Here's The Offspring from June 7, 1988 when they appeared on my public access tv show "Rockstock" performing the song Jennifer Lost The War.

a couple of things about this video:

1. This is NOT live, they lipsynced this perfomance to give us more editing options

2. I had some trouble sync my audio and video in some parts so it might look a little kung fu movie in some parts.

3. In hindsight we should have shot more than 4 angles but I seem to remember being under a time crunch. Anyway, I wanted to share this rare clip with the public, enjoy!

    35 years later still one of my favorite Offspring songs

    Such a recognizable voice!!! Long live Offspring

    Here we see the beginnings of the famous Greg K. bass sway.

    Dexter just knew what he was doing right from the beginning (they all sound great) but man, his voice sounds bloody brilliant - particularly because he looks so young here as well

    OC punk. This was a one camera shoot and we shot several takes. I remember asking the band if they were going to fly in a tour about to start and Brian saying, "This is punk, we're not Bad Religion." Good times.

    Man, cannot believe I have never seen this before! Awesome to see such raw, and early, footage of this band, prior to them hitting it big with Smash in 1994 (even though I know they had 2 other albums out prior to that). Still love their Self Titled album, and especially, Ignition, probably even more so than Smash, but still gotta give it up for Smash, simply because Come Out And Play was my first introduction to this band. 1994 was a great f***ing year for music!!
  • Some bands are legendary from day one. Its just the way it is. these guys got that blessing without a single doubt.
  • @cyric2010
    Wow. They sound a lot better than I thought they would, considering how young they were.
  • @steve-692
    cool as hell to see a successful band in their very early days.... always loved these guys! Very cool!
  • This song never gets old, even if this video is from the year I was born 😂 The Offspring are certainly a top band with a huge place in music history 🤘
  • This is one of the best Offspring songs ever and they would continue that... They write sad songs with upbeat music...

    I was then 4 years old kid in 1988. The Offspring came familiar to me in 1994. 👌😉
