haven't viewed this dvd yet but i've been waiting for it to come out since 
seeing it prematurely listed on netflix a couple of months ago.   the fact that 
they list the always great live PYLON as "The Pylons" makes me a little 
suspect as to the quality of this thing and it would have been better if they could 
have gotten the rights to footage of more interesting bands who played at the 
club (maybe the "more" listed are these bands?).   however, i still want to 
see it as i really enjoyed my time spent at hurrah's, the closest cool club to 
my grandmother's (uptown) apartment (where i mostly stayed when visiting the 
city back in the day)—fun dancing to great dj's and some killer bookings, most 
notably for me a new year's eve bill with au pairs, the mekons, and gang of 
four!   i truly feel lucky to have experienced that.   (i'd also like some info 
on the au pairs comp—42 tracks!—if anyone has it.)

btw, netflix lists another "live at hurrah[s]" dvd, this one from 2004 of a 
1980 show by a fave of all true typicalpeople, young marble giants.   i haven't 
seen it yet either so can someone else comment on it?
   
typically,
lydia
