Kick Out the Jams

Here we have MC5, being one of THEE blueprint punk rock bands, was also responsible for the classics "Ramblin' Rose" and the much covered "Looking At You." But it's "Kick Out the Jams" that IS "The Motor City Five". Oh Detroit. Chock full o' rock. Note; Also they were heavily influenced by Albert Ayler, Archie Shepp, Sun Ra and late period John Coltrane. Opening for mega-groups like Cream and Big Brother And The Holding Company they would constantly upstage 'em with endless encores demanded by the rabid frenzy they'd create. In their early career, the MC5 had a politically provocative stage show. They would appear on stage toting unloaded rifles, and at the climax of the performance, an unseen "sniper" would shoot down the singer Rob Tyner.(con Afro) Much, much more.......
