> I have the live Dick Dale VHS. It IS pretty cool, but not as cool
as seeing him in person. No matter how loud I play the tape, it
doesn't have the same effect as seeing the real thing ( and the
neighbors get mad!)
I also have a bunch of the early surf movies like Beach Party,
etc. They have some footage, so you can see what the players look
like, but they are pretty weak to watch.
My buddy Maui has a ton of footage from the Las Vegas Grind
shows, with some good stuff from Los Straitjackets, Dynatones,
Ghastly Ones, and some other really great bands that have escaped me
for the moment. Someone should put together a DVD of some of this
footage. Maybe someone on the list would be up for it. My band The
Aqausonics, just did a show and we video taped it, and there is a
couple af cool parts on that. Maybe a DVD of band just on this
list, so there would be no legal hassles. Just a thought....
