MC5 ~ Live 1970 ~ Wayne State University, Detroit, MI

[@ronbo11]

Sometimes I have to re-watch this video to experience some of the most exciting, visceral rock ever caught in action! It's a soul recharging jolt to the nervous system. I about 4 years old when this was filmed, but I'm so glad this kind of material has been shared on KZbin.

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.

[@charlesbrazell2136]

@@jamiehovis7722 You don't know what you're talking about, the bass player is very good; lyrical, with chops-and solid-you couldn't ask for a better bass player than this, and I ought to know because I've been playing the instrument for over 40 years(actually started playing the instrument over 45 years ago)... i mean one doesn't have to play like Stanley Clarke or Billy Sheehan to be considered good-those guys are exceptional and if that's your standard by which you judge all bass players, I think that's an unfair(and moronic) standard by which one judges all other bass players-and I'm just curious, who would be considered good by you? 10-4-24.

[@jamiehovis7722]

@@charlesbrazell2136 he doesn’t even lock in with the drummer. Sometimes he’s literally playing nothing, at other times it’s literally random notes. The guitars are so loud and musical, likewise with the drums and vocals, that it doesn’t matter too much but it would be better if he had the fundamentals down. He’s not even good by punk rock standards. Even Dee Dee Damone locked in with the drummer. I also read Wayne Kramer book. He too thought the bass sucked. They eventually fired him. Wayne plays bass on their studio albums back in USA and high time. He’s only on their first live album.

[@charlesbrazell2136]

@@jamiehovis7722 It's funny, you are the only one to put down these very fine musicians; of all the comments I've read so far, you are the first to condemn their level of musicianship-and by the way, just who does rate in your opinion? Secondly, I googled a little bit of info on the history of the MC5-Wayne Kramer, in criticism of the group's first album, criticized everybody in the group BUT THE BASS PLAYER, Michael Davis-and-after Davis left the group, it appears they went through three other bass players in a relatively short period of time, to find someone who could apparently, equal the fine work that Davis had done while he was with the group! And if it's true that Davis was fired from the group, I'm willing to bet it wasn't due to his lack of musicianship! And as far as his "fundamentals" go, I won't even dignify your questioning his musicianship on that level with a response on my part-I'll let someone else who sees this respond to your IGNORANT STATEMENT about Michael Davis' lack of fundamental training, which he obviously had! So I wonder now, where you're really coming from with all of this put down of the bassist, and it appears the rest of the group also-by the way-I think PUNK-ROCK SUCKS; not much to it if you ask me; been listening to/aware of stuff like that for over forty years, and I remember groups like the Dead Kennedys and the Plasmatics and what have you; nothing challenging to it, instead, the same old 100 mile per-hour lines(tired sounding) that they've been playing for the last over forty years! And talk about loud-those cats are probably the loudest musicians of all the musicians there are! You can't hear the bass player for all of the LOUD, SCREAMING GUTIARS that are playing, as the bassist and everybody else is playing, so don't give me that crap about the MC5 being too loud; on the contrary, I think you are a jerk who looks for an opportunity to condemn real art-which everybody else clearly sees is art, but you! And as far as the bassist not locking in with the drummer, I think he does, and I don't hear "random notes", on the contrary, I think it's YOUR LACK OF MUSICAL EXPERIENCE that shows, as you've conveyed in your response-and as I've said, it shows that you really don't know what you're talking about! And you said: "The guitars are so loud and MUSICAL"! What kind of IDIOTIC statement is that! Guitars are supposed to be "musical", the same as every other instrument that has ever been created, and from what I hear in this video, they are doing a great and kick-ass job at it, and apparently everybody else thinks so but you! And they don't sound that loud to me! I've heard louder, believe me I have! Furthermore, what is wrong with being as you put it, "musical"? That's like saying it's wrong to "doctor", about anyone who is a doctor! That therefore, is the objective of all musicians, to be musical, and so I wonder, as I've said, just where you're coming from, because your statements not only reflect someone who obviously, DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT, but maybe, you are a BITTER AND CONDEMNING PERSON-to find fault in that which everyone else-certainly most people in this world-find beauty and joy-one thing's for sure, I wouldn't ever want to be you. 10-4-24.

[@jamiehovis7722]

@@charlesbrazell2136 it’s musical in the sense it takes up most of the sonic space. Bands like the Beatles or nirvana the guitar is doing less. The bass was also criticized . Are you referring to their first producer? Again I’ve read the hard stuff by Wayne Kramer. He even talks about how he “never listened to the bass before”. That’s why Wayne Kramer plays bass on their first studio album! Michael wasn’t cutting it. In fact Michael was doing heroin while the group was recording back in the USA.

[@keldsleepnot7961]

​@@itjustlookslikethisthat's the second time that I've seen you demean the MC5. You seem to think that longevity or selling out a stadium equals quality. Shame we won't both live for another hundred years because I bet you that by then all the bands you could name as the best won't be as influential to bands in the future as the MC5 will be! If you look at the influences of new up and coming bands although they will mention some obvious outfits like the Beatles as an influence they will more consistently mention more obscure outfits like the MC5, the Stooges, Django Reinhart, Zappa, Ian Dury, Shonen Knife (one of Kurt Cobain's favourites), Link Wray, even the Shaggs. Legacy will never be as important in music as the feeling that creeps up your spine!

In the background you can see cars going by on the Lodge Freeway, heading downtown and out of town. Most young people in this crowd were buzzed one way or another, the music alone was a trip. Kick Out the Jams was the punchline we all waited to hear and watch. Place went nuts. Back in the day.
