Im gonna play the CAN YOU TOP THIS game. Here we have one of the very greatest american punk groups fronted by THE greatest female punk singer ever singing one of the very greatest songs ever (punk or otherwise) If you listen to this song and arent amazed by its clarity and beauty you have missed a rare opportunity to be transported to another world. WHAT A SINGER AND WHAT A SONG!!!! THIS IS AN AMERICAN TREASURE So, rather than top this I should say HOW can you top this??
@willieluncheonette When they play it live; or rather, seeing them play it live. Saw them over a week ago, the most exciting show I have ever seen. Greg Ingraham right in front of me, playing direct TO me the riffs I have heard and loved for so many years. It was simply unbelievable and unforgettable. When he went into this, the third song, I put my arms outstretched, in pure joy and disbelief of its magnificence, what I was hearing. It was even better live!
@IGotARight Thanks. I don't usually get jealous but I have to tell you I'm a little jealous hearing your story. I try to stay away from reformed groups concerts because I don.t want to be badly disappointed. I mean they originally had youthful energy which is so intoxicating to hear.Great to hear they sounded so good. Maybe you'd know the answer to this. On utube there's a version of their song The American In Me I've never heard before with my comments. Do you know the source of this version?
@willieluncheonette Hi, yes I just found it, it's on the CD "The American In Me" on DBK Works from 2004.
Thank you and BTW hopefully you'll get a chance to see them as they're gonna reissue the "pink album" this year on their own as they got ripped off through CD Presents.
Yeah I didn't know how much to expect, & was told *right* before they went on by my friend Mike that they had a young, tight rhythm section, so...
@IGotARight Thanks for your help. I sort of thought it might be that cd cause it listed 2 versions of song from 2 different dates. Now I'll have to buy cd which might be hard. 1 listed very expensive, other from ugh Italy with all its postal problems. Hope the Avengers do it right, on vinyl from the master tapes all analogue mastering. It will sound great like this. Just bought a 1st pressing of the album but haven't compared it to blue vinyl pressing. This GREAT album deserves a GREAT reissue.
@willieluncheonette I agree! You're very welcome! There's some copies on Amazon cheap when I looked earlier today, under 20. Yes I'm sure they will do it right I had the first pressing with lyric booklet, when reissued they left out a couple songs in the booklet! I had the blue vinyl didn't notice any sound difference; I actually had the cover 1st after stopping by the CD Presents plant once, I had an uncut mockup of the pink one with different tint, wish I still did. Cheers!
@IGotARight I had a very similar experience but with Billy Zoom of X! they headlined, avengers opened, and dks were in the middle (at MOCA a few weeks ago) it was incredible!
Oh please save me! I love it! And nothing more!
