  • Mission of Burma are a Post-Punk/Alternative Rock band from Boston, Massachusetts. This video is ripped directly from my copy of the live DVD included with the Vs. 2008 album vinyl reissue. This video was directed and produced by Paul Rachman (American Hardcore) at what was supposed to be one of MOB's final shows. I believe the Hardcore band Negative FX also played this show (Which is why there are lots of Hardcore kids in this footage), during which a riot broke out. It was their last show also. Two sets were recorded: An afternoon set (this) and an evening one ( • Mission of Burma - Liv... ).
    I will remove this video at the request of any of the members of MOB, Rachman or anyone at Matador and/or Ace of Hearts Records. I wholeheartedly support MOB and encourage every single person who watches this does so also.

    These guys stayed at my house for a gig in Charlotte, NC back around this time - I was 12/13 yo - left me with an LP - always fascinated with the guys - great to see this live footage - and, super nice dudes.

    Thanks for sharing. Bought the Vinyl in 1985 or 1986 mostly because there was a Pere Ubu cover (a band that covered Ubu couldn' be bad) and I didn't know until reading "Our band could be your life" (which I really recommend) that there is footage of these shows.

  • @valeriehunting6669

    I have just been reading the book Our band could change your life and there is a chapter on these guys. I'd heard of them, but obviously only gave a track or two a listening in passing but reading the book led me to listen to the early albums which made me realize that my younger self made an error. THIS FOOTAGE tho, omg. Captures the spirit of what I read and the times. Loving it.

    That bass tone! If anyone knows Conley, can you please ask him about his signal path and the EQing of his amp. He is absolutely pounding those strings and his signal holds together as if he's playing through 5 preamp pedals.

    Why are MOB such a wholesome band??
    Roger Miller doesn't mind fans doing stage dives and smiles enough, Clint smokes a ciggy while playing fat basslines and I think Pete is backing Roger's vocals but he would have done that with ease if he were to lead.
    Such diverse effects on them songs make me go GAGA!!

      Martin Swope was the guy. He didn't come back for the band's reunion. He would record snippets during soundchecks then loop these, run the tapes at half or double speed or backwards etc. He wasn't onstage so these weird loops and textures seem to fade in from nowhere.
