Terrific documentary on punk rock: Watch it now

image
 
Far better than average documentary on punk rock and the punk/reggae connection. Researched and written by the very fine rock journalist Robert Palmer (r.i.p.), this is smart and comprehensive. Broadcast on PBS in 1995 and currently unavailable on video or DVD. Enjoy.

Could be wrong, but I think it’s Dee Dee Ramone and Richard Hell.

It’s okay, but I don’t like how they left out the whole Ohio-Michigan thing of the MC5, The Stooges, Rocket From The Tombs/Pere Ubu/Dead Boys, Devo, The Cramps, etc.

The focus seems to be on punk from 1977 on.

@Scott: Agreed!
Seems like they concentrated on the ska\reggae angle, which left out a lot of early punk.
