeah, the well-known tool of all professional bands, play a song twice.
I was at this show! And woodstock! And at the nirvana show when they played teen spirit for the first time! Also my uncle invented exclamation points and I get a cut of the profits!
I saw you at Little Richard's first show too! (and don't worry I sent your Uncle a royalty check for that exclamation point I just used)
Everywhere man….
What a superhero
Cool I remember you, I was at this show too! I took the video, played guitar, and I'm three of the people in the front row!
I remember you. I saw you in front of main stage. You were drinking dolphin juice and nibbling on cheese curds. I tried hootin to tell you about those elbow ticklers but you were too busy with your cousin that drools too much.
Run Forest, run!!!
I collected op ivy tapes for 5 years and I had never seen a first (second) show recording before. Very cool, thanks for the upload.
Can you post videos of these tapes?
If you collected Op Ivy tapes and don't have a RUclips channel what are you doing with your life
@@Nolan_and_dad getting old and shitty lol
Release the tapes my man
its crazy that Matt Freeman still stands and sways the exact same way when he plays
My thoughts exactly
Crazy. It's like they are the same person.
@@Lifesvagabondhahaha
Same guy acts the same way? Woah dude
"her her her, same guy acts the same way.. ....well, considering I couldn't say the same about TIm's style of playing here yeah , I do think Matt is pretty unique in this aspect. dipshit
This is a national treasure
well put sir

There would be a few more people if they do a reunion gig/tour!
Its so cool to think that no one there that night, in that moment, probably band included, really knew what they were seeing
What are they seeing?
They were hanging out enjoying their friend's band
@@nimitz1739 The beginnings of a legendary band
@@nimitz1739a band that became one of the most influencial punk bands of all time 🤷
@ and who is that

Matt's bass playing is out of this world.
omg he looks like such a baby here! Where does the time go?
They got so much better from 87 to 88, this video is truly a document of evolution
Thank you for your service
dude. yes. thank you for posting. hope you're feeling alright
Dodging it so far. Thanks
When I saw the thumbnail I thought it was vanilla ice .
I thought it was Bieber.
So cool that this even exists! Get Dead sounds like what Op Ivy would have turned into if they’d continued making records.
I'm glad i found this. Killer VHS tape recording
Thanks to keep it alive... This video is a treasure indeed!!!
Hell yeah! Don’t remember this at all, since I wasn’t there!
endearing to see that even back then, punk shows had the same, "only 4 people plus the bands showed up" Issue.
My band played one fucked up show in Redding, CA @ the Plumbers Hall. Cops shut us down and Op Ivy ended up playing at a tiny house out in Old Shasta. Gawd DAMN …. they were just like this: PHENOMENAL
This is sick thank you thank you, so cool seeing them as youngsters
Fun fact: Dave Mello still uses those cymbals.
Just the ride cymbal. It's so massive that he couldn't break it. He would play crash cymbals until they completely disintegrated/exploded.
I was just thinking what a killer drummer he was in this video. He plays with so much power, and a killer groove.
I was gonna say I used to play this music and cover some of their stuff and only the ride would survive😂
GILMAN!!!
so glad i was able to play at that iconic venue
Me too, with Cavity in 1997
Big Wayne, all of Stikky and Murray Bowles up front
Martin from Isocracy as well
RIP Murray..
A very young Murray B's. ❤❤❤
Here to see Murray again 'click'
Unreal. I think that carpet is still on the stage.
Awesome to see this retransfered! Thanks
Am I the only one that thought it was vanilla ice at first glance? Lol
i saw justin beiber
WOW that plaid sure was in style back then lol
This is fantastic
0:26 thats the most Timest riff ever lol
haha
Uhhh that's Lint!
nice to see tim do the heavy lifting for once
thanks for posting!
thank you so much.
Wow great sound quality
Looks like Beiber
Tims guitar style is crazyyyyy
Seriously.. people think he's never plugged in.. but he's always been plugged in. He is so punk the guitar just obeys him.
actually, he gets ironically unplugged several times here.. but you know what i mean.
Gold 🖤
Wow. Thanks for uploading
I have that same Damned shirt, or I should say my wife does, as it hasn't fit me in a while :(...haha
So stoked I found your channel, so many amazing shows! I lived in SF '88-'98, was at alot of them,
Not seeing the Social D at Gillman from around this time..any chance you have that one?
Any Willson Gill & The Willful Sinners? (old friends :)
Thanks for all these!!
No to both, sorry. Glad you found the channel!
Legendary upload
possible proof of time travel
Damn, Justin Bieber used to be pretty cool 🤘🏼
young matt is such a strange look to my brain
I'm melting.
Thx for posting stay cool
Good frontman!
Damn, I didn't know that Justin Bieber was the original vocalist for Operation Ivy.
Wow! Amazing
Does anyone have pictures of Jesse with that mo-hawk at full mast?
SICK
Was just going to say Murray Bowles🥹
Is that Jeff Ott that crowd surfed ?? 😳😳🧐
dead crowd holy shit
Didn’t the drummer own a record store in South Lake Tahoe around 1998?
Already studied NOT ME dystopia, wasted, ruins, chaotic, benine, di-course, corrupt, derange, semi-ballistic, machoistic
The bestttt
Looking like Vanilla Ice
Before the whole world got what we got from the get. I was at this lame gig (get it?). ❤
Get it, got it? Good
look at his hair oh omg ahahah a purple devil lock, thats some rare shit
Obviously it's a Mohawk that he didn't put up. Not very rare to see a purple Mohawk or a rocker too lazy to spike it up
With Mohawk anything over 8 inches takes exponentially longer to spike than a shorter Mohawk can that be put up in less than 5 minutes. When it gets longer it takes much more effort and can't be done in less time than a cigarette burns
L-O-V-E-!
from Athens!
The Stikky logo on the wall is a nice touch! 🤣 Did they play that night as well?? 🎶🎶🔊🔊
The flyer says that they did! Op Ivy, Stikky, Gang Green, MDC hardcoreshowflyers.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/stikkymdc.jpg
u can see them in the front so im assuming
I was born May 18, 1987 @ 1:11am. What the hell are they playing a Sunday night for??
You're the type of person that couldn't fathom ever eating pancakes at night, aren't you.
wow 😍
I didn't know Vanilla Ice was in a pop punk band
I thought it was him in the thumbnail,for a second🤣😂
Calling this pop punk is weird, but yeah I agree that’s really vanilla ice
Did he say at the beginning this is their first show ever?
He said it was their first song

Hi neighbor!
The first 14 mins is still much better than 99% of the other first shows Ive seen.
Sleep once sleep well only to awake in hell
Wow. I used to think these guys were good back in my skateboarding days. Crazy how the mind develops
VHS home recorded doesn't really transfer over the actual music and sounds they made.
🤯
Wasn't Tim's best work!
Nobody remembers Jessie!
His bands are very underrated (Classics Of Love and Common Rider if anyone needs a pointer)
Hoboken
Never trust a punk with an Op Ivy patch.
かっけー🎉
That's funny...
🤘🤘
They sound bad. Cool video
Had no idea Justin Bieber was in OpIvy
Tim was such a try hard. Nice stage outfit with specially tailored hat. Joke.
Was... haha. He has always been very image conscious. Lars even more so
Get that money!
who else thought it was vinilla ice in the thumbnail?
You need to go back and look at how very SQUARE because he does NOT look anything close to Vanilla Ice. Seriously.
justin bieber had a ska band? !
Xtc zeter
Is this jesse singing?
Actually, put it back down.
Show? This is a room. This also sucks.
Who?!😂😂😂 Im sorry, i just gave it a chance. Absolute garbage that should not be publicized

Are you seriously asking who Operation Ivy are?
@@mattb3043 not asking. That would imply that I cared.
The Gilman was the worst thing to ever happen to punk all the woke shit started there.
Ya gotta be kidding, right?
What’s woke?
Hahaha..:kindly fuck off. There is more punk history in that room than most of the US combined, outside a couple obvious places.
They were commies, sure, but some great music came from there.
@@davidlinehat4657 what’s commie about them?
Moronic
와 꽃미남이었네 ㅎㅎ
