OverviewReviewCreditsChart & Awards Live! At CBGB OMFUG:1977 Send to Friend jump to allmovie Dead Boys jump to allgame Review by Greg Prato Very little pro-shot, color footage exists of the first wave of CBGB's bands, let alone a full show. But the Dead Boys were one of the few lucky acts to have had an entire show taped (which was done originally for a TV special on the punk rock movement), and the results can now finally be sampled in their entirety on the Live at CBGB 1977 DVD. Perhaps since they knew they were being filmed that night, the bandmembers pull no punches in this performance, especially Stiv Bators, who hands in such an over the top performance that he often collapses on-stage at the end of the numbers. Also interesting is to see what an authentic CB's crowd looked like way back when — few to no Mohawks or safety pins are detected — for the most part, just a regular-looking crowd. Taped right around the time of the release of the group's classic debut, Young Loud & Snotty, many of the expected early faves turn up here in turbocharged form, including "Sonic Reducer," "All This and More," and "What Love Is," as well as an explosive set-closing cover of the Stooges' "Search and Destroy." Also included as a bonus are interviews with all of the group's bandmembers from the same day of the show, as well as a modern-day chat with Cheetah Chrome. Kudos to the folks at Music Video Artist Distributors for unearthing such a gem from the vaults. A must-see for Dead Dead Boys Boys fans and admirers of the early days at CBGB's. Album Tracks Live!

FILM / VIDEO REVIEWS Dead Boys Live DVD Review [MVD] by Oct 18, 2006, 15:17
Dead Boys Live DVD review [MVD] Page 1 of 1 FILM / VIDEO REVIEWS Dead Boys Live DVD review [MVD] By Oct 18, 2006, 15:17 DEAD BOYS LIVE! AT CBGB 1977 directed by Rod Swenson; Music Video Distributors, 2004 DVD In the 1980’s, long before cult followings were manufactured overnight by a couple of internet bloggers, when the idea of a retail chain that only sold coffee was laughable, and before there was a hit Broadway show called Hairspray, there was a movie called Polyester. Director John Waters delivered something in Polyester, which seemed to speak directly into my teenage ear. Much to my mother’s disgust, that film regularly filled the screen of our living room TV. It was practically a religious experience for this high school outcast who played in a naive punk rock band. My favorite character by far was Bo-Bo Belsinger. At the time, I had no idea Bo-Bo was played by Stiv Bators and I would soon discover that Bators was the typecast front man for the Dead Boys… an ever-present band in my adolescent years. Fast forward 25 years as I pop this Dead Boys DVD into my new broadband enabled MacBook Pro with my HD television glowing in the background. Instantly time warped to 1977, I witness Cheetah Chrome attack his guitar with precision guided machine gun picking as the band kicks off the set with “Sonic Reducer.” Still fucking kills. Immediately apparent is that this CBGB signified something other than a t-shirt logo and Hilly Kristal’s epic landlord dispute.

By Ariana Bowe Thesis Advisers: Professor Justin Patch May 2020 Bowe 2 Project Statement In my project, I will explore the New York City venue CBGB as one of the catalysts behind the rise of punk subculture in the 1970s. In a broader sense, I argue that punk is defined by a specific local space that facilitated a network of people (the subculture’s community), the concepts of DIY and bricolage, and zines. Within New York City, the locality of the punk subculture, ideas and materials were communicated via a DIY micro-medium called zines.

The Noo-Yawk-by-way-of-Clevo quintet—Stiv Bators, Cheetah Chrome, Jimmy Zero, Jeff Magnum and Johnny Blitz—were among the pre-eminent first generation of American punk bands back in the last ‘70s, with their Sire Records debut Young Lound and Snotty remaining one of the classic all time punk platters.

A Thesis: English Letters Department. Adab and Humanities Faculty, State Islamic University of Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, 2017. This research is aimed to show how punk culture portrayed as a counter culture in CBGB film. Through qualitative method and descriptive analysis, this research use the characterization of Joseph M. Boggs and counter culture concept by Theodore Roszak to analyze the film. Based on the research findings, punk is depicted as a rebel, socially aware, and not judging from someone status. On contrary, the society in CBGB (Country, Blue Grass, Blues) film depicted as a money oriented, only thinking about the profit from their job and dress neatly. After understanding the characteristic of punk and society, it can be seen that they reject TV because it is part of the popular culture that has a low quality, punk also leave their family as the form of Do It Yourself motto.

Inside Punk Rock's Hard Core in Its 1970S Heyday: Never
INSIDE PUNK ROCK’S HARD CORE IN ITS 1970S HEYDAY: NEVER- SEEN-BEFORE PHOTOGRAPHS SHOW REVELERS AND ARTISTS EARNING THEIR STRIPES AT THE LEGENDARY CBGB-WHERE PATTI SMITH PERFORMED IN A NECK BRACE AMID THE FRENZY OF GRUNGE AND MUSIC By Regina Graham, May 18, 2018 Forty years ago, a tiny East Village club became the haven for punk rock music, ultimately altering the course of music history. With walls covered in graffiti, the smell of beer and cigarettes were constant scents lingering inside the CBGB during the 1970s and 80s. Located in what was then a seedy and grungy part of New York City, the venue became the stuff of legend due to the numerous bands that took to the stage. Patti Smith, the Ramones, Blondie, The Dead Boys, Television, Alter Ego, Elda Stilleto and more all performed gigs at the club located at 315 Bowery into the wee hours of the morning. CBGB, which stood for Country, Bluegrass and Blues, quickly became known globally as the spot for hardcore punk and was often a stop for up-and-coming bands hoping to make it big. But over the years, gentrification took hold, and the grungy neighborhood - that was once known as New York's 'Skid Row' due to an overwhelmingly large homeless population and where CBGB belonged - transformed into a haven for hipsters. As a result, the owners of the venue could no longer afford the skyrocketing rent and the beloved club closed its doors for good in 2006. Two years after closing, a pricey John Varvatos men's retail store took its place, angering New Yorkers enough to protest outside of the store for days when it opened.
