Dead Boys

May 6, 1978

CBGBs, NYC

a.k.a Dead Dolls show

(actual time of show: 3:00-4:00 AM 7th May 78)

Excellent audience

(Although some believe this could be a soundboard, it sounds more to me like

it was recorded with a mic set up on stage away from the audience.)

lineage :

trade > cdr > mediamonkey > flac level 6 > torrent

Guests: Jerry Nolan (drums), John Belushi (drums), Jonathan Paley (guitar)

This concert, known in trading circles as the Dead Dolls show, was a benefit

for an unknown cause. Dead Boys drummer Johnny Blitz, recovering from being

stabbed five times in a fight, was not at this show. Jerry Nolan, formerly

of the New York Dolls, but with the Heartbreakers at the time of this show,

plays drums on most tracks. John Belushi plays drums on "Sonic Reducer" and

"Hey Little Girl". Jonathan Palay, of the Paley Brothers, sat in on guitar

for "Hey Little Girl" while Cheetah Chrome took a break to pass out. After

playing two cover tunes that Cheetah may or may not contribute to, they

finally call it a night.

Tracks 1, 2, 5, 8 and 10 are New York Dolls songs.
