Gizmos - Live in Bloomington 1977-1979 2xCD (Gulcher)A two disc set relegating one disc to each major Gizmos incarnation, with Ted Niemiec being the only stalwart. Where and when in the hell could bands like this play their public library? A special time and place it was. Funnily, a pre-megastardombound Johnny Cougar plays into all of this, emceeing the show and even providing vocals on a song. Garage trash thuggery and dollops of self-deprecating humor abound by as many misfits as they could cram on stage. I've long endeared myself to the Gizmos cause but if you want an unbiased opinion, please go out and buy this.
