[SK8KRE8R]

[norcalshan]

badass...



[wiigoldlion]

it's like i'm back in jr. high . nice . drink beer . ya.

[Cahva]

what the fuck happened to them, best hardcore band in the world....turned metal

[marcusguernsey]

@Cahva : i hear you on this,but i would call this era thrash before i would hardcore.still punk as fuk,and i will always love it.i like some of their "crossover" stuff aswell,but hey thisis my roots,and i m punk 4 life.so the metalheads can take it or leave it.i dont really care.but this stuff is TRULY CLASSIC

[fletcher70]

fuck the system they cant have me....i dont need society

[eightmileshigh83]

EXTREME MUSIC are born with these guys...PURE FUCKING HARDCORE!!!

[sarualf]

Texas!!

[endersshadowa]

Incredible film and audio for 1983. IM only on my phone and this is insane. Great to see footage their hardcore days.

[clockwolf]

This is unbelievable footage!!

[geneilsonmaraba]

D.R.I. CLÁSSICO!

[SuperSerpico1966]

One two three four... hell!

[MrFabiodagostino]

great!



[Hughesy16LFC]

Lol Hardcore Punk vocalists are crazy

[informationplz]

WHO AM I? D.R.I. !!

[misumi75]

great bands!the real old hardcore from 80's..

[mrputo27]

LOL at 2:13 it looks like the guy in the flannel kicked the other dude into the stage.

[dosie1968]

they, fucking, cant have meeeeeeee

[13elloca13]

Still the Best

[asdfasdfasdfasfdsghf]

in the dictionary the definition of "epic" is (early) DRI

[misfits765]

@asdfasdfasdfasfdsghf i agree dude. what about there later stuff? you like it? i wish they would of stayed like this honestly

[bonzimurdok]

WHAT THE FUCK? WHY ARE THERE ARE GUYS STANDING STILL!!?? HOW DO THEY EVEN DO THAT!?

[MetalJames1282]

hell yeah!

[pjbogart]

Don't tell me that punk rockers are idiots. DRI released "Reaganomics" (are killing me) 30 years before we really had a chance to witness the failures of supply side economics. Now we're all grown up and wise and we've finally come to terms with what some punk kids in Texas were screaming about in the mid-1980's.

[Eisenvater66]

Why Not.....

[attilathefun1]

oh this is nice. 8 fucks need their heads examined.

[graphicsdump]

i don't need society!!

[kramb]

an entertainment extravaganza. all it needed was costume changes. thumbs up. reaganomics good for me, that was for sure.

[Jozen890]

This is some memorable stuff here!

[Maje9]

it's hopless...lol

[Dajcynk]

Dobrze drze morde. Świetny zespoł

[ZobaK1]

fucking goooood!

[ihateniggers98100]

Back when there were true punks,now we have little posers and rappers taking our fashion.Leather jackets and mohawks only look good on punks and metalheads,fuck posers.

[MLGRegulaR]

@ihateniggers98100 fuck the fashion man, it don't mean shit.

[marcoFOAD]

awesome recording!! thanks for sharing!

[gregordziadek]

I've seen them tonight, they are amazing as always

[watulu1]

wow brings back child hood memories......esp commuture man

[awaxakins]

if you cant say it in under 90 seconds its not hardcore

[sha12md]

Who uploaded this!? Bloody rare stuff! Nv imagined i cld find DRI vid here, LOVE THIS!

[snoristerlison]

my friend kept showing me later dri and i wasnt a fan but this totally redeems them



[misanthropicagenda1]

oh my god

:(

i had the spice girls lulz

[sxepunk336]

@misanthropicagenda1 and we've got Municipal Waste

[benj8706]

on of the best frontmen ever hes like fuckin dynamite

[southofheaven88]

FUCKING GREATNESS !!!!!!!!!!!!!



[TheDankjr]

looks like the farm in san fran ca. saw a lot of bands at the farm d.r.i c.o.c exodus

but i think d.r.i was the best show dam this was back in 84 ,85 and still kicks ass

[MrNito414]

They rule!

[misfits765]

i dont need society...

[jerryskid1]

The crowd is so in awe with D.R.I.'s brilliance that they can't move. Stay still.....don't move.

[misfits765]

@jerryskid1 yeah! ever noticed in these kind of shows the ones in the back are always the non movers?

[NorthcountyD]

They changed hardcore forever. Rocket speed songs....awesome. I saw them a few times before they did the "metal" thing in the 80's, definitely one of the better bands of that era.

[boomboomdj]

Back in the days when music meant something. D.R.I. still kicks all modern HC bands in the balls.

[lemonite1]

Hmmm... I kinda forgot how good this band was.Glad I ran across this video, thanks for posting.

[BarrioPunkRock]

the greatest invention ever would be the time machine. we need it , when is it coming?!?

[weightlifterf2]

Brilliant ...

[misfits765]

what the hell is up with the crowd? if i was there id be going nuts

[TheWanderingPrimate]

WOw.. This is really good quality for the age. It makes me wish I could shove through the crowd of head silhouettes and be there!

[buddhafish69]

COUCH SLOUCH!!!!! YOU SUCK!!

[TMBSlive]

Sheer brutal killing power, so glad I found this video. Thanks for posting dude. Somebody kick those 8 couch slouches of the web. thx :p

[sjconvulse]

probably one of the best vids on youtube. d.r.i. rips

[coughslurp]

This music isn't wasted on shit. This music is forever.

[2000jago]

The pure genius of this music is wasted on the hip-hop generation. Thank GOD I lived though the 80's! Music's been going downhill ever since.

[crazysheep63]

the 8 dis-likes need to get in the pit at a real D.R.I show..xD

[manoleteh2]

i have this DVD!!... nice--

[ploober33]

DRI, Making me hate society 27 years later.

[JohnECocaine]

FUCKING GREAT, I FEEL LIKE IM 14 AGAIN!

[joannazombie]

DIRTY ROTTEN LP 1983

[The67indian]

Wow. I had nearly forgotten how good these guys were.

[MunicipalDude]

Badass!!!!!!!

[dork432]

I like this. I don't want to disturb the 666 likes.

[hayousuckhaha]

its funny...there are 666 likes....no one else should like...lol...that is sick...if u like...then go to the comments and type..."I like this"

[HenriqueLopes23]

Fucking AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!

[kevagonia]

this stuff made mommies scared and skaters very happy in 1984

[martinvaart]

Fucking awesome......see you in Rotterdamn guys !!

[twood43]

This earliest DRI is the best. Some thrashbands got metal (part of what was called crossover in the 80's) and lost their aggressive raw power (for me anyway). Early Corrosion of Conformity was the same. These songs come close to early Bad Brains in intensity. Also some of the fastest vocals of any band.

[slayerkills1]

what was the name of the song at 1:35

[OldMoonStomper69]

Man! what was it?21 songs? DRI? Fuck man! That was the first album I had and it was the fucking shit man.! and Fuck you if u think different!!!!!

[ThingNation]

this band was so much better pre metal thrash zone bullshit

[kevagonia]

@ThingNation well, yeah!

[FilthyBadges]

Absolutely fucking apeshit !

[rollo131]

I think they dubbed over this video. No way the audio quality could have been this good on a bootleg tape from 1984. Also, the band's movements don't quite sync up at certain parts

[MrNickthedick28]

cant wait to see them in hollywood on the 15th

[therejectedlive]

d.r.i. changed my life, and this is the oldest footage ive ever seen, thanks for the post!! Amzing footage & SOUND!

[therejectedlive]

d.r.i. changed my life, and this is the oldest footage ive ever seen, thanks for the post!!

[pjbogart]

I'm amazed at the quality of video and sound here. Not much classic punk left of this quality. I think it really illustrates what a lot of people don't know about punk rock: it wasn't about mohawks, heroine addicts or skinheads. It was raw energy and emotion. The guys looked more like your math teacher than social misfits and the folks in the audience went on to become dentists and lawyers.

Because it's what you least expected...

[jlbroich]

Where was this at? Cbgbs? I'm looking for this DVD.

[goretrade1234]

i think this is out on dvd

[Maje9]

AWESOME!!!

only thing I hate is that it ends.....

[marcusguernsey]

6 dislikes need to gather together @ ground Zero and wait for obama to press the button

[RedwoodRydah]

@marcusguernsey 8 of them pussies now bruh

[lester5192]

i was at that show and got aids from moshing. lots of blood everywhere.

[pullbackbaby]

Smart guy in the back clapping. Jeez.. 2 years later.. Who headlined this? Cro-Mags, Murphy's Law, President Reagan? Were there free sedatives at the door?

[mega1metalhead]

this song makes me mosh so freakin hard!

[pullbackbaby]

@mega1metalhead - "these songs" imo

[vmart71]

I grew up in the late 80's, I listened to DRI everyday back in highschool. In the mid 90's my punk band, Jedi Mind Trick, opened up for DRI on the Full Speed Ahead Tour, Corpus Chisti TX. One of the best days of the good ole days.

[sweetnesspunx]

do they have a website to see when this band is on tour

[LuisBlythe666]

this video is legendary

the fuckin intro make me shiver!!!

lml D.R.I. rules!!

[watroe]

@toxicwaltz89 lucky man i have to wait till Feb till they come to San Antonio.

[KennyMassey]

hey punks check out my bands demo here /watch?v=EmKmmivyhnU

[watroe]

i'm a 15 year old in high school & every single time i wear my DRI shirt some asshole always asks me, "what does DRI stand for?"... ASS.

[toxicwaltz89]

@watroe

yah same here man. im 15 also.

[Skates2Much1]

this 4 minuets and 40 seconds was the best 4 minuets and 40 seconds of my life!

[adgaliff]

@Skates2Much1 what about the sex with your girl last night.

lol sorry man couldn't resist. hahaha

[Skates2Much1]

@adgaliff im 13. hahaha

[scotth602]

That was great!!!!

[myhoe90]

6 people Suck at life

[Smoerbyttan]

@myhoe90 No... 6 people have jobs.

[kjax666]

why the fuck is no one moving?!

[BLACKS4BBB]

@kjax666 they are you can just barely see the pit. look closely

[homicidelab]

goddamn this brings back fucking memories...dri fucking rocks...

[dorkbootie]

just saw them on saturday. they havn't changed at all

[koopatroopa187]

I never understood how people can go to a show and just stand there. What's the point?

[Kingfillins]

@koopatroopa187 Look closely at the darkness in front, it is a seething mass... people are stage diving and going crazy... the camera angle is just isnt capturing the riot...

Excellent sound, must be strait off the desk..., so much better than most of the old footage from this era.... Cheers

[ledzepoholic]

I fucking love dri. That was some prime shit right there.

[leftwrist1]

shit..these guys were better than i remembered

[TheLrodarte]

DRI is amazing! theyve always been! and will always be!!

[misskill3r]

woah. dude. his hair is like...short. and they sound less thrash. WOAH!

[MrEddieLarge]

Nostalgia is not a good thing.... i may have broken an ankle trying to skate the stairs on an ironing board :(

[fuckyourudey]

Numbers up, you have to go! SYSTEM SAYS I TOLD YOU SO! Haha! I love this band! REAL PUNK!

[25zero1]

And this boys, and girls; ladies and gents is the birth of thrash.

[jaydischord]

@25zero1 Yep....

[chrisheid31]

its the same story as a lot of hardcore bands back then SSD tried to be a hair metal band at least DRI kept some punk feeling behind it one of the most underrated bands ever

[rollo131]

@chrisheid31 SSD went from being one of the very best punk bands to being possibly the worst band of all time after they changed their style to metal. God they were awful.

[Buzzeeee]

OLD DRI shows went off, seriously rad live band

[fx1967]

DRI are the best American live punk rock band in the land. The only band even close was the Ramones...dring the speed drummer years!!! Spike is th emost underrated rock guitarist without exception.

[punkrockplatypus]

man this was so good. why did they have to puss out for thrashzone and everything after.

[oldschoolpunkchris1]

i like dri crossover but wish they stayed hardcore

[xlakersfan32x]

wow look at how they look in 1989, what a change

[Devan223]

I'm seein then oct 1 at peabodys

[LordGanon69]

Gonna see them again on Sep 25. It's gonna be fucking sick!

[RedHarleyRider1]

@LordGanon69 Chain Reaction will be going off that night.

[LordGanon69]

@RedHarleyRider1 Fuck yeah dude. That shit was fucking sick!.. Moshed like fucking crazy when they played Thrashard. The band before DRI that covered Cyco Vision by ST was also pretty sick!

[7697celeste]

@LordGanon69 I'm going to see them tomorrow :)

[7697celeste]

@LordGanon69 i'm going to see them tomorrow!!!!

[SparkySharp69]

@7697celeste Same!!!

[AwakePublius420]

I love it, dude they are so fucking sick live! I saw them during their definition tour. Very glad I got to see them and meet them they were at the local headshop the day they were playing in El Paso TX. Cool guys and good show!

[XXAlexDaXX]

i see dri in live at august its fucking awesome :Q

[headfullufhell]

Where was this show?

[dirty30jr]

Saw em at the Edge in Vancouver during Expo 86

Mushrooms weren't working so bought so acid

Then the shrooms kicked in

Then the acid

Singer had 1/2 a beard

Believe I saw a dad trying to put a sweater on his daughter in the mosh then the resident bully skin trying to throttle him

was like a movie trailer

2 hours compressed into 2 minutes

good times!!!

[cycotrucha]

80's HARDCORE FOR LIFE!!!!!!

[blackhawkfan54]

I'll back the thought with SOD's united forces. Ya know? Dont hate is my feeling... we're all here- together- for a reason... no need to hate the new DRI- cheers...

[blackhawkfan54]

Dont want to turn this into a war and all about punk/metal. I like ALL DRI's catalog-start to finish.

PPL mentioned-the only other way to progress would be to slow down. My opinion- only other way to speed up was to go grindcore like ND.

As a musician- you want to round out your sound and not be pigeonholed. You dont want to be lableled as 1 style. You'd have to ask Kurt and Spike but that is why the change.

My feeling- go with 'tear it down' from crossover- that is what they would want.

[pitnufer]

Brilliant

[BigD1315666]

if your in AZ, and you would like to see D.R.I on sept 10th, please let me know, i got tickets for sale

[Jrdu1388]

thrashed on stage and dived to DRI...and have the tattoo to boot!!

[killjoy1973]

Five D.R.I. songs = half of a progressive rock song. Who's progressive now?

[n3b28]

even at such an early age, they rock!

[meltsydgf]

nothing more to say than this is fucking amazing

[TapiaBernie]

that was brutal

ficking amazing

[TheExtremearmand]

Punk´s and Metal Head´s united by DRI, hehe.

DRI is amazing!

[fmendezxxx]

This is when DRI was still a hardcore punk band, they went to shit after DEALING WITH IT...

[MarsHottentot]

Damn they were tight!

[losgritar]

sucios y rotosos imbeciles!!!

[oplopanux]

playing their hearts out, thanks

[SkullioN93]

punks and metalheads united ! xD

[xprotestorx]

Saw DRI in 1985 with COC. DRI played every song they had. It's still one of the greatest shows I've ever seen.

[totogonzaless]

dirty rotten imbeciles gran bandaaa, por no decir la mejor SALUDOS DESDE PERU

[Lazvon2]

I shit my shorts on that!! FUCK YEAH!!

[bizchazlien]

Early D.R.I. RULES!!! Man, this brings back some memories! Great stuff!

[bulgogi1212]

DRI's first 2 punk albums are much better than their later crossover shit. I like thrash, but it pales compared to this.

[Anearthworm]

@bulgogi1212 crossover shit??

[LGLG69]

I first heard D.R.I in 1984, and I was amazed at their raw power! One of my favorite HC bands.

[monkeykingrecords]

wow awesome! does this whole show exist somewhere?  where is this?

love that 80's DRI

[despairafterhope]

Anyone who was around then, and didn't see them live... kill yourself.

[ShaneJules]

Whoever the 5 people are who didn't like this, are fucking idiots.

[poserdisposer100]

@ShaneJules they're probably pussies! haha

[Tzsport]

I play pacman an I watch tv,

I'm so happy

cause it pleases me

...... 

[1973slimshady1973]

[stinkybigfootage]
