I may eventually post all of the Dead kennedys albums on here. I have no remorse whatsoever in doing so. The Dead Kennedys were what they were because of Jello Biafra, plain and simple. Jello was to the Dead Kennedys as Glenn Danzig was to the Misfits and Kurt Cobain was to Nirvana. The whole thing cannot function without that key member, though in two of those cases, the bands have exploited the name without the key member for monetary purposes only. So I suppose this is my protest to the members who betrayed Jello and have been ripping him off ever since then. Even Jello's replacement singer, who had many bad things to say about Jello, was eventually ripped off and betrayed by the same people. Fuck them. So here's your free copy of this brilliant album. This came out in 1979, I believe, which was the same year Jello Biafra ran for mayor of San Francisco. He tells the whole story of that on the I Blow Minds For A Living spoken word album, it's a bad ass story! Get this album by CLICKING HERE!!

I'm not exactly sure what all was going down with the band at this point, but this show took place before the criminal prosecution of the Frankenchrist album and long before they broke up. I think person conflicts within the band pushed the band to see each other less and less, until their eventual destruction. They would even have one more album come out after this, and I suppose it's possible that they did another show as a benefit for the No More Censorship Defense Fund, but this was the last show as far as we know. The sound quality is bad, but the set list is pretty good, and it's another little piece of history. Listen to the spoken word album High Priest of the Harmful Matter and you'll get an idea of everything that was going on in their lives at this point. Get it HERE.
