Minutemen live @ Berkeley Square in Berkeley CA 21/SEP/1985 (full show)

Merry Chrifsmas everybody! Here's the first show of the Revival for Reagan tour (one of their smaller and lesser known ones). Due to some malfunction with the recording equipment the first song sounds rather crappy, but the sound quality picks up immensely after that. Notables include the first live recording of Courage, Stories, What Is It?, and The Big Stick. This is also the first live recording of the more energetic arrangement of Lost as featured on the album, certainly an improvement in my opinion. Love the extended intro jam on both Mr. Robot's Holy Orders and Joe McCarthy's Ghost, as well as a rather funky rendition of Definitions (last time that tune was played by the original Minutemen lineup). 01. 0:00:00 Courage 02. 0:02:11 Anxious Mo-Fo 03. 0:03:24 Toadies 04. 0:05:05 The Big Foist 05. 0:06:25 Retreat 06. 0:08:39 Corona 07. 0:10:55 Do You Want New Wave or Do You Want the Truth? 08. 0:12:42 King of the Hill 09. 0:15:49 Hey Lawdy Mama (Steppenwolf cover) 10. 0:18:47 The Cheerleaders 11. 0:22:38 Fake Contest 12. 0:24:18 Beacon Sighted Through Fog 13. 0:25:08 The Only Minority 14. 0:26:20 Stories 15. 0:27:55 What Is It? 16. 0:29:42 Mr. Robot Jam 17. 0:30:42 Mr. Robot's Holy Orders 18. 0:32:28 Don't Look Now (It Ain't You or Me) (Creedence Clearwater Revival cover) 19. 0:34:12 Dream Told by Moto 20. 0:36:00 The Big Stick 21. 0:38:17 Lost (Meat Puppets cover) 22. 0:40:39 One Reporter's Opinion 23. 0:42:13 Ack Ack Ack (Urinals cover) 24. 0:42:45 Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love (Van Halen cover) 25. 0:43:25 This Ain't No Picnic 26. 0:45:19 History Lesson - Part II 27. 0:47:36 Little Man With a Gun in His Hand Encore 28. 0:52:00 The Red & The Black (Blue Öyster Cult cover) 29. 0:56:02 Have You Ever Seen the Rain?
