Movie Reviews of DEAD BOYS - Live at CBGB's 1977
Movie Review: RARE IN YOUR FACE GUERILLA FOOTAGE!
Summary: 5 Stars
Before radical anti-artist Rod Swenson put together the Plasmatics around the now legendary Wendy O. Williams he recorded some of the rarest footage of the seminal punk scene in New York. This amazing footage is part of that legacy and rare it is. Shot in 1977 (about 6 months before he started working on the Plasmatics) 3 of the songs are his original edits (All This and More, Sonic Reducer, and Ain't Nothing to Do). The rest of the footage and DVD was edited from his raw footage and interviews (with the exception of a few recent interviews with manager Hilly Krystal and Cheetah Chrome). The same in-your-face video style that became his hallmark with many of the classic Wendy O. Williams and Plasmatics videos (see the new jaw-dropping DVD on them with a lot of this original footage Wendy O. Williams and The Plasmatics: The DVD - Ten Years of Revolutionary Rock and Roll recently released) makes this a special DVD indeed. As he explains in those days equipment in those days was huge and cumbersome but the shots are spectacular. The close camera on Sonic Reducer (one of the best of the set) on the OTT Stive Bators, probably at the peak of his career during this time, must have been about 6 inches from his face. It's like Stiv is alive again (RIP) right in your living room. You can feel the sweat and feel the power of this amazing band which only lasted for a very short time. This is a fitting tribute to the power of these guys on stage and for fans and for people who never knew what it was like back then, this powerful, raw, in-your-face footage is a must.
