And ... if there was live (non-synched) video footage of Rocket From The Tombs, Radio Birdman, the Ramones, all the UK punk bands (Pistols, Clash, Damned, etc.) or any of the L.A. punk bands (Germs, Weirdos, Black Flag, etc.) -- all of which we predate, by the way -- doncha think we would've heard about/seen it already?


Wasn't yours sitting in a closet for the 36years since? When I said I'd love to see it I meant I'd love to see it, not that there was much likelihood. though could see the possibility of similar recordings being done in an art scene like that in Cleveland.
There does seem to be a lot of footage turning up on the torrent sites from contemporary tv shows etc which has been very interesting.

I've still got to get around to buying your dvd, which I've been meaning to do since posting the initial message. Thought I might be able to pick it up in the Rough Trade shop in London but the counterstaff I asked hadn't heard of it. Might be a good place to have a few copies if you want to go that route. They normally have been pretty great with obscurities etc or maybe better phrased as unknown/unsung artefacts.
Looking forward to seeing this so will order shortly.

BTW I did get hold of some Radio Birdman stuff over Xmas that a friend had recieved in trade years back. Live at Paddington Town Hall in presumably 77, plus some early 80s Australian retrospectives. Also got a very rough copy of The Saints live at Paddington, which was Radio Birdman's home turf
