In the early '70s, rock photographer Bob Gruen and his wife Nadya purchased a portable video recorder. In a period of three years, they shot over 40 hours of New York Dolls footage. Now, for the first time ever, this footage is unveiled. This feature length documentary captures the band during early performances in New York at Kenny's Castaways and Max's Kansas City, then follows the Dolls on their tour of the West Coast, including footage from the Whisky A Go Go, the Real Don Steele Show, Rodney Bingenheimer's E Club and much more. Intercut with revealing interviews, backstage banter and late night debauchery, this is the definitive document of the New York Dolls.

Special features include commentary by David Johansen, Sylvain Sylvain and Bob Gruen; an extensive photo gallery; an interview with Bob Gruen; and a deluxe 16-page booklet. 120 minutes.

Includes performances of the songs: Babylon • Bad Detective • Chatterbox • Down Down Downtown • Frankenstein • Great Big Kiss • Human Being • I'm a Hoochie Koochie Man • Jet Boy • Lookin' for a Kiss • Personality Crisis • Pills • Pirate Love • Private World • Subway Train • Teenage News • Trash • Vietnamese Baby • Who Are the Mystery Girls.
