Urgh! A Music War is a 1982 cult concert film featuring a raw, energetic 1980 live performance of "We Got the Beat" by The Go-Go's at the famous Whisky a Go Go in Los Angeles.

@historyofpunkrock@sfba.social This was one of the most influential films in my day. Stuck in upstate NY, options were limited to classic rock and horrid AM country. This, showing on Night Flight, opened a whole new world of music to me and is directly responsible for my gravitation to punk rock.
Here’s the entire film, in an amazing 1080 upscale. This is the cleanest copy you’ll see: https://youtu.be/SgBhZPBp-WI

@historyofpunkrock@sfba.social If you're in Pacifica tomorrow and you get there early enough, you'll hear my band do an energetic cover of this!
