Long before the dreadlocks this is what the band looked like.
Keith Johnny Morris was a one man army on the mic. This version of "Wild in the Streets" is pretty good but I like the studio version better. He shredded his vocal chords by the time he belted out this tune. This was not your fathers rock band.
The kids in the audience are pretty much the way I remember them. Although when I saw them at St Andrews in Detroit I distinctly recall bodies flying in mid air as they were continuously stage diving. Not all of these kids were caught in mid-flight as quite a few of them landed on the floor. One kid in particular broke his leg at the show I was at. Morris stopped the show and grumbled, "EVERY TIME, WE PLAY IN DETROIT, SOME KID ALWAYS BREAKS HIS LEG !!".... after the kid was wheeled out the show played on. It was brutal. You always ran the risk of getting your ribs shattered in the pit.
These guys just recently played in Brooklyn, NYC.
