A ferocious snapshot of Bad Brains at CBGB, 1982, this performance captures the band at the peak of their creative power, tearing through breakneck hardcore punk and sliding into dub-reggae with breathtaking intensity. Fueled by unstoppable energy and a crowd that felt every second, this legendary show helped define a new standard in American hardcore while highlighting the band’s deep roots in Rasta-influenced rhythm and positive message. It’s raw, chaotic, and unforgettable, the sound of pioneers shaping music history on a tiny New York stage.
