Product ReviewsTwistin' on the Devil's Fork: Live at CBGB's by Dead Boys (CD, Nov-1997, Bacchus Archives)

One of the Closet Classics...

This ia a great live show circa 1977 that will delight any punk fan and is a good representative of the energy and raw rock-n-roll that the Dead Boys crammed down the throats of a hungry new scene.We loved the taste! This is well worth your time and effort to acquire. I would have rated this a 5, but instead rated it a 4, because the sound is what might be expected from a 30 year old punk show, recorded in a small club, on who knows what kind of equipment, before the band had achieved their now legendary status. A few adjustments on my Equalizer brought out the sound quite nicely,while filtering out a fair bit of the 'white noise', and made listening to this classic, LOUD!, a true joy. The show itself is awesome, so regarding whether or not to buy/bid on this, in a word..... GOFORIT!!Read full review...

American punk rock straight outta Cleveland. A decent live disc considering it was recorded on a Walkman.

Decent quality bootleg recordings from cbgb shows late 70's. I like the dead boys, so of course it's recommended.

Those crazee Dead Boys.

I saw these guys back in the heady days of 1979 at the Whisky a Go-Go & Stiv Bators was a wild man. He curled up inside the Bass Drum of the drum kit when they were rockin' at full bore & during the last song of the set climbed up the amps & proceeded to simulate that he was hanging himself with the microphone cord. The music is of course wonderfully wild & sloppy snotty old school punk ala Sex Pistols. The sound quality is kinda funky hence the GOOD rating but it sure bought me back to them heady days of '79. Sloppy snotty old school punk. Have fun!Read full review...
