thank you for this thread - crying...
This thread has music + youth + anti-fascism, and brought a tear to my eye...
I strongly suggest, BTW, if you have any interest at all in all kinds of rock, jazz and other styles in terms of live recordings done in Chicago from the 80s until, well, now, you follow @ajcproject.mas.to.ap.brid.gy on here. Lots more shows being uploaded all the time. More here from last year:
