Saw the Dead Kennedy’s when I was in HS at a basement hotel club in Baltimore, 2’ tall stage. I’ve been to over a hundred concerts in my life and that show was top 5.
Saw the DK's in '84 at The Sancho Brothers Ballroom in El Paso. Jello said it was nice to be in a city where fast food places still has hanging plants. Nobody has Jello's voice. Fantastic show!
No he doesn't?! He's gone from hater of government to democrat puppet. He wrote government flu ffs now he does videos begging people to listen to the government get vaccines and vote for kamala. Guys a loser.
The Cramps' version is actually a cover. The original is from 1962 by Ronnie Cook. You can find it here on TH-cam. I was really shocked when I found out about this. The Cramps did a great job of updating it.
@Ted_James With respect; That's not really how that works. A cover is a different interpretation of a recorded song by a different artist than who originally recorded it. You won't hear it discussed this way if you look it up exactly, as that has become complicated, but playing your version of someone else's song that was written by someone else isn't covering the song, that's just doing the number. Most songs in the past were written, composed, arranged and "produced" (word meant a different thing then, musical arrangement, director of recording, foreman for endeavor/venture/investment) by diffrent people and the producer selected a singer and musicians to fill out the roles like casting actors in a movie. If a diffrent record label wanted to sell the song/composition they tasked one of their producers to put together a "cover" of that material (now they have that territory in the market "covered" like a jazz band covers the songbook learning currently often requested standards) So, I mean, playing a songwriters song isn't "covering" it. Ronnie wasn't covering his own song nor would he be covering someone else's if he didn't write it. The Cramps did a cover and with a different interpretation, as you have identified. They (jello and SCOTS are not playing the Ronnie Cook melody or arrangement and it would be The Cramps that could sue if they tried to pass this off as their song for some reason. They are "covering" The Cramps interpretation of the song. If you play "Hey Joe" in the style of Jimi Hendrix you are not "covering" the folk song at all. If you play "All Along the watchtower" in the style of Jimi Hendrix you are not covering Bob Dylan at all, Jimis arrangement and composition are unrelated completely. If you play "Under the greenwood tree" in the style of Donovan you are definitely not covering Shakespeare. If you play John coltranes "favorite things" you are not "covering" Roger's and Hammerstein. You can use the term that way, but writing, composition, arrangemen, and interpretation are still real things so that means there are three instances that are basically unrelated that you might call "a cover." Basically, if you didn't even know about the original, you can't be said to be accidentally "covering" a song you didn't know exists, as a cover is an intentional competing interpretation of a recorded song or a subsequent reinterpretation of a recorded song. Before recordings there was no "official" set in stone rendition that "made it famous" (usage in operetta and other musical theater existed, and certain bands and performers repertoire was a thing, but that wasn't the same at all) so every version was a interpretation like a "cover" so it only exists as an idea after recorded music. Anyway, point is, you can't reinterpret what you do not know exists. You tell the joke like Richard Pryor, you are telling Richard Pryors joke, the riff might be old as time and he might have stole the working parts, the active ingredient, from Red Fox. But if you are retelling Pryors words it's his work, even if it's derivative material. If you tell Cosbys it's a competing alternative, like a cover version, if you tell Eddie Murphys it's a subsequent interpretation, as covers are often understood since the dynamics of the 60s. Short version: Jello might know that, as he is a pretty decent record collector; but he is singing it exactly like The Cramps, and therefore can only be said to be covering The Cramps. A cover is a rendition of something you have heard. Playing someones sheet music is not a cover, repeating or changing another performers performance or reinterpreting the original that has already been demonstrated is to "cover the material in your repertoire."(or your record labels repertoire) It's not the song. If you do a different version of the painting "the scream" you are not making a new portrait of whoever that person was on the boardwalk somewhere if there ever even was such a person, you are interpreting the known performance/the artwork, not the subject. The painting in all it's idiosyncrasies, not the picture not the subject; which was just reality as it was on that day and over there in that direction or a made up concept that could be realized in multiple fashions.
@@Deselector138 All I said was that the Cramps did not write this song and that they did a great job of updating it, which means that they modernized it (including production) and added their own style to it. They didn't do a note-perfect, period-correct copy of it. Call it what you will; it's still a cover. Or I guess you can call it a remake. Both the Cramps' version and the original by Ronnie Cook are wonderful.
My favorite concert with the original DKs was at UC Berkeley in the basement of Barrington Hall. It was unannounced, and we just happened to be in the area. Unforgettable.
@@BrianM-44041 You don't think 95% of the old punks are "work" ? What planet do you live on? Jello has always been one of the most leftist people on earth.
When I read "The Skids", I couldn't believe that either Jello or Richard Jobson would ever by able to stand aside for one song. Sadly, it wasn't those Skids.
Saw the Dead Kennnedys in Chicago 1985 at The Palacio. Frankenchrist tour. I got a flyer & ticket stub still from that show. Jello & I had a lot more hair then...
Omg!! Scots, Jello, and Cramps!! Now that's something special to witness! Wish I was there.
There's always room for Jello ; )
Nope he got way to fat. There's usually a max capacity for everything.
That voice is unmistakable.
Jello Biafra, Joey Ramone, Danny Vapid, Klaus Nomi, and Morrissey - Those are the five voices in music that really hit the spot for me.

I love how he did Lux but in a Jello way.

I hope Jello knows is loved so much around the world. Great man who sticks to his principles!
No he doesn't?! He's gone from hater of government to democrat puppet. He wrote government flu ffs now he does videos begging people to listen to the government get vaccines and vote for kamala. Guys a loser.
The DK's were one of the most iconic bands of the era. I've got the vinyl.
@@daltonthomas901 same.

@surfsupwiththegetdown opened the show & I got to live my Poison Ivy Rorschach dreams with SCOTS and Jello 🎸🤩 ✨🏁

Barrington Hall. Haven't heard that name since the 80's. I used to buy all of my drugs there.
Jello Interior?
Wow i met all these guys back around '92. We are are so old and irrelevent.
Jello looking like Phantom of the Opera, but he still gots it!🤘🏼💀
This is great. Go jello!
It was such an unexpected treat when Jello took the stage the night before…even following the entrance of Vincent Price at Bottom of the Hill!
What a pearl!!! Gara lovit!!!
Thank yo! Jello! Luv ya man!
Brilliant!
The Scots and Jello. That’s too much pork for that fork! Covering the Mighty Cramps as well. I wish I was there.
There's always room for Jello.....
Something disturbing about seeing an old and fat Jello--but still got love
@@CritterNutz everyone gets old and fat no biggie

Didn't Carlos Guitarlos play with these guys for a spell?
Were you outside when you recorded this?

Is Guantanamo School of Medicine in business?
This reminded me of the B-52’s😂
The jello is jiggling
SKIDS N Jello
It was only a matter of time
Professor of Rock double on drums...🤔🤣
His voice actually sounds kinda like the right

Who's the blonde chick?
Hay un perro al que le pisaron la pata por ahí, después no se escucha un carajo😂
Isn't this a Cramps song.
Yes
No. The Cramps cover is the most widely known. Ronnie Cook and The Gaylads first did 'Goo Goo Muck.'
And I see where he withheld royalties from his band
Lol!
Jello is all about raging against the machine except when its an ATM 🏧
Awhooooooooo9e
If you leave jello sit out too long it always turns into a puddle of yuck
Play "Love Shack" next. Horrible!
This is not a place for Swifties Kevin.

No
Taken your boosters, Jello? 😂
