I'm not sure any one Band or Artist invented Punk. Punk Is An Attitude... the Music is the Product. For sure MC5 had an attitude, and they had some well powerful Punky Noises. Though the MC5 very much had a Rock 'n' Roll sounding goin' on. But then... for-real, Punk Music is basically just an evolution of Rock 'n' Roll. Rebelling against parents, rebelling against whatever they got...! That can't really happen again. Generally Teens / Young Adults today are very often friends with there parents. Whereas 30 years ago Youngsters could get a wollop, or verbal abuse, from a parent 'cause of the music they could be listening to. Little Richard had that attitude, Chuck Berry (the real King Of Rock 'n' Roll), Jerry Lee Lewis, they all had that attitude. For me, I hear the early reiteration of the combination of the Attitude & the Music in The Sonics (the self proclaimed Anti-beatles). But really, it's The Stooges ! The Stooges are the start of Punk as we would come to know it to be. Iggy the Godfather of Punk Rock isn't a misplaced acolyte. For me, when it comes to listening to listening to a MC5 L.P. I mostly gravitate towards "Back In The USA", it probably my favourite of their L.P.'s. The MC5 are releasing a new album "Heavy Lifting" in October [2022], and they just completed a small tour in the U.S. in May [2022]. Though, I reckon there'll be a bigger Tour around the release of the "Heavy Lifting" L.P.🤞 There is also the MC5 RapidFlush Filter .

I was a Grande Ballroom freak and I was there when they recorded this album. We were right up front, five feet from the stage. We saw The Five and The Stooges all the time. We were at Tartar Field when that video was made. The MC5 opened for Jimi Hendrix at the Masonic Temple the first time he played Detroit and we were in the fifth row. We were at the Grande when Leni shot the MC5 movie. A great story about the Five is when they played Rouge Park in Detroit and about five carloads of Detroit's finest were ready to arrest the band for obscenity. After Wayne did his usual fine version of Ramblin' Rose and blew a Marshall head, Rob ran out and grabbed the mike and yelled Kick Out the Jams and looked up at the cops on the hill and said boys and girls. The MC5 never disappointed and they were all nice people.

And he turned that money into a multimillion-dollar video department at Dearborn high School. If you look into back porch video there's a considerable amount of stuff but I don't know if it's all the same Dearborn "back porch video" or not cuz it's all from the eighties and I don't recognize anyone.

Abby....great research. You Rock. The Grande opened Oct. 7, 1966. The 5 were doing this material for a number of years, before this record was released. The Grande, for us, was Mecca. Uncle Russ, former DJ, in Detroit, owned the club. The Grande was a ballroom built many decades before Russ owned it. Russ went to SF, n saw what Bill Graham was doing. He made a booking agreement w Bill. Bill always brought the top groups & astists to the Fillmore East n West. Since Russ's revenue was limited, the groups would play individually on Friday through Sunday at Grande. Many groups were reluctant to have The 5 open for them. The 5's idea was to blow these bands off the stage. And they did. This album was recorded over 2 nights & mixed together. The show always started w J. C. Crawford whipping the crowd up....a lot of political material....then introduce the band as a True Testimonial. The crowd would go crazy. It was a true testimonial of what was happening in Detroit. Please look for the DVD "The MC5 - A True Testimonial", which was made in 2002. Wayne Kramer blocked it's commercial release. I won't go there. It was shown in Detroit n select theaters. It captures the reality of the band & what was happening in Detroit. The 5 moved to Ann Arbor, when Plum St., in Detroit, became too "hot" for the band. Detroit Police were not real "friendly". See films of Detroit riot in 67. All the 5, except Michael Davis, were from Lincoln Park. Along w highly esteemed poster artist Gary Grimshaw. Lincoln Park & Downriver cities heard the metallic pounding of the steel mills, foundries, trains & places we had to work. Those sounds were a huge influence on The 5. Gary did most of the 5's flyers. Very few large size posters were done. Mostly postcard size, mail outs. I was on the list. Every Wednesday they would arrive. Most Fridays or Saturdays the pilgrimage was undertaken, from Ann Arbor, for me. Moved to go college in 67. The experience is undescribable. Notes bouncing off your chest & ears loudly ringing for 3 days. Only group, invited to Chicago Democratic Convention to play, that showed. Every other band was scared to show & copped out. SF bands were pussies n bailed. You're right, Black To Comm would have been my choice to close. What most people don't realize is that The 5 were into Avant Garde Jazz, Sun Ra & John Coltrane. That's reflected in choice of Starship as the closing track. And it did clear the crowd out. EBay is the best place to access their material & posters / postcards. I've said for over 55 years, they were the greatest group & this was the greatest album ever released. Totally influenced many groups. As The Velvets did. Heavy Metal & Punk were light years away. We had many bands, too many to mention, my age, that became huge. The 5, Seger, Psychedelic Stooges, Mitch Ryder, The Dukes, etc. Michigan is a peninsula, so we had our own scene, not one based on SF or England. We were interested in New York bands, The Velvets, The Fugs etc. Not West Coast guitar doodling or The "Beagles" & UK bubble gum bands. Pink Floyd, yes. I had the pleasure of seeing The Floyd, post Syd Barrett & w The Who, who became very boring smashing shit up. Other than The Fillmore's & The Avalon....this was the real deal. I could go on but this is already too long. Do not read Michael Davis, Wayne Kramer or Sinclair's books. Not a true recollection of the Band:s music. Abby you rock, n I'm thrilled you devoted a show on The 5. Footnote: if you get the pleasure to see The Bill Graham exhibit, that is traveling the US, you have to go. I live in St Pete n have had the pleasure of seeing it 3 times. Google it. Fantastic.

"looking at you" from the 66 breakout compilation rules (not to mention the original line in the song was "long blonde hair," that felt like a win for me haha.) i've been dying to see a true testimonial! there was no one else like the 5 and there will never be anyone else like them. how lucky you were to have been to their shows! thank you so much for all this!

Also check out Bob Seger & The Last Heard's recordings. Raw. East Side Story, Persecution Smith, Vagrant Winter & Heavy Music, etc. They recorded on Hideout & Cameo Parkway leased their material nationally. Cameo got busted by the IRS, as Heavy Music was climbing the charts. A bootleg LP was the only way you could get the material for many years, unless you owned the 45s. A few years ago, it was finally released on CD. Easily available. Tom Cruise, in underwear, brought Seger's later stuff into the limelight. Detroit sure wasn't "Hollywood Nights". Heavy Music was released on a later Seger LP, so people are aware of it. I know you're into Vinyl, but this is 1 CD you need to have.

You're not alone and I am a huge fan of this band and this album, which I also have in vinyl LP (Brazilian copy, single cover... And non-censored!). To me, "Kick Out The Jams" is a perfect time-capsule to know how fiery MC5 was, both politically and musically. They may not have a great deal of inventing the punk-rock sound (I'd rather credit that to Iggy and The Stooges' "Raw Power"), but they sure have a BIG influence on the brand of heavy-rock sound made by Motorhead. They can be proto-metal as much as proto-punk, but they were fantastically adventurous and experimental, for sure - and "Starship" is a brilliant demonstration of that. To me, it's still my favorite album by theirs. I always get mind-blown everytime I listen to this "perfect imperfect" album. Really enjoyed your video, how entertaining it is as much as it's insightful!

Hi Abigail, Pretty awesome channel! I sat partially stunned through this MC5 homage, you have so many constructive things to say with such an engaging presentation style too. I think you pretty much nailed ‘Kick Out The Jams’, any chance Alice Coopers ‘Killer’ might grace your channel at some point? If you ever come to the UK the Colchester Vinyl Collective would love to have you curate an album of your choice at one of our regular sessions. Okay, I’m off to check out your other programs…… byeeeee.

I love 60s/70s music and have heard of MC5 one time but this has definitely convinced me to get into their music more! I'm always looking to discover music. Also, I loved your vinyl collection video, I'm 23 and have been wanting a record player for almost a decade but could never afford one or have space in my room for it, but i'm getting one in a couple of months and I can't wait to build my collection with a lot of The Doors, The Beach Boys and so so much more!!

Kramer said MC5 trained like athletes to put on their high energy shows. They liked to blow unsuspecting British bands off the stage.

I just stumbled upon your video tonight, and I like the job that you did discussing the album. I lived in the Detroit area in 1968, but I was too young (9 years old) to have even been aware of the MC5 at the time, much less attend the shows at the Grande Ballroom. I did get to see a later version of the band as a teenager in 1975. Wayne Kramer was the only original member of that unit, but it was still billed as the MC5. I assume it was a way of making money to support his drug habit. (He was also burglarizing homes and selling drugs at the time, before going to prison the following year) Anyway, you mentioned the album cover, and I saw an interesting tidbit in Kramer's autobiography "The Hard Stuff: Dope, Crime, the MC5, and My Life of Impossibilities." Kramer didn't care for the album cover of Kick Out The Jams. He says: "Again, I was underwhelmed. The cover ended up looking like an amateur paste-up collage of unflattering images mushed together. It was flattened out with no depth of field, unlike the mock-ups I’d seen earlier. The faces of the kids in the audience all looked airbrushed, like they were department store mannequins. That was because they were airbrushed. Elektra’s legal affairs department feared that if they published photos of the kids without releases, they might be sued, so they had the art department alter them. To me, it looked awful. The cover photo of Tyner was terribly uncomplimentary. And, to add insult to injury, Elektra art director Bill Harvey put a shot of himself up in the corner." In the upper right corner of the album is a man in glasses and a light blue shirt. I assume that is the Mr. Harvey that Kramer references.

Great video. I was given a copy of Wayne Kramer's book The Hard Stuff as a birthday present at the weekend. You are so right about Rob Tyner, a total legend. IMO MC5: A True Testimonial (2002) is the best music documentary ever made, about the greatest rock band that ever lived.

Abigail - have you tried... ROYAL TRUX? And, yes, love MC5 - was into them at a time (like now) when people aren't that into them - late 80s early 90s. But then, thanks to grunge, they kinda exploded for a few years. So, hang in there, they could come back around!

I am about a year late to this party, but I am here. FYI. Todd Rundgren and Utopia's first album was completely recorded live. It is a total space rock psychedelic masterpiece. This is not a Hello Its Me, or I Saw the Light fair. This is top notch musicianship and crazy psych rock craziness. By the way my lovely, you are slowly restoring my love for music from my childhood ( I have been on a Japanese and European hard rock kick, still am as far as new music) keep up the wonderful informative work. Cheers.

Got into the album in 1990. And, yes, it was the censored version. I first, had a friend of my brother make a tape of the album for me. My brother's friend ended up ripping two albums by the 5 for me (Kick out the Jams and Back in the USA). Played the ever lovin' sh_t out of both Kick Out the Jams and Back in the USA durring most of the early 90s. When everybody at the time was getting into Sound Garden and Pearl Jam, etc, I was cranking up the volume on the 5! Their music seemed even more grunge and hard edged to me than than all the trendy flannel Seattle stuff at that time. Also, I already had come out of the 80s on a steady diet of Husker Du, Black Flag Replacements, hardcore, etc... Also, their 3rd album High Time is really great. As they used to say and still should, Free the Five!!!!!🎸💯
