Item Description
8.5x11" photocopy (xerographic print) on thin white stock produced before the show for promotion. Bold literal graphic promoting "Live Black Flag New Wave Rock From L.A." at the "Long Goodbye" on April 21 in Portland, OR. This gig was part of Black Flag's first West Coast tour venturing out of the Los Angeles area for the first time. Only trivial handling wear. NM, file copy quality. With Keith Morris having left the band guitarist, Greg Ginn, bassist Chuck Dukowski, and drummer Roberto "ROBO" Valverde recruited Ron Reyes to become the singer. Reyes stayed long enough to record the Jealous Again single and make an appearance in the documentary film The Decline of Western Civilization. Reyes left the band mid-performance a little more than a month after this show, replaced by Dex Cadena before Henry Rollins joined in 1981. Considered the first hardcore punk band, it is fascinating to see the promoters pushing them as "New Wave Rock" in the early days as the group built its cult following.
