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

Witness Bad Brains at a crossroads in their evolution. This two-LP collection documents the pioneering punk-reggae outfit during their Washington D.C. era, capturing performances from The Bayou in 1980 and 1981—years before their influential 1982 self-titled album and their eventual move to New York. These archival recordings, never before released, emerged from a turbulent period when the band faced local resistance yet continued to forge their revolutionary sound. Mastered by Don Zientara from original session tapes and pressed on 180-gram vinyl, this limited edition represents Time Traveler Recordings' first venture beyond jazz, offering an invaluable window into Bad Brains' formative creative period and their lasting legacy in punk and reggae.
