| Note | The Angry Samoans footage is excellent and is mostly very good quality (the first two NWT songs have below average video and I've seen better versions of the Time Has Come Today promo). Someday I'd like to do a new version of this or possibly a sequel with the other Sams promo vids. Most people don't know this but they made a number of videos as VOM back in the 70s. The ones for I'm In Love With Your Mom and Electrocute Your Cock are pretty well done.
Weirdos footage is nice, their lead singer has some crazy hair. The Circle Jerks footage is very good as well, pulled from the Best of New Wave Theatre VHS that saw a limited release in the early 90s. They do Wild In The Streets and as soon as Peter Ivers tries to do the interview spiel at the end Keith and the band start doing a raging version of Leave Me Alone instead of answering his questions. The Plugz footage is definitely one of the highlights of the disc. They play an absolutely incredible version of In The Wait off their second album from 1981. The song (along with the rest of the album) is more Mexican-flavored pop rock on the album itself but here they punk it up a notch and it works really well. I don't like Kraut much but their fans will surely like this footage. You get a neat promo video of All Twisted and 3 live songs, all of decent quality. The Screamers' video is cool but unfortunately is clipped at the end. I have no idea if a full version of this actually exists in trader world. The whole band stands there completely still in a room full of TVs with zero emotion as they play the song. Apparently this was recorded live in the studio. The Crime song has poor audio for some reason despite the video being nice Target Video quality. I don't like the fact that they are playing at a prison, but the song is OK. Dead Boys footage is mostly of low quality and I'm not totally sure why it was included here since it doesn't really go with the rest of the DVD. I've always considered them to be more of an early punk group while all the other bands on here were most active during the 80s hardcore days (except maybe The Cramps). Speaking of them, The Cramps' footage is all very good, but varies in quality. The Urgh! version of Tear It Up is a lot of fun. The X video is OK. The guy who made the disc cut the intro off, though, which is about 45 seconds long but doesn't include the actual song. It's very nice to see some Gears and UXA footage; I never knew any existed until I got this disc. The 45 Grave stuff is very good in terms of quality and the songs themselves. I've always liked the song Wax and they play it twice here. As for FEAR, I don't need to say much, this is probably the best quality copy of the SNL show you'll ever see, and the NWT footage is amazing. |
