Punk & Cubs--Cubby Bear, Chicago, 1984 

Anthony Illarde - Drummer , Rights of The Accused , Lava Sutra , Goblins , Chamber Strings - (2:31). Tom Faulkoner - Bassist , ROTA , Mystery Girls -(2:20....I think.). You can faintly hear "The Enemy" by DOA ... Cubby Bear used to be a great place to see a show. It might as well be in the suburbs , now.

Sox fan and a punk! I'm in that crowd, damnit!

Thanks for sharing this little bit of history. Incredible! Go Cubs!

This is awesome, i still have the original vhs tape i recorded back in 1983, im the idiot jumping off the stage at 2:15min. I miss those days!

My first Exploited show!!

"these kids are just slam dancing...." hahahahah Love Cubby Bear: saw Cro-Mags there.... Saw Murphy's Law there... shit countless others.... Also great Chicago venues from back in the day: Dreamerz on Miluakee Ave. ; Medusa's, The Vic Theater ; Caberet Metro of course ... Aragon Ballroom....

Holy shit!! That brings back memories..Out of Order on the video. Crazy.. I went to and played a lot of shows there... Danny Thompson

I'm dancing & smiling like mad at 2:15. :) Fun teen years.

Good year for the Cubbies! Pretty good year for the punk scene. Punks and jocks unite! Ha! I have to admit, Cubby Bear isn't my cup of tea.

This was the good ole days, before the damn yuppies took over.

Jimmy and Tai's Wrigleyville Tap was the real baseball and punk bar R.I.P.

Cubby Bear has changed even more. A few years ago they made it super trendy, but the rock shows are there almost nightly still. Lots of bands go through there. Too bad they got rid of the mystique of the classic old corner bar.

Thanks George Lucas (Owner). By the very early 80's The Bookings were way more varied than slam punk. Many Alternative Rock (inc. Dare i say New Wave) & etc Bands inc. National acts, always very well attended. Sue Miller (Pre West End/Lounge Ax) & Cindy Illig were a Big part of the Bookings! Many Fun Great Music nights. bohemia & (Jim) Desmond Band were some of my favs & many Live music clubs in the area then, Caberet Metro (Thanks Joe S), Tuts, Jamies, to name a few. Best, a safe non slam Pogo Dancer.

The Babe would have dug it.

I was at this show. Wish they would have interviewed me. Sox were the 83 Division Champions and I would have loved to have pointed that out. Screw the Cubs!

why the hell is this in black and white?

wtf... Boy George at the end? LOL

They didn't invent color television until 1985.

"F*ck the Cubs, we need more clubs"!
