Live and Rare

Helmet

On January 27th, 1990, Helmet entered the stage of New Yorks equally famous and infamous CBGBs. What followed was an explosive live show, set during the earliest days of the bands career. Getting ready to release their debut album 'Strap It On' in March that year, Helmet propelled themselves through a staccato-heavy set of tracks that would soon earn them worldwide acclaim in the Punk scene.

 

The first side of this brand-new live album features the CBGBs set for the first time ever on vinyl and CD, while the second half contains an equally energetic performance, recorded in 1993 at the Big Day Out Festival in Melbourne, Australia. With tracks such as "Ironhead," "Better" and "In the Meantime," the set list strikes a perfect balance between the bands hits and hidden gems from their early years.
