In 1986 Dead Boys reformed for a show in NYC. Of all the days they could've picked, it of course had to be Halloween. This DVD is the document of that show at the Ritz where Stiv Bators, Cheetah Chrome, Jimmy Zero, Jeff Magnum and Johnny Blitz all got it together again one more time. With an intro by none other than Joey Ramone and 17 songs, this is pretty cool stuff. They play their very own punk anthem "Sonic Reducer" twice and also throw in a cover of The Stooges' "Search And Destroy" towards the end. Even the fact that this DVD was shot with just one camera from way in the back of the venue like it was some 8th grader's school play can't suppress the fun!
As bonus material you get a TV interview from 1980 featuring Stiv plus the "Sonic Reducer" music video. All in all this is an okay DVD and if you're a fan of The Dead Boys' sleazy gutter rock, then you will want to check this one out.
Score: 6.5 out of 10
