THE definitive document of the New York Dolls.
In the early 70's, rock photographer Bob Gruen and his wife Nadya purchased a portable video recorder. In a period of three years they shot over 40 hours of New York Dolls footage. Now for the first time ever this footage is unveiled. This feature length documentary captures the band during early performances in New York at Kenny's Castaways and Max's Kansas City, then follows the Dolls on their tour of the west coast, including footage from the Whisky A Go Go, the Real Don Steele Show, Rodney Bingenheimer's E Club and much more. Intercut with revealing interviews, backstage banter and late night debauchery, this is THE definitive document of the New York Dolls.
iggy was the first true punk rocker, dolls came next.

This is brilliant. That's how 'backstage' is how you'd hope it would be.

@WreckageMetalRadio69 Id have to disagree and say the Ramones were more influential, to rock and roll in general. Not to mention the ferocity and speed with which punk scenes were created in different places when the Ramones started touring in 75.

i'm sure if you saw them live you wouldn't think so. trying to get great sound from a camcorder from back then is damn near impossible no matter how great the band is live. i can bet most of the time they sounded great, counting the times you saw them live in this documentary.
