4.0 out of 5 stars Hey DK - Why Do You Think Old Is New Again?, Nov 10 2005

ReadyForThe80s (Montreal, Quebec) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Live at the Deaf Club (Audio CD)

I recieved this cd today so it not like I've had the chance to listen to it for hours but after a one-time-listen, I like it. I don't feel that I've wasted my money on it. I think Gaslight is absolutly great, and the sound quality isn't THAT bad. I was expecting much worse. I rate this 4 stars for Gaslight, overall sound, and Biafra's amusing banter. The thing that I don't like is the cheap-ass, boring, 4 page insert trying to look like their past insert format and that the cd case is made of paper card (with a plastic cd holder). Not like this cd is a must have though, I bought it only because I couldn't find Gaslight and I Have The Right to download! Go listen to it at a record store - befriend someone who works at a record store - bring your laptop there and copy it but don't base your decision to buy this or not on the dinky samples - you don't want to have wasted your money or not own a great cd. I do wonder why DK can't come up with new songs though, I saw them here in Montreal a couple of months ago - not even one new song they played -but that's just my irrelevent rant.

This review is from: Live at the Deaf Club (Audio CD)

Ha!! This is crap!! There is nothing at all here that is worth the purchase. The only cool thing is the disco version of "Kill The Poor" which is actually REALLY good. This set was recorded before FFFRV was released and it shows. Every song pales in contrast to the later studio versions. I was very interested to hear how the extra guitar would embellish the songs, but a very curious mixing job almost hides it in back. And as for all the 'hype' about the unreleased song "Gaslight".... there was a reason it went unheard: because it out and out stinks!!! A strong chorus catch phrase does not make a good song. It sounds unfinished and chaotic. The cover songs at sets end are also pointless and boring... This cd sucks. 'First Mutiny On The Bay' (which was pretty atrocious... don't tell me those were the best versions of songs they could find for that turd, that's pathetic), then this... Come on Biafra-less Dead Kennedys... stop living in the past. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see these guys are only out for the bucks. This release would NOT make a fan out of the band. I'll repeat that one: It will NOT make a fan out of the band. Why not a "new" live album with their newest replacement (i won't say scab) singer? Play all the old crappy, forgotten tunes you dropped, rock out your best karaoke versions of your 'greatest hits' and give us a real treat to hold in our hands. Better yet, instead of rehashing the past, why not put out a NEW album, with NEW songs. I triple dog dare ya!!! See if Biafra was really as unimportant to the fans and band as you seem to imply in interviews. If he was, why this crap rehash? The only good points about this are the very clean sound and Ted's killer drumming on "Ill In The Head". Oh and nice booklet of "new DK art".... not!! Pathetic... another half hearted attempt at cashing in on past laurels with absolutely no clue. I admit it, you got me again with the proverbial carrot on the stick!!! Forked out another dime on you snake oil salesman. And like true snake oil, the promises were in the packaging. Stay Away!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars relevant irrelevance, Jun 21 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Live at the Deaf Club (Audio CD)

simply put...dks at their best. the band thrashes, the crowd is pumped, & jello mixes political pokes w/ irrelevant jabber. some classic lines in this one, like "...this one's for the blind hitler-saluter's...ill in the head". also, a great cover of "viva las vegas". personally, i don't think it gets much better than the dks rippin "holiday in cambodia". WARNING: PLAYING THIS ALBUM IN YOUR CAR MAY RESULT IN SPEEDING VIOLATIONS! PLAYING THIS ALBUM IN YOUR ROOM MAY RESULT IN BROKEN ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT! if you like the dks, you probably have this already, but if you never heard a dk song before, this is a great album to get you into the band. buy it, burn it, steal it, borrow it...just get it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Glorious punk from the past, despite the current acrimony
This is a great CD, which is important to say right up front. If it weren't for the lawsuit between Jello and the rest of the former DK's there would not be any controversy over... Read more
