[kj] Live KJ cover from 1987: I was there...

[Rheinhold Squeegee]

Well, to his credit, I imagine he had limited access to things like tabs, tunings, etc. for an obscure non-LP UK-only single track by a band maybe a few dozen people in the area had heard of at the time.

Or he could just have sucked; I'm no guitarist.

;)

Credit for their music taste, but the guitarist on the left is utterly butchering the song...

Jim.

 Killing Joke-related but with a backstory, so bear with
 me. This has to be one of the oldest live KJ covers
 available, unless someone in the UK wants to prove me wrong.





 I went to college in Moorhead, Minnesota (just across the
 river from Fargo, North Dakota - THAT Fargo). In 1987 a
 pre-fame Soul Asylum (remember them?) played Kirby's, my
 local college bar, along with fellow Minneapolis band Gear
 Daddies and a Moorhead group
  named Model Citizen. The entire show was videotaped and has
 been available on YouTube for years but I never bothered to
 listen to the Model Citizen portion until tonight and fuck me
 if they didn't play "A New Day" among all
  their other punk and new wave covers. I was at the show
 (standing house right just out of camera) and wouldn't
 have recognized it as a KJ tune at the time because I had
 never heard it. It was never released on an album and the
 import singles were hard to come
  by out in the sticks.





 Anyway, 29
 years later, here you go:
