Dez Cadena’s last show as Black Flag’s third vocalist is an innocuous event. Listening to to it in real time, you wonder about the context. Cadena’s voice, by this time, was worn and ragged. Black Flag’s eras began and ended with an abruptness that can only be described as possessing an enviable temerity: they knew when enough was enough. Or, maybe they didn’t. As with most things, it all comes down to perspective.
I tend to be of the school of thinking that Black Flag fell off hard when Rollins took over.

Dez was my fave next to Ron. He was great to watch live , always roaming back & Forth and back & forth from side to side of the stage... I When to S.F. just to see the first Black Flag show w/ Hennry and was dissapointed as I recall... So big thanks for this I can't wait to hear what it sounds like and the memories it my stir up !!!
