Description
Johnny Thunders introduced the last song on this live album by saying "Thanks a lot, kids, it's been boring as usual, " but he was just being modest. As anybody who ever saw the ex-New York Dolls guitarist in person knows, his shows could be many things-ragged, out of tune, confrontational, transcendent-but they were never boring. Here, backed by ex-MC5 guitarist Wayne Kramer, Thunders runs through a typical set, i.e., a mix of R&B oldies, reggae, old Dolls numbers, even a Dylan song. The only constants are his splendidly askew guitar work, endearingly slurred nasal vocals, and hilarious audience baiting. This music may not always be pretty, but it's rock & roll, and it's from the heart. Recorded live at The Channel, Boston, Massachusetts on June 20, 1980. Personnel: Johnny Thunders (vocals, guitar); Wayne Kramer (vocals, guitar).

Quite a period piece. Johnny's ripped as usual. If you want a REAL Gang War collection, try the one on Jungle.

The band plays with precision on this set.Its not Johnny Thunders best vocal performance( as he slurs his way through the entire performance).Outstanding live set .
