Joan Jett : New York : Urgh! : A Music War Video. DivX. 29 meg. Tried to edit it tighter, but no go. The bit in the beginning is Gary Numan, the ghost at the end is Howard Devoto & Magazine.
Oh, and in case you were wondering - the Wiki entry on Urgh!
If there's any band that you'd really really like to see, I could post a vid clip. (But I'll only do a few as it takes a while.)
First time I saw it was on a terrible VHS tape that cut out 1/3 of the way into Splodgenessabounds, taped off of a bad cable signal, in 1984. We watched the hell out of it, as it was fantastic. It still is, and is a great document of some truely amazing bands. Took me forever to find and download - the full file is 1.4 gig!
I saw the film version in London last June (it was nearly cancelled because the AC had broken down), but apparently more footage was added for the video.
