The problem is, nobody was brave of putting such a raw materials on a LP of Sire or a similar big label ..in the 70'.

This is brilliant stuff. Why no comments? I saw the Dictators open for Rush of all people. Thanks for posting this.

[@kickoutthejames]

That rules! I saw an old flyer earlier today for the Dictators and Thin Lizzy opening for BOC... would give anything to go back in time for that

[@bosstheross]

We opened for Rush, 1st record Fly By Night @ Alex Cooleys Electric Ballroom Atlanta Georgia 1976

[@janetowens7288]

[@BlackPatrick]

what? where did this come from? shocking. tremendous.

[@anthonypioppi273]

At 2:10 they go into the lick for Question of Temperature, originally by Balloon Farm.

A lot of the guitar part's sound like the Killer era Alice Cooper. These guy's were raw as hell and sounded great. The lyric's should have been recorded deeper in the mix on a few part's.

I love love love the Dictators. The Strokes may be Artier ( Garfunkler) but they are not lovable.

No "Go Girls Crazy" equals no Ramones! And without the Ramones 99% of today's bands would NOT exist!
