DJ Terre T:

Once again TheCityGardens OG,
RKO
brings WFMU an off -the- board, never heard before live document. We are incredibly honored and lucky to archive the
1985 document of the
last live performance of
The MINUTEMEN
at the legendary
NJ rock venue City Gardens,
months before D.Boon’s untimely death.
Avatar 10:21am
DJ Terre T:

I have heard this recording prior to upload and it is SO incredibly great ! NOTE:
Though this was recorded off-the-board, it was still captured on ye olde Cassette tape which had to be restored and cleaned up after years in storage.
So it won't be digital crystal clear
--that said, after 38 years this sounds pretty damn amazing.
My mind's truly blown by this MINUTEMEN document - thank you RKO for rescuing this precious recording.
