Weirdos - rehearsal, lives shows and demo 1977/1978/1989

The Weirdos are my favorite American Punk band so I thought I'd do a big Weirdos post. They existed between 1977 and 1981 and in that time they released only two 7" singles and two 12" ep. It wasn't until 1989 when they regrouped that they finally released an LP. It is unfortunate for the world of music that they did not get to release an LP in 1978 because it would have been a treasured classic. They certainly had the songs for it. The rehearsal and the Whiskey show have been bootleged up and down the world but thought I'd put them up anyways. The Gold Bear show has one song I can't title. Anyone know it? This version of Barbaric Americana is the same one that is on the Weird World vol. 2 CD. These Condor rough mixes are much better here than the final release.

    Anon., is you show from the bootleg LP or from an old tape? I got my tape in 1984 and I've never seen a copy back then that had more than 9 songs. There wasn't a noticeable tape break on my tape so perhaps some enterprising bootlegger thought a bootleg album would look better with 5 songs per side than 5 and 4. Maybe that version of Why Do You Exist comes from some other show. Bootleggers have been known to do that. But, who knows.
