5.0 out of 5 stars Extra Clash footage is the reason to Buy This!!, July 12, 2009

This review is from: Punk in London (DVD)

The bonus feature here was worth the purchase price. The Clash live in uncut, static camera shots really show what it was like in the balcony, on the floor, etc. Wish Paul's Bass was higher in the mix. The ladies may appreciate Paul's fishnet shirt. The film itself is interesting in a few spots, with X-ray Specs, The Jam, etc. Some bands like Boomtown Rats are only seen in passing. People who were "there" will find this a nice bit of nostalgia. Alas, a bunch of pontification by uninteresting people make the film a slow slog. Nice to be reminded of 70s into 80s hairstyles though! Ugh...

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than DOA., March 14, 2010

This review is from: Punk in London (DVD)

The best document about the 1977 era London punk scene. Better than DOA, way better than the Punk Rock Movie. And, its even better on DVD than VHS. Widescreen and somehow, it seems better quality (although realize that this is a 1970s film school project that must have degraded somewhat). The only thing strange is why the VHS has subtitles for the Occasional (and I do mean occasional) introductory sentence in German that are missing here, but that doesn't detract from the film. Live performances by many artists who were there, except the Sex Pistols (where else can there be any live (in the studio) footage of the Subway Sect anywhere). Interviews with musicians. You can hear, for example, Poly styrene and Gene October, among others, discussing the punk scene, the current political/social climate, and their groups. Damn this is good.
