This live album has a sweet version of the Ramones "Commando", and of course the seminal Angry Samoans classic "You Stupid A$$hole", which Mudhoney covered 15 years later. Don't forget to check out the closing track "I'm in Love with your Mom", hilariously offensive, as punk should be.
These songs were recorded live at a record store back in 1979, and finds the band at their most energetic, snottiest, and powerful. The sound quality is actually quite good, and the liner notes included with the album tell a great story about how the whole thing went down. They were banned from a local club (on obscenity charges) and needed a place to play. Well, they packed their gear and 40 people into a little vinyl shop and history was made in the process. Check it out!
