Amazon for some reason didn't include details on this 10th episode DVD / CD combo of Kung Fu Records' "The Show Must Go Off." In addition to that the case of the DVD has a mistake it forgets to list "Do The Freddy."

I thought this was a great live DVD. It has band commentary, multi-angle shots of Word Attack, Amoeba, and Kids of the Black Hole, a photo gallery, and clips of the Adolescents live in 1982.

The sound quality of this DVD is very good. I would even say, I've never heard the Adolescents sound so good.

The quality of the film is quite decent. Obviously, money was spent on this production.

My only complaint, and it's a major one, is that the editing is frenetic. The camera angles change at a very rapid pace which severely detracts from the show itself. I could never read what was printed on one of the guitarist's t-shirt -- that's how rapid the point of view changed.

However, the Adolescents do put on one hell of a show.

I almost gave this a 3 star rating because of the editing.

With the same energy and passion. Punk is always the best kind of show to see live, because it's fast and in your face. The Adolescents are what got me into punk, and man, do they rock. Got some classic songs on here, and some new ones. Kids Of The Black Hole and No Way are AMAZING! Really great show. If you are an Adolescents fan, you NEED this.

Yep, I was there. It's a shame. This is an EXTREMELY underrated band and an even more underrated DVD. Sure, I love Green Day and Rancid and all of today's punk, but it's great to kick back, relax(or smash things) and enjoy the classics.... LONG LIVE THE ADOLESCENTS!!!!

Since the title, on Amazon, only said "Live at the House of blues", I took a chance and thought it'd be episodes of the television show "Live at the house of Blues" (aired during the mid 90's). I really didn't know what I'd get... but oh well.The dvd is actually a band called "Adolescents" playing live at the House of Blues.......For those would like to know, it was produced by Kung Fu Records, Inc.......Here's the song list.... 1:No Way.... 2:Who is Who.... 3:Self Destruct.... 4:Democracy.... 5:O.C. Confidential.... 6:Creatures.... 7:Welcome to Reality.... 8:California Son.... 9:Wrecking Crew.... 10:American Lockdown.... 11:L.A. Girl.... 12:No Freinds.... 13:Things Start Moving.... 14:Rip it Up.... 15:Hawks & Doves.... 16:Within These Walls.... 17:Word Attack.... 18:Amoeba.... 19:Kids of the Black Hole

All I can say is wow... This is better than any live DVD/CD I've ever seen. It beat's AC/DC's LIVE and Green Day's BULLET IN A BIBLE by a long shot. This is how punk rock is meant to be. The Adolescents are the bes punk band ever.

Man, I love this band. Now, I'd give you a track-by-track analysis, but, what's the point? It's the freakin' ADOLESCENTS!! OF COURSE IT ROCKS!!! Well, actually, KIDS OF THE BLACK HOLE is an AWESOME way to end the DVD. It rocks! BUY IT!!!
