but before Henry Rollins was handling bike shorts duty, there was a man known as Dez Cadena handling the mic. After his vocal days with the band were done, he moved on to rhythm guitar for a short time (apparently two guitars didn't fly well with band leader Greg Ginn). He played with a few other bands after that (most notably Red Kross) and is currently a member of the Misfits. But that's now, let's go back to then:
pre-Rollins Black Flag had trouble keeping a vocalist. Dez was no exception. Although he wasn't their strongest vocalist, he was able to hold his own and bring his own presence to the stage. Today I present to you a recording of his final show as vocalist for Black Flag, recorded (if you can believe it) 27 years ago on this date (July 4th! Happy Birthday America!). I was told this is a soundboard recording, but I don't know how reliable my sources are. Enjoy it anyway.
