Dead Kennedys, Regis College, Denver CO, 1985-10-28


This recording of the Dead Kennedys at Regis College has made the rounds.  Probably since the the late 80s in tape trading circles.  The original taper remains unknown as far as I know.  Maybe one of you old school Denver people know.  

On a cursory search I see that it has even made it onto a bootleg vinyl LP.  Other music blogs have it posted, it's on Youtube.  Not hard to find.    I corrected some of the right and left channel balance and cleaned up a few spots and tracked it correctly.  Most versions I've seen out there combine A Child and His Lawnmower & Kill The Poor.  

It's a nice soundboard mix with East Bay Ray's guitar way up in the mix.  Nice clear vocals too.
Jello is full of piss and vinegar and goes on several long spiels.  Being from Colorado himself he talks about the nerve gas at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal.  Talks shit about suburbs name checking Thornton and Apple Meadows in particular.   Classic ear DKs.  Fun stuff. Enjoy.
