This is the oldest video that I have of THE LOCUST, a professionally shot live show from Umea, Sweden in 1996.  This was long before the costumes, back when everyone in the band was still super young and the only records the band had out was the two splits, one with Man Is The Bastard, and the other with Jenny Piccolo.  The video and audio can leave a bit to desired, but still, the fact that it was a pro recording helps it all hold up.  There are a ton of old songs, so if you like old Locust, you’ll love this.  Plus there are lots of funny / awkward comments from Justin Pearson.  “The only good thing in life is youth, if you don’t have that, you don’t have anything”.  I wonder how Justin Pearson feels about a statement like that now.  Of course, back at this time, I thought the exact same thing.  I didn’t trust anyone over 25!  Now I don’t trust anyone under 25!  Anyhoo, this video is wicked, so watch it.
