Bad Brains - Live At The Bayou: Washington D.C. July 14, 1980 March 15, 1981 [2LP] [RSD Black Friday 2025]

Pre-dating the band’s 1982 self-titled debut, Live at the Bayou showcases some of the earliest live performances from Bad Brains. 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 2LP was transferred from the original tapes and mastered by Don Zientara.
