Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder - Punk and New Wave (2-DVD)

by Various Artists

The predecessor to David Letterman's LATE SHOW, Tom Snyder's TOMORROW SHOW was a freewheeling late-night talk program that, in the late 1970s and early '80s, frequently hosted punk and new-wave bands. This collection of appearances by punk legends like the Plasmatics, Iggy Pop, the Ramones, Elvis Costello, and John Lydon was great TV when it was first broadcast, and still makes for riveting viewing. There's also a predictably prickly confrontation between Snyder and Lydon, as well as a somewhat more revealing musical discussion between Paul Weller, Joan Jett, and promoter Bill Graham.
