Live at the Bayou showcases some of the earliest live performances from Bad Brains, and pre-dates the bands 1982 self-titled debut. A snapshot of the bands burgeoning beginnings, these previously unreleased recordings from 1980 and 1981 recorded at The Bayou in Washington DC, were captured between the band being unofficially banned in DC and relocating to NYC – a historically significant time in the band’s career. This is the first non-jazz release by the newly formed Time Traveler Recordings. The limited-edition 180-gram 2-LP was transferred from the original tapes and mastered by Don Zientara. Limited to 2,500 copies!
