The Tomorrow Show - Punk & New Wave (2006) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Tomorrow Show With Tom Snyder: Punk & New Wave is now available on DVD. The Tomorrow Show With Tom Snyder began it's extended run in 1973 and ended in 1982. The Tomorrow Show With Tom Snyder: Punk & New Wave edition two disc DVD features eight episodes of the show. The episodes feature the full shows and performances. This DVD collection is a piece of history and is valuable not only for it's musical content but to absorb the views and opinions shared by Tom and his guests.
The two set DVD opens up with the October 11, 1977 episode of The Tomorrow Show. In this episode Tom is joined by Joan Jett, Paul Weller, Bill Graham, Kim Fowley and Robert Hilburn. Tom, dragging on a cigarette, discusses this new thing called "punk music," and what they perceive to be new wave. He is quite serious in his statements about the music form and even tells one of his male make-up wearing guests that he looks ridiculous. It's a great discussion about what was then an emerging form of music.
This set is wonderful for fans of historical television and for punk/new wave fans. I'll include the program list for those who are interested since it's not with the Amazon description
