Bad Brains Live At The Ritz, NYC, 1986-12-27 [60fps] 

By far the best punk music to come out the US

I was at this show. Never knew it was filmed! I went to college in NYC from 85-89 and saw every Bad Brains show in those years as well as having seen them first in FL in 82 and other times before college. My favorite Punk band bar none

darryl is really a master of holding the bass tempo and playing it perfectly yet somewhat groovy at the same time

I'm in my 31s and I discovered Bad Brains 3 months ago, I freaked out! After that, I can't stop dancing like HR...Sublime band!

I saw them do this in London in 87 - unbelievably good, and the backflip was the final supreme statement. I’m blessed to have seen them.

Drove up from PA the day before to see Beastie Boys & Murphy's Law play here, followed by this show the next night. Outrageously fun experience, such an intense show!

I was there…still have the flyer! Beasties played the day before…saw that too! What a weekend! Magic Times.

Love this band, God bless the Bad Brains. 🙏

My old band toured with the boys in 1997-98; and H.R. was just as agile and jumped right out into the crowd as they still destroyed every single club We’d play across Amerikkka and I have toured with everyone from The Accused to Voi Vod in my 44+ years of experience with the entire process of this career of mine beginning at The Old Rathskeller in town ( now defunct ) and never met such an amazing group of guys who truly would pray to their own God, exercise on a regular basis and H.R. wasn’t the only one doing this for at least half the year We were with them. I personally have been doing this with my very first one and if I remember correctly; it was the Corrosion Of Conformity Technoracy Ep + Dr. Know ( no relation) on the This Island Earth Tours of 1987-88; May- November as we’ve had some 13+ albums released til this date! Motörhead and Slayer was the one that sticks out for Me personally, because I literally had seen Lemmy sitting in a bar at a place called The Channel for a Grand Funk show during my early 20’s and We got along so nicely that he’d told Me that their opening band had just dropped out like that and I told him who I was playing with and he had heard of Us and asked if we were any good and I told him “No, we suck” he laughed so hard that we got the gig like nothing; trying out the next morning at a local studio space called House Of Borax and automatically got put up into the schedule alongside the boys in his band and then not as well known as today- SLAYER!! Kerry King thought he was just that “KING” so we had to do what we did to knock him down from his pedestal pretty quick like lol 😂 Jeff was the coolest kid ever and I miss both him and Lemmy even more now that they are both gone for good. I would never want to do anything else in my life and I’m grateful for those opportunities to tour with the minor and major acts of yesteryear. Bad Brains and Black Flag were probably the most roughest ones of which we all still have battle scars to prove it all. The Cows and Lubricated Goat were fun and a lot more of them were still greener than we had been. I just wish we could do it all over again.

Gives me chills…. The FUCKING BAD BRAINS!

So cool see the staff guys sing the songs with the crownd

Bless whoever filmed this. And who posted it. THANK YOU!

I saw them at this show. The audience was basically the entire NYHC scene and some hip hop celebrities of that era. There’s a rumor that Prince himself was in the pit. I didn’t see him. Great video!

The band I most wish I could’ve seen. Great video, thanks for posting.

Any questions? One of my favorite band ever.

I was there!

I saw them in L.A. at the Stardust ballroom had a great time best band I have seen and I've been to a lot of shows back in the day I've seen all the good ones from Circle Jerks, Adolescents,D.I. Black Flag,DK's etc.

This is them at the height of their powers. I saw them for the 1st time on this tour when i was 15. Ive been a Rastafarian ever since. Yes. It was THAT badass.

This is fucking amazing God the world needs bad brains right now

Yo, I'm so thankful that you uploaded this, roots. It brings me back to my teens when I worshiped Bad Brains. I've been getting back into them heavy the last decade... and this is just a gem as it activates that inner time machine.

HR goes down a little after 29 and doesn't miss a beat

Gots to see them Jam as " Soul Brains 🧠" in SF in Late 90's . Epic!

This is amazing. I was at this show. Thanks for posting!!

Wow!! what a show this one was.

@mickmod: fucking epic. thank you so much for posting and sharing.

It was fierce intense hard driving pandemonium that night.

Best bass tone ever, im willing to fight anyone who disagree with this fact

PMA! 😎! Thanks 🙏 for posting ! Dig on the Footage

the best. period

Is there really a skinhead fighting with H.R. throughout this amazing show? He even throws H.R. off stage at one point but he keeps on singing perfectly. Because he can.

Thank you so much! This is great! Take care!

They are the punk/hardcore band that other punk/hardcore bands listen to.

Uf...que pasada.
