On this day March 19 1986 hardcore punk band Black Flag released their live album Who’s Got the 10 ½. Recorded during a performance at the Starry Night club in Portland Oregon the album captured the raw energy and aggression that made Black Flag one of the most influential bands in the punk scene.
The album featured intense performances of tracks like Slip It In and Gimme Gimme Gimme showcasing the band’s heavy distorted sound and frontman Henry Rollins’ commanding stage presence. It was one of the last releases before Black Flag disbanded later in 1986.
80s insight: The album’s title Who’s Got the 10 ½ is a reference to the shoe size of Black Flag’s guitarist Greg Ginn.
