MC 5 – So Rare<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

From Back Cover:
<\/strong><\/span><\/span>Alongside their Detroit-area brethren the Stooges, MC5 essentially laid the foundations for the emergence of punk, deafeningly loud and uncompromisingly intense, the group’s politics were ultimately as crucial as their music, their revolutionary sloganeering and anti-establishment outrage crystallizing the counterculture movement at its most volatile and threatening.  Under the guidance of svengali John Sinclair (the infamous founder of the radical White Panther Party), MC5 celebrated the holy trinity of sex, drugs, and rock & roll, their incendiary live sets offering a defiantly bacchanalian counterpoint to the peace and love reveries of their hippie contemporaries. Although corporate censorship, label interference, and legal hassles combined to cripple the band’s hopes of mainstream notoriety, both their sound and their sensibility remain seminal influences on successive generations of artists.  This DVD compiles 108 minutes of essential rare footage of the band starting in 1968 through 1997.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
