Just saw the DKs in Boston a few hours ago, still coming down from the show--it rocked SO hard. Klaus Flouride is taking a break and a guy named Greg Reeves is filling in and man, holding the torch high---what looked like an old Bassman head with an SVT 8x10, 70's jazz I think--he and DH were SMOKING and the bass sound was massive!
Might have to drive to NYC to catch it again! |

My arse let's go. They're filming midgets. | | Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: 相模原,Japan | | | yea, the band had a major (court case) falling out in the late 90's. Biafra was kind of a dick and tried to short the rest of the band $ on royalties. The band won. So if klaus is gone, it is just Ray and Peligro O.G., and Greer on vocals, reeves on bass. |

Kinda like when I saw van halen with gary cherone as the front man. It was hilarious to hear the crowd taunt him by singing "more than words" every time they stopped playing.  |

| | | Whatever on the party-poopers. People spend more time hating than not these days 'cause it's so easy. Pffft. I'm sick of all the negative energy. Besides, nobody does their homework before they start flinging mud these days (for example, read this: http://www.hellbound.ca/2010/09/scot...und-interview/ )
I saw a killer show, heard iconic songs (with two certifiable icons), really great playing by all and got my money's worth. The packed house seemed to agree too. |

DK to me has to be the lineup I liked and played on the albums I have..but thats me.

On topic, I saw them a half-dozen times in various SF/bay area dives back in the day- life-changing stuff.
Edit: I'm usually pretty picky but I'd go see a band calling themselves the Dead Kennedeys w/half(or so)of the original lineup. if I saw a TBer I'd buy them a brew
