THE NEW YORK DOLLS wiv MICK RONSON - Live @ Max's Kansas City 4/7/76



I say New York Dolls, but in reality they were The Dollettes. Only Sylvain and David remained from the original Dolls, although Bassist Peter Jordan had been Arthur 'Killer' Kanes stunt double, hiding behind the amps and playing bass while Arthur stood on stage incapacitated.
Never mind flogging a dead horse, The Dolls were fucking it’s corpse by the time of this show. The guest appearance by Mick Ronson shows that a Spider From Mars is no substitute for Johnny Thunders.
Sorry it’s only one long MP3 and that the sound’s not to hot, but that’s the way I got it. For completists only, even though it’s not the complete set, just the numbers they did with Mick which include Teenage News, Pills, and Personality Crisis. Anyway if you fancy a blast of this Rock’n’Roll Curio you know where to click don’t ya.

  1. Can't seem to download this one, but I'm surprised this wouldn't be better given that Ronson plays guitar on a few of my favorite albums of all time. That's no knock on New York Johnny...
