what songs did they play?

I wouldn't go see them just because Jello,to me,IS DK.

Mmm I dunno. I don't remember the whole set list. But eh:
Holiday In Cambodia
Viva Las Vegas
**** Off Nazi Punk(got hit hard in the pit on that one...poor nose of mine :'()
Kill The Poor

Eh the usual, good hits. Great show none the less.

any songs off of FFFRV?

Pretty much the whole tracklist, not including a couple.

awesome. i hope the play Corpus Christi Tx, they did a couple of years go.

[QUOTE=combatrock*bass]so its worth seeing them i take it. what songs did they play. and does Jeff sound anything like Jello?[/QUOTE]

Hell yeah its worth seeing. He sounded kinda like jello but he had as much energy as jello and he was crowd surfing just as jello would do. He was comical. They played all the classics my friend: Kill the Poor, holiday in cambodia, Nazi punks **** off, Chemical Warfare, MTV Get off the air and more..more.. They came out for three encores. They played alot. Jeff Penalty i thought anyways was really good.

I wonder if they will show their faces in the Bay Area...

I don't see how anyone could say Jeff is as good as Jello.

would you go see them?

Probably not, mainly because its extreamly hard for me to get to SF where shows are, but if I was able to and it wasn't expensive, I would.

in 02 i belive. they played in Corpus Chrisiti which is only 2 hours away from my house and the place they played out is right in the heart of downtown so it would have been easy to find. but i didnt listen to DK in 02.

in 02 they had Cruz, who is was really horrible, he is the one in the bootleg I have.

you havent heard Penatly, am i correct?

Nope, never heard him. Not as many bootlegs of newer stuff as there is old stuff, at least what I can find.

Jeff Penalty and the Dead Kennedys
 

Being a huge DK fan I made my way down to florida to see them play with new vocalist Jeff Penalty of [I]stupid ferrets[/I] fame. They really blew me away, I was expecting penalty to let me down but he sounded painfully similar to Jello.

When they first came out, most of the crowd boo'd him and threw vegetables, but once they actually got into the set everyone seemed to forget that they were supposed to hate him.

Although seeing the original Dead Kennedys would've been a lot better, I figured I'd let everyone know that they're still definately worth checking out.

Klaus is so fu[I]c[/I]king old, and east bay ray looks like McJagger.

He sounds like Jello?

Cool maybe all the people who suck Jello's dick will realize that he's not that great and can be replaced.

He does actually well sound like Jello and i thought he was really good live.

Jello should never have been replaced and the band should have ended when it did. Either way, do they still play the classics?

What did they end the show with?

I read the first 6 pages to see if i could find the answer there, but i gave up.

How did they get the name Dead Kennedys? Does it have anything to do with JFK?

DK is awesome, i like FFFRV. Jello is one of my favorite and most influential singers.

My guess is to be offensive.

Just an offensive name I guess, because the Kennedys do die off pretty fast.

ah...ok. Personally, if i wanted to offend people, i'd call it the Dead Presidents/ Deap Popes/ Dead Celebrity.

But they're more awesome than me, so theyre name is better.

I read somewhere that nobody in the band actually came up with the name..

a friend of theirs came up with "dead kennedys."

ohhh and I got "dead kennedys" tickets for the London Ontario show august 11th..should be quite interesting.


to anyone whos attended one of these reunion shows..

what are the set-lists like?

They ended the set with bleed for me, they played just about everything off of plastic surgery disasters and FFFRV and Too drunk to ****.

They even played [I]tallahassee[/I] uber-alles because it was in florida.

Great set, they play all oldies by the way.

I want to see them play man with the dogs.
