[kevin652010]

Just checking in. This is how legends behave before they are legend. Fucked crazy

[kevin652010]

Ha! Max volume and headsets required! Classic, bro!

[kevin652010]

Always a pleasure. If I had even half his genius, I'd still be a nobody in the music world.

[kevin652010]

Ha! @shall 2707 glad you tuned in! Nothin from the pop charts will ever eclipse this hard core fuck me runnin shit! Getta life you Gaga freaks!!!

[kevin652010]

Fuckin awesome . This was me in our no name band, south of Market Street in SF. Whacked on speed. Nick Cave was one of our heroes. Iggy Pop was our American equivalent.

[CultofDeath69]

Historic Taping!

The Quality catches fine with the enegy of this brutal fine song!

Power at ist best, raw and delight

Never seen them live, it´s a pity

thx for uploading

[Shali2707]

As great as this is, it's not the same Birthday Party without Tracy Pew's throbbing bass. And that is one fuckin' lucky girl.

[btener11]

Awesome!!! I would give all 5 of my limbs to have seen this show!!!

[steveobie1]

Love it!...the grainy footage is perfect for sheer nastiness of the song...hot chick though!

[MrNgawng]

i woz there

[kevin652010]

Junk? Yard! Live! You stupid shits.

[kevin652010]

Whenever I drink too much, I rock this song. Apparently, I'm the only one. Ha! Love YouTube.

[Shali2707]

@kevin652010 I just found it. I get drunk and rock BP on a regular basis. Headsets and full volume required ;)

[kevin652010]

The swaggering brutality of this song still stuns me, today. You Aussies didn't know what you had, lovely drunken gits that you are.

[kevin652010]

White Boys 1 - Abbos 0

[kevin652010]

Back when Nick was just anotha punk !! How you sorry lot ever made a nation is beyond belief!!!

[kevin652010]

I love ACDC, but Nick Cave is The BADASS Ausie ever.

[kevin652010]

Nick the Stripper, Nick the Knife, Nick all you want , he changed my life. Saw him at a festival outside Stockholm once, in the late 90's, scared the shit out of those left-over Vikings. All the real men went to Vallhalah years ago, and the Swedish women will tell you so, after a few drinks. What's left is always the weak, the dregs. Oh, well..... I'd still rather be a warrior and dead, God knows, ..I have no idea why I'm alive. Dumb luck, is my only answer.

[ludella77]

nick cave BADASS!

I just arrived in Melbourne in February 1982, and I saw this live. I was flabbergasted. I saw another show the next day or 2 days later. I was hooked. What an entrance in a wild wild world, what Melbourne could be under that surface. Or must I say on that surface. Half way down ? Half way up. Hanging on that planet down under. Yeah...

[givacluck]

I went to see these live in 1982, and I've never quite recovered... Great vid.

[jemskibride]

Killer Bassist. Chris Walsh is the daddy ! Not enough Moodists on YouTube.

Any chance of getting some more of this gig on here Mick ?

[Ledtoogesabpistol70s]

this is a brilliant version, so crunched and raw. Brilliant band

[moonbaby77]

that chick totally wanted to do him.

[PrickMayall]

[pajutar]

Whenever I get frustrated with contemporary music or need an inspiration re-fuel, I return to The Birthday Party. Thank you! This is the best.

[mdent23]

[wandelvis]

So fucking powerful, make so much actually good music seem vapid and wafer thin by comparison

[youngmax]

Ah Wow! Straight off of Composite Signals.

I bought an original copy of that about 4 years ago(mainly for Plays with Marionettes-you should put that up!). I wish somebody could track down the "single shot" video collective who gone dun shotit! Did you ever meet them, Sir Mickster?
