It seems like the market exists for a DVD release of live Huskers stuff, if somebody could put one together. The 'Mats, too.

Thanks for posting. This is fantastic.

There will be a DVD in the Mats rarities box set being released later this year, as for Husker Du nothing will happen until the band members can agree on how to reissue the albums, Makes No Sense (live at camden palace) is available in Australia on DVD and also now widley available in the uk but it's not their best performance and the sound is pretty awful, there is much better footage out there (plenty of it on youtube.)

i hope they reconcile and do that cause they aint getting any younger. bob said grants lawyer holds the estate for the du so maybe its on him, so sad nothing happens.

[jat13]

Well Greg and Grant share a lawyer so together they hold the lions share of the "Husker Du Estate." Bob is in a better financial position to do somthing about reissues though, i think this is where the dispute lyes, plus i heard bob wants to remix some of the albums where as the other two don't, personally i would be happy to see remixes and the original masters released.

When I heard Divide and Conquer on the radio in 1985 on a local college radio station I was driving in my car. Got a ticket on 128 from a Statey. Was doing a buck ten. When out and bought the record next day. Love that tune.

Thanks for posting this, it's been a long time since I saw this on my old VHS tape in the late 20th Century...

My favorite moment of their cover of Eight Miles High in this version is when Bob gives his trademark growl at 9:23, then goes into a intense state that looks cathartic in utter state of grace and then proceeds to finish the song by throttling his guitar and it's so disturbing that I guess they just had to pull the camera away!!!

@emannyc2002 maybe it means --- the govt's use of the word 'safety' is a big disguise. everything in the name of safety- rights taken away in the name of safety.

[emannyc2002]

what do they mean by 'safety is a big disguise" ? safety from what? is he invisioning a dystopic world like 1984 ... is that what he thinks the world is headed to ? (back when he wrote this) and how close are we to it ? i mean seriously. im pretty sure that today we are safe from gov't snatching us up..

[emannyc2002]

these guys F-ing ROOOOOOOOOOCKK!

[charlessale]

@jat13 I would loooove to hear a remastered reissue... Like, as much as I totally love their... well... 'shitty' sound (don't get me wrong, it sounds really cool but...), hearing those recordings in a better environment would be special.

[astroboirap]

the bass does sound a bit tinny lol

[eddieroot]

Grass and acid for a trip to the tour.

[theefishlippedone]
