The bar that practically birthed the punk movement of the 70s when the Ramones started playing is plays host to a slew of performances from some of the bands still making the rounds on the punk and hardcore circuit today.
Fifteen bands play a total of twenty-eight songs on this release that runs almost sixty-seven minutes in length. More established acts such as Agnostic Front and The U.K. Subs share the tiny stage with newer acts like H20. Here's what you'll find:
Agnostic Front: Something's Gotta Give / Believe
Cro-Mags: Malfunction / Hard Times
Madball: Lockdown / True To The Game
H2O: Faster Than The World / Guilty By Association
Poison Idea: Lifestyles / Just Get Away
Harley's War: Malfunction / The Regulator
UK Subs: I Live In A Car / Emotional Blackmail
The Varukers: Murder / Don't Want To Be A Victim
Chaos UK: Selfish Few / King 4 A Day
The Vibrators: Pure Mania / Baby Baby Baby
Molotov Cocktail: Kop Party / Alcohol
Kraut: Unemployed / Kill For Cash
Adrenaline OD: Suburbia / Old People Talk Loud
Even Worse: Major Headache
Furious George: Redrum
While very little of this footage is fancy, it gets the job done and gives you a good idea of how small this world famous bar really is. Audiences are crammed in and the band members don't really have tons of space on stage to do their stuff, but it's all good and there are some solid performances on this compilation.
Video quality is pretty solid considering that it's shot on video from the back of the bar. Yes there is some grain and due to the stage lights a lot of the colors blend together but it's nothing near as bad as a lot of bootleg videos going around featuring the bands on this release. The Dolby Digital 5.1 audio is solid and makes nice use of the front channels more so than the subwoofer or rear surrounds, but it does fill the room up quite nicely when you listen to it.Posting comments is disabled.
