The short version...each show was a crapshoot as to which band would show up....If The Repiacements showed up, they usually would do a pretty standard set...if The Placemats showed up, they were drunk off their ass and there were no rules or format what so ever. Anything could happen and often did.

Oh man! They played at South Street Seaport a some years back (2018?) and it was Lee’s birthday (8.6). I had always wanted to see the full band, afete only seeing a Jim and Lee as solo shows, and it was great!

I thought it was a decent watch… and probably worth it more so if you were there.

Saw them at Roseland in NYC in 1984 and then again circa 1990, I think..

I think you’d really like this album. There are a couple of cool 60’s covers on here.

One of my prized buttons is an X button with the lyrics for ‘the New World ‘ circling the logo. I bought it at a record fair many years ago.

I've read pretty much all of Christgau's reviews and yeah, he listens to a lot of stuff, but too often he's a smug jerk who thinks he's doing something far more culturally significant than picking cool records.

Funny thing about the Stray Cats —there’s a line in one of their choons :” …there’s a real square cat-he looks like he’s from 1974”

Which is kinda a funny line coming from an 80s band emulating da 50s,
AND also bc 1974 is like a godtier year for music- Patti Smith, NYDolls and yes the Ramones started around then. And ofc the proto- punk, glam, hard rock of 1974. I think there would be no HARD STUFF show without da thugs if ‘74😘

Sorry didn’t mean to ramble about the olden times if 1974 Especially on this- your birth year celebration show of 1983!!

Ha, yeah, it seems like so long ago, but it’s really not. I know people who have said that many people’s reference point for rockabilly and the 50’s in the 70’s and 80’s was Happy Days, which I think is kind of funny and weird.

The 70's invented the subsequent image of the 50s, just like the 90s did to the 70s. I'm sensing a pattern to pop culture recycling.

It's basically a Lenny Bruce album with some aborted songs and callouts to Bruce Springsteen. In fact Bruce prompted the legendary anti-Christgau rant!
