Dolls were the original and best punk band ever.Got to meet them back in 1973 at KKKKaty's in Boston.Johnny Thunders told my younger brother to hold on to the girl he had just met out on the dance floor.We got invited backstage because my older brother had bought their first album,and we liked it so much we knew the lyrics and were singing along with them.68 years old and I still love the Doll's music.
I saw them in Liverpool, at the Academy, in 2006, and they were very good. t Two bands, Towers of London and 'Vagabond' in support. All impressive in it's own right. No Arthur Kane by then, as he died two years before.
Cool Joey! You’re a year older than my mom. Cute Maspeth Queens chick. She loved NY Dolls too . Wish I could have seen them too. RIP Johnny, Syl, Jerry and Artie!
This was so heartbreaking as Arthur died so soon afterwards. They got back to the US and within 4 weeks he was dead of Leukemia. I like Syl singing this as he and Johnny were closer to each other and still played together after the Dolls split. I was fortunate enough to see Johnny and have seen the Dolls since Arthurs passing. I think those original two albums they did are masterpieces.
Paul Evans I thought Arthur died from a brain anyurism as a result of a cancer complication? Maybe that was Jerry, anyways I think Arthur was feeling fine then one day felt an acute "flu" and after going to hospital he passed soon after. Peace- Arvid
@@arvidalexatsinch1163 Jerry died from Meningitis. The antibiotics gave him.a stroke then 2 more he was in the hospital 3 months I think out of it Wired tubed up wasted away.

@@samthunders3611 Thank you. You seem to know what you're talking about. I still think Johnny was robbed, maybe by someone taking care of him as I think he needed aides for a long time by then for multiple reasons. Or it was a "friend" That's still only my speculation.
This would have been a great concert. David Johanson still has that characteristic eccentric charisma about him, Dressing bizarrely as usual. Hats off to Johnny Thunders. RIP.
Lonely Planet BoyI__I've never heard another song quite like this one. Ever. On their debut album, I can listen to it over & over. The emotion David delivers is so palpable. Lovely and sad and REAL. In a biography of the Dolls the author states David wrote these lyrics in his journal when he was age 15.
Interesting to read of the lyrics origin, but the song does remind me of "That's Poison", the original version of "Subway Train". Which is why I thought Johnny had written the lyrics.
This had me in a trance. I loved how they combined johnnys song and the original version of it so beautifully. They are the best rock n roll band to me! Undoubtedly. Rip Johnny thunders and Arthur Kane. That's kinda weird they both had bad leukemia
One of the best songs ever written n played by the doll's who r one of the main reasons that in the late 70s a few people that were fucking sick of album rock died. Punkrock killed it
wasnt old enough to see them in their prime but appreciate everything they did. ny dolls melted my suburban mind, strict asian mum wasnt thrilled but love her !
One evening some friends and I were given some Chinese takeout by a man I recognized as Johansson , now in his Buster Poindexter persona. Not wanting to bust out “HEY ITS DAVID Johansson “ I just said “Thanks mister. You’re a Doll!” He kept moving but grinned and turning around he smiled and gave me the thumbs up.
Know what I didn't want to go to this and didn't. No Thunders et al. Wonder if I got it wrong? Johansen's voice just has not changed a jot. Still right there!
I fell in luv with these guys on their first album (roller s kates?), I was about 13, ahh, funny how some of us are drawn to different music styles but these guys fit me. I liked the Pistols and The Dictators and Blondie as well as the harder types like Sabbath Dio but The NYD's were special. I seen them once luckily at Dayton Hara Arena with four other bands BOC was one , but they were last, at about 1 AM in the morning. Most all cleared out, the Dolls were not impressed with the crowd and what was left. We are all getting old and will follow behind the rest before us. Just remember your brother and your Maker, give due diligence and you will move on. GIVE ME FRANKENSTEIN! PULL up some old thunders stuff on live video's, boy he was raw and racial, being from a tough family, town etc. crazy stuff he says.

@@jeffh8999 No,after that night I don't think he ever saw her again.
Rest in peace, Sylvain, Sylvain. 😥💔
R.I.P. to Johnny, Arthur, Billy, Jerry, Sylvain. Basically the band. Enjoy your time while you’re here folks. Life goes fast.
It sure fuckin do...
I was there. Magical gig for a life long dolls fan
You didn't just do it for Johnny Thunders, you did it for all of us who never had the chance. Thanks Syl Killer David
Changed the words a little. Great and poignant, RIP Sylvain.
Syl can never be missed too much! So much love for you and the joy you brought us all!
Arthur Kane what a big sweet guy. This is so sad yet beautiful at the same time. Glad they did the reunion.
Deff one of the greatest rock ballads ever written. NYDOLLS set the stage for everyone. 🎉❤

A very awesome and under appreciated group!
Johnny's soul wrenching masterpiece
Pretty Vacent John didn't write it, David did.
@@michaelvolgare4454 Vacent not vacant?
i absolutely love these guys!
This would have been a great concert. David Johanson still has that characteristic eccentric charisma about him, Dressing bizarrely as usual. Hats off to Johnny Thunders. RIP.
The great thing is that utube will preserve this forever.

I don't think David sung lonely planet boy on the first album I could be wrong but it sounds like Johnny thunder to me.
Great song, and fantastic Arthur killer Kane got his dying wish to play with the dolls again.
the guitar work on this version is fantastic
ARTHUR .. we miss you... Syl thank you for all the great music... dj ...
Awesome performance.... the Dolls are the greatest
RIP SYL... You're already missed.
RIP both of them. For the ones who left young! From the needle on and on ! every day i miss you all the great and Punk wild ones.
These guys are freakin' GREAT!
We gotta put our arms around so many Doll memories. They're almost all gone. But I loved youse guys.
RIP Syl ❤🎸
My tears drip on my face.
Me too
This had me in a trance. I loved how they combined johnnys song and the original version of it so beautifully. They are the best rock n roll band to me! Undoubtedly. Rip Johnny thunders and Arthur Kane. That's kinda weird they both had bad leukemia
and the legendary jerry nolan too
Johnny was probably murdered

One of the "KILLER'S" last shows too. What a great GREAT band!
The very last, unfortunately. RIP Arthur "Killer" Kane
RIP Sylvain. Thanks for the greatest shows.
This band sounds awesome.
Heartbreaking.
David is the only Doll left
That was a lot of fun.
Sylv you were brilliant. So was Johnny and Killer Kane, David J superb. What a fab band. RIP Sylv, Johnny & KK. ❤️sadly missed.
Omg. So fantastic. Only thing missing of course Johnny
And Jerry.
Don't forget Jerry Nolan. One of the most under rated drummers who also co-wrote with Walter Lure, a bunch of the Heartbreakers best songs
RIP Johnny thunders and killer Kane.
Don't forget Jerry Nolan and their original drummer Billy Murcia
Don't forget Jerry!
Indeed! 👍
And now Sylvain too. David's the only Doll left...
PLEASE DON'T FORGET THE DRUMMER JERRY NOLAN, HE WAS THE FIRST TO GO, HEROIN MOST LIKELY.
New york rocks the universe
You can tell how much they loved Arthur Kane
But dead by August 2004. Why?
Kinda perfect. So glad that I was once told Syl that his first two albums are flat-out masterpieces.
'I was once told' - you were told?
Don't you mean: that I once told Syl...
Merci Infini Aux Poupées De New York ........
Sylvain 🌹 RIP
Loved Missed
Still
January 2022.
Love love love all of my life LOVE
Lovely tribute.
Rest in peace sylvain, you fought long and hard❤️
I was there!
Beautiful song!
When Sylvain kisses Arthur. What a sweet guy 💔
I LOVE the New York Dolls! I have both their albums, and the two album album too! :-)
I can’t believe they’re all gone expect for David. Nobody can touch their swagger, originality, sound and influence.
Outstanding…just fucking outstanding.
RIP Johnny Thunders.~
Rip Johnny
What a smooth segue between songs -- too bad Johnny couldn't be there to see and hear it!
One evening some friends and I were given some Chinese takeout by a man I recognized as Johansson , now in his Buster Poindexter persona. Not wanting to bust out “HEY ITS DAVID Johansson “ I just said “Thanks mister. You’re a Doll!” He kept moving but grinned and turning around he smiled and gave me the thumbs up.
I think David Johansen is the only original member of The New York Dolls left alive.
Awesome! And Awesome!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥀
Love them
Know what I didn't want to go to this and didn't. No Thunders et al. Wonder if I got it wrong? Johansen's voice just has not changed a jot. Still right there!
AMAZING!!!
"New York Doll" a good flick
In case you don't know
LEGEND
Forgot to say how brilliant Steve Conte guitar and Gary Powell on drums. Love it.
They should have let Syl sing the whole song. I think his voice is more suited to this number. RIP Author & Walter!
Great bass line Killer. X
Oh man. Thanks Syl for the music
R.I.P. The Great Johnny Thunders.
Poor drummer. I love this song, but I have played drums to boring songs that I don’t love. I feel ya man.
Very spiritual.
idk why but this made me want to cry
Zeta Adonai because it's a soul wrenching masterpiece
god bless you John
Rip sylvain sylvain
rest in peace Sylvain
Theres an album where David does a HOWLIN WOLF tribute...LOOK IT UP IF YOU LIKE HIS VOICE
holy shit... the DOLLS
Love this....they and this clip shows it all about surviving with fuck-you joy in the trash of NYC.
gracias bendiciones Johansen flores a la Virgen Maria Amen para todas nosotras tambien !!! 😅

HOLY SHIT DAVID J........TAKE SOME GERITOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A salute to a fuckin LEGEND
The sad irony is that now he can literally put his arm around Johnny.We just lost Sylvian Sylvian last week R.I.P Sylvian.
Miss you, Syl
❤🎉
Godspeed Sylvain
😥😥😥😥😥😥😭😭😭😭
Oh god was that Arthur Kane!? Breaks my heart
Anyone know who's on the drums?
Gary Powell of The Libertines on drums
When the whole world is at war, you can't put your arms around a memory, and 'tis indeed a lonely planet which buoys.
Give us 29 more years of touring Mark.
RIP Syl. 1950-2021
goddamn boy can hit that guitar
That T-Bird sounds great through that SVT. I knew it was an SVT before I even saw it.
Up! 💕 by Tinja&Markku
The beginning of this with Sylvain Sylvain is especially good. Did they also change the bass player?
Jesus David looks like a skull. Love the dolls!! R. I. P. Jhonny!! 👍
David hasn't aged well. Did we really expect him to? #rockon
Fuckin Class.
