Saw all the best shows in the 80’s at The Outhouse. A punk venue in the middle of a Kansas cornfield

Sardine packed shows suck.

I grew up watching shows at the Reseda Country Club in LA in the 80's and 90's, then the Vancouver punk scene from the 90's onward. It was dangerous, aggressive, sometimes life altering, but never to be missed. It was a blast and i wouldnt have done it any other way :)

Never forget the Country Club was also a boxing venue.

Or in St. Stephens church in their case.

Not a bouncer or nazi in sight 🖤🖤🖤

I saw them at CBGBs in 1987.

Growing up in the OC in the 80's, I loved me some Minor Threat..Saw them a few times live..

I only watch shows in small venues anymore with certain exceptions.

And backyards and basements!

I saw Minor Threat open for PiL in College Park, MD in 1983. Ian lost the mic in the crowd and so screamed out the songs without it. He sang so loud you could just barely hear his voice over the massive PA system.

Oh man, those tiny venues fucking rocked . . I spent most of my musical upbringing in the 1980s in such places, starting with TSOL in 1980 or so and ending with Trent Reznor’s first tour in 1989 (not punk, but still a great, high energy show).

Even with different genres, small venues are the best.

Or basements

I haven't been to a festival show since warped/ozzfest 98, and I won't be going to one anytime soon. I remember the Pomp Room in Sioux Falls, and that's what punk rock shows should feel like.

I remember shows here in Portland in the basement of a record store. One skinny steep staircase in and out. No fire exits, 100+ year old building. We are lucky we didn't die in a fire but damn those were some great shows

Always wanted that song as my ringtone

bluemitten.bsky.social•31 days ago

And when you were able to hang out with the band after.

When I was the perfect age to enjoy these, they scared the crap out of me and I left immediately. It was not until I was older that I would love throwing myself into the middle of the chaos
