N June 1978, The Cramps played a free concert for patients at the California State Mental Hospital in Napa, California. The Cramps were at the peak of their engaging sound. They had just finished recording "Gravest Hits." Midway through the second song, a young woman commands the stage and begins sharing the mic with Lux. By the time the "Human Fly" is played a real ho-down is occurring on and off stage with the audience members dancing about, grabbing at the mic and embracing each other - all of which adds to the spectacle of this once-in-a-lifetime performance! Songs include: "Mystery Plane," "The Way I Walk," "Human Fly," "Domino," "Garbage Man," and more.
Reviews:
Recorded in 1978, the Cramps are at their peak of their career, as they perform eight songs for the residents of Napa State. At times the audience resembles the cast of Night Of The Living Dead, but several members re-animate quickly and take to the stage with wild abandon. Very lo-fi audio/video, but a most memorable show.
