The the city is so gentrified now, but The 86's are still making music today in the classic 70's NY punk style. A few members of the band are from the old scene and Detroit at the time. ua-cam.com/video/qsjnrzy2Frk/v-deo.html
Real shame about turning a shitty neighborhood into a nice one, gentrification is so evil.
It is but there is still somewhat of a punk scene there. At least there was when I was last there in November.
TheBigMclargehuge Gentrification is a double edged sword and there is always two sides to it. While there are some good things that can come out of it, if not done right it can completely ruin a neighborhoods character.
@@TheBigMclargehuge You forgot the sarcasm font.
For a second I actually thought that you favored gentrification and its soul-sucking evil. The Bowery has never been the same since the money moved in. Sure, it's cleaner and safer, but it's unrelatable and shallow, essentially like any old dormitory suburb. NYC deserves better.
Every since Robert Moses, Manhattan has failed to preserve its essential values that made it interesting to begin with.
@@NYC_Metal_Scene That's great, and as Johnny Thunders famously sang in the late 70s, "you can't put your arms around memories." As if to say, we need to live in the moment rather than sulk that the past has indeed passed. But this period at CBGB's was my sweet spot of late teens, early twenties. The difference compared to the punk that lingers today is that it was happening for the first time in the late 60s and through the 70s. It was new and radically different, and many of the bands at that time were still somewhat melodic with poignant lyrics compared to the banal hardcore screaming punk that followed from the 90s and onwards.
Bands, writers and visual artists doing the same thing now are purely 100% derivative. Only those who experience an original period understand the additional power of radical change. I agree, there are far more options today, but they're tangents rather than replacements.
A girl I was dating back in 1978 took my to see the Dead Boys at the Rat in Boston. It was my first punk rock concert. I was mainly a fan of British progressive rock and American classic rock. I was certain that I was not going to like them at all. How wrong I was. I was absolutely blown away by these guys. I will always remember that show.
I was also a fan of prog rock (King Crimson, Yes, etc) and I was also probably at the same Dead Boys show at the Rat as you were. They blew me away as well.
Did you tear up your Pink Floyd posters after the show? Great story. Did you see any other bands around that time?
You were a MOST FORTUNATE citzen.
Yes, OUZO!!!
Prog is the most boring and onanist form of rock that ever existed: Long Live Punk!
I saw the Dead Boys more times than I can count at CBGB's in the late 70's and early 80's. At the time didn't realize how powerful it was; when I look back realize how lucky I was...the time, the era, the anger. The Bowery was grungy and dangerous back then...fitting for the music scene at CBGB's. Today it's like Disneyland...sad in its own way.
+Patrick Portland I could never get people to go to CBGB's with me, lol - they were always too scared...the first time I went, we had to leave early because one of the guys with us had to be back at Riker's in time (they had let him out on a pass, lol)
+Patrick Portland so sad when Mars Bar closed a few years ago, the last holdout of that world.
+hamstergirl4444
That's funny. Me and my buddy met these 2 girls at CBGB's. I can't remember much of what happened over the next 3 or 4 weeks except that I got into a shitload of trouble. But she did leave me her probation book as a parting gift.
+Cartel1982 Wow...didn't know...used to frequent those divey NY Lower East side bars and Mars Bar was one of them. Relocated to Portland, OR 6 years ago. Miss NYC but it's not the same city I grew up in as a kid in Brooklyn...thanks for the update!
The BlackPit Probation book, eh? Lololol - as long as that's all you got, consider yourself lucky ;)
This is one of the coolest things ever captured on film.
A treasure!
I remember hearing those words “and then I’ll be 10 feet tall and you’ll be nothing at all” For the first time as a gawky gangly 14 year old pushover So many years ago feeling like I could take down the whole football team with my own bare hands. Of course I couldn’t, but punk rock made me not afraid of my bullies anymore.
the first time I heard it, it was a Pearl Jam bootleg, and for awhile we thought it was their song, a B-side or something. lol. Same with how killer that line is.
EXACTLY ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS ABOUT PUNK AND METAL THAT STUCK TO MY HEART AND SOUL WHEN I WAS ABOUT 13/ 14 AND STILL KEEPS ME GOING MOST DAYS STILL AT age 46!
"Rock out, let it crush your fear." - Motorhead
I have "Sonic Reducer" tattooed around my wrist.
I'll be a pharoh soon, rule from some golden tomb. Things will be different then. The sun will rise from here.
I think this band is the most under-rated punk band ever. You hear about them in the rise of this movement, but never as much as you hear about many other bands. Their music has way more dynamics than the typical punk band of the day. No wonder Crystal put money into this band. They really could have gone far.
Hi Kevin
you are right. I saw the dead boys November 1977 in London at the roundhouse. They were ' special guests' while the Damned were the main act. But after the Dead Boys rocked the stage, the Damned Show was kind of boring in my opinion.
1 or 2 weeks later the Ramones rocked the roundhouse too, but I got no more money for a second London trip, sad but true.
Bernhard from Germany
Yes indeed too bad they were so f’d up LOL.
Its Kristal, not Chrystal.
They were way to drugged out & wild to have taken it very far. If they woulda had money they'd all be dead.
Man their drummer's good isn't he? Poor Stiv, he should still be making records.
Cymbals way too high..wasted energy…
@@Formula-602 🤓
One of the great classic punk bands. Stiv Bators -- legendary.
I was one of a handful who saw the band in Cleveland before their move to NYC. We thought they were the best of the Rocket From The Tombs spinoffs. This video was the closest to the way I remember them. We miss you Stiv.
Thank you for this classic concert of Dead Boys, they were a great band I really enjoy their songs. Johnny Blitz is also a kick ass drummer. It's a shame they didn't record more music back in the day.
Stiv's backward lean at 7:40-7:53 is bloody amazing to see again... Thanks 4 posting this f'ing great live show, blueheadflame
Not surprising that the Lords of the New Church broke up in 89 after Stiv hurt his back.
One of the great things about the Dead Boys is they had a very solid, excellent drummer in Johnny Blitz.. He is intense!.
Damn right, he's intense--he's hitting everything that isn't nailed down! He's pure chaos!
Agreed. A band is only as good as its drummer.
@@matthewjames206 And if The Damned, The Sex Pistols, and the Heartbreakers are any indication--a drummer with blonde, spiky hair doesn't hurt, either!
Hell yes, Blitz kicked ass.
@@matthewjames206 true!..What happens if the drummer doesn’t show?The gig is CANCELED!
Ill never forget the time Cheetah Chrome and his gal at the time gave me a ride from NYC to Connecticut when i was a teen. It was ridiculously fun wacky times.
Forever one of the best bands, which changed the world.
chEErs

Probably one of the best things to come outta Cleveland!!
In a perfect world the Dead Boys would be getting the Kennedy Center Award.
They aren't fake enough. Or rich enough unfortunately.. Besides they don't need anyone's crappy award.
Now THAT is the very definition of stage presence!
Love punk, never really looked into this band before but gotta say...
Love the singers facial expressions
Dude knows how to introduce a band...
lol he was hype
I thought that was Randy Savage.
Damn. This is exactly what it was like in 77. Nice to see it all over again. :o)
We should all be so lucky to have such an awesome bearded hype man!♡
The first chords to sonic reducer listen close, same intro as Open letter to NYC by Beastie Boys, so classic, both great bands too!!♡
Like a time machine trip back to ‘77… It’s weird and somehow fitting to think that fear of Son of Sam was the lurking, pervasive backdrop to that dark, hot summer in NYC…
this is so good. What energy and power.
thank you greatly for uploading this - its almost like being there ? this is a rare film survival - a cine transfer to VHS ? thence to you tube - they seem to be recording this gig with multiple film cameras ? pretty rare - hopefully more period gems will emerge like this in the coming years …
My mother & Stiv sent love letters to each other back in the day
did he snot on her snatch before he ate it?
Liar
My favorite group of all the times
Such an underrated band
What makes you believe they're underrated? Did you travel the globe taking a survey from every citizen of the world? Please explain.
@@gogoyubari366 weird response but ok. They’re legends in the punk world but even then they don’t always seem to get the acclaim they deserve. Snotty is rightfully hailed as a classic album but you don’t see people talk about them that much. They’ve also been touring lately and not that many people seemed to go to those shows. They get mentioned in classic punk band discussions but I don’t see dead boys merch/stickers/patches that often. They were also just a great rock band generally and great performers.
@@anthonysclafani3963 touring without Stiv
Not underrated in the least . They are considered "Sex Pistols Lite" , LOL. well SORTA ? You know what I mean.
@@LannieLord
Sex Pistols are one of the most overrated prefab bands in history.
I was a FM radio DJ when this came out…worked “Sonic Reducer” like mad!
Saw these guys back in the day at the ShowPlace in Dover NJ. Stiv hung upside down from the rafters and puked! Needless to say it was FN AWESOME!
What a great band and great video. Thank you for sharing brought back memories of over playing young loud and snotty
Wow. Thats really Punky ! Thanks.

Such an amazing punk artifact! How many times BITD did I witness a live performance and think what a damned shame it was that the show was purely ephemeral. Unless a band produced a recorded studio project, they faded into fugitive memory. This exception to that tendency is a priceless jewel.
Saw these supporting The Damned in '77. Have to admit I was a 'bit' drunk that night, so it's good to have some help remembering how the night went!
Mano!!! Obrigado por vcs existirem!!! Dead Boys FOREVER!!!!!
Greatest punk band imo.
As far as I'm concerned, the best thing that out came out of the punk vein. Always come back to the Dead Boys as the ideal of what punk could be, which few others could ever hold a candle to besides Thunders and Iggy.
DANKE für diese phänomenale Aufnahme 😮....und was n' Sound Dead Boys forever 😎🖕
If a record could ever change a life, Young Loud & Snotty changed mine. I was gonna make adult contemporary music which was the pop music of 1977 but After I discovered the Dead Boys, I became a punk. Still loud & snotty but older.
was 15yrs old at this shoe,great to see myself w hair again....this shit ruled in the day n wasn't sold out n they just did the bar band stomp...alot good bands hopped over to NYC in the 70,s...then HC hit...the early village days Harley Flannigan n his lil gang of hoods...pool ball in a sock n hop the train....loved to tell about it ...rip the many who fell n didn't get up....2019 here we come...
All those kids in that crowd are at least 60-70 years old right now…….
And they are maybe younger than us
Time moves on.
Double bass Drums for Punk... Intreesting 😜🤟
Yes..but..did he use them both?
Wish I was there
Punk never turned anyone away. Ever.
Impresionante estallido de energía al comienzo del concierto.
I'm in the audience!!
Loved the movie about this venue
This felt more like 15 minutes not 28 damn. This set flew by.
I was 17 at the time and it was exactly like this. I feel sorry for young kids these days.
Dead Boys were just good, unvarnished rock and roll.
love the Dead Boys
Some drums setup for a punk band in the 70s!!!!!!
Stiv is so natural and one of a kind. They broke the mold with him. 🤘rip
Amazing
Cleveland rocks
40 years later and amazingly we consider these degenerate punks, pioneers of a genre.
DB pure raw aggression . They F n killed it every time . 🤘🏻💀👍🏻
Never go to the bathrooms at the CBGB 🚽💩
This exact show was the first show I ever went to at CBGB's. Saw them at least 40 times, had a thing with Stiv going for 2 years+ (yeah I know, I wasn't the only one but he was a really nice guy offstage).
Went there and Max's 3 to 4 times a week.
I saw so much history go down, saw the Police first time they played in the States, there were maybe 30 people in the club.
It was a moment in time that'll never be replicated, I was lucky to be part of the scene.
Last time I saw Stiv was at the Diplomat Hotel, he went out to get something and I took off without saying goodbye.
RIP Steve, you remain one of a kind.
….damn I miss this shit rest easy stiv ☠️
Holy shit, a Stooges cover?? Love it.
Great upload!
Thanx.
These guys killed me with this show. Wish I'd have heard them earlier.
This is indeed rare footage.
Having a ball watch this I was a regular at CBGB's hung out with all of them Debbie Harry was and still is gorgeous never paid to get in or paid for a drink Great times.
maybe I commented years ago, can't recall. If October, I was at that show, spending a week in NYC from France. Believe it or not, I came straight from the MET, after seeing Debussy's Pelléas and Melisande! I also saw the Talking Heads that week, at the Bottom Line (27th of October?). Fabulous week it was!
A few years later I saw Bators rushing thru a dept store in Paris, really fucked up, leaning on a girlfriend. No one paid attention but me. He died not long after, actually, in Paris too, hit by a car... The gilrfriend was not there to help, I suppose, that day.
Got the first two songs on here on a vinyl record called New Wave.
This is the real deal kids. And for the comment below, punk will never make a comeback... Nor should it. Record companies would try to get their sticky fuckin hands in it and form corporate pansy bands. Best double bass drummer in punk. ( except for Tony V in the Viletones) great footage.

So true! The record co. Would ruin them. This is genuine and pure. They are not posing or selling out.
Punk is alive and well
amazing man
Damn dead boys with my love STIV!!!! Miss ya baby!!!!!!👍❤️☮️🔥😻🦊
Back when everybody was still pissed off at all the stupid shit around us. Beautiful!
@Richard Benn hahaha totally i was thinking the same thing
Maybe the best show ever.
I did enjoy their first album
Stiv is my grandpas cousin
He was my son
I loved him like a brother, he was like a father to me.
Holy shit. Wait. What? Wtf!?!?!?? I've combed the internet for all forms of punk. This band is out of control. Top marks. Why has it taken so long to find them?
Do you know The Dickies ?
THIS is Punk Rock!!!
If someone thinks they know “Punk Rock” or they want to know, I show them the Dead Boys
I NEED LUNCH!!
Love these guys
Steve bators and the band are delinquent of rnr...rip boy...you always in my heart
3 pcs of bologna pinned to his chest. classic :)
Its a shame we dont have punk bands like this anymore bands that didnt give a shit what you thought of them
This whole scene is unreproductable film like this is as close as we can get, new york in '77 black out summer of sam, class riot, urban decay, lots of drugs, cheap living, so much rockn' roll talent, too much self destruction, Please Kill Me: Heartbreakers were in England subverting rockn' roll even more Johnny getting Malcom back for destroying the Dolls by twisting his Precious pistols into a one-hit wipeout, broken dawn of no wave
John Lydon could only wish to be 5% of Stiv Bators legend
1977, now thats a good lookin crowd
Blowing his nose with bologna AND then eating it was a nice touch. Didn't see that coming.
Never take a sub sand from Stiv
These guys are pretty good, real high energy.
Stiv is my favorite male Libra, beside Oscar Wilde of course.
Dead Boys, The Ramones, Plasmatics and The Spines were great!
Rip Stiv Bators, which why you hear nothing about this band now.
best band ever?
***** Before Punk became "Punk"... When you still had to be able to play because it WASN'T "punk" just greaay dirty gutbucket rawk
Я смотрю декабрь 2019,супер группа ))))
What A Timeless Masterpiece!
Energy!
You can't deny this isnt electrifying stuff when they get started
N01 gig ever…….Damned/Dead Boys at Clouds Edinburgh 1977
how tf does stiv do that spit trick!? I'm baffled every time he does it lol

The bathroom at CBGBs and the one at 9:30 basement were mid Century temples to club excess and squalor.
No walls no stall no door.
Commode on an 8 inch raised concrete pedestal.
80 year old buildings so they had to add in modern plumbing thus the platform.
Graffiti amd band stickers and tags covered every square inch.
So if you really REALLY had to go it was there.
This is fantastic!
Young Loud and Snotty and Never Mind the Bullocks both came out in Oct. 77. The Pistols were Malcom’s boy band. They’re from Cleveland but not in RnR Hall of Shame.
Hello Bass Player Can you play in the Parking Lot!
He's a great guy and Normal
yes please.
