Suicide - Ghost Rider Live
One of the truly great punk bands of the 70s and one of the few bands where the word seminal actually means something, If been a fan of Alan Vega and Martin Rev's work since hearing Loop do a cover of Rocket USA back in the late 80s.
From their I got their first LP and never looked back. If you're not familiar with Suicide, imagine an Elvis impersonater singing about life over a broken drum machine and demented wurlitzer keyboards. That pretty much sums up their sound, but the band provide so much more. Kinetic energy, raw nerve shredding vocals and primal screams abound in their unmistakable and much aped repertoire.
I don't know where this clip is from and what date, maybe early 80s? Its the first time I've ever seen Suicide perform live, and Alan Vega seems well into it (and out of it at the same time.) It's a good live version of one of the rawest tracks from the debut album, lots of improvisation and distortion. Smart.
