So now we arrive at 1984, the year forever associated with Big Brother, the systematic destruction of free will all of that uplifting Orwellian stuff.... right up the Dead Kennedys street!Long-standing art collaborator, Winston Smith, even took his name from the book's anti-hero.
Quite some time had passed since the band's last album, 'Plastic Surgery Disaters' so throughout 1984 they were in a position to showcase new, as yet unrecorded, material at their gigs. In the gig that follows, they are playing six songs from the album that would be 'Frankenchrist' a full year before the album was released.
I note that this gig I have posted before, some years ago, but this could be an upgrade, I dunno. But it is of excellent quality and well worth a listen. For me this is the epitome of a Kennedys gig, with Jello in full-flow between numbers. The man can talk, it's no wonder that after the bands demise he found a welcoming home on the spoken word circuit.
