"Hello, I'm Benjamin Aurthur Ellis.  From 1990 to 1994 my friend Tres and I owned and operated an all-ages nightclub in Portland, Oregon called the X-Ray Cafe."

Drive Like Jehu live at the X-Ray Cafe 1992

In a back to back whirlwind tour with Fishwife, Drive Like Jehu played X-Ray Cafe in Portland one night then down in Corvallis the next.

Here's the whole set from the X-Ray. Dicey lighting (audience participation push button operated). My version of the shaky cam. But decent sound and close to 40 minutes of music.

Drive Like Jehu - "Do You Compute" (X-Ray Cafe, Portland, OR 1992)

Not the best video (there's a minute or so of the band tuning and futzing around at the top of the clip), but this is a killer tune. I'm prone to playing the guitar or bass riff (depending on which instrument I'm on) during pre-show soundchecks*

Also: LOL at the split second of Ice-T's "Midnight" at 0:06.
