@Khultan Hi, i would argue that the best original 1970's punk still had some elements of r'n'b and rock and roll, and it was the next era, post 1981, when things got very tuneless and dull. Cheers

@charlyW34 1970s 'Punk' faction did everything they could to remove all of the rhythm and blues that's why it sounds simple and retarded while played loud.

They were a Great band, who brought the 'British Invasion' to Texas, in the mid '60's! Then it spread from there. The whole time, I was saying, where's my luggage?

Now I have to admit a mistake. Lenny Kaye used the term "Psychedelic Era", not punk. However, the no b.s. attitude and swagger of many of these bands certainly did inspire and influence the "punk" bands of the 1970's. For many of us that like raw uncompromising rock, "punk" is a term of endearment, not a slag. I meant no offense, and as I said, really like the film and the band.

I sure wish folks wouldn't take these descriptive terms so literaly. If you understood the tone of my comment, you would see that it was positive & very complimentary. Some people get upset if you call this style "garage rock", others if you call it "original punk". If I simply called it underground rock someone else would have likely been offended. In my defense, I encourage you to explore the classic Lenny Kay 1972 "Nuggets" compilation LP 1966-69, which he called "the first punk era". Cheers!

@charlyW34 Punk? You don't know what you're talking about.

@charlyW34 Agreed. All the more impressive when you consider they look like a high-school band! The golden age is gone forever, kept alive thanks to aficionados and the web.

This film is very close to the motherload of original punk artifacts. Very cool, not a tribute, wanna be or retro band, but the real thing. An overused term for sure, but epic. A gem of simplicity and as such, full of soul.
