Fugazi - Promises - Live - Washington DC 12-29-88

[ilmix]

Fugazi rocks!

But the one that rocks the most is the guy on the left with the purple shirt. Fuckin' sober headbanging!

[revcell]

I know the song because it was played on the radio every 5 minutes for the longest time. You would know all about what a homo would do because it takes one to know one. 3-)

[revcell]

Green day is what i like to call oatmeal punk rock, its what kids listen to after they eat their oatmeal in their nice worm middle class home.

Real punk is born in the streets from kids less fortunate. Kids with a true problem with the society we live in. FEAR, LA's wasted youth, True sound of liberty, Fugazi, DK, suicidal tendencies, sex pistols. listen to them and enjoy real punk rock and don't wake me up when September comes you homo.....

[poolpig]

@revcell LOL WHY DO U KNOW THE SONG IF ITS SO BAD? SOMEDAY A HOMO IS GONNA STOMP YOUR ASS BECAUSE IT AINT WORTH FUCKIN!

[WokMaster7000]

Well, why don't members of the well to do white audience simply take their black homeless neighbors into their own houses instead of begging the government to do it? Surely that it the simplest and most straightforward way to handle the problem. But playing music and criticising is somehow easier.

[AZAvsAZB]

@WokMaster7000 shut up

[MeaningCorrupted1]

@WokMaster7000 That's the dumbest statement I've ever read, hopefully that was sarcasm on your part. Government is there to help the downtrodden, correct? Do you think it's okay for veterans that are left with war-affected minds to sleep on the street, for anyone to sleep on the street, for that matter? I can read in to your statement of "black" homeless neighbors, that you're a "give nobody anything"... unless you need it. No government until the crimes at your door, right?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[citylims]

One of my absolute favorite Fugazi songs. Great vid

[liquidrunning]

Then why are you guys *not* as driven? I would say that I am, for sure.

[TallFastLoud]

Haha I love how even when Ian writes a personal song, he can't help but turn it into an anthem about homelessness. Some people are just driven, one of the few true heroes in music.

[planetacid]

together we will be forever

[gnamus]

everyone sucks balls

except these guys

[theivory1]

@gnamus Damn right.

[darkmagenta]

hahaha I was at this show too. Freaky. It's the only time I saw a band that gave out lyric sheets. I saw them a bunch of times back then, but I never remember Charlie being naked. I was taking money at the door, and missed a lot. They were a great band definately.

[f1i2s3c4h5e6r7]

This song is more powerful now that Guy plays guitar on it too.

[tayesaluda]

Where was this?? They seemed surrounded by people in a lot of their shows.

[gripper61]

d.c in 88. all their shows there where beautiful. everyone dancing together...on stage i feel lucky to have been there.

[deejay2257]

Fugazi rocks! They are my fav punkband alongside GreenDay and Offspring. But why does he lecture people at shows? People just want to rock! But this song sucks and is boring. But I still love real punkrock like WaitingRoom.

[smovlov]

green day and offspring alongside fugazi? youve got to be kidding me.

[theivory1]

@smovlov Your right, Offspring and Green Day are real punk, if your retarded.

[snackluv]

Real Punk Rock? What is real Punk Rock? Are Offspring and Green Day "REAL" Punk Rock? Your "Vote Republican" is equally moronic.

[IREALLYDONTCARE321]

at the beginning when ian's talking with the mike right at his chin, if you look at the mike like its a beard, his head looks alot like abe lincoln's

[65dragbug2180]

saw fugazi in 95, they played this at 1ST ave, come back to MPLS!

[Thommee]

Yeeah! MacKaye wasn't bald! :DD Great vid

[iowarver]

Anyone who ever got to hear this live is a lucky person.

[oddiooverplay]

Weren't we lucky to have the Wilson Center? Sad to walk past it today. Hey, what is the name of the fella dancing on stage on the right? Charlie? He was with Positive Force DC and often nude when dancing at shows. A real character. Thanks for sharing this.

[noisejamesnoise]

this is amazing, i thought they had pretty much exhausted all the early footage for instrument,

i love this band they shaped my life and ethics, props to the guy who put this up

[kimaste]

fugazi's best song!

[dekhnewaalaa]

A little out of tune, but hey, it's live! And the energy is there as always with Fugazi.

[emoedison]

This was the Wilson Center -- I was at this show and it was unbearably hot (as all Wilson Center shows were). The vibe during this song was really ugly. Too many college kids home from break in the audience, possibly.

[gianlucca]

it wanted to be in this concert! wonderful!
