Ever fancied owning fugazi's first show? - aberdeen-music

Fugazi might not sell T-shirts, but it takes a page from Pearl Jam
and The Pixies' book by releasing a slew of live appearances.

Dischord Records announced it will make 20 live performances
by the band available for purchase. Dating back to the band's
first show in 1987 to a 1999 show. True to its low-pricing
scheme, the albums, dubbed the Fugazi Live Series, will be
priced $8 for a single-disc set and $10 for a double-disc show.

Fugazi makes no bones about the recording quality of its shows.
Its earliest shows were put to tape, then it graduated to DAT.

"These are very much the original recordings without any attempt
to correct for things like volume changes, strange mixing effects,
or the occasionally out-of-tune guitar" the band explained on FugaziLiveSeries.com.
"Though the sound quality on these tapes does vary, if a show
was too poorly recorded it didn't make the cut."

Well I have some of their demos from 1989 and a live set from 1988 already and its a bit rough.... The Frankfurt live CD set I own from 1992 is better quality though.

It gets a bit costly if you wanted to own them all though, which I will want to own them all, to keep my Fugazi collection complete. Cheers, Mackaye.

its hardly that expensive, I actually jutst bought 5 of these the other day, and I got them all, with postage for £25 or just slightly under. What a bargain.

Now that you mention it, the american Dollar is on it's arse at the minute, so it wouldn't be too expensive.

Still, I want to own them all.

Have you recieved yours yet? Is the packaging nice?

not yet, only ordered it the other day, but from looking at the CD on the dischord site, they all have the same packaging, just a different date on each of them.

Looking forward to getting them though.

I ordered the bottom 5, and next month, i think I will take the next 10.

hahaha

Nice work.

I just added them all to my virtual Dischord shopping cart. Including postage it costs $335.50

DAYAAAAAAMN!

I want.

Get them because they are fucking ace.

All the packaging is the same and they seem cheaply made, but who cares, its the music that matters right???

Awesome.

They were/are such an awesome band.
