Interesting that you mentioned DEVO! I love those guys, but thought they were more “new wave”. (Their fully remixed collection is available for download, by the way.)
DEVO was new wave for sure. First album was first rate.
I Don’t Want to Hear It - Minor Threat
TV Party - Black Flag
Ever Fallen in Love - Buzzcocks
Black Flag - My War not being there, with some of that other tripe that’s on there, is criminal...

She was 15 in this concert. She was discovered in a dry cleaning store, at age 13 when she was heard singing along with the radio. Her father is Burmese & mother is English, assuming they are still alive as she is only 57. She was born Oct. 31, 1966. Annabella Lwin was born Myant Myant Aye, In Burmese that is written as: မြတ်မြတ်အေး 😋
The concert at the link is about 43 minutes. Enjoy when you have the time. 🙂
You were talking about how the punk song list had questionable songs on there that are not punk.
To which I agreed. However, there is a punk pop classification, and I guess some could stretch into that category, but it is still a pretty far stretch.
My, yes there is reason to go on, and that means you can add your selections which might open some of us into other punk songs & groups we may not have heard of. Does that make sense? 🙂👍
Yep that sure makes sense. I’m not a punk aficionado, so probably couldn’t add any tunes. Don’t get me wrong. I love punk, but my knowledge base is not that broad. Would you consider the Bad Brains punk?
I have seen every bit of Bow Wow Wow footage available on YouTube. Not many unwieldy VHS cameras rolling back in those days of old, so not much BWW live stuff was recorded. I watched this Portland concert again, though. Never tired of reliving those days of listening to Bow Wow Wow on vinyl or cassette tapes in the car.
I liked (maybe will take some heat for saying so) also Blondie which I considered Punk vs just New Wave.
Debbie Harry was the last concert I saw before Covid shut everything down.
I wouldn’t disagree. I don’t know much about Blondie, but “One Way or Another” sounds more like punk to me.
When we went to see the Who (Quadrophenia tour), the opening band, which no one ever heard of was Lynyrd Skynyrd. They absolutely rocked the Capital Center down. Alost seemed like The Who was going to be a letdown, but of course they were great too. Went to my local record store the very next morning, and the guy that owned was very well versed in the music scene said who when I mentioned Lynyrd Skynyrd. I said they opened for The Who last night. I said you had better stock up on that record because you will be getting many requests for them. 🤣
Enjoyed the Stones playing in FedEx filed in Landover Md. for their Hot Licks Tour in 2002 40th Anniversary tour.
The Grateful Dead at RFK Stadium. >The Stones on or near the 4th of July 1972 at RFK. Because I remember being rained on by Cherry Bombs by one or more people who were throwing them off the upper deck above us. The Moody Blues, can't remember the venue (was probably quite wasted). Pink Floyd can't remember where. Ozzy Osborne, after Black Sabbath at Wolf Trap National Park.
Oh well, enough reminiscing. Because I've forgotten more than I remember. Old age is such fun. 🤣
I guess my most unexpected surprise was seeing Siouxsie and the Banshees at Universal Amphitheater. She's not a great singer but from a theatrical standpoint her performance was mesmerizing.
I never got to see the greats such as Led Zeppelin, RUSH, Ozzy, etc..
One of the few benefits of living in the D.C. area. Glad now though of leaving the cesspool it has sadly become over 20 years ago now.
So she got to see Jimi Hendrix. Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, CCR and a slew of ither great bands. She has seen the Stones so many times, and would love to go see them again on the 2024 tour. She would camp out for days to get tickets, buy a bunch and sell them for a profit so that she actually made money to go see most of them. She went to New Orleans Fair Grounds in 2012 (Part of the Jazz Fest) with her eldest son & his wife where she saw Tom Petty, and lots of other bands, but she went specifically to see Tom Petty. For some reason I had decided to pass. I think it might have been spending all day long in the sun, that just didn't seem appealing to me.
When we came down to Louisiana to see her dad in 2000, we went to the House of Blues, but I can't remember who we saw, but man what a great venue.
There was a place called the 9:30 Club in D.C. that had lesser known bands come play. Most, but not all, local talent. (looked to see if it is still there and it isn't but I see they built an exact replica)
It's also where I got introduced to Rockabilly from 2 bands called:
Both of whom have made names for themselves even if they didn't become well known.
That club was also where I was introduced to Punk and slam dancing. But I couldn't tell you any of their names if my life depended upon it. It was the slam dancing that got me hooked. 🤣
The 2nd & 3rd pictures were of the original club.
It was located right next to The Ford's Theater where of course was where Lincoln was Assassinated.
The following would have been after they moved to the new location which I never had visited or even knew of its existence, because I was older and married by then:
As the ‘80s stretched on, you could catch an emerging indie band at the 9:30 Club nearly every night; some went on to superstardom. A few of the bands that took to the original club’s stage before they really hit it big: R.E.M., Nirvana (who, in 1991, wrote their 14-song set list on a paper plate before the show), Red Hot Chili Peppers, Smashing Pumpkins and Jane’s Addiction. (I missed these as I had grown tired of punk by probably 1983 - dang it)
The Big Move
Seth Hurwitz and Rich Heinecke began booking shows for the 9:30 Club in 1981, and bought the establishment in 1986. The club’s notoriety only grew, and eventually, the cozy and condensed confines of 930 F Street NW could no longer hold the spectacle inside. As new venues like The Black Cat started opening, Hurwitz and Heinecke felt it was time to re-invent the club.
On Jan. 5, 1996, the new 9:30 Club opened with a raucous show that fittingly featured the Smashing Pumpkins, who were in the midst of massive MTV stardom at the time. The legal capacity of the original venue was 199; the current iteration of 9:30 holds up to 1,200 people. Since then, the club has continued to welcome emerging artists from all over the world, as well as established acts.
