Live at The Rat - "Boy From Nowhere" - DMZ

Recorded live at The Rat - Boston - 1976.
In 2001 the legendary building that housed Boston's infamous Rat was demolished, but this recording (catalog #528, same as the address for the establishment on Commonwealth Avenue in the heart of Boston) remains as evidence of what transpired in that "cellar full of noise." Inspired by Hilly Kristal's Live at CBGB's, this is truly the companion double LP to that disc on Atlantic, though the Boston compilation came close but failed to obtain major-label release. Recorded September 27, 28, and 29th, 1976, at the dawn of the "new wave," important and historic live recordings of some of the scenemakers live on within these grooves. Long out of print, it is considered to be the Holy Grail of Boston rock and roll.

All Hail MONOMAN as a great front man. As a New Yorker, I loved it when the Bosstown bands invaded NOO YAWK.

One of the very best songs on the album--you have the clip labelled right for YouTube, but the title in the video attributes the song to the Third Rail. DMZ is correct. One of the single most exciting bands I've ever seen.
