Rollins Band @ Mississipi Nights 1987

[shawntoh]

This is Rollins at his best, especially at 2:05 to 2:32--I mean, who could top this type of performance?

Who could sound so passionate about being at the desperate edge of life and refuse to fall over?

Not even Rollins probably after this point, though I still highly respect him.

Thanks for posting this!

This was as close as they got to Black Flag sound-wise, which makes sense since it was a year after Black Flag broke up.

They were not touring under Rollins Band yet at this point. Just Henry Rollins. I saw this gig in Philly. Club Pizzaz. The coolest.

I was fortunate to see this lineup once before Melvin joined. This is RB at their zenith. It was the ultimate exercise in perseverance after the collapse of Black Flag. Rollins came on strong with that lineup and brought the house down night after hammering night. You had to see it live, the only way to know for sure.

Thanks again Vyk, your stuff rocks. Saw Rollins in Philly at club Pizazz back then, was so rad, and the upstairs club so intimate. I'll never forget it.

At least Hank wore longer shorts not too long afterwards.

Rippin' song.

@ManilaSyndicate he liked the long ones cut with shorties underneath for awhile!

I love their "Ex-Lion Tamer" cover.
