It is even grittier, shakier and more primitive...and shows a nascent CBGB crowd well before anyone living beyond 14th Street knew anything about it. A very early Blondie on film, before the introduction of a keyboardist, and well before their mega-success in the early 1980s. Most of the band has long hair. There is also a pan shot of the bar where devotees can spot early Talking Heads, Ramones, and other suspect characters nursing warm beer. A key to the time is the lack of any "punk" insignia (safety pins, etc.) that would later spell doom for the NYC scene. A brief, nostalgic glimpse of a rare and under-documented meeting of rock and, well, art."
