Bad Brains - Earl's Birthday Show, NY 1979-02-01

 


Bad Brains

December 16, 1979

Max's Kansas City

New York, NY

Notes:

The famous "Earl's Birthday" gig. A furious performance, a great mix, and a seemingly low-gen source. Another source of this set was released as the "Rebel in the City" vinyl boot. This source was purchased on cassette at a North Carolina record show in the late 1980s. I've nearly worn it out listening to it since. My source begins with a cut version of "I," which I discovered was actually an inferior version of their encore included at the end of the cassette. I believe many sources of this gig contain the same error. I've removed the inferior version from the beginning of the set for this seed. The song remains, in its full version, at the end of the set, when it was originally performed. Some hiss remains after noise reduction, and there's an occasional tape warble you'd expect from a 15-year-old cassette, but still an easy 9 out of 10.
