Pretty neat.....
The quality of the video is not great, but this is nonetheless video of the original lineup of Flipper. Outside of the other Target videos, the film studio VHS, and scenes from EMERALD CITIES, seeing the original band on film is hard to come by. This DVD remedies that and makes available Flipper in the DVD format for the first time. Flipper opens for Throbbing Gristle at this venue. You see Genesis P. Orridge once in the video, which is cool in itself. The performace of Flipper is stunning. Powerful, out of tune, and HEAVY. Some rare songs and some of the "hits." If you are a fan, you'll love it and you'll know that you are holding history in your hands. Hopefully a few Flipper converts will come from the availablilty of this DVD, too. But, alas, like so much other cool music, this will fall through the cracks in the clamor for Journey, Eddie Money, the Little River Band, and their modern equivalents. Sad.
