Gig is a live album by American hardcore punk band Circle Jerks, recorded in the late 1980s and released by Relativity Records in 1992.[4]

Release and reception

The album was recorded in Los Angeles and Tijuana.[5]

In an AllMusic review, Paul Henderson wrote: "Gig proves yet again that punk rock is meant to be experienced live, and if you missed the Jerks in their heyday, this is the next best thing."[6]

Trouser Press wrote: "Sure it’s fifteen years too late, but the quartet plays ’em like it means ’em, and the hot sound (courtesy producer Paul du Gré) does justice to the spirited performances."[1]
