In 1976 our family visited Disneyland. The Dictators Go Girl Crazy album was advertised pretty heavily in Circus and Creem magazines and I was on the hunt for the record but no luck. The night we pulled into LA I went for a walk to the mall.; a record store was holding a Midnight record sale. I was one of the first in the store. I asked a couple of the sales people but they had never even heard of the Dictators. One of the managers heard me asking the sales people. He turned to one of the other managers and asked if he had heard of the Dictators. The fellow said, maybe, and went in to the back/warehouse of the store and 10 minutes later came back with the record! I was stoked! 45 years later, still have the record, still listen to it! A great band.
duderino - can i tell you how much i love, LOve stories like this. i too went to disneyland in 76 with my family (7 of us in a suburban from wa state). i had no idea who the dictators were then.. so i applaud you for being so ahead of me. i just absolutely adore real story's like this. i hope you are well. -barbie:)
lucky mf hahaha that rocks
@@8barbies779 they didn't have Suburbans in the 70s
they were the greatest bar none that I saw, and luckily for me, got to see them earlier on, in the early seventies, a couple times, once in a smokey pool hall and secondly at a anarchic rural rockfestival where people like them led to the complete takeover of the concert and all the open air drug sales by the people...liberate the highs>> all of a sudden, all these people's blankets piled high with psychedelics and more natural mind altering substances, up until then, sold from carnival trucks, like cotton candy, now liberated, and free!! needless to say that day, third, a saturday, and the next, when the stooges played sometime in the morning were one big trip out...
@@Drmidnight680 yes they did
Ross The Boss pre-Manowar and Mark Mendoza pre-Twisted Sister. These guys were such an awesome band.
@@doubleclutchingpunk
Why, so what! Better bands have done worse. And, you still liked it then, now or will at some point, some other time.
How do I know, you may ask? Because, I am old enough and mature enough to know these things about people, egos, sentiments, and tastes, or style. And, I have into music and have known something of its social dynamics and attitudes for quite some time now.
@@doubleclutchingpunk
So what if school of rock could do it better. Is school of rock willing to take the risk that these early progenitors of punk were willing to take at a time when it was too risky to do so like these proto-punks once did?!! We'll see!!!
Top Ten Kempner is pretty cool too in his athletic garb!
@@KurtSlotkowski-hj8jd You tell 'em, Kurt.. Or else, he won't, you forgot to add. How do I know? Because there are no other options left...
doubleclutchingpunk Tell us about your accomplishments .
We need this in modern world.
YES,YES,YES!!!
Now!
Amyl & the Sniffers
RETVRN
This era gave us the most exciting time in British music . Listening to the chewing gum dross now we need a return back to energetic young music.
Incredible performance! This is one if the most powerful Rock Bands Ever!
Son Punk/Rock, y con "Ross The Boss"...!!NI TE DIGO!!
Tenían un estilo, muy parecido ha
"MC5" Tanto Manitoba, como Tyner...!!Que pedazo de voz!! Y qué FUERZA en ellas.
Rest in power Top Ten Scott Kempner 🎸
This was captured in time when NewYork
was the epicenter of
the punk scene (and oh what a time we had ) !
You lucky bastard!
Miss them days. Long LIVE ROCK.
Wish I could form my own street gang picking up fights with other dudes from Coney Island, Queens or the Bronx while listening to old classic Punk lol
Chatted with a guy that used to catch the Stooges and the MC5 on the same night at the grande ballroom in Detroit around 69'. Another period in time that would of been fucking amazing to be at ground zero for.
One my favorite bands ever. Good to so many other fans of the original punk rock sound . They deserve more credit along with some other pioneers in the punk rock evolution.
in 1977 I bet noone would believe that in 2021 I would be enjoying this performance sitting in a car while it is in traffic on a freeway, or that CBGB would be gentrified and become a nostalgia boutique
Who would have cared back in 1977 about this shitty 2021?
Or that I'm sitting with this machine in front of me that transports me to the past, ever since it was my birthday last week I had the Beatles song when I'm 64 playing in my head peace, ☮️
Tiempos maravillosos que ya pasaron y tiempos maravillosos que vendrán
True Unai you are painfully true
@@Ancistrocheirus ahahaaa))
I saw them perform at Prince George's Community College (Maryland) way back in the mid seventies . . . They were the opening band for Blue Oyster Cult and Iggy Pop and the Stooges. As far as I can remember, the ticket cost me around $5.00.
Gotdamn what a show!
I'll bet that even when you adjust that price to account for inflation it's still a lot cheaper than the average concert ticket today. And the music was better than a lot of what gets released today, too.
WTF! Where was I? I'm discovering the music mashiah of my little posse really let us down.
This is hands down my favorite cover of any song.
A fantastic version. Bloody brilliant.
Dick Manitoba was from my neighborhood in the Bronx. We knew him as Richie Blum. We used to hang out at Bill and Rays bar White Plains Road in the Pelham Parkway section of the Bronx. We would drink and go outside and smoke some pot. A real COOL AND WILD GUY.
@Charles J. That I don't know. I went to PS 105 September 1956-June of 1963. I did go to his Club in the East Village in September of 2007 with a friend of mine that knew him also. We were there for a few hours but Dick never showed. The Bar Maid said he should have been here by now. So we wrote him a little letter and left. Never went back.
This stands the test of time. Still awesome.
Every time I want to see something truly amazing I click on this video!..
Never heard of the band but this is so sick! The guitarist during that solo! Man! This band is awesome
Omg BUY Bloodbrothers RIGHT NOW. Thank me later
ROSS THE BOSS!
The guitarist is ross the boss. Played for manowar for a while
I never heard them either great power wish I could have more
Look for the rest... even their last release which i can't stop playing...
There are some great lyrics too (avenue A, and ... and nearly every song...)
Fantastici,ho avuto la fortuna di vederli qualche anno fa in Italia e bermi due drink post live con il bassista.....una delle migliori cover,Grandissimi.
The dictators, the damned, the ramones, the new york dolls and death. Nothing else matters.
My first concert was Kiss '77, and the Dictators were the opening act. Great start to many shows to come!
Better than KISS no doubt
I read somewhere that KISS kicked them off the tour because Dick Manitoba tried speaking Yiddish to Gene Simmons. Sucks if it's true.
Saw them live in a club about this time. Was standing 30 feed directly in front of Ross' amp. Ears rang for three days and they're still the loudest band I ever heard in my life. What a great show!
I saw Dick Manitoba’s wild kingdom warm up the Ramones in Randolph, NJ. That was such a great show. I knew nothing about The Dictators until that moment
That’s up there with the coolest things I’ve ever watched
I saw these guys November 5th 1976 backing up Lynyrd Skynyrd at the Flint IMA Auditorium then I saw them on October 13th 1977 warming up Blue Oyster Cult at the same place , I had never heard of them
Tremendous. I was always into the New York/Boston scene even as far away as England. I was into the Velvets, Stooges, MC5,New York Dolls etc so when all that CBGB stuff came out it was just a natural progression for me. Loved the Dead Boys, Blondie, Television, The Modern Lovers etc. know they were not all from New York but it was the overall scene.
Sure wish these guys would have made more music. They are an all time top 10 band in my book.
This is right up there with the MC5 at Tartar Field footage
Thats what a fantastic band can do to your mind 😂😂😂😂
I saw them in 1977 open for Blue Oyster Cult.
one of the greatest 3+ minutes of sonic magnificence !!
Loudest band I EVER saw. My friend has permanent hearing damage from the show we saw in Houston. Oh well, punk is dangerous.
Fantastic stuff. Seeing this on the Old Grey Whistle Test was how I discovered the Stooges.
Kicking ass on a major level !!
Love Iggy and the Stooges love The Dictators funking brilliant!!!!!
1:35 that down picking! Ross sure lived up to his name 🤟
They really are a great band. Bought the debut when it came out. Thanks CREEM.
Sickest bass player ever style for days! Love these guys
Mark "the animal" Mendoza as I recall on bass
This popped up in my recommends about a year ago, and I've probably watched it twice a day ever since during my furlough. Ross and Mark kill it. Hell. they all kill it. Amazing that we can just pull this up anytime now...
Love this! I have kids ask me " how cool was CBGB'S?" I have to say it was a shit hole but it was the atmosphere of the music and vibe that set it apart. Max's Kansas city was a better place but CBGB'S just had that feel.
Al's Bar on west Coast, friend walked in at random, saw the Misfits on stage
I remember that place as a shit-hole too!
I can still remember the smell of the men's room...
@@Beermaker2000 BAHAHAHA! that's why we snorted so much powder, so our sense of smell was dead.
in fact its so good i had to watch it twice !
Miss the bars & clubs & live bands
My favorite cover of this song.
Maybe better than original (the unique decent version of this classic). Animal &ross outstanding. Piece of collection, amazing outfits, love this
So ahead of their time . This is just great!
One of the greats, without a doubt.
This is one of the best things I've ever seen!..
Handsome Dick Manitoba is my fucking idol.
Nice
Back when we were young.
fuck, fuck, fuck!!!!! Great balls of fire!
I would not wanna mess with that drummer.
That's just my Uncle Rich may he rest in peace. Great Drummer sweet guy
Alex Fleming 👍hey alexo!
I had forgotten. Thanks for the memory.
Dothan civic center 1977
"We're taking it to the end baby! Here it comes, Search and Destroy...1,2,3,4!"
They do it justice and I'm a huge stooges fan
I saw only one show there, but I'm eternally glad I did.
I feel like S&D would sound like this if it woulda came out when Punk was big!
This is honestly a cool cover.
way before there time awesome
What a fantastic performance. I love the guitar player looking at Dick wondering what the fuck next!
kick ass New York Punk Rock!!!
This band was legendary
This my friends is what Rock and Roll should be all about
dude just murders on the bass!!!
That's Mark "The Animal" Mendoza from Twisted Sister
Best Veeeeeersion!
Mano!!! Eu não canso de ver esse vídeo! Esses caras tocam prá caralho!!! Os caras destroem!!! O show é animal!!!
No one plays this one like Iggy and the Stooges, hearing it the first time live with James Williamson back in Hammersmith was such a relief.
Agree. I saw them perform this song more than once around different venues in Michigan back in the late 1960s.
@@jimofannarbor1472 James Williamson just has the most violent tone of all guitarists ever. Sounds like a street fight!
Bloody brilliant! I preferred Ross playing like this than with Manowar!
@@jackiethedetestator7342 When Ross was a member of Manowar they were one of the best metal bands in the world.
Thats because Manowar is amazing! Listen to the first album Battle Hymns, it can't be denied.
@@ThornbushTilemaker The First four Manowar albums are phenomenal.
Ross The Boss rules !
How the fuk do you know who I support knucklehead ?
J. Bono 74 GIBSON LP Custom
@@bosstheross Amazing guitar! Did you changed Les Pauls to SG's for the weight? (I loved the white SG that you played on Manitoba's Wild Kingdom - The Party Starts Now video)
J. Bono 1964 SG Custom ! LPs are very heavy . Now I play MOSTLY my Grosmann custom RTB gtr ESP Vipers Gibson SG
@@bosstheross Thanks for answering Ross! What a coincidence. Today (23th of April) of 2017, The Dictators played in my city (Barcelona, Spain) and I took a pic with you before the show. Always a pleasure. Be safe ;)
I think it was 1977 (sometime around that period) I seen The Dictators open for AC/DC and Thin Lizzy bill at the Aragon in Chicago, my first introduction, I liked it
I saw them open for Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush that same year at the Aragon Ballroom. The crowd hated them. I ran and bought Manifest Destiny the next day. I thought they were great.
Damn The Stooges are one of my favorite bands but I gotta admit this cover is nearly better than the original
2:25 Maddest guitar solo in punk rock.
...played with the most admirable degenerate facial expression ... PERFECT
That's the Gibson Grabber owned and played by Gene Simmons. Sold to Mark Mendoza at some point mid 70's.
Wow! Great trivia.
Incredible rendition
I'd seen them cover this live a fair number of times back in the day. I guess I'd forgotten just how faithful to the original studio version it really was.
Really nice to see CB's documented in all its claustrophobic glory as well.
Fuck an A, very good music, sound like iggy
@@ourlakehouse116 the guitar playing duo is awesome, but the singer is no where close to iggy singing range or showmanship.
It's actually not very faithful to the original rhythm wise with the drummer taking a more steady beat and Marky Mendoza absolutely ripping it up bass-wise, but that's what I like it about. Makes it a bit more danceable.
@@breakmylegs7294 Yeah, was gonna say...
He's cool, but Iggy is very dangerous!
Let’s have a rock club in a bedroom sums up how claustrophobic it looks
I just saw them two weeks ago in LA opening for the Damned.
ROSS THE BOSS!!!!!!!
holy shit.
彼らに限らずカバーこそいつの時代もストレートにハートを貫いてくれる
Damn awesome!!! Never seen this before. When music was real....🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
This song is fkn is awesome.
WOW!! What a piece of rock history!!! Animal
got anymore of this mate, best 3 minutes of Rock n Roll ever, best use of drugs i have seen
Incredible.
Just saw Handsome Dick cover some Ramone's tracks live last night for the 40th anniversary show of the ramone's first gig at cbgb
I hope the singer feels proud of that guitarist ❤️
Damn, this was awesome!!! Gonne listen to this more and more and more!!!
dynamite energy. Best cover of this song ever. BABY DETONATE FOR ME
1977? Did anyone happen to notice the strat modified with the hum bucker?
Best punk band of all time.
THE ANIMALLLLL literally killing his goddamn bass man
gawd ... I will always love this band/song.... my first real rock album!!
Ross thé BOSS ! !!!!!! great guitarist
Temazo!!! excelente versión!!!
Fact hung j MCs run icy yummy yummy yo iii
Dictators Forever, Forever Dictators!
And this folks, is how you play bass. Good Lord!
Also, I've got five bucks for anyone who can verify just wtf is said in the beginning other than 1234. 😂
I *think* he says, "We're takin' it to the edge, baby! Here comes Search and Destroy! 1-2-3-4!"
As long as we're betting Monopoly money, anyway. 🙂
@@louisyoung1916 I think he actually says "We're takin' it to the end, baby! Here it comes, Search and Destroy! 1234.."
@@danielscissorhands Upon further review...I think you're right. I was close, though. 🙂
Easy come, easy go. I think this is yours... 💰
@@louisyoung1916 :)
You can see “the Animal’s” Metal future with the right arm riveted arm covering 😉🤘🤘🤘
Bad ass song.
Incredible!
Wow heavy shit. Never heard of these guys before
Great musicians
I always liked his powerful style. He´s great.
that is what live music is all about ! fantastic
Mark Mendoza on bass. Tearin stuff up
I was just about to say, that bassist looks just as ugly as Mark Mendoza from Twisted Sister...that explains it!
and...Manowar Ross The Boss on Guitar!!!
Lionel Ulloa Jr. LOVE ROSS!! He just did a song with Crystal Viper. STILL GOT IT!
Hard core
