 BLANK
GENERATION/DANCING BAREFOOT (Music
Video Distro)
DVD. Music documentary. 1976/1995. Each feature approx
1 hour each. Blank Generation is a collection of black and white videos of
The Ramones, Television, Talking Heads, Patti Smith, Blondie,
Heartbreakers, and Wayne County. Dancing Barefoot is a documentary about
Ivan Kral (Patti Smith Group) and mid 1970’s Rock-n-Roll, mostly the
music played at the legendary CBGB’s. Many people are interviewed here.
Ok all you fans of the early CBGB times, this DVD is for you. Blank
Generation is what I wrote above, a bunch of old videos of the mentioned
bands. One appreciated annoyance here though; the video is not in synch
with the music. However, the video and music is cool. It was great to see
Joey Ramone and boy oh boy, Deborah Harry-Blondie- was a drop-dead babe
back in the day (sadly, she has lost it with age). Damn she was hot. No
complete tunes here and things seem odd with the out of synch audio/video,
but all that lends some good attitude to the show. Dancing Barefoot falls
along the same lines as above, only it includes a bunch of interviews with
the same group of people, and Iggy Pop. Oh ya, Bono starts this feature
off..why? Who knows? Wrong dude to have introduce this stuff fer ser. This
DVD also includes five Patti Smith videos. Man, Deborah Harry was a
babe...- Denis Sheehan
