Good news. I'd love to see this. If "End of the Century" was any indication, embattled band documentaries are the best.

I got a bootleg of this a few years ago,I'm glad to see it get a proper release.

Hot damn! Now if only that Runaways one would come out...

I really am not a fan of live band videos, so the docs are my choice if I've gotta sit through a music-related tv thing.

Is there more than one Runaways documentary? I swear I watched one on tv about a year ago. I remember it being a very "warts and all" story of the band, and that Joan Jett wasn't a part of it. It kinda ruled.

I saw that one too.  It was called Edgeplay: A Film About The Runaways by one-time bassist Vicki BLue.  I remember it being pretty balls, out, too.

This film is one of the better rock and roll documentaries I've ever seen.  My brother, who is not a punk but who saw the MC5 more times than I did, agrees.
