The Cramps at Napa State Mental Hospital
It's only one song, but you get the point.
wtf is the story behind this?
The Cramps did a full set (in about 1983) for the inmates of the Napa State
Mental Health Facility. The set was taped with a hand-held for vid. Not sure
how the sound was recorded, but I've heard a few crisp recordings maybe
20 years ago. The video is a classic. In a few instances I'm seriously concerned
for Lux. Lux is doing his whole Jerry Lee thing and he gets the crowd stirred
into a frenzy. A few times Lux has to fight for the mic because a 300 lb woman
keeps stealing it and screaming into it. I could go on and on..
I believe the surge in 'Jam-Art' was what The Cramps were responding to,
essentially proving that they are pranksters also.
And to top it off, this set is during their prime, and it's tight as fuck.
