I <A HREF="http://blahg.blank.org/index.php?p=294" REL="nofollow">saw them a few years ago with Public Enemy</A> in NYC, and they were still <I>ferocious</I> live: I figured the monster comeback album was just around the corner and I was stoked. Then I bought it. Sigh. You can't go home again, apparently.<BR/><BR/>But I'd pay to see them live any time, any place, as long as any of them are still around. And I'll probably break down and buy the otherwise unexciting Guitar Hero 3, just because it's got Cult of Personality on it.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the video!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486244714643027014.post-38597920436935335732007-08-04T10:03:00.000-07:002007-08-04T10:03:00.000-07:00Whew!

Didn't have the start and stop problems you warned about, Dave. <BR/><BR/>If you have never seen a Living Colour show live, this captures the vibe. Without the ringing ears and sweat-soaked shirt after the show. <BR/><BR/>How to sum them up? Chops, showmanship, sound effects, intensity, message, groove, politics, I'm sure there's more. If you like electricity and electronics in your music, you can't beat Living Colour. Only the version of the Rollins Band featuring Chris Hackett, Melvin Gibbs, and Sim Cain come close.<BR/><BR/>When Living Colour added that madman of technology, Doug Wimbish, well they already couldn't be touched, but he took them to the stratosphere.<BR/><BR/>"Terrorism!" Like a muthafucka! "If you want this place to be a better place, fuck George Bush." And Dick Cheney and Alberto Gonzalez.<BR/><BR/>It's funny how baad dudes come together in a band. Each member of Living Colour is a unique personality and extremely baad. Love them bruhs.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Dave!

Their first show outside of Brooklyn. They had everybody come on stage while did some go-go rock? That was the sheeit.<BR/><BR/>Living Colour, Fishbone, Bad Brains, 24-7 Spyz were it back then. Saw a Living Colour show when I was in law school in LA. Right after they went over big. Trulio Disgracias opened. It was an expanded version of Fishbone - about twenty muthafuckas on stage. It was dark so I couldn't see who was also in the band. I heard a couple mugs from Red Hot Chili was up there, too. They broke into a version of "Red Hot Mama" that blew the roof off!<BR/><BR/>Yeah, it's too bad that Black rock movement died in the early 90s. Living Colour's last cd Collideoscope was baad. Saw them open for King Crimson here in Denver back 2003. Should've been the other way around because as baad as Crimson is, they couldn't match the intensity of Living Colour.<BR/><BR/>I could go on and on, but I won't - until I watch this video.DeAngelo Starneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18159838580641718119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486244714643027014.post-11030356763570004982007-08-03T13:10:00.000-07:002007-08-03T13:10:00.000-07:00"Twenty years ago I thought black rock was gonna t..."Twenty years ago I thought black rock was gonna take over."<BR/>Or at least not completely disappear.
