Fugazi-1989-waiting room+repeater

[thedesiresymposium]

This was a cool show. They put "Gazebo Front" on the flyer so they were incognito. Lungfish played. I think it was the first time I saw Lungfish. Juliana Experience as well, and Fidelity Jones. Great times.

[gonchienelmundo]

girl with the camera, amy?

[FootieVideos]

is that guy?

he looks like Van Diesel

[1hardlook]

I think the dude behind the amp was Jack Black in the 80's

[Buddhist2k]

Brendan Canty is a phenomenal drummer!

[compaqyea]

was this recorded on a calculator

[LightOurFire]

@compaqyea ? 1989, good quality for the time

[johnnybrop]

@compaqyea yeah strange they couldnt afford a HD Camera in '89

[sedcontra]

How does this have anything to do with music?

[forry90]

was this filmed with a calculator?

[MarkusNemesis]

@forry90 No, it was filmed with an 80's camera. So, probably equivalent to a modern calculator.

[transparentdpd]

dancing is missing in rock these days

[Sirwastealot]

This is weird but i like it, unlike any music ive heard. Would it be fair to describe this as stream of consciousness music?

[sedcontra]

If I had been there to see this in person, I would have assumed it was a joke. How is this anything like music?

[jaredquince4life]

@sedcontra you poor soul

[singlemindimmersion]

@sedcontra seriously man, your a cunt

[Exsugarbabe1]

@sedcontra

[Exsugarbabe1]

Respond to this video... I Love this song. It's like a clever nursery rhyme, it sticks in my head. Not for everyone though. My son says it sounds like foxes mating!

[Exsugarbabe1]

@sedcontra 

[Bradc19]

0:07 dude behind the amp is definitely trippin!

[biscuits882]

@Bradc19

Tru Tru

[DEATHMONKEY2167]

@Bradc19 lol seriously! Watch him through out the video xD He just stares lol

[wweecwcollin]

never think id see someone play a rickenbacker in a hardcore/post-hardcore band 0_0

[southerngirls4fun]

I remember them in Georgetown at night .. I was high and drunk on my way to see front line assembly

[lollipola]

Woah - I almost thought this was a cover! Seriously didn't recognise Guy or Ian for the first 30 seconds. Haha, crazy.

[kegs95]

why doesnt he join minor threat with fugazi to make the unstoppable and, like a turtle taped to another turtle....fucking unstoppable.

[teshigawara102]

耳をツンザかれるようなギターの音

硬質かつ躍動感溢れるリズム隊

叫ぶ　イアン・マッケイ

素晴らしいバンドだ



[uckyoubuddy]

gold

[mackasaur]

Observe how Guy's hair is ACTUALLY SHORTER THAN IAN'S. That shit never happens. It's like seeing a unicorn goring bigfoot.

[captaincompost123]

Just a little too much feedback for my liking. But a decent gig.

[SHOEGAZEFAN73]

saw em this same year.amazing.period.

[smj6emailcom]

wow, glad they got out alive.

[FrankoFlesh]

The year I was born... I fucking love this band

[thelixir715]

@FrankoFlesh hear, hear!

[slowcarcrash2]

Fuck yes!!

[angelacevedo2112]

never herd that sound come from a rickenbacker guitar before shooking really

[jonnymayofigaro]

Sorry to be a negative Nelly but this sucks. Minor Threat was so great and this is just tripe, screaming over the same slow riff played over and over again. Borrrrring. I remember seeing one of their first shows after MT broke up; walked out after 5 or 6 songs shaking my head saying "OK, it's over". Look at these comments..."beautiful"..."awes­ome"....."honest"...an honest band?? Wtf does that even mean?

[sigma62]

@jonnymayofigaro Different people like different things. It happens.

[WestPhillyCat]

fucking wow

[batidodevomito]

Holy shit, what happens to guy's guitar? that noise... is beautiful

[ohfoolishworkerbee]

I love Guy as Flava Flav :)

[asdfasdf610]

Fuck yea guy!

[asdfasdf610]

Fucking awesome. Fu-fucking_gazi.

[starwarez73]

Repeater... KICKASS ALBUM... 

[patrickvdw1969]

[yabbazabba1234]

[SayAnythingDuckie]

I wanna rock out with those girls on the side of the stage :)

[deathbypowerglove]

I wait I wait I wait" has got to be one of the catchiest lyrics ever written.

[GiantStoneEater11]

Love the ancient cameras the front row fans have-- pre-digital

[DKforTheUSA]

this bass line is the shit. Minor Threat was crazy yo but this is awesome

[monkeygonetoheavensi]

two cunts disliked this....

[jaytv777]

[treeburning]

check treeburning if you like this band!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cryptorchild92]

Awww Man.... I want the "ting ting tingtingtingting" sound just after he says "repeater"!!....

[elipoop123]

gotta love D.C. 930 club is still successful, even if they play alotta shit nowadays.

[sonorpaiste702]

Guy Picciotto might not be the most technical player, but he certainly is one of the best guitarists to ever pick up the instrument.

[ShabadooWilkins]

I know it's old as hell material but ya gotta rehearse before you get out there. A junky mess. Who the hell applauds this stinky stink?

[extremelybusy123]

@ShabadooWilkins

I"ve never responded to a comment before... ever. But you are a royal fucktard for making that comment. It's supposed to be dirty and punked out you tool shed. keep practicing your blowjobby tech guitar riffs.

[monkeygonetoheavensi]

@ShabadooWilkins piece of shit...fuck off and die

[batterycock]

i was there!! i was one of the drumsticks.

[bonn1771]

amazing

[joed424]

whats the brand on guy's amp?

[stinkyloot138]

@joed424 its a Park, they were made by Marshall

[jdj106]

@DavidSanfordE lmoa!

[SuperCaroline38]

nook it i either do or i don't....hey anyway baby what up? nothing nice or way too sweet. c-mon. duryurs. csb

[Vehement78]

Anyone ever notice how Piccioto has that Bert from Sesame Street thing going on?

[AZAvsAZB]

@Vehement78 very much so hahahahahahaha

[RawwestHide]

This us the worst audio ever on video. Sounds like they played out of tin cans.

Cool video though.

[psnapplebee]

horrible shit

[tbzeee]

ian has more hair than guy! even bald, guy's a damn sexy man. those kids in the middle rock my world. i miss this band

[evanparker]

[ojoroto]

I don't know about you, but I love watching a huge band in an intimate space...how many people are in this concert.. ? Seems like a pretty small crowd.

[kolzol]

blag flag,fugazi,ratm,laibach,prank­rti,kolsonzlgn,tool,usyukuro,j­anesadi

oval,fennesz,ovdk&bunkdata,kin­o,aquarium,makryham,caetanovel­oso

[timothymstern]

[Ralelen]

Man this is an early show.

[ZRN959]

i thought Guy was Ian's clone here.

[simpsons2170]

guy's guitar was fucking up royally

[edisacuntface]

ian mackaye always reminded me of eeyore

[PieceofMindmusic]

[edisacuntface]

[PieceofMindmusic]

hahaha, but how so?

[edisacuntface]

no idea, he just does ha

[69TonyBig]

classic, may they always have a voice in this f%&£ked up world.

[kleenexliliput77]

beautiful years

[yankeehatinactor]

I've lived in DC for four years now, and I can't imagine anything this great ever happening in Dupont today.  Someone with more talent than me, please bring back the DC scene.

[PieceofMindmusic]

yeah man i live in DC for the first 8 years of life i was actually born the ear they shot this video was shot and i cant beleive they let this concert happen! DC is so uptight about that shit. i remeber taking the metro to dupont circle to go to school across town and man i never saw a songle band in all those years i was there.

[projectno5]

there are still some really good dc bands

some are on dischord (the aquarium) and some are unknown (impereal china)

[kingofnothing74]

still a lot of good bands coming out of DC and discord records. check out antelope

[BushidoBrown47]

Dude, if we could get another fest together like this in DC that would be amazing.

[QuadropheniaBrosef]

@yankeehatinactor ive lived here almost my entire life...nothing cool like this ever happens in DC. except for seeing ian or guy walking around :)

[thedesiresymposium]

The Lungfish show the previous day was absolutely fuckin amazing. Of course, there were like only 10 people into Lungfish there and the rest were homeless and curious yuppies just passing through. Post it if you have it!

[PressedClam]

I think fugazi would have been better without Guy Pinochio. I hated his singing and he danced gay

[boyleb1]

you are a fool

[ilike999999999]

fuck you

[ABFjake]

look at the kid next to Joe's face at 0:13.

roots of the scene haircut? lol

[ThatWikkidShit]

Haha, the kids in the background crack me up.

[peaeater1]

I take it you mean the two in the bright sweaters? Crack me up too, with the thumbs in the belt-loops like some 70's metal throwbacks. Bless them!!!

[ThatWikkidShit]

Yes. Haha.

[peaeater1]

I want to go back in time and buy them both Slush Puppies.

[ThatWikkidShit]

But, they may look dumb, but they are having fun I'm sure. To each his own, when it comes to the way we dress.

[peaeater1]

Believe me. I think they are GREAT!!!!!

The little blondie wins by a head....

[MBbackwards]

these songs are fucking awesome. Too bad i wasn't born yet hahahahahahahahhaah

[eliottelescorielese]

Too bad I would have been born two years later...

[adamcharney]

August in Washington DC...if Washingtonians can't have comfortable weather, they can at least have Fugazi, thank God! :)

[gripper61]

it was october, i believe, sir.

[adamcharney]

Yeah, I just realised that I had confused the month this video was posted with the month it was actually filmed. I realised that as soon as I hit the 'post comment' button. :p Still, I don't remember DC cooling off that much come October anyway. lol

[lightstays]

they formed me

[dovidov903]

fugazi are awesome, but they fucked up repeater on that one!

[ZoophPA]

And I get dissed for saying the same thing...

[havocmanfilms]

I love Fugazi, 3 of the greatest concerts that I have ever experienced.

[AkKrock]

So natural...

[johnneedslove]

Nicholas Brothers, coltrane, dylan, kraftwerk, beatles, ramones, dalai lama, warren buffett, need i go on. same shit different vehicle.

fugazi is probably teh most honest band i have ever experienced.

fucking hells word up!!!

[johnneedslove]

fugazi ...part of my inner inner life. permant fixture in me

like 85 in an elevator and someone humms 1-2-3...you'

ll go repeater. you know lol anyways...blahblkah

[gripper61]

o....and i was there.  sweet sweet memories.

[ImadouchebagNIlikeit]

nice video

[mc8lgm]

poor preformance.... poor sound :(

[ZoophPA]

Waiting room was decent.

revolver sounded like a litter of kittens in a garbage disposal...

For shame Ian.

For shame.

[gripper61]

Revolver? It's Repeater sir.

[warpig91]

You sir are an idiot

[adamcharney]

Revolver was an album by the Beatles. Go tell Paul McCartney how much you enjoyed Waiting Room though. I'm sure he'll be quite amused to hear that! haha

[ZoophPA]

Lemme know where you were in 1989 and maybe I'll be impressed. Repeater sounded like shit. Oh, and forgive me for being drunk.

[adamcharney]

In 1989 I was at the MVA in Rockville, Maryland getting my driving licence.

Oh and don't worry about being drunk on YouTube. Christ I do it all the time! lol

[pplus0440]

(fugazi is a straightedge band, and he's drunk. hes trying to insult people)

[scottkingofska]

thats a personal thing, not everyones choice, fuck i like to have a swally and a smoke. Dont mean im a bad person.

[lotusflower007]

I am telling the truth when I tell you Mckay got beer for me when I was 19....mister edge.

[gripper61]

i was at this show sir and it sounded like shit because, i believe, the quality of this person's recording equipment (remember, it was 1989). there is other footage of this show and it sounds fine (not so tinny), so...don't blame fugazi. check out "fugazi washington d.c." and you will see....

[ZoophPA]

Agreed.
