Fugazi - Waiting Room - Live - 1988 - St. Louis, MO

[mebemusic]

I LOVE FUGAZI AND I LIVE IN STL SO THIS IS GOLD

[halifuckinfan]

why is this song so stuck in my head?!?!!!!!

[HOC666]

I saw Fugazi around this time at 1227, which years later became "The Galaxy." However, I thought that was later than 87. Maybe 89 or 90. The stage is big enough to be 1227, but damn, not sure.

[ironhead1138]

To theivory1 -

My first Fugazi show was in '93 - two shows at Mississippi Nights (with Dazzling Killmen). I was only 11 years old in '88, but this show looks like it was also at Mississippi Nights.

[theivory1]

I never missed a Fugazi show in St. Louis. I was a freshman in High-School in 88. I dont remember where this show was. In 91 or 92 they played a two night show, one of which was my birthday at Mississippi Nights with the Dazzling Killmen. That was wild. That was the first time I ever heard the Killmen. The perfect opener for Fugazi.

[nikbelane]

2 shows Benards Pub. Missippi Nights was 96

[jmzr65]

A+++++++++++++++++++++++++ video

[colestauffer]

@jmzr65 i think you missed a couple +s

[acrivilare]

it may have been the old benards pub if i am not mistaken

[Cooderospie]

whats the club they are playing at? Mississippi Nights?

[dannyedwards321]

A little loose but, hey, it's 1988, and if u didnt want 2 listen to David lee roth (no offense, luv him) u went to a $5 show and rocked out w/these guys. Hell, i'm rocking out to this song even to this day. Good raw $h1T. Thumbs up.

[timothyxmcveigh]

Im pretty sure fugazi kicks way more ass than Van Halen.

[DoctorRobertBobby]

classic song.

[xBillyTheKidx]

what did ian say? somethingsomething "apparently"

[unicornsarereal]

rule of order--go masterbate while listening to coldplay. fag.

looks like they're playing in mississppi nights...i miss that place

[cafiteriafood]

fuck you forder, this music kicks!

[ruleoforder]

Simple music for simple minded people.

LOL. LONG LIVE IGNORANT SHEEP...

[buryyourdead81]

feel better now, guy? lol. get a life.

[edisacuntface]

isnt simply the best way to live?

[vaspers]

congratulations. today this video was selected by the NYC Punk Rock Evolution Foundation. way to go. love it very much!

[wontgetfooledagain1]

Ian MacKaye is actually a really good guitar player, huh? Would've loved to see these guys live, just another band that was before my time...:-( Still, great video!

Oh, and how come on every single Fugazi video we have to listen to all these douches trying to prove themselves by trying to define this band as "emo" or whatever. Emo=Emotional, and almost all music has emotion in it. By that definition, you could say that The fucking Beatles were emo! ;-D

[sunchild90]

@wontgetfooledagain1 we could, but we won't.

[redshaftedflicker]

Guy & Ian being fuckin' preachers always ruins a great time.

[mirf59]

Which part of the song is preachy? It's a very affirmative song, very positive. Maybe you are confusing this song with something else.

[rosco73]

Saw them around the same time in Ann Arbor at the University of Michigan union. Sat on the front of the stage a foot in front of Joe Lally the whole show. blew my 17year old mind!!!

saw them in Kalamazoo,Pontiac,State theatre in Detroit and once in L.A. when I visited my buddy.

greatest pure live rock band, period.

[SomeKindOfBand]

I've noticed I can't stop looking at the movements Picciotto makes on the music it's great to see.

[ChonnyChimole]

ROCK and ROLL baby.

[BrettInSeries]

Dude! This is awesome! What venue was this at?

[sutcliff]

I believe that was the old Bernard's Pub. Not the current one which is on the STL Landing.

[MarkR00ney]

FUGAZI GENRE BLAH BLAH BLAH

Shut the hell up and watch the video. Nobody cares about your internet war.

[Lugak14]

Foxboro Hot tubs is self released and pinhead gunpowder just played the gilman. Billie and green day are trying to un-sell out.

[ridintheconcretewave]

there's no return from 86

[timothyxmcveigh]

Please no green day lyrics on the fugazi video lol.

[Harveyz01]

back then emo wasn't bad fuckers

emo is this, not some pussy bands like Panic and FoB

RoS were more emo

fugaazi were punk pioneers mostly

green day and blink 182 were bands that were influenced

[zeststev]

what a fucking expert

[timothyzha]

thanks for informing us all! you got it all figured out.

[fosenteskotia]

Nobody used the word emo before you were born.

[ilike999999999]

alright guys whatever u wanna say about fugazi's genre they are the definition of alternative rock and have had teh biggest impact on alternative rock of any other band except POSSIBLY Rites of Spring and if you don't agree with me just research Jimmy Eat World or Sunny Day Real Estate or damn maybe even Weezer check their influences

[PlanB198]

fugazi is so much more then hardcore.... they're funky as hell and are creative they dont just scream and shit their music is ultra creative....i dont like hardcore grindcore or any metal for that matter but like i said fugazi is so much more than just hardcore and always stuck to their guns and never sold out

[shatteredxfaith]

they arent emo. they never sold out, wont make band merch, wont give interviews in magazines that advertise beer or ciggerettes because they are straight edge, print the price of their cds on the cds so stores cant change it, play all their shows for like 5 bucks, and they have ian mckay, if thats not punk what is?

and besides emo back then and stupid emo now is much different.

either way they are awesome, if you dont like them why watch the vid?

[porchfilmgroup]

IAWTC!

[snarkywonton]

Well said!

[xxangelspitxx]

Is there seriously an arguement going on about Fugazis genre?

Who gives a FUCK man?

Fugazi is a great band. that's all that should matter.

[Killkec]

Fugazi and Rites of Spring are LEGENDS!!!! starters of Hardcore and modern EMO aswell ;)

I FUCKING HATE HARDCORE!!!!! :D but Fugazis still rox :D

[brandon66677]

FUCK EMO

[marquee6]

Ws that at Bernards Pub?

[KEEPONBRIAN]

Wow, I live 2 hours away from where this happened. Too bad I was 12 at the time and wouldn't find out about them and Minor Threat until I was 18. At least I did. Great clip. Fugazi came to my town in '94 I think. My friend told me that they had to stop playing several times and cut the show early because frat boys thought the point of the show was to start fights. Oh how many $40 concerts I would turn in for one $10 Fugazi show!

[cflm76]

thank you for sharing this man, really made me remember those days

[ritesofspr]

I am locking down comments on my videos guys. I spend more time deleted "Great site but check this site out HOTBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH" than I do reading real comments. I hate to censor, and I won't as long as it's on topic, but these comment flooders need to be stopped.

[Maxzilla33]

yeah its too bad that i learned about fugazi 2 months ago i love them! now its too late that theyre on hiatus for like 6 years now if only i was alive when this band was around now there is no such thing as GOOD music it seems like im the only kid in the world whos heard of fugazi and other good bands

[aminor198620]

ticket to a fugazi show........... 10 dollars

copy of thirteen songs............ 13 dollars

Greenday wrote waiting room.......priceless

[rollopuente69]

green day is a fuckin bullshit! fugazi rlz!!

[Maxzilla33]

amen!!!! FOOGAZI!

[roachcoach]

oh green day would never be able to play this at all

[cunninghamx]

fugazi are an emo version of greenday

[Radioheading]

Green day represents the misery that punk became since the midle 90's. MTV bullshit punk. no more atittude bands like bad brains minor threat, black flag, DK, Husker du, Minutemen or Descendents.

[SeasofCheeze]

old green day (before american idiot) was pretty good. them along with offspring fitted well in the 90s. theyre 90s punk bands (except green day - they lost their privlages in being called punk: american idiot = sell out!)

[darkbluesoul]

Dude, they sold out with dookie, well, sold out to punk that is. banned from Gilman st with that record going major. Then they changed genres again when they made Idiot. By the way, selling out means they just changed scenes and left it behind, but man, they still are a great band, just not street. I respect their performance, their songwriting, all that, they're just not punk, and werent since they made dookie.

[INDESTRUKTIBLE502]

where they really banned from Gilman st ??? haha that gotta hurt, maybe not so much since they have money instead.

How do you know that, xcuse me i'm just very curious and would like to see GD out of Gilman

[sandiegorickk]

thats the stupidest thing i've heard all day.

[rigneyclan]

anyone who thinks Fugazi is emo obviously has a few loose screws...

[Killkec]

Fugazi in modern emo starter band ;) they started with Hardcore and modern emo is hardcore... so theyare emo band now ;)

Have Fun ;)

[Krait99]

I always wondered if the Elmos out there understood what putting the black "X" on the hands and the term "sXe" means.

[kopper]

This was '89, not '88. I was there!

[LostInAnEmptyMind]

Right cunning, it was first performed by Greenday all right. Maybe that's why this video of "Waiting Room" was filmed a year before Greenday was even formed. I would really like to know how Greenday could've possibly performed this before Fugazi when Greenday wasn't even around during this time.

[cunninghamx]

this song was first performed by greenday

[panrick]

Actually Fugazi is not really a band, and this footage is from the future. This show happens in 2048. Greenday were also ghostwriters for Beethoven, Joy Division, Tiffany and Brian Eno.

[knitaclaw]

haha.

[gradygirll9997]

i am sure that you have gotten a lot of crap for your comment but i must add and say you must be very young. greenday is pretty standard stuff, explore the world my man - hopefully you will come across minutemen, badbrains and FUGAZZZI!! God i love music

[frusstasi]

come on man. r u trying 2 get attention or r u juz that stupid??? Stop humiliating yourself...

[cunninghamx]

copies greenday

[FuzzyCabesas]

What the fuck? Ha,Ha,Ha! You're lame.

[ritesofspr]

hey guys, i need help. my cd's are packed away and i need to identify a fugazi song to post. it's the song where joe sings off of 'end hits.' let me know please so i can post. thanks, rites

[wankyspanky]

Awesome...

[Aquarianbrass]

In 88', I was 8 years old and playing with G.I. Joes. Five years later I was doing kickflips and stealing my sisters Fugazi tapes. It's hard to believe these guys have been around so long. It almost feels like a band doesn't exist till' you personally discover them for yourself.

[123adrianman123]

thats exactly what happend to me

[guccioni2000]

good show ;-) understatement :-D

[bacilusxxx]

TY VOLE ONI BYLI V PRAZE?!!! loool awesome

[lubinkous]

Walked out of their Prague show with sweat pouring of my shoes:) Good ol' memories.

[gabysalter]

Fucking amazing...

[nahuexxx]

they fuckin rules

[davedirt01]

Where in St. Louis was this?

[soulback]

Bernards Pub. It was a great show.

[davedirt01]

Wow. I remember that place. Should have figured that's where it was. I only played there a couple of times before it closed.

[twotonearmy22]

i read an interview with Guy about the whole dancing thing. he said that in the first year or so, when Guy wasn't playing guitar yet, they were pretty okay with dudes just dancing and jumping around and being onstage. when they got more serious they stopped doing that, and realized that they just weren't into the whole toughguy dancing thing.

[Mars13]

baby-makin music, that's what that is...

[phpordie]

Fugazi is fucking awesome

[lovedrug13]

I use to go go dance to this song! hahaha. Great to shake your rump to it! I danced in a cage 25 feet above a crowd! Not my fave fugazi song either, but still a good one!

[Krait99]

Only band I've seen not afraid of their fans.

[sitnspin]

I'm surprised to see how casual they were about stagediving and guys running into them and shit. Any time I saw them, that would have brought the song to a halt -- oh no, wait. I just got to the end, and that was probably Guy's first warning to the crowd of the night.

[mohollywood]

everyone grows, some up, some out, some just tire of it all. i love the fact they STILL perform, they still give 100% today, just like '98 or '88, etc...

[sitnspin]

Except they DON'T still perform. They've been on "extended hiatus" for a few years. They live in different cities, they're busy with other projects, etc. They've never stated their intention to break up, but there don't seem to be any plans to play together in the near future, either.

[LamTangGar]

yeah i can't beleive that man, there was a pit going for a little bit in the beginning, never heard of a pit being allowed at a friggin Fugazi show

[Ralph85]

not the best song they have, but it's the most fun live :D
