Those two guys in '85

An evening with Ian MacKaye and Henry Rollins @ DC Space 10/17/85. Ian tells stories, plays piano and and then is joined by Henry and they tell the story of how they met along with the legendary Hagen Daz and Pet Store tall-tales.

Considering recording quality the time lapsed (and times played) the sound is still pretty good. The second set tape ends just as Henry gets going and the b-side of the tape is blank, probably for the best.

The real cherry here is Ian's piano playing which I think you'll find especially wonderful.

These were passed to me by a close friend many many moons ago and should be preserved and shared.
