As is mentioned earlier, yes it's on DVD.

It's a lot more in-depth than the Troggs Tapes. If you want a laugh at the expense of overblown metalheads, then it is worth seeing.

i don't know about year of the horse, but i know that neil young made a movie... some kind of art film. you should try and track that down.


Yeah, I love Neil Young, but he tends to be more of a train wreck than even Metallica. He's made a several "movies", haven't seen "Year of the Horse", but "Journey Through the Past" and "Human Highway" are the two earlier art films. "Human Highway is especially worthwhile, starring Devo, Dennis Hopper, Dean Stockwell, and Sally Kirkland, with Himself playing loveable doofus Lionel Switch. Total acid casualty of a movie. Good footage of Devo covering the classic Kingston Trio tune, "It Takes a Worried Man"- "Everything's fucked up/ It's all coming down/ That's why it takes a worried man/ To sing a worried song."
If it wasn't for landlords, there would have been no Karl Marx.

Although this video is primarily concert footage, nearly a quarter of it is dedicated to documenting the making of 1995's Red Medicine at Inner Ear Studios in Washington DC. This film is not entertaining or amusing according to your criteria, but as an indepth look into the workings of Fugazi, this film hits the mark. I highly recommend this release to any fan of Fugazi.


It's a great film, I've watched it more than any other DVD I own, and I can only view it in black and white my player isn't too happy with Region 0 discs.
