Beautiful performance. Original. Ted's guitar dissonance mixed with the simplistic drum and bass (which is locked) made this version of Flipper ICONIC. A mixture of acid rock, 77 punk and free jazz...🤟🏾
I loved the fact that they played with every hardcore band back in the day and they were nothing like any of them. The sound they achieve on this is absolutely astonishing. Totally memorable performance.
Very amused at the fact that Will Shatter is playing a fretless bass during this performance. Steve DePace told me that Will had bought the bass just to confuse Ted Falconi.
I have one band tattoo and it's the Flipper logo on my calf. They are the soundtrack to a lot of fucked up good times and lots of late nights. This is so good.
You could attain balance and keep contemporary by getting a Cows tattoo on your uther calf....😉Srsly though, I didn't even get Flipper in my hardcore days, couple songs but beyond that, too slow, so no. I like to think that I went on to gain a vaster musical understanding etc. Sounds more sophisticated than "insufficiently fried."
lol funny. It’s still not as bad as these assholes running around with full face tattoos. I call them cattle because they’ve been branded and traded lol
The kings. I became a good musician, despite idolizing them. Maximum Rock n Roll reviewed my first band, and panned us saying we played Flipperesque dirges. I was so proud.
Wow, I have this on VHS, bought it long long ago. Finally saw them about 1990 in Fort Collins, CO at a roller rink that was bright lit attended by about 40 people with their next bassist John Dougherty. They played a set and then went in the back to play pool and didn't seem to interested in playing anymore so my friend and I went up on the stage. I grabbed Ted's guitar and my friend took the mic and Steve (the drummer) and John played some songs with us (Life, and a couple more, I don't remember). Steve was real nice and wanted to play. John was fucked up and willing. Bruce and Ted kept playing pool. Even though I could play ok I just made noise on the guitar, pulling off full barred frets and junk as off time as I could manage and it sounded ok. It was one of the top 37 highlights of my life. Love this band.
In the 38 years I've been loving Flipper,these versions are still the best. Bruce's stage presence during Sacrifice gives an insight into how brilliant and criminally underrated they were. And Will's In Your Arms and Shine still gets me everytime. Shame they didn't do Shed No Tears but then nothing can be perfectly perfect can it. Ted: "Will wishes he could have a mohawk." Will: "My hairs not working."😂😂😂
Here in UK in 1983 my friend & I loved Flipper and I still have all their early vinyl. The natural successors to PiL . When the whole world wants to play & sing in tune & serve up all old R n R cliches, admiring chops etc. For me Flipper were one of the purest expression of Punk Music and attitude.
Hmm. First one that comes to mind is off of Public Flipper Limited. Life has a sax playing in it, and Shine has like a bunch of saxes in it, and I want to say something else i couldn't quite identify, Apparently, it was common for Flipper to bring people on stage for a song or to and rock out, Legend has it, one show, a guy with a bassoon was up there. Other shows not limited to.. On Broadway, San Francisco, 5/22/82 th-cam.com/video/bHJSp8VhC8E/w-d-xo.html On Broadway, San Francisco, 2/18/82 th-cam.com/video/IhdyIfPcrKA/w-d-xo.html And I'm sure some of the other shows I put up here has some more instances of saxophone. THink I have around 25 shows on this channel total. Thanks for listening!
Thanks for answering! I knew about Public Flipper Limited, I was talking about them doing songs that have sax in the studio version as well. But I will check those out!
Turn up the bass on your system when you listen to this. Then drink a bottle of NyQuill, 3 shots of espresso, turn it up loud, and throw yourself around your apartment. Just like being there.
Wonder if Ted's still working at soundwave. I remember a while ago during my being a strung out piece of shit days, Ted saw me grab some half smoked ciggys to roll into a cigarette, said if it's coming down to that, I'm better off without it. And being an youngish ignorant shit at the time, just sat there like fuck you Ted, you were in flipper. But my friend playing bass in most of the bands I tried to get going worked the weekend shift so we'd see Ted doing his rounds, tending to all the plants around the warehouse. Awesome dude all around.
Some great versions here, Shine,In Your Arms, Sacrifice...The list goes on. If only Shed No Tears was on this set list. Can't have everything I suppose.
Loved how they really slowed down on this version. Showed this version to my friend and he thought it was doom, he was looking the band on metal archives 😂
Flipper in reno 1990 3 of us the bartender and a biker bad ass show they threw their set list away and said well u guys fuck the set list u tell us what u guys want us to play.
An entirely different scene back then. The music was much more experimental and musical, a lot more creative. Then came the ones who just played fast and loud, and bad composition. Even the attitude reflected it. a whole different era.
That's Bruce Loose, or Bruce Lose, as he was originally known. He sang for them until.... the early 2010s I think, when his back got so bad he couldn't really perform anymore. The other singer is Will Shatter. He left the band in 87 and died shortly thereafter from an accidental heroin overdose.
Why did they ruin it and fuck up the visuals for Shine? FFS! Epic version though. Sometimes I play people Flipper and they look at me as if I'm insane (and apparently I look like Bruce lol)The most original band of that scene imho.
Hi, does anyone own one of those flipper tuna can's that Def American used to promote america grafishy kicking around for sale? I use to have one, but mine got damaged in a move. I have spent the last 7 years looking everywhere for one. If you have one hit me up here.

@doberfag appreciate that 👍
I was there, too! Same experience! I used to stand in front of the amp and let the sound waves vibrate through my body.
Anybody see the Aquatic Park Berkeley show... 80-83 ?
Great stuff. Only Flipper can catch desperation, indifference, love and contempt in every song.
You nailed it.
❤
Very amused at the fact that Will Shatter is playing a fretless bass during this performance. Steve DePace told me that Will had bought the bass just to confuse Ted Falconi.
I've seen this before but just noticed upon this viewing that he had a fretless bass.
I did not know the bass was playable without frets! That is cool!
@@OmegaRedFan Fretless basses have been a thing for several decades. Jaco Pastorius is the reason for that.
CJ Marsicano one of my favorite bands is Broken Social Scene. They utilize the fretless bass as well.
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!
I have one band tattoo and it's the Flipper logo on my calf. They are the soundtrack to a lot of fucked up good times and lots of late nights. This is so good.
i have one and its the strokes and its tattooed on my face. jail is getting more and more fun tho

I spent many a strange night listening to Flipper’s Generic album.
that's the way of the world
@@frensunited3748a Sacrifice I’m willing to make!
Watched this on acid with some friends a few years back, when Shine came on my face was melting into the carpet and the flesh stripped from my bones
Greatest punk band ever.
More punk than any mowhawk costumed performance artists! flipper is god! Also best version of Sacrifice I’ve heard yet.
Here in UK in 1983 my friend & I loved Flipper and I still have all their early vinyl. The natural successors to PiL . When the whole world wants to play & sing in tune & serve up all old R n R cliches, admiring chops etc. For me Flipper were one of the purest expression of Punk Music and attitude.
Yes 🙌
Agreed. All the more a trip that Steve Vai played guitar on PiL "Album."
If you told people to play like Flipper they'd refuse and assume you were insane for asking
Thanks a lot for uploading this in full. Flipper kicks serious ass.
Got 12-15 more Flipper shows to upload over the next few weeks too. Thanks for listening!
Sweet! Love Flipper. You wouldn't happen to have one where they have saxs? Ive seen pictures but never actually heard audio of them live with a sax
Hmm. First one that comes to mind is off of Public Flipper Limited.

These guys and Dead Kennedys sure know how to have fun while performing live.

This is the best, thanks for sharing. RIP Will Shatter

i wish talking heads decided to sound like this instead of doing the fela kuti type beats
the wonnderful scrawling noise of it all. Truly genius. RIP.
Some great versions here, Shine,In Your Arms, Sacrifice...The list goes on. If only Shed No Tears was on this set list. Can't have everything I suppose.
Flipper still rules ok
I showed this band to a friend in college, he hated them. He called me weird and said I have weird music tastes.
The Conspiracy Killer ehhh his loss, flipper is a great band
Fine!
i really appreciate the fact that this was recorded on jan 26 and was uploaded on jan 26 lmao thank you for that
julie b i'm just glad they posted Flipper live, in all their disgusted, mulish rage and glory.
Jupiter returns
This is the perfect soundtrack to this piece of shit world.
Fuck yeah!
sacrifice and shine are my favorite flipper songs. sex bomb is pretty entertaining.
This rendition of "in life my friends" is scorching
I love Flipper. Always will.
Is that John Hall from King Missle introducing the video?
Holy fucc not one dislike. This is history
One of my favorite bands. So heavy. 👍
I had a Flipper Live hits CD.
Way of the world, Shine, and other songs here are on it!
To be played at max vol whilst consuming endless alcoholic beverages
flipper? i hardly know her.
I Used to graffiti the flipper fish on stuff
Me too 👍🏻
This version of shine is so fucking good
Thanks for this underrated find.
:0)
Every version of (I Saw You) Shine sounds to me like it is the excruciatingly slowest version ever. Of any song.
Loved how they really slowed down on this version. Showed this version to my friend and he thought it was doom, he was looking the band on metal archives 😂
Flipper protested protesting.
the best of the best
maan, this is HUGE.
Just adore this sound
Flipper is the answer.
I love that there are 0 dislikes!
(the first person to dislike this will be struck by lightning)
HA HA HA!
@@lukecancer5980 Ho Ho Ho! Hee Hee Hee!
The mabuhay, stale beer and cloves. The golden years
Perfection.
So Rad!!!
The interview lady sucks
I have this on the original vhs
So cool man
10:45
Here is what you have come for my people
Will Shatter reminds me of Lee Harvey Oswald
Everything reminds me of my dog.
Go! Oswald get away!
these interviews are so ridiculous. I feel like Im watching a sketch from a comedy show
Even in 1983 Social justice "so cal" crew cut hair ladies were a thing.
Fucking AMAZING! Thanks Man!!
Flipper in reno 1990 3 of us the bartender and a biker bad ass show they threw their set list away and said well u guys fuck the set list u tell us what u guys want us to play.

Id pay $5000 to be there, all I got
Flipper.
The only band that was so bad, you HAD to witness them.
bad?
So bad, they were geniuses.
@@FullmetalArchivist exactly!!
@@batterycock I had a friend tell me Not to listen to Flipper. That's how "bad" they are to people.
This band has big influence on kurt cobain
This is so badass, it hurts.
Whos the singer in the first half? I always liked that singer most.
That's Bruce Loose, or Bruce Lose, as he was originally known. He sang for them until.... the early 2010s I think, when his back got so bad he couldn't really perform anymore. The other singer is Will Shatter. He left the band in 87 and died shortly thereafter from an accidental heroin overdose.
Soon to be 40 years old!
Fuckin Epic
You Rule, OK!
What happened to him? OD??
Will Shatter? Yes, accidental heroin overdose.
Why did they ruin it and fuck up the visuals for Shine? FFS! Epic version though. Sometimes I play people Flipper and they look at me as if I'm insane (and apparently I look like Bruce lol)The most original band of that scene imho.
ruth is really cute
Ruth?
Yes Ruth's hot !!! I knew that was her she got a avengers look sexy!! Hi Ruth !!!
...and inane....
The singer looks like Daniel Larson
Hi, does anyone own one of those flipper tuna can's that Def American used to promote america grafishy kicking around for sale? I use to have one, but mine got damaged in a move. I have spent the last 7 years looking everywhere for one. If you have one hit me up here.
should have kept the damaged can. more valuable that way
Would have, had there been anything left of the can lol!
The aardvark 😝
Heroin!!!!!!!!!
wow will is pretty modern for a dead guy{
Better than trap rap.
Relax unc
For a band that played so uncompromisingly, and almost in an anti-music way, Get Away is a total ear candy tune
It's a shame the guitars are out of tune on this performance
Aren’t they always? Lol I thought that was their appeal
They were never not
At this point they probably do it on purpose.
'If you're gonna play it out of tune, then play it out of tune properly' - Mark E Smith
Exactly what Flipper did, Flipper rules
@@grzegorznapkine4073 At what point, the beginning middle and end?
Bass player and drummer sound great ,guitarist seems wasted and out of tune at times.
Imagine that it is freaking flipper of course the guitarist is wasted and out tune
That's literally the point
That out of tune WALL is their trademark of horrendous torture
@@cdavis5859 actually the point
Now you understand. And it gets worse (better) as the song goes along.
