Rollins Band 07.12.1989 Lyon

After Black Flag's demise Henry Rollins wasn't inactive and soon gathered set of musicians. Under his name and later as Rollins Band they played stuff rooted in hard core but also influenced by metal, blues, jazz and funk.
This gig was recorded in France in 1989 on their "Hard Volume" tour. Very good versions of their originals with bunch of covers (although "Stand By Me" is very weird version).
