THE NEW YORK DOLLS consists of original members David Johansen (vocals) and Sylvain Sylvain (guitar) with Steve Conte (guitar), Sami Yaffa (bass), Brian Delaney (drums) and Brian Koonin (piano).

If the dude from Hanoi Rocks is playing with them, it'll be a hoot!

Man!!!! can that guy play guitar!!!!!!!!!!!!! White suit aside, the guy was a stage presence in himself!

Bucky?...help me out here...who was that buddy? ;D

Johansen appeared to be looking for the nearest exit during the performance that I caught on PBS, but the music overshadowed that fact real quick and he seemed to realize that he had another shot at
"life" and performed quite well. I can just imagine what this poor bastard must have endured over the last 30 or so years!!!!!!!!!!!...and to survive it all is a miracle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All I can say is WOW! Great music!

Thanks

I will definitely get this because I was there one of the nights, but I have to say I'm a little disappointed in the track listing. In this day and age, there is no need to have only 10 songs on a live CD from a show where they did at least 16 songs. I know the night I was there they did an excellent version of the Rascals' "I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore", I wish that was on the official release.
