What's not to love? The longstanding clown princes of punk. They still put on a great show, even 40+ years later. Only the humorless don't love the Dickies.
To all the young punk rockas carrying the cause and the to the veterans who know this from their experience-if you have to decide on a band to see live and The Dickies are in that mix -just remember "you cannot go wrong with seeing "The Dickies"! If I could I would personally guarantee that with a refund!
I keep wondering if that's his real name. I know lots of people that get famous don't want their personal life impinged upon so they only publicize a pseudonym. That's so good that you got to go to a Dickies concert. Did any other bands play the same stage that night?
Know who I got to see from your part of the planet: Sham 69 and GBH , very excellent! 🍻 S69 opened for Bad Religion and GBH with Murphy's Law🥳😬😵💫😄 They were 2 separate nights and venues.
Gotta say- The live video and the studio tracks line up nicely. Gotta love The Dickies. Just those hollow pauses between songs... I do feel 16 again. So good!
What great quality. First time I saw them was 83 at the Galaxy Roller Rink in Fullerton! Saw them again at Olympic Auditorium, Fenders, Country Club, Cypress College and Roller Dome in Placentia!!! One of the best bands to see live!!!! Do it before they are gone for good!!!!!!!!!
Independent I didn't go to see them, but you were local then. I saw Social Distortion at Ichabods in Fullerton 84, I loved the local scene then, The Dickies were one of my favorites
For those wondering who Trisha Toyota is....She was a newscaster in So Cal on NBC 4 evening news. Glad I grew up in So Cal during this period. It was great.
The Dickies ~ Raw Footage (5 songs) 2313pm 11.12.22 wot yer listening to there is two siblings arguing circa 1979... about one of them kicking the other's head in when he gets older. whether that was a literal or psychological kick-in is for one to ponder, i suppose. no idea why the long pauses as they're only miming...
The Dickies ~ Raw Footage (5 songs) 2308pm 11.12.22 i wasnt aware he topped himself. i was always told he converted to christianity or something.. like dylan. maybe that's what being dead means? sad... anyhow; yeah good band great music.
Really like Eve of Destruction from Incredible shrinking Dickies….still got that on orange vinyl and Dawn of the Dickies on blue vinyl from when I was like 15…..41 years ago 🙁
I used to listen to these guys in the 80's riding USA BMX bikes in Sydney Australia the now famous Five Dock Park but back then the bowl and the burns as I referred to it you rode the bowl and jumped the burns anyway....years later I moved to Melbourne and not in my wildest dream would I believe a band so far away I would ever see I was mistaken yep it took over three decades later but the Dickies Live at The Bendigo Hotel at Collingwood I was gob smacked all my dream came true and either before or not long after Agent Orange at the same place now if we could double that gig up and also move it up the road to the Tote no offence Bendigo your place is awesome too well I'm sure we could repeat that Fun once more.....
Yep. This was the line-up the first time I saw them, in either late '81 or early '82. Hufsteter is an amazing guitarist. Having him up there with Stan gave it that extra something. Would have loved to have seen them with Chuck Wagon, but it was right after he killed himself.
@@stevebauer3355 That's Steve Huffsteter , I hope I spelled his name accurately. He was also in the supergood band The Quick. He wrote the song "Pretty, Please Me". There's songs in youtube by The Quick ,you should listen👍
Seen The Dickies 5-6 times between 1979 and 1982, and I always said that a match made in heaven would have been The Dickies and The Buzzcocks on the same bill,, that would have been unreal
There biggest & most fun, they were a fun band, never taken seriously and had some talent "You drive me Ape" was there 15 minutes in the 🌞. I wish they had more...?
Lip syncing on this. But without a doubt, one of the best live bands I have ever seen. I saw them open for the Ramones and I have been a fan ever since.
What's the bandmates' names from Left to right: Stan, Leonard, ________, ________ and the drummer's name is _________ ? and: was this all the first people in the group? Pardon that I didn't know but these guy's first years somewhat preceded me. much Dickies 💜
man see that app mask they have I had one of them when I was a kid my dog hated it he would go mad when I put it on I think it was around the time planet of the apes was out
LA was where it was all happening. NYC had CBGB's and Max's Kansas City. We had Rodney Bingenheimer on KROQ-FM and Bomp Records' retail store on Laurel Canyon Blvd., where all the Punk bands met on Saturday afternoons. Punk clubs were springing up all over LA and Orange Counties: The Masque, Club 88, Cukoo's Nest, Madame Wong's (East & West), Hong Kong Cafe, Atomic Cafe, Perkin's Palace, the Viper Room, and dozens more. For my money, The Dickies, from the San Fernando Valley (Home of too many Valley Girls - or "Vals") were the most original, melodic, and over-the-top bands of the era.
