Album Review

This is the only official live video from Minor Threat, and it lives up to the band's spare, spastic style. A young Ian MacKaye leads his pals through a frenzied set at the 9:30 Club in D.C. The group races through classics like "Out of Step" and "In My Eyes," which, by 1983, were well-known throughout the underground. MacKaye, guitarist Lyle Preslar, bassist Brian Baker, and drummer Jeff Nelson broke up not long after this show. The video actually begins with the Minor Threat theme song played at D.C. Space, only its second show. There are no interviews or behind-the-scenes footage; just the all-out hardcore that made them legendary, and a snazzy lyrics booklet. ~ Ron DePasquale, Rovi
