Johnny Thunders & the Heartbreakers' classic 1977 "L.A.M.F." album performed by members of Blondie, MC5, Replacements & Heartbreakers
Sole surviving
Heartbreaker Walter Lure was joined by Blondie's Clem Burke, The
Replacements' Tommy Stinson and MC5's Wayne Kramer over two nights at
New York City's 'Bowery Electric' club in November 2016, and the event
captured for posterity. Also joining them
on stage were guests including Jesse Malin of D-Generate, Liza Colby,
and the Dead Boys' Cheetah Chrome. The DVD features bonus material of
interviews with all four band-members along with Jesse Malin.
L.A.M.F. is the
album recorded by Johnny Thunders & the Heartbreakers in punk-era
London, after they accompanied the Sex Pistols, Damned & Clash on
the aborted 'Anarchy Tour'. Being ex-members of the New York Dolls they
were lauded by the young punks, and went on to record the high-octane
rock'n'roll album, in retrospect labelled as a classic.
This live DVD, colored vinyl LP and CD follows on from the remastered 40th anniversary edition of L.A.M.F. and
the reissue of an extended Definitive Edition 4CD box set (and
triple-vinyl) of the albums many mixes and demos.
The release coincides with Walter Lure taking his L.A.M.F. show
on out the road again - this time with the Sex Pistols' Glen Matlock on
bass, Social Distortion's Mike Ness on guitar & vocals, and again
Blondie's Clem Burke on drums. They play six dates starting at the end
of November 2017 covering US east and west coasts, with gigs in Los
Angeles, San Diego, Brooklyn and New York.
