I must have seen GI 6 or 7 times. Dischord bands were absolutely unmatched in energy and stage presence. GI left it all out there every time I saw them. Stabb was truly unique.
If anyone is actually interested in getting together to just jam and cover some GI songs from "you" and "crash", please let me know.... admin76at g-male daht cahm.... I'm serious. don't get me wrong, I am a HUGE FAN of everything that has come before those two albums. It's just that Peter and Jay had a connection that was simply untouchable...
Wish you lived around the South East... I already know all those songs on the drums.. well since I was like 9 yrs. old... Cheers to you guys man! --wolfegang76

John Stabb - vocals
Tom Lyle - guitar
John Leonard - bass
Marc Alberstadt - drums
So many absolute belters. Class stuff.
Back in the early 80's these guys rocked I was always playing their records. It's cool how that 80's sound Gov Issue created is still awesome in 2022!
John Stabb is so weird.
And his weirdness made this world so much better.
Thank you John
Unf**kingbelievable. Absolutely electrifying. These guys were amazing live. My favorite band ever. Led Zeppelin is a close #2.
Could have kept led dinosaur a secret.....
@@mammawombwomb right? dude told on himself 😆
Always loved this band's sound.
I love that guitar I miss john too rip
RIP John Stabb
He's dead?
John stabb passed away in April 2016. Last I saw him in person was at the black cat.
Rip John Stabb. The government issue music lives on.
I'm glad someone had the sense to film this!
Word!
First heard this band on the John peel show.
The Kings of DC
GI in their prime 🔥🔥🔥🔥 RIP Stab
When Peter and Jay joined forces on "you" and "crash", that was history.... My two favorite albums ever! Just a guy...

They were godhead live in '85. Saw them then. I was 20. Unreal.
Marc Alberstadt, was amazing too! Where are all these guys now? Why was GI never mentioned in the Documentary 'American Hardcore?????????????????'
Really????????
Just saying.... me
+wolfegang76 the american hardcore documentary absolutely sucked as did the book
wolfegang76 maybe cause they were considered emo core possibly
Alberstadt was absolutely great, their second drummer Moffett as well.
@@goregore6259 dood -- emo core wasn't a term back then... haha
@@wolfegang76 maybe, maybe not. Either way, I wouldn't consider them hardcore completely.
I miss Stabb :(
damn~!!!
"Motley Crue!" @ 13:08
saw them do an encore set with Naked Raygun at the original 9:30 club -- 930 F street.
Good God....
I'm just mad...mademoiselle.
