One of the most controversial figures of rock & roll, GG Allin was known to break bottles over his head, start fights with audience members, defecate, and have sex onstage--mayhem which continued tenfold offstage. The performances collected here are from a 1992 tour of the south with his band, the Murder Junkies; it was to be Allin's last before dying of a drug overdose in 1993. The concerts had by this time reached an all-time peak of savagery, featuring the performer naked, toothless, sporting ragged homemade tattoos and his signature halo of blood, and flinging his own feces at the crowd--one audience member is even shown donning a raincoat as the band takes the stage. The tour was cut short in Texas, where GG was arrested and brought back to Michigan to finish a prison sentence, though not before an enraged crowd literally attacks him. The collection includes shows in Altanta, San Antonio, and Austin, as well as a previously-unreleased interview that provides insight into the life of this fascinating, nihilistic performer, whose confrontational attitude, while sometimes surprisingly articulate, was unrelenting in its solipsistic rage.
