[bomp] New York dolls

[Rob Gronotte <rob@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Read this and several other positive reviews of recent NY Dolls 
appearances on this list and just woandering what gives - I haven't seen 
any of them, but I am a huge NY Dolls fan, their first album is one of my 
favorite ever, and I have everything I have ever seen by them for sale 
anywhere.  However, I got the recent live CD from what I guess was their 
first "comeback" show, at the Royal Festival Hall (?) in England, and I 
thought it was terrible.  No way will I ever listen to that disk again, it 
really just left a bad taste in my mouth.

Now I know seeing bands live in person is better, and I'm sure David 
Johansen would be fun to watch if he still vamping like back in the day, 
but if it is a good performance I should be able to hear it on the audio 
track, and I just didn't hear it.  Am I missing something?  Did anyone 
else like this CD?
