Jawbreaker 12 With Or Without U2 11-4-1989 Downtown Beirut N

Jawbreaker playing "With Or Without U2" live at Downtown Beirut in New York, NY on 11/4/1989. This song was rarely performed live, it's a medley of "With Or Without You" by U2, "Skulls" by the Misfits, and "Turning Japanese" by the Vapors, and was recorded for their split with Jawbox. This is the earliest recorded performance of the band to surface, video or audio! I've kept all the between song banter and whatnot so that you can view the whole show if you'd like, although there are a lot of cuts in the footage thanks to the cameraman.

This is part 11 of 12.

[boywithstars]

Nope, that was a studio version that was on that record. It was on the Jawbox split before that.

whoa! blake a little overweight and just out of highschool---- thanks for this video, was this just before Äunfun' game out?

[boywithstars]

Yeah, Unfun came out not too long after this, it was probably all recorded by this point. Busy, had probably JUST come out.

[myassishaunted]

ha, chris sharing the mic.

[xburnxthexrichx]

It's a shame the only venue really left in NYC now is ABC's

[papstjevah]

yeah I remember buying unfun, it blew me completely away. sat at home and wondered what it would take for soemone to write a song like imaginary war. the busy 7" (i thought ) was a little overrated. still better than ANYTHING the guys have done ever since they split
