HAHAHAHHA!!! 1977 was a great year! I was 4 years old and already climbing up on our 3rd story apartment building and causing hell! God, if only times were this great again. 2020 sucks major ass! Shit music and shit times!
This is great. I had a premonition, perhaps, when "actual" chills ran through my (for a few seconds) during the songs mere beginning. There is a later (80's) live version of this (WPOD) in San Francisco *that doesn't cut off the songe concluding conclusion. metaltomotown
Saw them 3 times in the UK. The earlier shows were the best as they were more theatrical. See my comment below re the incident with Fee breaking his leg...
This happened in the UK at Leicester DeMontfort Hall. He fell off the front of the stage whilst wielding the chainsaw. Despite reports to the contrary he definitely did not continue with the gig as he was taken to Leicester Hospital. The band completed the set without him. I was there!
Fee looks like Mick Ronson on extra glam pills, one keyboard looks like the guy from Kansas, the other from Joy Division. One drummer is from Santana and the other is from Cock Sparrer. So all together Roxy Music Mott the Hoople and the Dolls,Am I in the range?
I wish all the other guys also dressed up like predatory Sesame Street characters, would put the whole act's visual presentation completely out into space.
from what I understand this band were a big deal in 1975, but sort of got eclipsed by what came in the next few years and now days aint well known by the later generations. is that correct?
@@warrogue1798 yeah, I sort of recognized the song title cause Crass and Nina Hagen referenced/covered it. otherwise I'd have no idea who this band are. so to their generation this band were a big deal but obviously it doesnt stand the test of time when you have 'music historians' doing TV documentaries about the 70s cherry picking what musicans they think are relevant to future people. thank god for youtube.
Absolutely SHREDDING. One of the greatest live bands EVER.
This never gets old.
Those two drummers are killing it!.
Majestic!
The Tubes
"White Punks On Dope"
Live On Their Now Tour, 1977
Jesus, Fee looks like the "it puts the lotion in the basket, it keeps its' skin soft" guy when he does his famous tuck dance.
Class!

Probably. I've liked them since the '70s, and they should be better known than they are nowadays.

Motley cruel version is brilliant , but you cannot better the original. Sorry
I hate the expression OMG but I will make an xception this time
nothing like cutting out the curse words & cutting the song short 😒
Looks twisted sister
Daniel Smathers I believe Dee was influenced greatly by Fee, Bowie & the Dolls ?In the Mid 70s Dee looked just like Fee here lol !
Who can ever know how old any of them are since the who whole fucking is mimed.?
Jesus Christ.

Saw them years ago in Brighton. Total Crap. Squeeze on the other hand hit the mark although I don't like them now.
Complete crap
