It's from a local San Diego, CA (near their hometown of Chula Vista) TV show, from 1977, the year of our Lord. Not their Lord, our Lord, whoever that might be. I'd nominate Lou Reed or Little Richard, but then I hate religion.

Fun listen featuring Mark Parenteau and WABX FM djs in Detroit playing a stolen tape of The Stooges 'Raw Power' recording sessions.

The Heartbreakers “What Goes Around...” 1975/1991. Bomp! Records. Today, May 7th, would have been Heartbreakers/New York Dolls drummer Jerry Nolan’s 75th birthday (b. Gerard Nolan, 1946, d. 1992). What Goes Around... is live album, recorded at CBGB’s on July 7th, 1975 and at Mother’s on November 16th, 1975. The CBGB’s gig was one of their first; after forming out of the dissolution of the New York Dolls, Nolan along with Doll Johnny Thunders and Television’s Richard Hell, they played a gig in May and then added Walter Lure (from the Demons) and hit the stage at CBGB’s for this July show. Some of the songs performed there that are on this LP are “Can’t Keep My Eyes on You,” “Stepping Stone” and the punk anthem “Blank Generation” (written by Richard Hell originally for Television, it was performed live by them and the Heartbreakers and then appeared on the Voidoid’s album Blank Generation in ‘77). Included from the Mothers show are “So Alone,” “Pirate Love” (which is on The Heartbreakers only studio album L.A.M.F., 1977) and the other great punk anthem “Love Comes in Spurts” (also by Hell and on Blank Generation).
