Such a wonderful tribute to a legendary Doll and an inventive, inspiring solo artist.

Sad to hear about David.

“Live it up!” was my first “NYDolls” album (the originals were difficult to obtain and, in fact, my first proper NYDolls was the “Liostick Killers” ROIR tape).

I am sorry to disagree. “Full House” is a much better album that grand you from the start. And it was a true discovery to read the credits and find out that the manly advice of “First I Look at the the Purse” (“why waste time looking at the waistline?”)was a Smokey Robinson co-White.

100% with you on The Animals’ medley. David makes me forget about Eric and reclaims the song to the US.

No more original Ramones, no more original New York Dolls… Is it really a surprise that the current survivors of the early and actual CBGB era are Martin Rev (half of Suicide), Blondie, The Fleshtones and (Big breathing here) Talking Heads? Any thoughts (sorry for any omissions)?

Oh, I forgot. There is an MTV cameraman in the cover of the LP. Another case of David helping to start something big but not reaping any banefit? Was there a filming of the concert?
