Since the Cramps performance is only 30 minutes long, there is like an 
hour of weird old Target Video clips and trailers tacked on to the end 
of the DVD, stuff like Crime playing at a California prison (the 
prisoners look bored, Crime looks nervous) and Z'ev banging pots and 
pans monotonously for a crowd of hipsters that look like extras from The 
Warriors, and Survival Research Labs with their flamethrower robot battles.

That Cramps performance really holds up too- it's before they were in 
total cartoon mode- Lux looks like he could be a member of Television- 
and Brian Gregory just rocks. Lux is obviously digging it as much as the 
crowd, not intimidated in the slightest.
