Incredible footage! MC5 were such an incredibly influential band. We loved discussing the new MC5 book and many guitar topics and it’s inspiration with author Brad Tolinski on our show.

Welcome to the Rock n Roll HoF gents 🤘🏽🤘🏽

MC5, the loudest house band in the Grande Ballroom in the Sky. Long live the 5!

It is still very hard for me to fathom that the MC5 are now all gone. But if there’s a Heaven, and I pray to God that there is, these guys are all jamming together in the Grande Ballroom in the sky with John Sinclair and Uncle Russ Gibb hanging out. There are many times where I and some of my friends will go stand outside the abandoned Grande on Grand River and Beverly Rd, play KOTS and imagine what the scene inside would have been like on Halloween night 1968. Still gives me chills to think of all the beautiful madness that must have gone on within those hallowed, haunted walls. Long Live the 5.

Хей Ю.

Is this from Where The Action Is?

Brilliant, relevant and Frank making a true observation and he's been dead over 30 years

Possibly the most embarrassing and worst popular music ever recorded. I feel ashamed being a member of the society that produced this kind of garbage. Shockingly bad.

Got my preorder yesterday in the mail I like most of it 10 outta 13 . Rarely have LPs I like every song. Wish Kramer + Thompson could of seen it released . Seems like a good album imo.

RIP Wayne and Dennis …. Rock pioneers whose music will live on forever

All those USA flags! Trump would love these boys!

You can't teach this,pure talent

I've seen it all. Dope describes my rhymes, making all you emcees cold drop like dimes. You know MCSC is back again, and battling me on the microphone is like committing a sin. Scott the Chicago Seer MCSC the Chicago Seer Much love to Saturn.

Wayne Kramer - A force to be reckoned with - RIP man.

Brother Wayne

WHAT A POWER!!!

The production on back in the USA was sterile and lifeless. If this song sounded like it did on stage this would have been a hit. Whoever the producer was should have been fired what were they thinking with that slick production?

This is a joke right something out of Saturday night live the crowd only a few people are clapping and cheering most of them are looking confused. You get enough people smoking marijuana and intoxicated will show up to anything pretending it's Woodstock on MC5 really does suck

Samantha Fish rocked a great cover of this one at a recent show on the Atlantic City boardwalk. 🔥🔥🔥 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpjbi2Zoi96FeNEfeature=shared

The first true hard punk rock band! These guys were the least pretentious of all the bands coming out of the Northeast in the late 60s. They could really write and play too! Just a great F-ing band! MC5 All Night Long!!

The MC5 were the truest punks there ever were! Especially that Wayne Kramer

The godfathers noise/punk!!!

This. IS. Rock. N. Roll.!

Would love to see more footage from the Delta Pop Festival especially The MC5 and The Stooges...I wonder i the original film footage has audio?

5:42-The world's first stage dive. It was primitive, but started a trend.

Proto-Punk Pink Floyd

This one looks better than it sounds but it sounds ok if anyone is interested in SEEING the 5 perform! Its a good show! Right here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWXNhGaajJV3qqc

Looks like they tried to drown you guys out. First time I heard your music. I was born in the middle 70s lol. So I should have heard something from my parents. RIP Wayne.

pure early days punk from the states*****

Grand Ball Room Detroit

It wasn´t that the Detroit youth were born revolutionaries. They unwillingly became radicalized by the absurd Vietnam war and the military draft implemented by the political elite and their extremely brutal crackdowns. The young generation retalliated by taking over the culture 100%. Listen to Detroit artists like Bob Seger System´s "2+2=?", Grand Funk Railroad´s "People, Let´s Stop the War" and Edwin Starr´s "War". People were fed up with the elite.

thought they were lousy back then......still do!

The foundation!! way ahead of their time!!!

Im a NY' er we loved MC5. HELL it was written all over The Bronx. Should be in the RRHOF. But probably Adele or Beyonce beat them out of it. Thats how fked up it is.

Smoking doobies in back

Holy shit, this is amazing!

Detroit rock city

Quite simply the best rock and roll group. I used to go to the Village Pub in the early 2000's and lived in Birmingham, 14 mile/Woodward. Sadly it went from this glory to boring 2000s non glory pizza/brew fern joint zzzz. Right next door to former CREEM magazine HQ on old Woodward. I saw the FIVE LIVE in Peekskill NY June 14th 1969. FU world.

I am from there hometown ..played a club with D.Thompson at Cap'n ahabs.he sat in with my band...back in the 70s...where has the time gone !

Punk was actually invented in 1936 by George Formby with his ukulele hit "Blackpool punk Rock". The MC-5 stole all his riffs and licks!.

High octane rhythm and blues being lovingly thrown down the stairs by the one and only MC-5. Dig it!.
