There's something poetic, wild and heroic about his surfing pose.

I was 17 years old when i saw this on PBS. I grew up in a very religious and sheltered household and didnt have cable tv, internet or any secular music other than what i could hear on radio or broadcast tv or whatever. I tuned in right at the end of the interview but if you watch it, from that point on it never says who the band performing is until the end of the broadcast. My mind is reeling from how amazing the thing I just saw was and quickly turned to dread because i had no way of knowing who this was. Years went by before I saw a picture of Henry Rollins back tattoo and put the pieces together and figured out that he was the shirtless lunatic I saw that blew my brain apart. This performance was amajor stepping stone to me going down a very long journey of musical exploration and still gives me chills. Thank you so much for uploading this.

A 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 band playing 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝙇𝙄𝙑𝙀! What a rarity that’s become.

For the younger folks at home. "Stereo Simulcast" allowed you to turn your TV sound off and your Hi-Fi system On for Stereo quality audio through your FM tuner. 🎧

Admit it weve all sang along to Rollins band songs shirtless in basketball shorts at home at some Point hahaha

John Hiatt's introduction was so beautiful. It reminded of what Hank did with the IFC show.

a new upload of good, old Rollins Band - clicked and watched - 10/10

watching this at age 47 now nearly brought a tear to my eye… Loved this album… was front row in Dublins SFX shithole centre in 1998…. knew every lyric ❤

As a 17 year old kid finding this guy and all his bands has been a blessing over these past months. I’m in a stage of my life when everything feels like it’s challenging me and I’m mad for myself and other people and this guy fuckin gets it. Religious or not, God bless Henry Rollins

Damn this is the most jacked I've ever seen Henry

Still a fan after all these years.

I've been searching for the full episode of The Rollins Band on Sessions At West 54th forever (I lost the VHS tape that I recorded it on when it originally aired) Can't thank you enough for uploading it, I got something back I thought I would never see again. As we all know that is a very rare occurrence in life, which makes me appreciate it that much more. Thank you brother

Damn this set is so good! Every one in the band is so dialled in. I saw the Rollins Band in Australia around this time and it was awesome! Rest in peace to drummer Jason Mackenroth

Peak jacked rollins!

What a drummer. Omg. Attention to detail and stamina. Intense.

Thanks for sharing this. Henry with Mother Superior. I really needed that.

Bass player is killing it!

I love Rollins Band.

Tremendo registro, gran formación, grande Henry Rollins.....

Thank you for posting! Love this era of Rollins Band

Sim Cain was by far one of the best drummers for Henry Rollins, but the late, great Jason Mackenroth is SOLID!! RIP.

Truly awesome performance. If you wanna rock and roll kids, watch this shit and learn!

I was born too late to ever see Black Flag live, so the first time I got to see Henry perform was at the first Lollapalooza, and I’ve seen him a bunch since. Just an incredibly interesting and compelling guy. It’s great to see he’s back touring with his spoken word stuff after the shitstorm that the last couple years have been.

rollins forever! saw the rollins band several times between 1987 and the late 90ies. each show was enjoyabel as a special moment in music history! thx *hank the tank* for doing what you have been doin' ! 😎

The single row of flat silhouettes of an audience is priceless.

Not seen this before. Thanks for uploading!

I was skeptical, but this ROCKED!

I remember seeing this on T.V a loong time ago wow thanks for uploading ! This is like VHS days ! What a performance.

I was there... front row! Fucking LOVED that performance!

This is rocking.

what a gem!!! thanks for posting this👍

Saw the south Florida show around 2001, what a throwndown it was, Mother Superior opening and then Rollins Band!

The first time I saw ‘The Henry Rollins Band’ was at an all-ages show in Toronto on a Sunday circa late 198X-ish, I think it was at The El Mocambo. I kept thinking to myself ‘do some Black Flag’. He had just released his first album, I’ve seen him 4 times. I’ve yet to see him do his ‘spoken word’ stuff. I just hope he keeps dabbling in music every once in a while (which he seems to do...’Illumination’). He’s been a huge inspiration and influence in my life, a very rare artist/mover/shaker and philosopher. You CAN’T match his integrity. Edit, what does he got? He’s ALWAYS had a pair of black shorts PEACE :-)

Huge inspiration!⚕️I got to see him in NOLA on the coke in and burn tour!🔥🔥‼️👊

I fucking love this man!

"Part animal, Part machine"! 🤘

This performance makes me respect this post-Haskett/Gibbs/Cain lineup, which I usually don't do. Mother Superior seriously rocks. Much better live than recorded in the studio.

Cought this tour in Philly. Electric factory I believe. Cool seeing jh interview him.

I love Henry 💕

Not remotely comparable to the original Rollins Band line-up, their intensity was off the charts

SO SMART AN AND POWERFULL PERSONALITY,I LOVE HIM,

Dude just pounds with precision. Relentlessly beautiful.

Épic!!!!!

This is just great!!!

este hombre tiene una puesta en escena categoricamente desmesurada. Bravo por el maximo exponente americano de nuestros dias,

Amen & Hallelujah to World Citizen - the honourable Sir Henry Rollins the highest Pries Prophet of Punk, Poetry, Wise Sage and Rock God of the ages!!!

Rollins band with a Zappa reference, legit !

The THICK NECK AND THE VOCAL OF ROLLINS ♥️✊✊🤘🤘🤘🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🥀🥀

A top-flight performance from Henry and the band, and the Oh So Cool PBS audience (no doubt congratulating themselves for being there) just sit on their asses for the whole show.

15 JUNE 2022 um sorry im so late discovered this HOT muscled shirtless and barefeet vocalist hahaha i loved it! never seen any band like this!!! The good old days were the best

This is holy to me.

Saw the end of silence band in the U.K.then the Weight tour and the MS line up. All where great,but the MS tour was the best.

Is this recording available for purchase as an album in better audio quality, does anyone know? Love it!

Énorme et puissant ☀️☀️☀️

The superior Rollins band always rocked harder than the jazz version.

For my this performance is so fucking great great 🔥❤️ aguante rollins band🔥

Motivación

GET SOME GO AGAIN!

This is awesome. I was good friends with Jim (guitar player) and Marc (bassist). That might be Stefan on drums but not sure. I remember jammin with those cats in high school and what fun it was. Wow

Mother Superior. Great band. Went well with HR.

Thx

In the words of "Spinal Tap" but this goes to Eleven. i wish this was released on cd .

I've never really been a Henry Rollins fan but this was a pretty good performance

Say what you will, but that band freakin' SMOKED!

steve oh sings so cool

J adore ce côté MC5 Stooges sacré Henry Rollins je t'aime

Anyone know when this was recorded/broadcast? Seems like from the Get Some Go Again album

Thank you. If I didn't see Self opinion.I wouldn't be here. Period. Thank you Henry Rollins.

That alignment is out of this world. Someone knows the name of the bass player?

Such a tight band!

Good ass drummer

doomsday Jazz!

Still cant a band that match this style

Def Jam Henry Rollins

This incarnation of the band was just MURDEROUS. Zero prisoners taken, firing on all fronts. And Henry at 40 full intensity. HAIL!🤘

Henry Rollins bobbing and dancing around reminds me a lot of Maynard and his "awkward dancing". Maybe Rollins inspired it?

Was that Warrel Dane (Nevermore) on guitar?

What year would this be? Bloody great!

Круть!

Live off girlfriend, say how life's hard...That's gold Henry 👊👍

Talk is talk. Kill is kill.

I remember coming home from work and catching this. First time I found out he got rid of Chris and Sim. This version is not good.

5:02….let the therapy begin 👍🤘😁

Letsgobubblegum.... Damn.

I prefer the earlier Rollins Band line ups...this is group is ok.

That guitarist wanted to be stevie so bad .

No Sugar Sim Cain, no Hasquett...No Rollins Band, just Rollins

If tuco Salamanca had a rock band

Yo...mr.blackflag

I didn't read. Enough

2:11!? Kids?

And nothing of it matters anymore because the music industry is dead.

I love me some Rollins but this is kinda cheese

Last rollins band album line up and songs all junk.

Should of been called " Give Up, Give Up Give Up, We're done!!!! Your music was over after this magic Right? Spoken word train came rolling in, I respect that! Your band days were over and you are not "Elvis"! The only band that will leave you with history and acknowledgement is Chris Haskett, Sim Cain and Andrew Weiss and follow up bass player for a short time Melvin Gibbs. This crew you gathered for an album that went nowhere.. End of Silence will be your greatness. I look forward to seeing this band with a new singer at the State fair now Covid is over .

Band is shit with out Sim Cain. Haskett.. I'm out!!

soo original,henrry rolling is the shit,real amazin musican aand smart dude,,,,,
