Fugazi - Waiting Room, Wilson Center, DC 1988
This video courtesy of Hyalf. He has a great blog kicking out there and you should all make a point to drive on by there and give some shout outs and check out some of the other great videos and bands he has featured over there...
As for this video, it speaks for itself. Waiting Room is single handedly the most important song in my life, if not for turning me onto Fugazi then for completely ovehauling the way I think about music in general. But enough of that crap...follow these guidelines:
1. Listen with good speakers or wear headphones or something, cuz the recording isnt that bad, but you cant hear shit on regular computer speakers.
2. Notice the guy at the back of the stage wearing a skirt and dancing his ass off.
3. Check out Ian with a full head of hair. ^_~
4. Count how many Who-isms Guy pulls off in the song. By "Who-isms" I mean pulling out some Roger Daltrey mic swings and some Pete Townsend windmills...Great stuff. Guy is always so animated.
5. While your watching, think about why shows arent like this anymore. What happened to the magic?
Okay, I just officially treaded into "Bitter Old Man" territory. Enjoy!

I aint 100%, but skirt boy looks a lot like Bobby from SoulSide
you may be right...thats pretty funny...
hes dancin up a storm though...haha!
This really brought back memories. Such enthousiasm, such devotion, the crowd was eating out of their hands; Awesome video! Thanks for sharing.
pretty sure this was the show they played with Soul Side, Verbal Assault and Rain Crow on 12/29/88. The first e.p was not yet available in record stores, but demo tapes had been going around of "ian's new band".
yeah. that's the right band lineup for this show. was really cold outside, and drippingly hot inside. this show was killer. man, rain crow was terrible if i remember right. still have a copy of that demo tape.
