The Greedies - A Merry Jingle - Top Of The Pops - Thursday 20 December 1979

R.I.P. to one of the absolute wildest, who made so many great records, live shows, and insane stories. The DMZ reunion I saw in 2008 at Maxwells in Hoboken, NJ, remains one of the Top 10 shows I ever saw. I cannot fucking imagine what they must've been like when they were in their early 20s. Track down any DMZ or Lyres recs you can.
