HD are my beatles. I enjoy you enjoyed 'em too.

Did you ever see them live? I guess not. I once saw Minutemen and Husker Du play in NYC and try to blow each other off the stage. Wow Early 80's were a golden age for underground music. We had no chance of success, so it was pure

You're right. I've spent considerable time analyzing (enjoying) their approach and what I tend towards is this: They were 3 very committed people, at least two of them naturally artistic in songwriting and visual arts (musically none of them are at a virtuoso level, but that matters not in rock and roll, they are incredibly good at putting across their concept and then making it personal, and crushing it--and GREG flew like no other bassist EVER), however, what the Huskers have is an undeniably peppy and dramatic rhythm section backing them up. That appeals to the human heart. Theirs was an equation that superseded all others. The fury, the pace, the melody, the intensity, the visuals, etc. In the music world they are just as important as Led Zep or Hendrix or A-smith or REM. They unlocked mysteries of the musical atom that no one else ever would have. Nobel Prize winners to me.

Canadian and great lakes folks know the potential of the power trio better than most.

@@GotLotsaFaith Well said. All of them play their instruments well considering they came from punk and hardcore. Bob has his own style, Greg could play incredibly fast with fingers and Grant could play fast drums while singing in an intense way

Yea, I'm very sad too, especially since they said they were contemplating getting back together...

O no,no please,say this is fake news!!

Do you happen to remember if this is from the early or late show? Thank you.

I think they started this show with New Day Rising. I hope more footage surfaces this decade. R.I.P. Grant Hart

Gotta say this is probably my 200th or so time watching this clip alone by now

@Google Comrade. as it should be. i’m just wondering if he still has it.

@@bradoozy he does, actually. He stopped playing them on the road after Hüsker Dü split but who knows if he used his Flying Vs on a recording or plays them privately sometimes.

Husker Du should be in the rock and roll hall of fame

Huskers are one of the greatest ever.

True, that is what they tried to do as a trio

I like Husker Du better than Nirvana.

I know I'm responding a little late, but it's not just your opinion, but it's also Dave Grohl's opinion. I'd have to dig for the actual wording of the comment, but it was something along the lines of "I don't know what the big deal is (about Nirvana). Husker Du did it first." With Dave doing a ton of show with Bob, at the very least there is a ton of respect between the two to this day.

Check out the bands Suicide and The Gun Club. They were central to the rock music scene with the same intensity.

I can imagine it now: "I used to drum for Hüsker Dü -- I still do, but I used to, too." ;^}

Why ironically? You aren't allowed to use Flying V's on the hardcore/punk scene?
