CBGB, September 15th, 1974. If there’s anything better than this, I don’t want to know what it is. Including the between-song arguments and Tommy bitching about how fast everything is.
1) Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue
2) I Don’t Wanna Go Down to the Basement
3) Judy Is a Punk
Great video, I hadn’t seen it. It’s striking how much “I Don’t Wanna Go Down to the Basement” owes to “Hang On To Yourself.”
Dang, never noticed that before! Joey was way into glam – even going through a phase where he went by Jeff Starship – so I wouldn’t be surprised if that were the inspiration.
“Three against one!”
A true democracy.
