What I'm listening to today: Rage Against The Machine - First Public Performance Full Concert (HQ)

This is a fixed-camera video of Rage's first concert, in 1991. For a show that happened before the first album was even cut, performed a few months after recording their first demo, everything is remarkably well-formed. These are some of the Rage songs you already know -- even a nascent version of Killing in the Name, which wouldn't get a complete release for five years -- and they absolutely rock. Rage had the chops from day one. What an amazing thing to just wander across these dudes playing at a college, right as they were on the cusp of superstardom.
