Agnostic Front 1983 Earliest Footage A7 Psycho's N.Y.

This is the earliest known video of Agnostic Front I've ever seen.
The video starts out with 2 songs by early NYHC band the Psycho's,which features Roger(A.F.)on bass,also Jimmy Gestapo of Murphy's Law on vocals for the first song.Vinnie Stigma and a very young Todd Youth(A.F.,Warzone,Murphy's Law,Danzig) are going off on the dance floor.Jimmy Gestapo introduces the band and after a few minutes of tuning up,A.F. do United Blood,this is the birth of New York Hardcore!The line up of Agnostic Front is Vinne Stigma,Roger,Dave Jones(victim in pain) and Todd Youth.I spoke with Todd Youth about his time in A.F.,he told me he joined the band right before United Blood came out and was forced by his parents to quit the band(he was only 13 at the time)right before they recorded Victim In Pain,which would make this sometime in 1983.

Just an addition to my comment below. The excellent band Cause For Alarm also released their scorching e.p. in 1983. What a great time that was in the city for this wonderful music!!. It's something I, and certainly everyone else who was part of the scene, will never forget.

As one of the comments said this is great footage but 1983 is not the birth of NYC hardcore. Before that, Kraut, Heart Attack, Reagan Youth, The Mob, The Nihilistics, Even Worse and No Thanks had all played out, And in 1983, Urban Waste, Antidote, The Abused and Armed Citizens all issued vinyl, Not to mention The Bad Brains who played NYC as early as 1979 and settled there in 1981. I would say the city was a pretty amazing place for hardcore before 1983, wouldn't you?
