Bad Brains
Live At CBGBs 1982
Music Video Distributors
8 out of 10
Band Website

The audio and visual quality on this dvd are about as good as its going to get considering the type of club, type of music, and the fact that it was 1982. The DVD itself does not have too many extras on it aside from tons of live songs which were taken from a 3 night series of hardcore music at CBGB which featured Bad Brains. Extras include interviews from only 2 different fans and one bonus audio track which is a reggae tune. The live performances showcase 19 songs which are all hardcore except for 4 absolutely classic reggae tunes. This DVD is a must have for Bad Brains fans or fans of hardcore or reggae music. I still can't get over how bizzarre this group was. The fact that a bunch of rastafarians started the hardcore movement blows my mind. On top of that, almost every great band that has enlightened people over the years has been inspired by Bad Brains in one way or another. After more than 20 years, if you go to a hardcore club, there are still kids playing the same music, and doing the same dancing/moshing, and wearing the same clothes. This window of the past looks a lot like present day. I cannot say enough good things about this band. The great thing about this dvd is that if you are in your twenties right now, you were probably too young to ever see Bad Brains play live, so this lets you see what others have raved about for so many years. Watching them perform live lets you see just how gritty H.R. was only vocals, and how versitile this band was when leaping genres during their sets. One very entertaining aspect of this dvd is the fans. Some of these people are so wierd, you can't tell if they are crazy or stoned, pissed off or just having fun, male or female, etc. I can turn on the dvd anytime when I am bored and just crack up at the sights or get psyched on the sounds.
