Husker Du - Patio, Indianapolis 21 Jun 1985 - Part One

[gabbagabba64]

How come no one in the audience is going completely apeshit? I saw them in Philadelphia 3X during this era. No one stood still.

[beelzabubba]

Girl on Heaven Hill kicks ass.

[weezadam]

@beelzabubba word. My favorite Husker Du song. exemplifies rock and roll

[altroval]

Greg Norton (and his wife) own and run a restaurant in suburban Minneapolis.

Here's an interesting tidbit from the "About" section of the restaurant's web site:

"Geg Norton has spent the last 28 years in the restaurant business working with outstanding culinary teams throughout the region"

Obviously, that overlaps with most of his time playing with Husker Du.

[metal1313]

@altroval he also spent time in london working with top english tv chef Gary Rhodes

[fragilebeaster]

Thats Huskers at their best tho Bob Mould in those times was kinda half man half lager :P

[armybot9898]

it's awesome to see Norton slowly go nuts during New Day Rising. I had a link to this video on my myspace page because it's just so fucking dope!  YAAAAA--KILL IT HUSKERS!!! jesus, what a band.

[drhans1]

huskers jumping all over the stage, people in crowd dont even move their heads to the rythm :P strange to watch

[yasujirozu]

simply amazing!! stateside punk bands were, oh so much better the lame english counterparts. pure,unadoltorated HC.

[lstaton]

Excellent!

[dvschsa]

best band ever

[RATTTHEPUNK]

ha ha i love gregs moustache

[tony0000]

Good! I love it when HD's shows live up to the material.

[beelzabubba]

You rule, Punkydu

[FablesJonny]

your the daddy for posting this man nice one!!!!!! wish i coulda seen em live!! oh well theres still micheal jackson hahahahahahahahahha NOT!!!!!!

[goldbugnz]

Brilliant!!!!!!

[publanski]

Thanks for the video. I saw them 2 days later at the Cubby Bear in Chicago. I was only 18 so we had to the all-ages afternoon show. One of the best shows I've ever seen.

[tiptopdadddy]

I was 15. But I did get to play on that stage many times after I turned 21. Great band, one of my faves. Is this a Tony Philputt video???

[tradergoatee]

Yes it is

[ODDers]

so great. To think that I was just 12 and just a few miles away. Crazy. What a great performance. And that room isn't very large at all...raw energy for sure. I would have loved to be in there.

[willthebighead]

Bob rocks so hard in this gig...when he lifts the guitar up during GWLOHH

[wickscassidy]

dont worry about the music,hows gregs shorts,thats not funny

[jammasterjim81]

Such beautiful, searing music.

[pearana]

man, when I went to high school back in the mid eighties, I never even knew what these guys were all about. Not until last week did I get ZEN ARCADE and I feel like Ive been re-born musically (taste-wise).

Too bad it took 20 years to see what I was missing.

[jimtownresident]

They're like the most intense band of all time

[criminyjimjims]

I love the whole band, Husker Du is one of my all time favorites, but i think its true when i say Grant is working his ass off the hardest every show you can find on youtube

[woodoven]

any of the guitar players know what the hell bob does with his pinky in its not funny anymore? that weird harmonic pull off thing, it sounds like a whammy bar, at about 4 minutes in?

[wdrauch]

it looks (and sounds) like he does the same thing at 4:14.

[oetlul]

Can't really see, but it sounds like he's doing harmonics. Look for 'husker du guitar archive' on google. Some guy has a site where he explains moulds guitar style and where youll find all correct chords, of every album.

[elpozo]

greatest band ever! a million time better than today's shits

[Jules242]

If I could build a time machine, I would just live in this period and go to Husker Du shows.

[atlcowboy2536]

that was the best freaking club.....used to go there three times a week it's still there but goes by a different name now

[sibbo2]

Its just amazing seeing footage of the husks, black flag, big black etc. In the uk at the time it was hard enough just getting the records!!!!

Its got me digging out the olde vinyl!!!!

Heres to wasted youth!!!!

Sibbo2

[Ignatz999]

It's not Funny Anymore..one of the greatest songs ever written

[beelzabubba]

Great stuff... thanks for the post.

[chout]

Thanks for posting these...I can't remember if I have this one on tape.

[nofmonterey]

looks like he dropped it on the stage

[amptron67]

That's right... he threw it down on the stage... what a waste of a good cigarette, huh deadelectromix?

[deadelectromix]

There's no fucking way, did he just take that cigarette out of his mouth and start playing with it in his hand?

[djcvarme]

i have to ask you, is this a from a video that has been released ? i really would like to get my hands on this

[punkydu]

Nah, it's just a dodgy bootleg.

[pilotesseJ]

best of the best
