Words by Mike “Bones” Hammond
My 1st Bad Brains show was in 1981 when they opened for the Clash at Bonds in NYC. They were so intense and the energy in that room was crazy. Those kind of shows and that one especially moved us and many others to start bands. Two years later my 1st Band CIA along with Lost Generation opened for the Bad Brains at POGO’s in our home town of Bridgeport Connecticut. We got to meet them and hang out with them after the show. The next day we all drove together to NYC for one of the Sunday matinee’s.
I went on to see so many other Bad Brains/ Soul Brains shows over the years with other singers and other drummers but nothing was like seeing the 4 original members. Most recent I took my son to CBGBs on 2/24/06 to see them with John Joseph and Mackie although the power and energy was there it was still missing something. I wanted my son to see the Bad Brains the way I saw them the 1st time so when I saw that they were playing this Boat show I had to take him. Well all 4 original members were there but HR just didn’t have the energy anymore and he lost it for some time now. It was still great to see them all together and it was great to see both of those shows with my son. I will still go to see the Bad Brains every chance I get because they are one of the most amazing band ever.
