Fugazi - And The Same (live, 1993)

Each one gets different facets of the band, but I think that this recording captures something essential about Fugazi in the same way that the incredible 1988 video of Waiting Room does.

They stop the song to call out someone starting a fight on the floor, then roll right back into it. I want to use words like “soaring” and “epic” to describe the chorus here. One could argue that the “post-hardcore” label emerged because “hardcore” is nowhere close to big enough to contain what bands like Fugazi did.

As a historical note, this is from the 1993 run at the Roseland in New York where the band reportedly turned down a ten million dollar offer to sign with Atlantic Records.

And The Same by Fugazi - Great live track!  The more I dig into the music and the band, the more I realized I missed.
