Comment:
Rare copy of the Munks' legendary CBGB show from `77. The height of their rebellious period, just weeks before Simon's overdose and Alvin's subsequent breakdown. At the time, few realized the band was on the brink of utter collapse. In fact, the band rocked harder than ever that night. They'd pulled out everything they had stored for winter and their cheeks were packed with nuts! But by the end of the night the facade had crumbled. No one who was there will ever forget Alvin's drunken tirade directed at David Seville, the `Munks founder and manager: "When you feel like a laugh, go f*** yourself. And when you feel like a song, get back in your cage! We're the chipmunks! Guaranteed to brighten your day, like two lines of coke from our old pal Dave. We're the chipmunks... Alvin, Simon, Theodore... do-do, do-do-do-do [unintelligible]"
Feedback:
Wow! I'd love to hear this. I know this show is legendary, but I never realized it was recorded. It's a shame that Simon was flattened by an 18 wheeler on a rural highway in 1983 and Simon overdosed on some pcp-laced acorns a few years ago. A moment of silence please.
I was there when Simon OD'ed. I still have nightmares.
Woops! It was the depressed Alvin that met his make maker on the lonely interstate. My knowledge of rodent rock is a bit fuzzy.
haha, this looks fucking great, wonderful job.
aren't they touring the motorhead tribute circuit nowadays?
Alvin was a true genius - if there's a rock'n'roll heaven, then I'm sure Alvin took a wrong turn somewhere and is strung out in an alley near the backstage entrance somewhere...
Wow! I can't believe you got a copy of that show!! My bootleg tape got left somehow in my 'munks cage and got torn up pretty bad, crusted with 'munk scat and stuff. Funny thing is, when I tried to play it, it sounded much better. But then my deck ate the tape and was never the same after that. Bummer.
Personally, I'd rather wait to buy the 2-CD Deluxe Reissue, with remastered sound and a bonus disc of rare Chipmunks demos and b-sides, including the legendary Spiral Scratchings EP and super-rare live cover of the Stooges' "I Wanna Be Your Chipmunk."
Yah, the Chipmunks were great, but you've got to admit they stole their whole act from the Nutty Squirrels . . . And how come no one ever gives any credit to the Chippettes??
Wow! Having a knowledge of rodent rock that is even more furry fuzzy than Mr Moe's, this looks like a pleasureable delight.Of course, I'd heard rumours of these guys adding their support to the Ramones second album. But this is the munks nuts!
Haha, this rocks! Or squeaks. Either way. Personally I see Jeanette Chippette at least half responsible for the band's break-up. And the Courtney Love stunt she's pulling now - wanting Alvin and Theodore's acorns too? For shame.
Excellent! (Wasn't it Lester Bangs who said: "The Troggs are nuts, but the 'Munks-they have nuts. Big ones."..?)
I was there! The only thing I remember though was having to roll Seville (he'd just dosed up, needle still in his arm) out of the way to get to the toilet so I could throw up. Excellent tribute.
spits in the face of the dinosaur yawnfest that was gumby at knebworth, and rivals only the grunge-era care bears reunion for sheer sonic delerium. excellent picks all!
Man, wish I had been there. I heard Theodore is now a janitor for a senior's retirement community. Guess he shouldn't have blown all his money on hookers and smack.
