X- Los Angeles
Almost 30 years later and it still kicks ass. A true fucking classic.

Agreed. I've loved that band since I first saw The Decline Of Western Civilization back when I was either a freshman or sophmore in high school and
yet somehow it wasn't until last summer that I managed to see them on their 31st anniversary tour. I've heard stuff over the years about their shows
being either jaw-droppingly amazing or terrible and I hafta say that they floored me. Their set was almost entirely from the first few records and
they had just as much energy on stage as on any of those records.

I had a tape that was live back in 1988 but I didn't like it. Then again I was 12 so what would I have known. I will check them out again.
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

fucking killer. one of the best/underrated bands of all time

That's how I discovered them many years ago. I watched them perform "Johnny Hit and Run Pauline" and was hooked from that.
