Description
Dead Kennedys – Live... The Old Waldorf 1979 (CD, 2016, Interference Records) captures the band in raw, unfiltered form during a blistering set recorded on October 25, 1979, at San Francisco’s Old Waldorf. Broadcast originally by KALX-FM and recorded by Terry Hammer, this unofficial release bottles the chaotic energy of a band on the cusp of punk legend. Jello Biafra’s snarling vocals and the band’s razor-sharp delivery make this a vital document of the West Coast punk explosion. It’s a ferocious fireball of frustration and satire — three of their four early singles are in the set, making it a must-have for collectors and punk historians alike.
