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,

Hello,
What does anyone know anything about this DVD, supposedly released about a week ago:
“Back in the Day: Live From Hurrah’s: New York City Raw!”
Quoting further from the cover-
“30 Individual Raw Performances:
The Go-Go’s
The Waitresses
The Dell Byzanteens
Public Servants
Buzz & The Flyers
The Pylons
The Lounge Lizards
Liquid Liquid
And more from the legendary New York nightclub”.
The presentation says cheapo rush-job, but the band names on the cover (okay, some of them) should be interesting to this list. I’d love to know what else is on here and whether it does service to the bands. Also, who is behind it and where does it come from…
I missed “The Pylons” back in the day and would love to see even snippets.
-GR
PS: and have I missed it, or has no one mentioned the Au Pairs 2-CD anthology due out next week? I see that there are new mixes of some songs. How much were the original members involved? I count on this list for back story. Please don’t disappoint!
