PLASMATICS Live! Rod Swenson's Lost Tapes 1978-81 DVD Set To Be Released This Month By Larry Petro, News Monkey Wednesday, May 3, 2017 @ 1:43 PM
During the early years PLASMATICS creator Rod Swenson, who directed and shot all the Wendy O./ PLASMATICS conceptual videos (also known for his footage of THE RAMONES, DEAD BOYS, BLONDIE, and MOTORHEAD among others) shot numerous PLASMATICS shows, the footage from which was never edited or released. Except for some short excerpts most of it until the discovery of this footage was thought to be lost or degraded (shot on tape which has been shown as with audio tape to degrade over time).
Recently during the moving of WOW/PLASMATICS archive material the footage here was found unlabeled in buried boxes. While much had degraded producer/director Randy Shooter was able to discover, relabel, and with additional editing and restoration, salvage the rare and remarkable footage in this DVD. A lot of it is raw (and much of the audio is the audio from ambient video deck mics, noise and all) but the energy and power is there straight through.
This item can be pre-ordered HERE.

A bonus track (“Monkey Suit”) features footage shot by Swenson when he was shooting the iconic album cover for New Hope For The Wretched, but never released.
