Possibly one of the most unique and most uniquely rock&roll live performances in history, the scene at Napa 31 years ago and in a different world, shows the most committed and participating audience I've ever seen. Even if this was some sort of promo concert, meant to establish the Cramps radicalness, it become something more: a happenning, a statement or, even better, a party, where the line between performer and audience seems arbitrary.
There have been others afterwards but I doubt that they had as much fun...
A belated goodbye to Lux Interior, yet another to join the horde of My Youth's Dead Heroes this past February. It is not a coincidence that Lux's obituary in Rolling Stone magazine contains exactly the Napa video.
