      Excellent band! My band opened for them at The Beachland Tavern in Cleveland.  During their set our bass player & guitar player played on stage with the band, while the members went into the audience for "Audience Participation".  One of our most memorable gigs! Great guys! Great music!

      Thanks for posting, it's really good. Anyone in a band should watch this, they do it for the music. That's why I love garage so much, it sounds real.

      I'm going to see the Fleshtones at the 31st Street Pub here in Pittsburgh next month on the 22nd, and they will share the bill with the Cynics. They did this once before in March 2002, and it was the best night I ever had at the Pub.

      The Fleshtones are coming to St. Louis in November for the Beat 'n' Soul fest. Really looking forward to this as it's been something like 20 years since they were last here. Come on down!

      We saw The Fleshtones a coupla weeks ago for the first time in many years. They have NOT slowed down at all, in fact the show we saw recently was the WILDEST we've ever seen them!!!! If you ever get a chance to see The Fleshtones, DO NOT miss them!! Greatest live band I've ever seen!!!!! And some of the nicest people you'll ever meet!

      I just watched this and it is really good. It's the story of some guys doing what they love, of perseverance, and ultimately, of survivors. It's only a little over an hour long and it's worth your time, especially to the older folks born before 1980. The Fleshtones are, simply put, one of the greatest live rock and roll bands ever. I used to to go see the Fleshtones a lot in the late 70's/early 80's and they NEVER put on a mediocre or even merely good show...they always went full throttle and they were always great or better than great. It never took more than 2 or 3 songs until they got everybody dancin', even the most ultra-cool hipsters. and the dancin' didn't stop until the plug got pulled. A sweeter, funnier, intelligent and articulate bunch of guys you couldn't hope to find. There is no other band (as it says in the movie) that played at CBGB's in 1976 and are still together and still playing today without any interruption in between, and that's saying something. Thanks so much for posting this link!!
