The Sound of Music was a two day fest at the Turning Point with loads of great hardcore bands from here. It looks like it may have been one of the first shows of proverbial 1984. So many great bands. Some awesome pit photos used on the flyer.

This show had United States and BFG play. There was a preview of the movie "Not Dead Yet", which some folks have said was more a promotion movie for United States. I have also heard that the movie was an attempt by United States' manager to situate the band in the hardcore scene. I don't know many people who talk about United States as a hardcore band. But "Not Dead Yet" did have some of the only footage of the bands from the early Toronto hardcore scene. For that reason I think it is a great film. The sequel was less than impressive.
