I first listened to Beastie Boys in Jr High and got into The Bad Brains in college. I just found out the other day they (Bad Brains) still have concerts. I found out by hearing about a concert in the DC area the day after.

OMG, you're familiar with Bad Brains??? Saw them at Mississippi Nights in St. Louis, hung out with them after the show for a while, was my favorite to listen to for ages. You wouldn't happen to have any of the old recordings would you?
Mtnbkr - I googled them a few years ago to see if they were still around somewhere and to see if they had DVDs out (I wore my cassette tapes out YEARS ago), but didn't get a single hit.
I first saw the Bad Brains in 1978 - I was an 18yr old punkrocker/anarchist living in NYC east village, it was truly freaking dangerous at the time, it is only by the grace of God I'm still alive to talk about it.
in 1978 the punkers were still pogo-ing and slamming wasn't yet in vogue, I lived at various times in "Studio 10" across the street from CBGB's and in the "Palace Hotel" above CBGB's .... it was far far far from a palace.
You wouldn't happen to have any of the old recordings would you?
the only BB music I ever owned was the
ROIR yellow cassette tape, I wish I did have that! it would be worth something to collectors.
HR, lead singer of the Bad Brains is now completely bonkers- so if you miss a show these days you are not missing anything ....
In the seventies every show started with a chant by the audience and HR
"we will not do what you want or do what you say, no no!" we would chant that for awhile then the Brains would start with
Big Takeover & it was instant riot
