Sound RatingA-
NoteThis was traded to me as 08/03/81, so I don't know which is accurate. Ferocious show, but frought with sound problems. Soundboard recording, but there are mix adjustments through almost the entire show. Still, a really great listen. All songs on one long track. Shares a disc with another Minor Threat show, date unknown (not the 04/29/82 show, which commonly circulates with this). The extra show is a B audience recording with 7 songs (I Don't Wanna Hear It, Bottled Violence, Small Man Big Mouth, Filler, Straight Edge, In My Eyes, and Screaming At A Wall).

CommentFrom Michael Azerrad's "Our Band Could Be Your Life":

"Mackaye's pen pal Corey Rusk of the Necros arranged for the band to stay at his parents' house in Ohio, then they continued on to Chicago, where they had a gig at the seminal punk club O'Banion's. O'Banion's management almost canceled the show when they realized the band was under twenty-one, but Mackaye talked them into it, agreeing to make their young pals stay outside. 'we're all set up and right next to me was the exit to the street,' Mackaye recalls. 'we had already made a plan with everybody. we set up and I said 'good evening, we're Minor Threat from Washington, D.C.' and then I kicked the door open and everyone just ran in.'"

"local punk mainstay Santiago Durango did sound for that show. 'they played and there were about five people there, but, boy, they blew the roof off that club,' says Durango, who later joined Big Black. 'I thought, 'whoa, what energy, what...everything.' I thought, 'holy shit, what am I doing playing music - these guys are just awesome!' they were very tight-knit - they brought their own little fans. at one point they thought that somebody had said something to them, so they all banded together and started chasing some phantoms down the street."
