Legionaire's Disease- live in Houston, Tx 09/07/1979

[edfeltch]

The venue is Paradise Island under I-10.

[edfeltch]

Jerry wanted me to play bass around Nov.78.Instead I joined Guyana Boys Choir,Christian Arnheiter's band before The Hates.I loved Jerry but I wanted to play hardcore punk and Disease was kinda dated even then.I later formed Youth Korps in Connecticut.

I saw them in Houston way back then! Was hanging out with Derrick, Dave, Arden, Nick, Justin Sane ...! I have a New Wave Productions Legionaries Disease tshirt from back then. It is pale blue with the lead singers pic on it with a red scarf around his neck. It has "I'd rather see you dead" on the front!

Collectors item for sale on ebay. under 'band tshirts".

Gotta sell it, I don't need it,still have my pink plastic shorts, my leopard dress, my club SPIT card , I'm good

Who is NCM?

The old Paradise Island/Rock Island/The Island Club is gone. Demolished to the memories of history or something like that.

[Brewzerr]

Hahaha! One of the first things I remember about the scene in Houston when I started hanging out was all the Really Red VS. Legionaire's Disease shit. I see it's still a "thing". I loved 'em both. Apples and Oranges. The Degenerates were pretty good too.

[LenAura]

ah, you're right!  it was the "rather see you dead" comp. that which i don't have. i really liked "hypocrisy" from legionaire's disease.

[tooliscool23]

whered did all this underground stuff come from?

[theonlytruepunk]

I think someone had a video camera and recorded it...just a thought. Hahahahaha...

[bubbledumb]

The Vomit Pigs and The Huns were the best Texas punk bands.

[dreama1425]

Shitty video, but the band rocks. Don't think Jerry can sing good, but he writes real well!!!!

[toyranch]

Nothing wrong with Really Red or NCM at all, but the Disease was the best.

[toyranch]

Greatest punk band from Texas, ever.

[theonlytruepunk]

What about Really Red, or NCM??? 2 of my all time faves!

[LenAura]

didn' t really red do a cover of petula clark's "down town"? could have sworn that was on an lp of mine....

[Brewzerr]

Yes, Really Red covered the Petula Clark Downtown, but it was never released on anything other than a recently released comp. of old Houston bands called "Rather See You Dead: Houston Punk 1978-79" that also had the Disease and the Hates doing unreleased stuff.
