Fugazi "Give Me the Cure" @Montgomery College April 9, 1988

[drugrocker]

great stuff. just misheard his quote at the start as "leprachauny bullshit". Think i will use that as a future song title

[MrShintoshi]

pure gold.

[frunkus88]

FUCKING AWESOME!!!

[jimmorrisonscorpse]

There is none other like Guy....

[BraincageAZ]

fugazi is amazing...

[childsfamilyvideos]

What is that thing flailing around on stage with them?

[DangetMusic]

oh god, do I love this band.

Their music is abrasive and meaningful at the same time, so amazing

[drylips1]

I didn't know this song was about aids, but it makes senses.

[gravityass]

I like guy piccioto's singing on studio versions of fugazi songs, but his singing at live shows bothers me. It seems like he's trying too hard. And I know that he would say that he's just being himself and doing what the music makes him feel like doing, but some of that stuff is just excessive. Falling all over the floor...just sing the song please.

[gripper61]

Don't know if you ever saw them live but I can tell you his "antics" were completely in tune with the energy going on at the show itself.

[theconnman9]

@gravityass to me there's nothing more important at a live show than seeing the band care about what they're doing and see that they are preforming. If I want to hear the music I'll listen to the CD, if I want to see a real show, I'll go to a concert. To me that's what's missing from modern shit and why bands like this were so cool.

[f1l173]

@gravityass apparently you've never seen dead boys frontman iggy pop jim morrison and the list goes on.....quite normal doing wierd shit like this on stage when you're a showman !

[sdmed619]

Guy has not seemed to change in 20 years...

[zippywaite]

singer kind of pisses me off

[PlushPink]

Great clip. Thanks for posting. I hope more folks with live footage start posting stuff like this.

[bearjere]

So is lead the one with the guitar or the brown shirt one?

[balohna]

haha... they both sang, and aside from their early years they both played guitar too.

[greendaymr]

WOW, <3

[mindscience]

it looks like a high school talent show because it's a community college. the other band on the bill that night was garage rockers the cynics. pretty rad show.

[peacefrog1312]

this is some weird lighting

it looks like a high school talent show

[chadfitzy]

whats ian saying at about 2:00? i can never understand it

[gripper61]

"it spreads it spreads it spreads." then ,"it's coming around, it's coming around, it's coming down."

[alfieyeah]

one of the best!

[Papryczka0507]

i would say, that's the best one:)

[Papryczka0507]

cool

[ritesofspr]

There's Charlie dancing stage right with his turkish bath towel, lol. Gotta love those days!

[dcxxxhc]

you're right! I still have his sans underwear look engrained in my head 20 years later. It was worth it though.

[ritesofspr]

I remember one of the early old 9:30 Fugazi shows, I was stage right and Charlie was right next to me. He started dancing and I was like "um, those are testicles flapping around and almost hitting me in the face, not cool" lol

[f1i2s3c4h5e6r7]

Charlie who?

[ritesofspr]

I don't remember his name, he was always at the shows back in the mid 80's. There's a picture of him in the State of the Union Compilation where they have picks of many different people and bands.

[culbreze51]

Moats?

[nickelbarse]

'this is a new song that we wrote.its about that subject,aids.a disease we''ll be faced with if we dont get our shit together and stop treating it like leper conolie bullshit''.

[kittastellar]

what the hell did he said? i don't speak english >.<!

[iamsheep]

awesome quality for 88! Thanks for posting. Too bad I only got into them now, their live shows always look intense.
