Johnny Thunders and The Heartbreakers play Pipeline at Max's, 1979

Johnny Thunders, Walter Lure, Billy Rath, and Jerry Nolan did a great performance at Max's back in 1979. The house was packed, the music dynamic, the excitement high... I'm happy to say I have it all taped. Here's the first song: a cover of Pipeline by The Ventures.

Only saw The Heartbreakers once, at the Music Machine in Camden around the late ‘70’s & they were amazing… a friend told me “you have to see this guy Johnny Thunders”…so I took his advice & it was one of the best gigs I’ve ever been to. It was a pity the LAMF album recording had flaws, it’s poor reception seemed to stop or certainly slow the band’s rapidly building momentum.

IN COLOR! Toshiba made the first color video camera in 1973. But few people had them. Big time kudos to Paul for shooting color in the 1970s.

Please more! Also the show of JT's at Irving Plaza looks cool

I got a 40 minutes video of this show. So I know there is more then just a couple of songs, so I really don't understand why you don't upload the whole show. Same for the other JT videos

That was amazing to see. I'm happy that it is taped and I want to live long enough to see it!!!

If only they could have got onto British TV with something like this. It would have been a totally different story.
