Holy shit, where did this come from??? This is great. I had always thought that there wasn't very much Dead Boys footage at all. Little nuggets like this are golden. Thanks alot. Absolutely awesome!!!

if you`re looking for more rare dead boys-vids look for "never

mind the sex pistols-here`s the bollocks"(dead boys in la 78)at

my channel.

The most under rated band of all time. Never really got the recognition they deserved. Dead Boys were simply incredible. Belushi surely was a fan.

what happened? so much music seems lame or just a mediocre rehash? College/alternative/"Indie" music seems boring and meaningless these days. Music from the 30 or 40 years ago, like Deadboys or Yardbirds still hasn't aged, it's actually better then what's around now. I'm sick of the slick production techniques, that's not music.

fuck yeah sex pistols sucked. they had one shitty album and got all famous because of they way they looked and acted on tv

@unrelatedsegments You're so right , it almost does'nt bear repeating. Younger people have EVERYTHING at their fingertips , now . As Poison Ivy once said , "There's no excuse for not having good influences".

"Where you gonna go ? Where you gonna stay? Why try to kid yourself? You'll never get away !".

That is Belushi on Drums in the second clip . Jerry Nolan played , too , at the benefit (Which lasted , what , 5 nights , right ? And there were all kinds of guests , from Divine to Glen Buxton.) , but , the first clip looks like an earlier show with Blitz on drums. Look at him at the very end. Plus , Stiv's hair is two different colors...No that he could'nt have dyed it in the middle of the engagement. Who cares? It's great Rock'n'Roll.

[kurv64]

Dead Boys put the Pistols to shame. There is a reason the Rock -N-Roll hall of fame is in Cleveland. Stiv was amazing.

@kiely

ok, i see some one addressed that very question and said it was Jerry Nolan ... i can believe that.

[kiely]

i'm a bit confused as that sure looked like Blitz drumming for "Meat in Your Mouth" while Belushi was drumming for the Beau Brummels cover song.

OMG - I was *at* that benefit~ good times~

[udohood]

the Dead Boys wer essentialy a "pile-on moment" much more interesting bands were booked alongside their gig nights.....the fact of their triviality is evident in their supposed "reunion gigs" nobody cared nobody came.. The "pile-on" included Iggy himself : " they do 'Search and Destroy !" they kick my ass on that song!" Chrome and Zero wer guys "Beefed" fron Ohio steel mills Cheatah tossed guys over the Bar in CB's dust-ups...Iggy fibbed, and gay people were even stabbed by them

[vacuumnose]

was that jim carrol introducing them. im pretty sure it was.

Don't trust anyone UNDER 30!!!!

Or maybe 40 or 50 for that matter ....
