Day 982, Quasi-Quarantine: A Belated Celebration Of Living Colour's "Vivid"


Yesterday, Pitchfork added a belated review of Living Colour's "Vivid" to its archives. It's hard to believe it's been nearly 35 years since this seminal band released its debut album and then tore down the "Saturday Night Live" stage with a tornado of rock with a performance that my impressionable-teen self will never forget.

Led by Corey Glover's piercing vocals and Vernon Reid's indelible guitar, Living Colour transcended color and genre lines. As you can see, their work still holds up.
