Whoever said 2 on the Town is correct. Don't know the original air date, but the show most of this footage was shot at was Jan. 7th (Wed.) 1981 at the Starwood. Black Flag, Adolescents, and China White. BF also played the night before at the same club with Middle Class and Social Distortion.

damn its too bad the very beginning of this video is missing, it shows the adolescents and footage of them from back in the day is rare.

Reminds me of a young and clean shaven Garcia.

In 1968, when I was 5 years old, the police were harrassing the hippies. This took place in venice, CA.

I'm confident that much - if not all - of the concert footage used here was shot at the STARWOOD on the 6th and/or 7th of January of that year. Also, it's almost certainly a "2 On The Town" piece: Steve Edwards can be seen in multiple segments!

Jan 2 '81 its from LA tv show Eye on LA

Regarding the date of this piece, specifically it's from 1981: the concert footage is culled from a BLACK FLAG show when the then-notorious band played the Starwood
during the first week of that new year.

And the police keep on harassing. Because we didn't sit still like the hippies do at their concerts.
The police, when they are not investigating an actual reported crime, are all about government control. That is not what America is supposed to be about (freedom of assembly, freedom to redress grievances against the government, freedom of speech and expression are our rights). There is not earthly reason for armed police to invade a musical performance and attack American citizens for doing what they want.
If you think that is funny or unrealistic, read a history book.
