First ever Hüsker song I heard, and it was love at first hearing! Glad I managed to see them the same year, it was by far the loudest gig I´ve ever seen (my ears were still ringing 3 days after), and I´ve been to more than 350 gigs!
i don't see what all the complaints about Warehouse are about. Its perfect. Its full on and the drums sound right on the button. A remix will do nothing for it. I like the sound off all of the albums wouldn't change 'em for the world. Our bunch of mates all sank into Zen Arcade at the time and then couldn't believe how quickly the LPs kept coming. No reunion ever. Good. They did it. Its done and dusted. And it remains as potent as music gets. Maaaaaan
@cheezgrater : thanks for your comment. Nice to see a true Husker fan who knows what they're talking about. However, I'll agree to disagree. Song for song , "Warehouse" is , i think, their most consistent collection of tracks. With maybe a couple of exceptions, no filler on the lp, which for a double lp is typical of the talent this band possessed. Granted, "Apple Grey" was disappointing, and I love "Wig" ,"Arcade" ,"Rising" but "warehouse" is their crowning creative achievement for me.
just a bystanders remark.. one of the most civilized, most interesting and most funny commentaries on youtube in my opinion are found on huskers pages. just saying
maybe the drums were recorded seperately from the guitar and bass from what i remember grant and bob were not exactly the best of pals before the band split for good.
Definitely, the same songs are MUCH better on the the live CD. "Standing in The Rain" is an example. Everything on "Warehouse:" sounds like the same song.
I always laugh when I remember that they are gay. Anyone would think that if any member of the band was gay it would be Greg. Ya know...the mustache...
It's not just the horrendous mixing, the drumming is really horrible on both of their major label releases. I suspect they may have recorded the drum tracks separately from the other instruments but Grant's style totally depends on complementing the rhythm of the rest of the band.
Hahaha yeah that face rules. Why do all the Warehouse songs sound so much better live than on the album? The drums are all really out of time on the studio versions for whatever reason but Grant sounds great here...
@girlie347: Husker Du got better with each record, the final lp "Warehouse Songs & Stories" was undoubtedly their most consistent lp. "Zen Arcade", "Flip Your Wig", " New Day Rising" were great lps, but their first records "Land Speed Record" etc any true Husker Du fan will tell you, were not their best. So I'm at odds understanding your statement .And who gives a shit what the shape of his guitar is?..Do you know ANYTHING about this band? Do you know why you posted such a misinformed comment?
Greg Norton is just all over that bass line as usual. Underrated bassist. Underrated musicians in general actually.
One word describe the discography of this band: Perfection.
One of the greatest bands that ever was or will be. Pure genius.
Literally brings tears to my eyes. This album saw me through some crazy times in my life.
First ever Hüsker song I heard, and it was love at first hearing!
Glad I managed to see them the same year, it was by far the loudest gig I´ve ever seen (my ears were still ringing 3 days after), and I´ve been to more than 350 gigs!
How can a song be the most depressing and the rockingest at the same time?
I desperatly need more songs from this incredible gig!
Grant Hart is majestic
the best band on the planet ever!
a monumental song. rip Grant Hart.
I saw myself dancing there.
Thanx for posting these good old days.
Glorious!!
One of the best songs of the 80's. Fantastic hamonisation.
MW
Oh god yeah, this song on the Living End was what got me into Husker Du. Great song.
Great song from an amazing album.
Damn, Greg is a beast on the bass!
BEST band ever...and one of my favorite songs!
Ice Cold Ice...nuff said!! This song always gives me chills...and especially pöayed live..*The Living End*...

My favourite Dü track. I'll always regret never seeing them live !
It caught me off guard when he started singing the second verse 1st
It was freezing and pissing with rain that day.
Hüsker Dü were awesome though.
Nice to see, i'm standing in that crowd.
Lamblogic me too. Saw you?
Lucky
i love the videos of bob doing hüsker songs today, but nobody plays these songs like actual hüsker dü.
The weather was horrible at Pinkpop 1987 on the Baarlo Autospeedway but this gig was brilliant.
Inderdaad, helemaal weggeregend, maar volop genoten.
the best of hasker du
ALL MIGHTY HUSKER DU!!

OMG, I almost forgot about that old flyin' V of Bob's.
It must have been cold-Norton is wearing gloves!
Outstanding!
true. i wouldn't mind hearing some modern remixes of the albums, but i doubt bob and grant would wanna deal.
only this track and eight miles high were broadcast, but I think the whole show was filmed.
I really hope the good people from Pinkpop broadcast the full show soon. R.I.P. Grant Hart
Greg stripped off his snowmobile suit, strapped on his bass, and away they went.
Be rad if they reformed and played all of zen arcade hahahah. New day rising is awesome too!!!!
Borat's dad rocked !
1:46 hahaha
I've never seen before Greg singing anything...
@IceCreamAllTheTime
This was 1987, hipster irony wasn't invented yet.
i think warehouse sounds thin...actually a lot of their albums sound thin, but i love 'em anyway. perhaps future remasters could remedy this?
How true a fantastic lp with every track a gem. but so listenable it got slated. go figure. seen bob about 6 times since and he is still awesome.
Bob Mould is very underrated.
maybe the drums were recorded seperately from the guitar and bass from what i remember grant and bob were not exactly the best of pals before the band split for good.
Definitely, the same songs are MUCH better on the the live CD. "Standing in The Rain" is an example. Everything on "Warehouse:" sounds like the same song.
yeah, that's hilarious! I wonder what that face was for.
this is june 87, their last show was december 87.
he forgot the first verse.....oh well - great tune anyway~!
as far as i know, Bob wants to remix the albums but the other two don't, that and other reasons are holding back reissues
Did They Play Bed Of Nails?
I always laugh when I remember that they are gay. Anyone would think that if any member of the band was gay it would be Greg. Ya know...the mustache...
Bob Mould has been playing that Flying V since 1980.
It's called songwriting. What are you, 12 years old?
It's not just the horrendous mixing, the drumming is really horrible on both of their major label releases. I suspect they may have recorded the drum tracks separately from the other instruments but Grant's style totally depends on complementing the rhythm of the rest of the band.
