Terminal Boredom: Imperial Dogs DVD Is 'A Great Set' Of 'Gonzo Stoogoid Tracks'!

"A great set, especially considering the year, showing off a band that coulda been a contender" ... "'This Ain't the Summer of Love' (later appropriated by BOC) is an under-appreciated proto-classic, and gonzo Stoogoid tracks like 'Amphetamine Superman' and 'Midnite Dog' aren't far behind. They whip through a baker's dozen to blank stares and open mouths, and the absence of crowd reaction provides humorous context" ... "Great costumes (fur pants, no shirts, chains, great hair, swazis) enhance vocalist Don Waller's crowd-baiting performance," says veteran rock aficionado/journo Rich K, writing about the Imperial Dogs' Live! In Long Beach (October 30, 1974) DVD here (scroll about half-way down the page) at the electronic version of his long-running Terminal Boredom 'zine.
