20 From '87 (10) Husker Du Mc Donough Field Emory University Atlanta GA 23rd October 1987

 

Now here's a band that were very in vogue in the second half of the 1980's. As such they were on my horizon but I never really went after them as a band. I remember whilst in sixth form one of my mates latched on to them. We played the first live album, 'Land Speed Record' and being unacustomed to US hardcore at that time, how we laughed. I am listening to it now as I type this and I like it! In the years that followed that release they developed into a more melodic band and became beloved of the British music press. Of their later output I only know a handful of songs, 'Don't Want To Know If You Are Lonely', 'Books About UFOs', 'Could You Be The One'..... Bob Mould went on to further success after the demise of Husker Du with Sugar.

Husker Du would only play eight more gigs after this one before an acrimonious split.
