    The the city is so gentrified now, but The 86's are still making music today in the classic 70's NY punk style. A few members of the band are from the old scene and Detroit at the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsjnrzy2Frk

    This footage is an unbelievable historical document.

    I can't believe this was in 1977. Man their sound and these songs were ahead of their time.

    I remember hearing those words “and then I’ll be 10 feet tall and you’ll be nothing at all” For the first time as a gawky gangly 14 year old pushover So many years ago feeling like I could take down the whole football team with my own bare hands. Of course I couldn’t, but punk rock made me not afraid of my bullies anymore.

    Incredibly high quality for 1977....like having a time machine

    I feel bad for anyone who didn't live through this era. I was 21 in 1977 and had just finished college. I came back to NYC (I'm from the Bronx) and everywhere you went there were incredible experiences. In that one year I saw Patti Smith, Television, Pere Ubu, The Ramones, Elvis Costello, Rockpile,  Eric Emerson and the Magic Tramps, The Dolls and way too many more band to list. It was an incredible time to be young and free and living in NYC.

    Saw the original lineup of the Dead Boys at the Whiskey-A-Go Go in LA in the spring of 1980. We took Stiv after the show down to 7-11 as he could buy beer and gave him money to buy us a 12-pack and we sat in the parking lot drinking beers with him. I was 15 and having the time of my life. Saw him a few years later at Perkins Palace with Lords of The New Church, which I had to admit was even better. R.I.P. Punk Rock Legend

    First PuNk rock LP I ever bought. Loud Young and Snotty. And I never looked back. At 64 I'm still listening to this music. Former co-founder of VILE.

       A girl I was dating back in 1978 took my to see the Dead Boys at the Rat in Boston. It was my first punk rock concert. I was mainly a fan of British progressive rock and American classic rock. I was certain that I was not going to like them at all. How wrong I was. I was absolutely blown away by these guys. I will always remember that show.
  • Stiv Bators...one of the most amazing intense epic legendary front-man to ever live...RIP dude...
  • glad to have been a kid who grew up on this music. thanks to my curiousity and rummaging through my uncle's old stuff. his walkman and cassette collection and comic book collection was a highlight of living at my grandma's where there was nothing else to do lol. now i'm 20 and still rocking out to these guys.

    this is so good. What energy and power.
  • Someday Punk Rock is gonna comeback and save Rock And Roll one more time
  • @benrawson6684
    This is one of the coolest things ever captured on film.
  • I saw the Dead Boys more times than I can count at CBGB's in the late 70's and early 80's. At the time didn't realize how powerful it was; when I look back realize how lucky I was...the time, the era, the anger. The Bowery was grungy and dangerous back then...fitting for the music scene at CBGB's. Today it's like Disneyland...sad in its own way.

    Wiped the floor with the Sex Pistols. One of the best Punk bands that ever existed. R.I.P Stiv
  • @oldfriend327
    This is a gem of a historic footage. Thank you and God bless you a million times for this.

    In a perfect world the Dead Boys would be getting the Kennedy Center Award.
