i think if they wanted to keep playing together after jello left, they should have done what RATM did; find a new vocalist and play under a different name
Pra continuar assim é melhor parar é respeitar a memória da banda, triste ver a banda assim sem nenhum propósito, nem eles sabe o que estão fazendo ali no pauco 😢😢
The Dead Dead Kennedy’s. I don’t begrudge them trying to make a living but the DK’s without Jello is like the Talking Heads without David Byrne. Steve Perry or David Lee Roth might be available.
@@drownthepoor I was gonna say whoever mixed for them definitely did something wrong or had some serious limitation on the gear available. Probably more of the latter. That said, this bass-heavy recording at 70% speed.... it's not good.
Thanks for posting. Very pleased I saw this 😮. Was going to pay £30 to see them in May in Bexhill UK, but would rather pay a fiver to see a cover band do it. Call it a day guys and remember the good times 👍🏻
I'm exactly the same. I drove down from London to see Devin Townsend at the DLWP in Bexhill recently and then found out that the DKs are playing there in May. I was already unsure about seeing them without Jello and now also without DH. I think I might give it a miss. It's a shame, cos I've been a DKs fan since 1980 and never seen them live. I did see Jello with The Guantanamo School of Medicine in London in 2009, and they were great.
@@hedgehog1965uk Big Country next weekend with Spear of Destiny supporting and the following weekend From the Jam supported by the Buzzcocks. Two good gigs at DLWP in a row 🙂
@@65BigNorm I used to see Buzzcocks pretty much every year during the 2000s, whenever they played a London gig. I even saw them at a small theater in Bromley and had front row seats (yes, SEATS), which was weird, but it ended well with those seats getting destroyed during the encore. I don't think I wanna see them without Pete Shelley though.
@@hedgehog1965uk Seen them many times, including the original line-up when they reformed in the late 80s. I saw them in December for the first time without Shelley and was surprised how good they were.
@@65BigNorm I assume by "original lineup" you don't mean with Howard Devoto :) I know what you mean though. I still have my "Buzzcocks Live legends" VHS tape, recorded in 1989.
This is terrible. This does not have the same presence and energy that DK once had. This is just a bunch of old guys trying to cash in on what was once a great sound. It's actually kind of sad.
When i started looking at the band now, i thought Skip was Jello till i looked at the band's info. I still like this dude, i think he does everything he can to keep it alive.
The fact that he is doing an impersonation of Jello is the most un-punk thing I can think of. Seriously, they should deconstruct the song, change the body language and create something that sounds interesting. The fact that you are noticing the difference is exactly the problem. My opinion is that every band should evolve and reinvent themselves instead of striving for a close approximation of the very person who left the band. Having something ironic like Mark Mothersbaugh giving a Devo twist would be way cooler.
Love, love, love!!!! So glad to see everyone looking and sounding great!!! One of my forever favorites, play this sh*t at my funeral pleeeeease!!!! 🤪⚰️😆😆♥️♥️♥️
This is, by definition, a travesty. It's a joke, a parody, and a hideous defiling of the legacy. Old fat people who need money are literally playing topical songs from the 1980s. There is no new material. Their young selves would laugh and spit on them. At least Jello has formed different bands and come up with new things to say. Jello is not perfect and he has perhaps taken too much credit for the legacy of the band. However, Jello is 87 percent of the legacy. This new incarnation is the definition of the Dread Pirate Robert. It's the name that counts while the individuals are irrelevant. I hate this more than needles in my eyes. I hate it more than wet socks.
Jello seems to pretty much saying the same things he's always said when I've heard him speak. Also I've seen him do DK's covers with other old bands. I do agreehis doesn't have the same energy or vibe that Jello gave the band.
I think the song "chickenshit conformist" is very relevant to this, it criticizes this sort of lack of originality, this grasping to something gone. It was made by this great band, can't remember the name, oh wait, no, I do remember it: The Dead Kennedys.
Versione Soft della musica canzone Holiday in Cambodia its good one buona versione poi le performance di jello ed altri ok intrattenimento we are alive non siamo Zombie we are not Zombies 🙂🙂💫💫💫💫🎭🎭🎭
Im seeing DK this friday and yeah i wish jello was still with the band but i appreciate these guys still playing even though dead kennedys have already been solidified as one of the best bands in history. Also ngl that crowd was shite. I hope to see some energy this friday
Have seen Hugh Cornwell on his own do Stranglers catalogue, same year I saw Stranglers with Baz……honestly…..enjoyed both for different reasons, but genuinely loved both…..things change, life goes on. Looking forward to seeing DK soon…..won’t be the same, of course not, but will give it a go!
@@mandykerr9956 Definitely no Stranglers now without Dave Greenfield (or Jet Black). At least their recent album features some of Dave's keyboards that had been recorded before he passed away, plus JJ's tribute song to Dave. JJ is still one of my favourite ever bass players though, next to Peter Hook.
They are playing in UK next month (May). Message from the band...... "These are the first shows since the recent passing of drummer DH Peligro. The tour was booked last year and out of respect for all of the fans who have already purchased tickets, the band felt they should honour their commitment and move forward with the dates. The tour will be therefore be entitled ‘DHPower’ as a tribute to the 40+ years that DH shared the stage with his bandmates. Santi Guardiola, long time friend of DH and the band, will be filling in on drums for the tour. Dead Kennedys hope you will all remember DH as the driving force of the Dead Kennedys sound. The band dedicates these shows to him."
Last time Skip version DK was in Australia Skip thought it was primary to bag on Australia and the value of our dollar at that time. Funny that. I spoke to D H peligro a couple times that night said why he was talking that shit for? D H said to me that night it wasn't called for from Skip. I had a few cigs at times with him that night. Skip can be put to bed. RIP my peligro he was gent that night talking.
I love the DKs, but I want my money back!! Truly sad. Recently, I was watching some old DK videos and thinking that Jello Biafra, because of his stage presence and physical performance, could have easily transformed into a Billy Idol type money machine around 1979-83. Either no moneyed backers saw what I saw, or Jello was for real. But by time Frankenchrist came out in 1985, it was too late. And that record was one I had to make myself like, much like Husker Du's Zen Arcade. The slightly more poppy, surfy California punk sound seemed like more of a natural progression in American music than NYC velvet underground style punk sound. But back then I would have been OUTRAGED if the DKs converted to Idol-esque punk pop, which I secretly enjoyed. I don't buy records or have a radio station, so who am I, then or now? All I know is is this is sad.
As a long time hanger on from the early - mid 80's, this pains me to watch. DH and I were stoner buddies in the Mission district. This is like a sad parody. Fuck this!
Not only is there no Jello but this is lifeless and slowed down. I think a Dead Kennedys cover band would be better at this point.
yeah this not the DKs just a grift
i think if they wanted to keep playing together after jello left, they should have done what RATM did; find a new vocalist and play under a different name
@@thebigfarter Or like Joy Division. Start a new band and go on.
@crispy9249 well thats kinda what Peligro did after Dead Kennedys, started his own band, Peligro.
They sound like the fkn s#x pistols 🤓
I've never actually seen Dead Kennedys without Jello. I never wanna see them again without Jello......
I feel violated 😅
D.H. looks so healthy and alive here. And it was just 4 months ago. R.I.P.
He is playing at half speed though.
he fell and died from head trauma...not illness
Yes, RIP MR Peligro.
@@80spodcastchannel Actually from a mixture of heroin and fentanyl overdose according to the LA County Coroner's autopsy report,. Read his Wikipedia.
Wiki is always almost ½right.
As Jello himself warned, this feels like "a really bad DK cover band"
Jesus Christ. Not the same without Jello. Wish they were all together :(
Its fucking awful
No Jello…DH is dead…this is a cover band
I'm sure it was a fun show.. But this sounds like ass. Maybe just the recording, but that bass is buzzing horribly
Banda cover mais e bom 😂😂😂😂
This is one of those rare, perfect songs that has infinite replay value for me. To see it done in this fashion hurts.
If only Jello was singing. Not DK without Jello.
No argument here, agree with u on all accounts
Pra continuar assim é melhor parar é respeitar a memória da banda, triste ver a banda assim sem nenhum propósito, nem eles sabe o que estão fazendo ali no pauco 😢😢
Not great. Walking thru it a bit here
Rays getting the money in as hes got corpal tunnel
The Dead Dead Kennedy’s. I don’t begrudge them trying to make a living but the DK’s without Jello is like the Talking Heads without David Byrne. Steve Perry or David Lee Roth might be available.
Yes yes yes KURWA MAC.
Came here to post the same... there is no DK without JB...
Yeah I couldn't agree more. Hopefully there is someone now that can better sound like jello without the whole being a dick part lmao
Steve Perry fronting Dead Kennedys? That I'd like to see!
DK isn't DK without Jello Biafra.
What strange phenomenon only captures the bass.
LOL thought it was me
Probably recorded on phone. It's because he was standing in proximity to the bass amp.
pretty terrible! I've only played a year but could play it better than that.
The bass is probably cranked up.
The guitar and vocals are all through the PA. That Marshall is probably at like 20% volume.
@@drownthepoor I was gonna say whoever mixed for them definitely did something wrong or had some serious limitation on the gear available. Probably more of the latter.
That said, this bass-heavy recording at 70% speed.... it's not good.
I had to listen to this on extremely low volume because my girlfriend was sleeping. It sounded like "Rock Lobster" by the B-52s. Holiday Inn Cambodia?
Best karaoke band in the world!
Just sing the song, don’t try to be jello
That was the first thing I thought as well!
They’ll never be a replacement for Jello
For real, at least when they had Brandon Cruz singing he was being himself
Jelly belly
Just say “great performance”! Don’t try to be a rock critic.
This lead needs to get off the stage
The fact that singer is copying Jello's moves is sad.
Should he be moonwalking haha

Why is this dude emulating Jellos moves? At least get your own.
Yeah, they suck. Not punk rock.
Literally any fan out of the audience would be as good a frontman doing their own Jello impression.
I’ve been watching this video for four minutes and I’ve yet to see or hear Dead Kennedys. No Jello, no DK
if you want Dead Kennedys listen to Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine
Jaysus somebody pull the trap door lever, loved these guys in the 80s, hang up your guitars boys!
I have no room for this crap, but there's always room for Jello.
Sucks without Jello.
The singer is trying to squeeze out a fart on stage and then he blows it into the crowds face.
Aw man nah this ain't it take me back
This is terrible. This does not have the same presence and energy that DK once had.
This is just a bunch of old guys trying to cash in on what was once a great sound.
It's actually kind of sad.
No jello = no DK. He's trying way to hard to imitate him.
no dead kennedys without jello this is a cover band
Depuis mes jeunes années j'ai toujours des frissons lorsque j'entends les Dead K...
This song made me go for a holiday in Cambodia
Stay home fellas and save some of the dignity left.that’s bullshit
If Jello's not singing, it's NOT The Dead Kennedys.
Sad that these youngsters have to endure this karaoke. Go make your own bands!
Without Jello, it'll never be DKs. They're just a poor imitation without him.
When i started looking at the band now, i thought Skip was Jello till i looked at the band's info. I still like this dude, i think he does everything he can to keep it alive.
yeah like emulating and doing everything unoriginally
@@distortiongal nah i can hear a difference in his vocal style and its neat.
@@4Syorha obviously there's a difference in his vocal style since he can't fucking sing

You must be family? it DOES NOT sound great in any sense.. It Is TRAGIC
Wait, IS that really DK? Or a Cover Band? I'm confused 🤣🤣🤣
I think it’s everyone but Jello. That’s definitely D.H. Peligro.
@@psyche234 hmm thanks for responding ! 😅
I saw the DK in Glasgow 1982 Ish I have no memory other than opening with JB say “John J Hinckley this is your life”
That random dude who got on stage with them would have been a better pick for lead singer
thats why fresh young bands should stop in time, like firework
Horrible Bass sound,bad Singer. Why didn't the three Guys went on as a Trio under a different Name?
Because Jello wrote the songs, it's pathetic.
Holy low energy song with bad singing Batman. Yes Robin, four Jokers scamming people
I thought it was just me... until I until I read the comments. 🥺

second best dead kennedys cover band there is.
No comparen! Disfruten! El chabal da lo mejor de sí. No sean cabezas de Poperos! Entre punks nos apoyamos, no competimos!

Where is Jello? Haven’t been able to keep up, but not okay paying for the “The Dead Kennedys” when he isn’t there.
Check out The Guantanamo School of Medicine (he's also done great stuff with Lard, Melvins, DOA, Nomeansno).
Jello is in Emeryville running Alternative Tentacles Records.
An old man trying to act and pretend he’s 20 is a terrible sight 😮
Yes, no respect for himself, whoever he is.
It’s definitely dead. But it’s not DK.
Jello says he was offered $4m to properly reform the DKs and he turned it down flat because he knew they wouldn't be good enough now.
Let the past be the past..
Los vi en los 90 un clásico del punk pon los años escuchando su música🎉🎉🎉
Ellos se disolvieron en el 86
jello was THE singer of the DK and The man behind all. This is a bad joke
Came on here to see how they looked before DH’s death. Ummm, what is this?
I would still love to see DK without Jello cause hey its DK with still 2 OG members and i love DK no matter what. Rip DH tho
Thank you❤
Just stop it! Please😢
Raw bass. Love it!
Who's singing？😂😂
Klaus and ray need their heads checked
For taking on that man
Impossible to replace.

Omg , this is a sad AARP version of a once furious song

Is that Tim Robbins doing Jello in some sort of comedy skit?
There's a time and place for everything. Hard pass.

This sounds like some hippie Woodstock phish bullshit. I’m gone
This is pathetic. Im in my 50s, was in the scene.....this is pathetic.
Its not DK without Jello.......
Nothing else to say
Because we are all unique. There can b only 1
