One of the then more controversial performances on Kirshner, the New York Dolls performance didn't go over well with the California audience. The crowd noise is dubbed from a Rufus and Chaka Kahn performance that same evening that was a lot better received. The Dolls were promoting their second Mercury album Too Much Too Soon but included tracks from both LP's. Mercury would drop the band from their roster shortly afterwards.
Formed in 1971, the Dolls got there big break when Rod Stewart invited them to open for his London show. Sadly, original drummer Billy Murcia died of accidental drowning shortly after the gig, when he passed out from a combination of drugs and alcohol. After auditioning Marc Bell (later Markey Ramone), they chose Jerry Nolan and the line up that would influence/kick start the New York Punk Rock scene was complete. 2 albums later and the Dolls would fray and unravel under a haze of drug addiction and disillusion.
David Johanson would go on to a respected solo career, and to perform as Buster Poindexter (earning him his biggest hit with "Hot, Hot, Hot"). Arthur "Killer" Kane would struggle with addiction to emerge a clean and sober member of the Mormon Church. He passed away from leukemia at the age of 55 on July 13, 2004. Johnny Thunders would go on to form The Heartbreakers with Jerry Nolan earning punk legend status before dying from an overdose of heroin and methadone at 38 in New Orleans on April 23 1991. Jerry Nolan would pass at the age of 45, on January 14, 1992 from a stroke brought on by bacterial meningitis.
David Johanson and Sylvain Sylvain continue to tour as the New York Dolls to this day.

Just got into the Dolls after watching the HBO show "Vinyl." Of course you have a show to download! Thank you, as always!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, a very good friend of mine got me into the Dolls when I was a lot younger than today (lol). Hope you enjoy it my friend!
