Dag Nasty: All Ages Show

Band: Dag Nasty
CD: Field Day (1988)
Song: All Ages Show

This is without question one of the absolute best Dag Nasty songs, and it has one of the catchiest guitar riffs I've ever heard. Peter Cortner is singing on this one, not Dave Smalley. Field Day was evidently a controversial album, but this song is not one of the experimental tracks. I think everyone can enjoy this... regardless of age (yeah, I went there).

Lyrics From www.daghouse.com:

I understand you
you've got a problem
now understand me
it's your problem not mine
to find a reason, don't ask me
don't ask (anyone) for a reason to live your life
shake your head, left and right
like the old man who shows up here every night
what does he hear in this kind of music?
why don't you ask him?
find out what you need to know
all ages show
you haven't lived all there is to live
how old is old?
how old is old?
all ages show
I get the feeling that I've heard all this before
I spoke your words, I felt your feelings
but when I reached a dead end, I knew there was more
I guess I'm just too young to see it
but I've shorn* up some people
a little bit older
and they say the problems keep coming
but reasons to keep on trying keep growing
and they grow and they grow and they grow
all ages show
(* shorn = "slept with")

@thefortress12 @ironhelix73 it took me years to realize there were multiple versions of this song. I didn't njow about the 20 year version until I found this page a few months ago.

I can't believe I've been listening to this band for 23+ years with nothing but good memories...and it's gonna stay that way. Praise the Dag.

i met peter the singer hes nice

[thefortress12]

there's basically 3 versions of this song. The version on Field Day, the EP version which is the same track as the Field Day version only with different mixing, and the version on the 20 Years of Dischord box set, which is a completely different take. Awesome song, my favorite Dag track

[ALLEXXX321]
