I caught their show in Buffalo a few months ago and the were awesome. First time that I saw them was when they opened for Mott the Hoople, and an unknown band called Areosmith open for them in ‘73. Damn… was that the best show or what!

Some things are just MEANT to be…NYD is one of them. Whatever the circumstance, whoever it happened, they are and always will be iconically &
musically blessed.

Caught the 2007 Dolls in Long Island this weekend. They were loud, funny, wonderful, energetic, a little sloppy but mostly they were fucking great. I mostly try to ignore the comeback bands with fewer than 3 original members (not easy to do these days) but I’m really glad I made the exception this time. The new songs rock hard without being irrelevant and the old shit sounded as fresh as the Mercer Arts Center days. Rock on, Dolls!

Saw the Dolls in Long Island on Saturday. They were loud, funny, energetic, a little sloppy, in a word, they rocked. New songs are great and they played all the old shit I could have ever expected. May they live forever in the hearts and minds of music fans everywhere.

Glad to find Crawdaddy again – it’s hard to keep a good forum down. The question of whether the Dolls have 30 yrs. of pain to spare feels ‘off’; they might not need that much of emotional backlog to launch another single or record into the ears. Mission of Burma is perhaps a cool example of this phenom. They toured after reuiniting out of the blue, recorded OnOffOn (not stellar, but not embarrassing by a long shot), and then recorded the obliterati – a hulking whallop of songs. The other thing the artivle brings to my mind are the expectations of the audience — expecting an encore. Fer me, I miss the day when the final song of the set really felt like “THIS IS IT, I CAN’T TAKE NO MORE.” Then you got hit with the act playing a few more songs and WHAMMO! the ball they knocked out of the park is knocked out of the state – a good surprise.

My mom shared a house with Arthur in the 70’s. He was a really sweet guy
