Just heard Brother Wayne died today. Too sad. What a great man and a great musician. This show is a tribute to his generous spirit. The world is a lesser place with his passing. This band rocks and grooves.

RIP Wayne, one of the greats.

Brother Wayne never got a Grammy but is more important than 99% of the artists who did...RIP Wayne, long live rock and roll, true artistry and long live the MC5

Rest in Peace Mr. Wayne Kramer, you'll always be a true legend of Rock'n'roll. Your music will not be forgotten

Fugazi's drummer is a monster

If you're gonna play MC5 music you gotta empty the tank on EVERY song, no holding back, no pissyfootin, you gotta BRING IT! If you're not sweatin at the end, you didnt play it right!

KEXP sound engineer should be given a saint hood! Again! Always top notch....

quote from the guardian.."Explaining why he was returning, Kramer said: “I think it was time to reignite that spirit of 1968, the spirit of my generation, when we were all young people. I think we’re at a very dangerous time in our history. And I think if we don’t all organise, come together, and step up, we could lose it all. Democracy could go away. The forces that we’re up against are not joking. This is not playtime. This is serious.”

RIP Wayne… I wish more people gave Detroit and the outlying suburbs the recognition they deserve for what they and other bands did for punk rock. They laid the asphalt that most musicians walk on today😢

R.I.P Wayne Kramer may your music and voice for the people ❤

Im usually not for replacement members of great bands, but im really, really blown away. This is spectacular.

Now that’s what I call a supergroup!

Rest in peace, brother Wayne. I consider myself lucky as I got to see him performing with MC50 in Budapest @a38 ~5 yrs ago, it was a truly inforgettable night (especially because their drummer was Brendan Canty from another all-time fav band of mine, Fugazi... But obviously in the end it was a celebration of MC5, I never thought that I would be able to see any of them). ...and of course we owe another big thanks to KEXP for doing & sharing this absolutely awesome video with MC50, what a remarkable line-up. We fckn love you guys :)

This is just so heavy and cool. So happy for Wayne. He is an inspiration..............Kim's guitar sound and Wayne's wow!

Marcus and his band Zen Guerrilla are amazing! What a lineup.

This lineup is ridiculous! I love all of these players and all of their corresponding bands respectively!

And that is ladies and gentleman how rock n roll is played!

Saw the MC5 many times at the Grande Ballroom and other venues. They blew every other band off the stage.

Great rock n roll is the fountain of youth. Can see it right there.

MC5 was and still it is a geat band!!!!!!!

huge props to the studios. presentation..stereo imaging. EQ capturing lightening in a bottle...like a Molotov cocktail

Holy shit, what a line up!

Absolutely FANTASTIC.. Play this LOUD !!

This is so good it should be illegal.

Fascinating to watch this as a Fugazi and MC5 fan. I always knew the former influenced the latter but Brendan's playing here shows the musical link between those essential bands

I saw them in Chicago in 1970....they were Fantastic!

R.I.P. Brother Wayne, You were a kind Man, Cousin Figel

It is always amazing to see live bands who are this TIGHT !! This is a fabulous performance by a most talented group, to say the least !! GREAT STUFF !!!!

Real musicians! 10x God for thoese guys still have the light of music!!!

Later that night at Seattle's Showbox Theater Mark Arm (Mudhoney, Green River, Bloodloss, Mr Epp, Thrown Ups, etc) guest sang "FUTURE/NOW" and Matt Cameron (Soundgarden, Wellwater Conspiracy, Pearl Jam, Skin Yard, etc) doubled up on drums the whole night. Yes, half of Soundgarden played (and Ben Shephard was in the audience). What an insane show from the front row! *fists in the air*

Just landed here. Wow! Now this is a very super group

Songs: Future/Now 2:13 Rocket Reducer No. 62 (Rama Lama Fa Fa Fa) 6:33 High School 29:11 Come Together 33:10

Those guys are tight. The singer is a powerhouse

to quote an old western in regards to Brother wayne; there goes a man. that every boy hopes to grow up to be. and every old man. wish he had been. a nstional treasure. one of the last amszing giant. from a time when giants roam the earth. for the pleasure of the creator.

R.I.P. Wayne, your legend will live forever, thank you for what you taught to us!

Way late to the party on this one and glad it is still here to get some sonic atomic sunburn. Gonna be hard to get to sleep and now I don’t even care. What a slayer.

What an amazing choice of musicians.

Now that's some high quality rock and roll

Just had Wayne Kramer autograph his new book for me. Him & the MC5 are legends around here (Detroit) They were the house band @ The Grande Ballroom back in the day, couldnt touch them.

Oh my god they still got it! It makes them so badass!

What a line up! I love these guys!

Just wow! RIP, Wayne. I missed this one. What a gem your music is and what a gem you truly were.

Gould is phenomenal as always

Wayne, une énergie qui n'avait d'égale que sa gentillesse, sa générosité, un homme juste extraordinaire.

the sweetest sound pure rocknroll

Man this is like a Rock Mecca all components firing MC50 are still the rockers!

Thank You KEXP for this surprise : a true pleasure !!!

My god.......I was just blown away by this performance....my god!!! Wow!!!

Wayne Kramer. Smart guy. Always a smart guy. To paraphrase the words of Jim Carroll "here's to you my brother!

So tight and the sound is amazing!

MC5 sempre foi uma sonzêra!!! Clássico do rock!

Love you guys. New to MC5. Like the outlook and the energy. MC100 here we come!

Another brilliant KEXP session

Glad Wayne K is still with us and still rocking.....

The drummer is the one that ALWAYS impresses me everytime I hear Quicksand. The guy is WAY beyond solid.

How good is he´s singing! WOW!

Wow Newark Delaware and Woolworth,'s my ole stompin ground The Stone Ballon ! Saw so many great acts there in late seventies early 80's

Rest in Peace Wayne. You gave so much pleasure through your uncompromising music. Always 200% commitment to your art.

After listening to the mostly blah stuff from the Grammy's last night, had to refresh my Inner Jukebox. Thank you. This washes video washes away all the tripe from last night.
