Plasmatics - Squirm (Dr Pepper Festival, Sept 12, 1981)

In the fall of 1981 the Plasmatics were booked to headline the outdoor Dr. Pepper Festival in NYC where this video 'Squirm' was performed. The show where they blew up a car was the grand finale to the festival’s summer long run and explosive it was. The explosion of the car was huge and stage equipment ignited during the explosion can be seen continuing to burn as gas-masked roadies run to put the fires out. The next show following this, promoted by Jack Hoffman, brother of 60s radical Abbie Hoffman was subsequently banned.

[@melmortimer1545]

Good stuff lads ...nice find...keep up the good work...love Melanie 32.🤘

[@williamkoptis8883]

This is amazing

[@jamescastelli222]

The Video needed images of RICHIE STOTTS in it. It's weird that he was the most prominent guy in the band and he's not in this video. He was the reason I went to this concert back in the day, and followed the band for years.

[@SpiderWeb984]

I like their Metal Priestess era🔥

[@abaddonbolero9605]

Not ME...fan of Early Days and more natural look.

[@LannieLord]

I'm with you, Back in the day: PUNK and METAL ...did NOT mix .. at all. @@abaddonbolero9605

[@LannieLord]

Also hated the Mohawk . Loved Wendy w/ long hair.

[@melmortimer1545]

Looking forward to seeing Wendy on my break...❤️ Melanie 32 🌈

[@jdsaxon1049]

THE GREATEST ROCK BAND THERE EVER WAS

[@davidcreager1945]

Wish she was still with us ! R I P wendy !

[@spleeber]

As always, EXCELLENT upload!!! You never disappoint!!!!! Again, I thank you so very much for putting so much joy in the heart of this old man. What are the chances of any additional NYC club videos: CBs, Maxs, Club 57, The Pep, The Palladium, Bonds, Club 80s........ And how about the original videos which were played on the monitors at CBs in the early days? Wishing you all the best!!!!!

[@LannieLord]

You missed The Rock Lounge in NYC on your list.

[@97warlock]

Wes was so cool. holding that rythym down Tight.

[@spikeymike1971]

amazing !

[@TheColetta79]

questa donna è una fottuta Guerriera 💣💣

[@bobarnett7355]

Pure power

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

What riff does this song have 🤘

[@97warlock]

Not the Dr Pepper Festival, Jean was on Bass during the Pepper Fest, this is the new guy.

[@lfader]

Believe that's James Romanelli. I saw this lineup I still had a great time but once John and Stu were out of the band It just didn't have the same intensity ...... I was so locked into Ritchie Stotts .....

[@97warlock]

@@lfader I saw them Feb 83 & dont recall who was on bass . But yeh they were a rock solid Force with Richie,Wes Jean & Stu

[@josefranciscogilperez7047]

Brurtal !!!!😁

[@bobarnett7355]

The rod swenson lost tapes dvd has all this footage

[@thywarhag1131]

♥ ♥ ♥

[@jorgeo9495]

This must be the only pro shot concert taken from the rear behind the amps! Hilarious they try to hide Wendy's jiggling at all cost. Pretty damn silly. Cool clip though. RIP Wendy.

[@97warlock]

anybody have this full show?

[@ilbassodellamorte2563]

Love this, but they were better when Jean was on bass.

[@jerryalvarez7533]

Chimba de video...ufff

[@gthorp52]

drove me deaf for three days in phoenix

[@TheLustKillers]

Stop cutting Stotts out of footage !! Super petty and ridiculous. Especially from a visionary / artist standpoint. Richie brought so much charisma and energy. Swenson used to know better. This was art and now it’s Embarrassing.

[@lfader]

Loved Wendy but I was there for Ritchie Stotts! 🌟

[@cristianspiga7243]

🤟👍

[@irishguy13]

She sang like a bird. An emu is a bird, right?

[@PeterC-up9ue]

I'm Squirmed this time.

[@97warlock]

This is more like 1983

[@steven6611]

?

[@robinarcher964]

THAT!.........is so bad

[@newforestobservatory9322]

But would you take her home to meet your Mum? :) :) :)

[@user-iy1uz6cr6x]

Всё закончилось очень грустно - уныние и суицид. такова судьба безбожников. Мне её искренне жаль...

[@chuckdeless9891]

keep those stories coming of Wendy kissing her underage fanboys.

[@marcshelstead5355]

Worst punk band ever maybe

[@Bandito-Hidalgo]
