DC Space . Buff Hall . 9:30 Club
DVD (Dischord)
Release Date: 24 November 2003
Minor Threat played one of their last shows at Washington DC's 9:30 club in June of 1983 (they would only play once more in DC). Their performance was video-taped for a documentary about the local punk scene, but the documentary project fell apart and the tapes were left on the shelf. Two years later, the tapes of the 9:30 show were edited together and Dischord Records released the results as the Minor Threat Live Video in 1986.
In 2002, Dischord started work on releasing the 9:30 show on DVD, which involved going back to the source tape and cleaning up the picture and sound, as well as finding other materials. Along with the 40 minute 9:30 performance, the DVD includes a 35 minute video of a 1982 Minor Threat show in Camden, New Jersey; a 12 minute clip of Minor Threat's second ever show at DC Space in December 1980; and excerpts from a 1983 interview with vocalist, Ian MacKaye
