I don't care much for "hardcore" thrashy stuff, but when a songwriter and band can marry melody, heartfelt sentiment and balls out rock together it's fucking beautiful.
When Husker Du emerged, they were considered hardcore. Obviously pretty mellow compared to what'd pass for hardcore 35-40 years down the road. For my money, their energy has aged well though.
Like Fugazi, Minutemen, Joy Division ... sometimes chance (luck?) puts together unique musicians that produce unique music. Thanks Bob, Grant (R.I.P.), Greg.
@@gupster24 yeah with 1 camera and the one with the camera has been paid for ... because its his job ... today you just see almost everyone holding their mobilphones up in the air and filming the whole session instead of enyoing their time, youth and abilitiy to be there ... if i where in a band i just would break up the whole concert because its absolut disrespectfull to me... on the other side as a tour booker i would just forbid taking videos on smartphone an make a free download and code for everyone whohas been visting the show
I find it really interesting that there was some of this hard rocking music which totally sounds like it was from the 90s going on in the 80s which sounds nothing like "80s music" the way pop culture normally defines it. Also punk rock. I wonder what my little mind would have thought if I saw this at the time when I was 10 years old. It would have been such an alien experience to me, only ever having heard highly curated mainstream radio music and top 40 stuff.
I remember first time seeing Husker Du's "Makes No Sense At All / Love Is All Around" video on a cable-access UHF show in 1986. I saved up some money and bought New Day Rising LP and the "Makes No Sense At All" 7". The 80s SST record label roster of bands were the best.
Excellent quality indeed!!! Do you have more videos? I'd love to see the whole performance, warehouse was much better performed live. I've never seen a husker show from that tour, just a couple of audio bootlegs. Thanks for the videos!
i was there, and was pretty fucking disappointed. At the time i was more into their early hardcore stuff, and the only old song they played was Everything falls apart...... of course, over the years i've come to love the later records too... I saw Sugar at this same festival many years later at the "small" stage, Sooooo fucking good....
The audience had no idea that they were in the presence of greatness.
before nirvana . there was Hüsker Dü
I think a moment should be taken to appreciate Grant's phenomenal backing vocals. God damn.
those vibratos

That feeling is mutual
It's the same reason why Bad Brains are such a fantastic group, the blend of energy and melody is super potent
I would consider this hardcore at all ? This mellow compared too most .

Well put friend.

I saw at least 2 cameras lol
ok boomer
I dont know if you know this but they recorded this concert with a camera, which was then put onto a dvd.

When bands meant something a golden Era

One of the chapters from my punk rock youth.
+Peter Daigle Me too...this is my 1980s music.
Love seeing these old performances! The Huskers in all their glory.
Take me back to this time, man

Una delle più belle cose che abbia visto in vita mia
THE BASS AT THE END!

Excellent quality indeed!!! Do you have more videos? I'd love to see the whole performance, warehouse was much better performed live. I've never seen a husker show from that tour, just a couple of audio bootlegs. Thanks for the videos!
Definitely see an influence on Green Day and a lot of the mid '90s punk bands that emerged post-grunge
SECRET RADIO AND INTIMTAE TRANSMISSION FOR YEARS ONLY...AGENT69 LOVES BOB...

Bass is way too loud. Great song though!

I guess singing out of tune is hip.
Fair enough. I hope you enjoy your Celine Dion and Whitney Houston collection. They sing perfectly in tune.
You don't get it do Du
Alistair Kinnear I would chop your ears off. Idiot.
