DEAD KENNEDYS - Forward To Death 1981

Fantastic bootleg from the best American punk band all the time. Some releases have on the back cover a sticker with -Live In USA-, but I think that these recordings are from a gig in Stuttgart. Proof of this is that I once had a tape with the same songs and there stood: Live in Stuttgart, 14.November 1981, next Jello use the word Stuttgart in the song 'Bleed For Me' and why he should mention in the U.S. the word Stuttgart? And last but not least, the audience screams really 'Zugabe' and Heino is coming along and that can only be in Germany, right? The recordings are quite excellent and Jello's announcements about the songs is on world's top. This bootleg is by far the best of the Dead Kennedys (apart from the fact that the last song unfortunately breaks off in the middle...but Fuck!, that's the deal with bootlegs). As a small little bonus, I've packed the two songs from the flexi 'Give Me Convencience Or Give Me Death' LP in it. You must be satisfied.

Man With The Dogs/Forward To Death/Kepone Factory/Life Sentence/Trust Your Mechanic Moral Majority/Forest Fire/Winnebago Warrior/Police Jerk/Bleed For Me/Holiday In Cambodia Let's Lynch The Landlord/Chemical Warfare/Nazi Punks Fuck Off/Bigger Problem Now/Too Drunk To Fuck
