5.0 out of 5 stars An IN-Your-Face, Non-Stop Punk Barrage!!, July 14, 2001

This review is from: Dead Kennedys - The Early Years Live (DVD)

Finally, The Long Out Of Print Dead Kennedys "Target Video" has been released! This short, but powerful DVD, focuses on this important political hardcore punk outfit during their late 70's, early 80's heyday...Snippets of Jello Biafra's Mayoral campaign....And the never seen Target Studio Sessions...Any fan of early punk, or even today's, should definately get this piece of history!!! Sing-A-Long Special feature, and Band Bios accompany this disc. Check out my personal favorite visual,"Bleed For Me", which the entire band looks so totally "tight"...See For Yourself why Dead Kennedys will always be the Inventors of the Political-Punk Movement!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Right On!!!, December 7, 2003

DeeDee Vicious (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dead Kennedys - The Early Years Live (DVD)

This DVD was worth every penny, the audio was a LITTLE disappointing but you don't even notice when you see Jello Biafra running around and acting out the song and seeing fans tackle him to the ground and he never misses a word. And Klaus Flouride's amazing bass always all over the place and East Bay Ray (who only weighs about 8 grams) with his unforgetable guitar playing. An old ad for Jello running for Mayor of San Fransisco and a music video for Holiday in Cambodia and Bleed for me, this DVD is one to be owned by every DK fan. Seiing Classics like Kill the Poor and Drug Me live... I don't know what I'd do without this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Like Dead Kennedys? Don't miss this one., June 11, 2002

This review is from: Dead Kennedys - The Early Years Live (DVD)

If you like Dead Kennedys, seeing how they looked like in stage back in the late 70's is mandatory. Jello Biafra is, as usual..., the band's energy is fantastic. It's one of the best music DVDs ever, I give it 4 stars only because it is a bit short (30 mins). It's as raw and real as punk rock can get.
