Never realized how bad they sucked

i cant believe this priceless of course

Kramer and sonic smith lit the stage on fire.

Отстой.

A whole lot of energy , I whish I could have tripped through there . This is a good use of youtube , Right 0n :) QC

This is a band old kids on the block can be proud of.

❤❤❤

One of the earliest, and most interesting of American Heavy rock bands. RIP to all five of these legends.

Mick J. has nothing on Wayne K.

Is that Gail Driver on the intro?

In the beginning was the MC5. They were the godfathers of punk!

I saw them basic same set inMay 1971. They were fun!!!

Hi

Great! Kramer is like White Chuck Berry. So far ahead of their time.

4:12 song?

Used to practice in a garage near where I lived as a kid and we could hear them from 8 blocks away as if they were in front of us

The drugs were so much cleaner back then

No thanks….👎🏼👎🏼

When young people had passion and energy? Now we have acts like Taylor Swift Billie Eilish and Vampire weekend. B-o-r-i-n-g!

MC5 had serious players. They enjoyed what the brits would call ‘taking the piss’ out of the music scene at the time, which was actually a very healthy and creative time. Their drummer was phenomenal and of course there’s Wayne, the consummate showman. Their fantastic sounding live album had a huge impact on me and no doubt many other rockers. Love the MC5!

I was there. It was phenomenal! 10 1/2 years later i got into Destroy All Monsters with Mike (and Ron Asheton). That lasted two gigs. Then they tossed my autistic ass along with my keyboards outa there. Autism sucks more than anyone knows. It's a life sentence. I'm just glad this scene was there. In 50 years we have gone backwards a thousand years.

I had a compilation of rock on a 8-track. One of the songs was Kick out the Jams! I was 14 when this happened but the tape was a couple of years later.

dude's hair looks Brillo pad

I can hear where ted nugent got the riff for wango tango from

This is the essence of Detroit. Greatest rocknroll town ever.

My girlfriend and I saw the MC5 at the Olympia, it was crazy cool.

Sounds like s***

I saw them the same year, 1970, at Northern Michigan University in Marquette, MI. I was a senior in HS and a local group named Walrus opened for them. I had a Ford van and was a sort of part-time Roady for them. Helped with their set up and got to hang out back stage. MC 5 guys were all cool and friendly, and the show was incredible. Kick out the Jams, motherf*%#ers!!!

KICK OUT THE JAMS, MO-FO'S

I'm Black, 66 years old and digging this also-there's nothing like it in this world anymore-and-another reason I'm proud to be from Detroit(yes, was born and raised here). Didn't know about this group then, but have since found out a little bit about them-too bad I didn't become more exposed to this group's music! 10-4-24.

WOW! ❤

Was born in 70. This music was on the radio all over! My brothers were much older than me, and they had no problem introducing us to rock n roll ! Still listen to 70s rock and till I die I will! Rock out my brothers and sisters!

Film captures the era perfectly. These guys aren't very good. Blue Cheer 100x better.

Far out man

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS !!! 👍

Long Live MC 5..Long Live Patti Smith..n.. HORSES !!!!

Wasn't there but saw them many times at The Grande Ballroom another time at the Detroit Rock and Roll Revival hosted by Russ Gibb. Such an exciting time, progressive change in the air, a feeling of peace, love, togetherness and revolution. Sad that most in the audience are probably maga blockhead republicans now.

I was 13 and there!!!

Too bad Wayne didn’t have any stage presence.

I was there. Let me say that if you wanted to spend a great night, it would have been at the Grande Ballroom. Line up: The Stooges, MC5 and, of course, The Rationals. No better music. At 78, I still love all of them! Rock on! Miss you dear friend Fred Sonic Smith...always.

Censorship to the max where's the "Kick Out The Jams Mother-fucker"

Yikes!

These guys had quite a few moves - I don't think the crowd knew how to respond to them. The guitarist on the left is a true showman - amazing - I always liked that song "Human Being Lawnmower".

WAVX Tubeworks was a blast. Being that it was simulcast on the radio was a huge deal back then. I first saw Alice Copper there billed as “ from Hollywood California, Alice Cooper!” I’m pretty sure Gail there is Gail Perenteau.

Real audio garbage

This was a bunch of drugged-up noise. I like "rock" as much as anybody, but not this bullshit.

They were pioneers along with the early phase of Blue Cheer. Had to be more than two bands doing this then. I would love to hear about them.

Now that’s real Rock and Roll

LOL at the convoluted "How TO" at the beginning.. wait what?, run a cord from your Car... Yeah FM was new in '70...NEVERMIND.

This band should have been on a double bill with The Doors and jammed with them.
