Birthday Party - Pleasure Heads Must Burn

Rating:
Summary: Very Cool!
Review: I'm really excited that I actually own this DVD! Some of this footage is priceless. The DVD contains concert footage as well as T.V. and music video footage, and is a wonderful collection of images whether a Birthday Party fan or not. This is a video document worthy of placement in a time capsule. It just proves how boring, static, uninspiring, and "safe" today's music is! If you think today's "punk" or hip-hop is challenging or pioneering you desperately need this in order to get some perspective!

Summary: Splendid!
Review: The new material is worth the price of the disc! The TV appearances and promos: "Fears of Gun", "Hamlet (Pow, Pow, Pow)" and "junkyard" are the crispest quality video of the Birthday Party I've ever seen. And the version of "Deep in the Woods" is incredible. Definitely give you nightmares! I've owned the Pleasure Heads VHS since 85, and was always frustrated by the video quality (It's 20 year old video, afterall). Maybe it's wishful tinking, but even the Hacienda material seems sharper.
