Bad Brains - Live in 1985 @ NYC's Rock Hotel

Bad Brains returned to the stage after having been "broken up" for the better part of 2 years to play two nights at the Jane Street Rock Hotel in New York City on July 19th and 20th 1985. Openers on the 19th were Raw Power and Scab, and the 20th had Cro-Mags and P.M.S.  The shows were filmed with multiple cameras as directed by Nicola Lanzenberg; a Moroccan-born artist and filmmaker who had previously produced Bad Brains' My Picture at the Movies, Baby documentary in 1979. Nicola passed away in 2018. This footage from the 1985 "reunion" shows sees the Brains performing their classic "Rock for Light," as well as "Reignition" (live for the first time). It has never been seen before, except for a brief clip appearing in James Lathos' H.R. documentary, Finding Joseph I.
