The fact that Buck could hardly play guitar at the start has to be a myth judging by this. This is f**kin awesome. A sure sign of what was to come!

I have a pink LP "So Much Younger Then" recorded live in 1981. I wonder if it was at the same place - it doesn't say. Has an awesome version of "Body Count" (my fave on the LP) which is abit faster than this version.

Holy crap. I love this. Great Velvet Underground cover.

This recording sounds much better before it was transferred to crappy youtube mono...i just put a link to download the show on my main channel page if anyone wants it!
The poster showing the tour dates is awesome. I was at the show in Augusta. I believe it was the second time they played at NY,NY, a disco that had a "New Wave Night" and bands such as REM,Pylon, and the The Drastics came through town. I was under age and Jefferson Holt, REM's manager, let me use his ID to get in. "Rockville" took some getting used to when it appeared on vinyl a few years later and had a country feel. Of course, at that time, REM was the best band in America and I loved it all.
