Phenomenal performance by Bad Brains, it's hard to come across such energy. Apparently Ian MacKaye, of Minor Threat fame, is in the audience, but it's hard to make him out. Watch for the moves by H.R. and those on stage from around 1:10 to 1:20 - it looks almost choreographed, and it is in a sense a modern dance. (Pere Ubu reference, anybody?) I also like the women in the red shirt sitting on the stage to the left, who seems to somehow know all the words to all the songs. I'm not sure if she actually knows the words or she knows the sounds coming out of his mouth - I guess it depends on whether or not their eponymous debut, also released in 1982, had already come out before this concert, and whether it came with a lyrics sheet.
