Often remembered as being punk before punk existed, The Stranglers ushered in the movement with their distinctively chaotic, hard sound, cantankerous attitudes, and black-clad look. From their inception in 1974 in Chiddingfold, England, the Stranglers have defied definition, honing their dark, moody, abrasive sound on the UK pub circuit before getting their break by opening for Patti Smith on her'76 UK tour. Known for the lively, raucous atmosphere of their live shows, which could involve anything from strippers to attacks on negative critics (one of whom they notoriously tied to the Eiffel Tower!), the band built up an enthusiastic and incredibly loyal fan base that remains true to this day. This DVD captures the band at their best, playing a show in San Francisco on their first US tour, and delivering material from their brilliant first two albums in a controlled cacophony with attitude in spades.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby 5.1 - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Target Video ReelTracks:1.
