Was it all at once, was it bit by bit? Did you take a break when hardcore was the norm?

For me it was the skaters at my high-school ('80) who listened to anything different. Two brothers turned me onto the Sex Pistols (who I thought were hilarious, but only as a black humor comedy group, not as a band. All these years later, I have enormous respect for Lydon, but that opinion still holds) and tried to get me interested in Black Flag (who would have to wait 'til far into my senior year before I heard them.). I already was into stuff like Devo and the B-52's, but the breakthrough for me was hearing the 1st Clash album the summer before my senior year, wow!, and the Nuggets collection that Fall at a friend's house (which was ultimately the more powerful argument for non-commercial sounds). Because hardcore was everywhere (still can't stand it) I took things at a slower pace, finding out about the Butthole Surfers/Birthday Party/Scratch Acid, then going into Blues, Soul, Ska, etc. and 60s Punk/Rockabilly comps before coming back to Punk (Aussie Punk was vital to me, and remains so). About then the whole Mummies/Gories/Oblivians/Japan thing happened. I did get burned out around '99, but the slow pace I kept let me keep my interest in the long run.

Yeah , he's got black tape on the swastika ! But , he often wore his "Destroy" T-shirt uncovered on stage.

Yeah , MikeL , I have it. I had to get it , for closure's sake. You see , my Cousin and I were standing in line for (Possible.) tickets to that same show , July , '78 , Ft. Worth. The Stones had not announced any dates on the "Some Girls'' tour in The Dallas/Ft. Worth area , until , at the last minute , tickets went on sale for a small venue show at The Will Rogers Theatre (I'm told it holds , or held about 2000 people ,  but the one time I was there , it looked more like a 500 - 1000 SEATER , but , I was probably mistaken.). The location tickets would be sold at was'nt even announced , presumably to distribute tickets evenly without riotous conditions. YEAH , RIGHT. I FIGURED OUT , YEARS LATER , THE SCALPERS GOT MOST OF THE TICKETS. THEY CLOSED UP SALES AFTER ABOUT 150 PEOPLE WENT INSIDE , AT THE LOCATION WE OPTED FOR , TO GIVE IT A TRY....And there was only one other (Also undisclosed) ticket location. Did'nt make sense to me.... All three of my Brothers got tickets from friends at school , for face , which I remember being $10. A LOT OF THEIR FRIENDS SCORED TICKETS , TOO. I WAS STILL IN Jr. High , where The STONES WERE "QUEERS".

RECENTLY , I SAW A COUPLE OF DVD Bootlegs of PART of the show , almost checked 'em out , just to see what I'd missed. But , this legit release was worth the wait. It's a great performance , beautifully filmed with fine sound. Plus , in the crowd shots , you expect to see people crushing each other , but , everyone seems to have room , and the selfishness and violence disguised as "Fun", which  permeates shows today , is nowhere to be seen. The band insisted on minimum security , so , the fans were on their honor.  This strategy worked. Of course , The Stones still do small venue gigs , but , there's no way in HELL they would'nt beef up security. I have , and you have , seen 'em turn up the intimidation tactics for FAR , FAR MORE OBSCURE BANDS.

The Stones , for a while , had a new lease on life (The Scorcese film and the" Bigger Bang" album are certainly comparable.). And , yeah , I got my closure.

Unlike "Ladies and Gentlemen" , there are extras , An extended TV interview with Horrendo Revolver , and the historically important , but , mostly awful Stones on SNL performance , with former funnyman , Dan Akyroyd , as Tom Snyder doing a mock interview with Jagger that's very funny , and , at times , could pass for a real , lost "Snyder-Jagger" interview. 

I was a little letdown by "Ladies and Gentlemen" , only because I expected it to be a vast improvement on the bootleg copy I have ....It's certainly must - viewing for fans of that era.

Much of that was shot in Ft.Worth , at the 17,000 seater Tarrant County Convention Center , now a shoebox by today's standards for bands of their stature.

I saw the movie after it's (Major cities only) initial run , in Peoria , Illinois.

But , it's a case of , decide what it is you really want or need. I bought the excellent Ed Sullivan shows set (4 of the 6 episodes , in full , that they appeared on.) , only to find out , they followed it up with a new set that includes all 6 episodes they appeared on !        The sets also include Tom Jones , Petula Clark , and even The Muppets (Don't laugh. They've got a Garage Punk band , here , that could make an ass out of this year's favorites.) , and an Aqua Velva commecial with Mamie Van Doren !

Also , The Live in Ft. Worth '78 set was released , after the DVD LINGERED IN THE PRE - xMAS HAZE , as a DVD/CD package , AND THERE'S A CRAZY EXPENSIVE BOX SET THAT I THINK ONLY ADDS  A 45 and maybe a book..

If they have to bleed us like that , I'd like to know that it's going to The Red Cross OR SOMETHING.

Anyway , if you're a fan of "Some Girls" , arguably their last great album , until "A Bigger Bang" came on , almost 30 years later....I highly recommend it.

I havent but my mate, a Stones mega fan, reckons its one of the best concerts they ever recorded, apart from Jagger wearing a Vivienne westwood t-shirt. apparently he looks self-conscious all gig and only takes his jacket off right at the end.

This is the title to a DVD that I just bought, and it is a concert film from the Stones' 1972 tour.  It's a very good concert film, and it shows the Stones' at the tail end of my favorite era for that band.  

BTW, has anyone here checked out the DVD that shows the Stones during their 1978 "Some Girls" tour?  I'm going to get it later.

Nice mix o' stuff, thanks!

As far as garage and psych are concerned:

Dead Skeletons - dead magick

Shapes Have Fangs - dinner in the dark

Black Keys - el camino

Cosmonauts - new psychic denim

Wooden Shjips - west

Liquid Sound Company - acid music for acid people

the Cosmic Dead - psychonaut

Dirty Beaches - badlands

Singapore Sling -never forever

Lumerians - transmalinnia

Screen Vinyl Image - strange behavior

Night Beats/UFO Club - split

Night Beats - lp

I'm including psych stuff that very post punk/goth/shoegaze influenced in this list. Lots of long songs that are heavy on electronic sounds - may or may not be to your liking : P.

Two words: Kim Fowley

I was under the impression as a rebelous 20 year old that people grew boring as they got older now I am 34 one of my best friends is 66 soon to turn 67.  He has single handedly turned me on to bunches of new and old music we sit around at least twice a week listening to Garagepunk.com podcasts and any other music we can get our hands on.  He turned me on to everything from the Imortal Lee County Killers, Bunker Hill, The Space Shits, and a miriad of stuff sold by labels like Norton and Midnight Records.  Never to old to rock!!!!!!!

'friend' me and I can then PM you the Shindig rate card

Oh, yeah, it's very trendy now, but we saw the same thing happen in '95, when the Gories/Oblivions/Mummies were long-gone and the left-overs were mainly 3rd-string types. The press esp. likes to have a flavor of the month. The wild groups seem to be an endangered species. This site is great for community, but it doesn't help that record stores (filled w/ real vinyl) are few in number now, there's no way to connect w/ friends, listen to music and get turned onto new sounds. Now instead of brick and mortar stores we see words up on a screen, and somehow it takes away from the emotional impact. Gettin' a li'l off-topic here, but my point is that it's tough to find ballsy relevant rock & roll, while it's trendy to like bland 'retro' bands...

You're a man after my own heart! I still miss Joey and Dee Dee...

Hip?

Hip is hard to nail.
{“If you have to ask, you’ll never know.”- attributed to Dizzy Gillespie}

It can’t be taught.
Hip suspects words and manifestos, and has not developed a recruitment pitch since it doesn’t recruit.

Hip is an understated state of grace that does not necessarily wish the world well.

Hip is self-sufficiency, Jack.

Hip has re-wired the nervous system to accomodate the overload of ecstasy.

One of my fav songs is Wily Coyote by thee Mighty Caesars.
