East Bay Ray had a wonderful mix of Dick Dale, Dave Davies and Albert King swirled into his infinitely recognizable special sauce riffs. He put the hook in with clever, powerful, whimsical chords that were melodic, elastic and anthem like.

That is what the Dead Kennedys were, fun. They were ironic, musical, loud, intelligent, talented and most of all, sincere. I saw Gibby, HR and David Yow in tiny clubs in Philly in the 80s and they all destroyed it back in the day but I never saw a DK show and this one here is just a great, great time capsule, brings back the memories, punk music masterclass, thank you for sharing.
Thank you for this comment. I only saw Jello perform once, in 2005 on an early date touring with the Melvins on their first collaborative album. I've been a DK's fan since 1987. They were my "gateway drug" to underground music. I've been living in the Philly burbs for 10 years. It would be cool to know in which clubs you experienced those shows.
Unbelievable how a random yt video from a channel with less than 5k subs has the video for night of the living rednecks, I thought the video for this evening was lost forever! Who would have thought I'd be treated to such a surprise on my lunch break
This video tape has actually been floating around for a long time within the tape-trader underworld. What a privilege it is to live in an era where tens of thousands of unreleased bootlegs like this can be watched on demand on RUclips. Yeah, there was a unique excitement that came with awaiting a package of tapes or CDs in the mail... but the convenience and accessibility factor of online sharing is truly unparalleled.
@@cftvdata I had no idea tape trading was even a concept until I found a punk rock record store in my city that seemed to pop up overnight. They had 3 different vhs tapes that were labeled as containing dk concerts, but I dont have a vhs player at my apartment so I had to leave them
Not sure what you mean by underrated? He’s one of THE most recognized vocalists from the entire punk movement. Anyone who knows anything at all about punk rock has heard of the Dead Kennedys and probably knows at least a few of their songs, and would be able to recognize his vocals. I think he’s made pretty successful impact. I agree he’s got a unique style, even by todays standards ✌🏻
Drug me with natural vitamin C Drug me with pharmaceutical speed Drug me with your sleeping pills Drug me with your crossword puzzles. Drug me with your magazines Drug me with your fuck machines With a fountain of fads, more rock n roll ads.... Fresh Fruit version is insanely fast. Eric was the best!
@@eaglebauersrecordcollection I guess what I mean is yeah he’s (rightly) we’ll known and recognized for his work. But his purely vocal ability is worthy of note both in and outside of the punk community. His voice, and how utilizes it, is truly unique. Idk if I’m adequately expressing my feelings or not lol.
Man, after hearing Night of the Living Red Necks since the mid-80's, it's a very surreal feeling to actually see it. We all have our personal visions in our heads that are created by what we're hearing. But this is what it actually looked like. Wild.

It is overlooked but the arrangements of the DK songs were so inventive. They didn't just try and kill it with power or hardcore tempos....they got the balance just right.
yes the musicianship can't be denied, the DKs created a frenzied 2.0 asymmetrically version of Kinks songs; East Bay Ray was an updated Dick Dale and Jello is a punkier Morrison. The Dks were a mix of the Doors, Kinks with a dash of Albert King, a vibrant skitzy, ironic, powerful mix.
Exactly and that’s why I latched onto them as the finest punk band. I never bought into the two chords and something to say shit, when there is real talented people like DK who also have something to say.
Mike we love you! Another great DK show you filmed in Portland and again extreme HQ. Wish you were here so I could buy you drinks for the nite! This is a DK eternal document for fans.
Ahh this show, There was Leesa Nation right up front, and I was behind the speakers behind the guitar player just by that out of tune piano, I was underage, and there is more of this night floating around as well. Thanks Mike. Always good to see your stuff.
yeah man for sure, the fooookin nasty chord progressions is what entices, teases and pleases us and lays the foundation for Jello's histrionic vocals to be comfortably placed over it
One of the best version of Holiday never heard.. Ted on drum is so great but in my opinion the band here still needs 6025 on second guitar.. Thanks for posting this gem!
I got this in a vhs swap with someone from MRR back in the 90s. Of course I was really enjoying it. And then had that, NO WAY!!! moment when "that" song played. Of course it became my favorite videotape from then on. The other part of the tape was the On Broadway show. Still my 2 favorite shows.
This is so great to see in such high quality. When I was still a punk-obsessed 13-year-old, a copy of this set (along with the accompanying "early" set from the same night) was one of the first bootlegs I ever listened to. It was sent to me by a guy from San Diego named Chris (who ran the BCT label back in the '80s), and who very generously sent me fifty-something shows in the mail so I could get my collection started and begin trading for real. Still one of the nicest and most selfless things anyone's ever done for me, btw, especially in an era of 2x-speed stand-alone CD burners! I remember that this particular set was one that really stood out to me for many reasons - the high audio fidelity, great setlist, raging performance, and of course the presence of "Night of the Living Rednecks" midway thru the second set! It wasn't til a few years later that I got my hands on the video copy, albeit in a much blurrier and higher gen version than what I'm watching today. Thank you guys so much for taking the initiative to tape the show and get the resulting recordings out there into trade circulation.
Thank you for putting this on RUclips for those of us (like me) who were 11 and unlikely to get to Portland, Ore. with our parents' permission at that age, esp. since we lived in South Dakota. Yet five short years later? PLAYED THIS EVERY DAY
Drug Me ! I was doped in '81 when I 1st seen and met these guys in Walnut Creek,CA Veterans hall w/my Psychologist and friend to the band, Richard Jacobson (R.I.P) through him I met Lyle aka Klaus Fluoride Jello East Bay Ray. I was feeling much better after that first time and seen em another 6-8 times in those next few yrs. I was reborn and became a S*P*R for Life. the rest is old now. Memories abound. still. the music is timeless.
I know so many of their songs. Winnebago Warrior crossed Nevada at 110. I live at the dorm and swim in the pool, Terminal, Terminal Preppie. Lol DK yes.
Listened to this 1000 times with everything else on the (Give me convenience or give me death) album in my car on my way to go skateboarding, and at work between 19 and 21. My true introduction to punk by one of the best fuckers around! Learned handplants, bs varials, and crashed 2 cars to your music... thanks for the ride
damn! they were ahead of their time. while everyone else listen to mainstream rock, these guys were playing these underground shows in 79' slam dance wasn't even thought of then lol
The reason DK stand out is Jello's command and almost every song they released is memorable in some way. The Owl is different from Holiday in Cambodia is different from Rambozo. They also tap directly into the decade. This is why they stand the test of time.
Saw Jello on a spoken word tour here in PDX in I think it was 2001 at the Hollywood Theater. Would have loved to have been to a DK show back in the day though! Alas I was just a little kid.
I get to watch Greg possess his guitar in a couple months! Saw him a couple years ago. Still he's so good. Yeah, with the current version of Black Flag.
Yes yes, excellent rockin guitarists period for punk obviously defining and leaps above the majority of player's, which in the not only good but great/excellent you got dudes from T.S.O.L., the Damned, Bad Brains, Void, The Proletariat, Social Distortion (RIP Dennis) Redd Kross Mission of Burma, But 2 guys that are contenders for best evah are D. boon and Geza X
Thank you for sharing this, looks so great!! My experience was never getting to see one song because there were alway 6-10 people slamming and stage diving, the gigs at the Whiskey in Hollywood (80s)were legendary and extreme, but not as musical as this. No one in front is afraid of getting in a fight, slammed into or being jumped on, free to enjoy!
That's a bummer. Unfortunately the early 80's ushered in a long era of over the top aggression at underground shows. One reason this video is a gem is that we witness the non-conformist free enjoyment of fringe artists by a diverse audience who respect one another.
@@krewgarr good points -being a bit older maybe? I never really got the idea of a 'mosh pit' with the associated 'music to punch people to' .....Watching Ramones on RUclips with a mosh pit present was a genuinely depressing view.
@@krewgarr Some audience members seem sort of shocked. Don't know how to react. All very new and open waters. Jello conquering the western world. What made early punk so awesome.
While I haven't seen the Dead Kennedys, I did get to see Jello do a full set with the Rev in Seattle back in 2012. Out of the hundreds of shows I've been to, by far the best.
Mike una vez mas gracias por hacer mi dia despues de laburar y ver este show alucinante de los Kennedys ,para mi la mejor banda Hardcore Punk de la historia , algunas de estas grabaciones estan en Give me convenience or give dead. escuche tanto en kct q creo q lo gaste
I had 'Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death' on CASSETTE in 7th grade, and when I heard that dude yelling 'RAWHIDE!' at the very beginning of this video, I was like oh my gaww is this THE show THAT track is from!?!? sure enough,
Ted and Peligro were both great in their own way. Two wildly different drummers that gave the band a unique sound in their presence. Ted's jazzy style definitely complimented their early material better, but with D.H. behind the kit, their sheer power was basically unparalleled. Man, they'd turn into a music freight train when he got going.
@cftvdata I disagree completely. Ted's drumming complimented the group and made them stand out and give them a unique sound. HR just had them play fast like every other band at the time. But, to each their own

Dead Kennedys crashed at my house after this show
Boss.
U rock!
I'm surprised they're not still there.
Nice! I have this feeling like Jello stayed up all night talking about politics. His intensity then never seemed to turn off.
This is true, I was the house.
East Bay Ray had a wonderful mix of Dick Dale, Dave Davies and Albert King swirled into his infinitely recognizable special sauce riffs. He put the hook in with clever, powerful, whimsical chords that were melodic, elastic and anthem like. Puts me in the mood when I was seven watching Batman (full tilt joy, Batman, Spiderman and Speed Racer, had a towel around my neck for a cape, danced to the intro, Adam West days, you never knew who might pop up, the Riddler, Joker, Batgirl, It was so exciting and fun. That is what the Dead Kennedys were, fun. They were ironic, musical, loud, intelligent, talented and most of all, sincere. I saw Gibby, HR and David Yow in tiny clubs in Philly in the 80s and they all destroyed it back in the day but I never saw a DK show and this one here is just a great, great time capsule, brings back the memories, punk music masterclass, thank you for sharing.
Check out closing of the On Broadway (upstairs from the Mabuhay, SF) for a crazier audience...
I love when they put the surf sound in punk music Johnny thunders did that too

How many times I listened to Night of the Living Rednecks without the visual, I gotta say, I pictured it way different. Great footage.
It is overlooked but the arrangements of the DK songs were so inventive. They didn't just try and kill it with power or hardcore tempos....they got the balance just right.
Exactly. There is a ton of musicianship with the DKs. I heard it right away.
I love the surf-rock influence especially, it worked so well mixed with punk. Agent Orange is obviously another great example.
yes the musicianship can't be denied, the DKs created a frenzied 2.0 asymmetrically version of Kinks songs; East Bay Ray was an updated Dick Dale and Jello is a punkier Morrison. The Dks were a mix of the Doors, Kinks with a dash of Albert King, a vibrant skitzy, ironic, powerful mix.

Jello's stamina was impressive I wonder if he needed stimulants
The one band from back in the day I wish I could've seen.
i have lots of love for Klaus Flouride on the bass
Bruce's drums are so awesome. All those flams and hi-hat accent work on a tiny 3 piece jazz kit.
His playing on Holiday is spectacular....all his notes, but Holiday is standout☆
Bruce is an amazing drummer.
Little Gretsch kit. I liked him more that Peligro and I really liked Peligro.
@@Darrylizer1 Yep.
Yes
I still hear the surf guitar in this band
Had no idea there was video of this, listened to Give me Convenience when skateboarding so many fucking times as a kid. ...Fred Meyer!
That shirt pulling contest by Jello and someone in the audience at 27:18 is hilarious. Great music and very entertaining Jello
I know it's a punk show but some people are so rude like show some respect to the band who's entertaining you
Best hard-core band ever!!!
Fantastic performance is super cool to hear these songs... pure raw goodness ...
For me this is golden ....best sound ever...
Stripped down, 4 on the floor, raw rock and roll!!!

Thank yooouuu!!! I'm so sick of people saying they're nothing without Jello.
He is one of the few examples in punk bands where tone is in the fingers. You hear him playing and you know who it is by feel.

a hardcore punk band without a distortion pedal!!! That's pure genius!
Lyle Preslar in Minor Threat also. There are more but I can't remember - tired & going to bed.
But he sure had nice tape delay
For punk, an overdrive pedal is enough.
the genius of East Bay Ray babay
Greg Ginn of Black Flag never used pedals.

Ted and Peligro were both great in their own way. Two wildly different drummers that gave the band a unique sound in their presence. Ted's jazzy style definitely complimented their early material better, but with D.H. behind the kit, their sheer power was basically unparalleled. Man, they'd turn into a music freight train when he got going.
@cftvdata I disagree completely. Ted's drumming complimented the group and made them stand out and give them a unique sound. HR just had them play fast like every other band at the time. But, to each their own
Damn I was in kindergarten, and I am almost forty-eight now! Started listening to DKs in '89.
That would be cool if you were at a DK show in kindergarten lol
Going to see them on the 19th/2022
