Bad Brains - Live at the Bayou: Washington D.C. July 14, 1980 / March 15, 1981 [2xLP]

Release Date: November 28, 2025
Label: Time Traveler Recordings

Live at the Bayou showcases some of the earliest live performances from Bad Brains, and pre-dates the band’s 1982 self-titled debut. A snapshot of the band’s burgeoning beginnings, these previously unreleased recordings from 1980 and 1981 recorded at The Bayou in Washington DC, were captured between the band being unofficially “banned in DC” and relocating to NYC - a historically significant time in the band's career. This is the first non-jazz release by the newly formed Time Traveler Recordings. The limited-edition 180g 2-LP was transferred from the original tapes and mastered by Don Zientara. Track List: 1. Supertouch (4:29) 2. Attitude (1:25) 3. 1-2-X-U (1:10) 4. The Big Takeover (3:06) 5. The Man Won't Annoy (2:45) 6. Right Brigade (2:35) 7. Redbone (1:59) 8. Paranoid (1:25) 9. Stay Close (2:38) 10. Pay to Cum (1:34) 11. Suck Sess (1:59) 12. Banned in DC (2:35) 13. I Love I Jah (5:51) 14. I (2:39) 15. At the Movies (3:17)
