Thanks for posting this; it made me very nostalgic! Kim C. from Jawbox

[joesuburb]

And thank YOU for letting me document your band, do you still have the copy I sent you 10 years ago (on an old school VHS tape no less HAHA)?

[joesuburb]

It wasn't their last song ever performed live, just their last song performed live in DC.

Why are there no bands like this anymore?

I saw them open up the HFS Festival one year at RFK and they frigging killed! Everybody who didn't know who them was just standing there in awe.

I miss you Jawbox!

@kimcoletta Thank you for being part of an awesome band and giving me something to listen to when high school blew.

I was at this show, it may be noteworthy that Kim broke her bass guitar before they played this song. She had to borrow the back up bands bass so this could have been even heavier if that were possible, she was wailing on that bass until the damn thing broke on the very last night of their FYVSS tour. But all I can say is thanks for posting this, this was one of the greatest shows I've ever been to!

a band so ahead of their time, that if you told some young punk today that this was a new band just came out, s/he'd say, wow really cool and innovative and special. they were special. really took me back 17+ years... think about how influential this band was, yet how relatively unknown they are outside of the punk circle back then... thanks so much for posting this video. (must have been fun digitizing VHS tapes lol).

GREAT POST! :D

What else can be said? Thanks for sharing... now where's the rest of this show???

[zararity]

I want to see more of this show! AMAZING!

[rebusd]

then they should teach their kids to run cable and setup monitor mixes. There. I said it.

"Jawbox defined everything it was to live in the 90's"........perfect......they changed my life. Showed me something about how it was possible to communicate, to let down the barriers and put yourself out there.

Ratings disabled? Anyway Jawbox were great at this time, even if they did look like a restaurant staff. Jay, Kim and Bill are all servers, then you got Zack in the kitchen cooking up some bad ass drums.

One of my very favorite bands of all time. Period.
