This is a fascinating look back at a band who changed the course of music.

Their musical style and outrageous performances don’t have the same shock value as they did decades ago, but they are still entertaining.

It’s a very interesting look back at the history of the music and of life in the rapidly changing 1970’s.

The DVD features raw montages of some of their biggest hits:

Jet Boy
Personality Crisis
Bad Girl
Human Being
Bad Detective
Subway Train
Trash
Vietnamese Baby
Looking For a Kiss
Who Are The Mystery Girls
Private World
Babylon
Frankenstein
Chatterbox

Since they used the original old footage, the dvd has a very authentic feel to it.

They’ve captured the era perfectly in a way that wouldn’t have been possible with re-mastered, high-definition modern techniques.

The raw sound and visuals from the live performance are essential to understanding and appreciating their impact.

This DVD would be a great gift for someone who remembers them from back in the day or for a younger person who appreciates modern music.
