For anyone who followed Fugazi from stage to stage in the ’90s, this montage of onstage jokes, chimpanzee and Bengay tales, $5 ticket checks, constructive crowd criticism, and all-around awesomeness is welcome nostalgia. “You little MTV Generation piece of shit.”

    I love this. Half the reason I bought some of the Fugazi Live Series cd’s was for this stuff though… Looks like I won’t be getting any more of those soon! Sorry Dischord!

    seriously, does stereogum just recycle pitchfork’s news? this is a silly little post that belongs on pitchfork, if that.

    • Nah, this isn’t silly — it’s a distillation of one of the most charismatic live bands ever doing something they did really well: Talk shit. I saw them a dozen plus times in this period and happily sat and listened to this entire thing. It’s pretty great as nostalgia (and also as a primer for bands who don’t have anything interesting to say between their songs).

    • I got this link from the Chunklet newsletter, not any other blog. Sometimes we don’t post these mini-stories right away because there is bigger news to cover. There are only three of us!
