I'm 68 and that was like us East-Coasters here in North-America mocking the Stones and how 'Poof' was easy to do in a great style that helped usher in Punk. England did fire a salvo back in the form of the Clash' 'London Calling' shortly after, but it was America's joke via the NYC Dolls, that help wake their youth up to the fraud, rock was becoming.

@Coogan Bull shite -they were a DIY band, that were getting away from Emerson, Lake & Palmer or the band Yes. NY Dolls the Stooges, the Ramones in 74. None of them were Punk because they came before, but they went to Europe, got Malcolm MacLaren (later manages the Sex Pistols) to be their manager, etc. They Are proto-Punk. Maybe you're more of an 80 GLAM (Gay LA Metal) fan, and want the Dolls as part of your lineage, but they just are not. Look at Johnny Thunders & the Heartbreakers, after the Dolls - very much Punk.

The New York Dolls were and still are a fantastic group. Just love them. There is no doubt that Punk would have happened in the UK without this group.

Came back to the UK and wanted to form a band which replicated the NYDOLLS music. The Sex Pistols were formed and the rest is history.

Yes, this is from The Old Grey Whistle Test. I have the DVD "The Old Grey Whistle Test, Volume 2" This performance is on that DVD, from BBC productions.

Its easy to see this was lip synced, and in front of an audience of one or two cameramen.
