So, 'Flipper: Live - Target Video 1980-1981' is kind of a relic, right? This film captures the raw energy of the punk scene in San Francisco, showcasing Flipper's chaotic performances. The Berkeley Square show, where they're the headliners, has this gritty, almost confrontational vibe, while the Kezar Stadium gig is fascinating because they open for Throbbing Gristle—an interesting juxtaposition of styles. The pacing feels real, not overly polished, and the atmosphere is thick with a sense of rebellion. It's a piece that reflects the underground ethos of the time, and the performances are anything but choreographed. If you’re into that era, this is a glimpse into the heart of punk rock.
This title has a niche appeal, primarily sought after by collectors of underground punk and live music footage. Its limited release and the obscurity of the director contribute to its scarcity. Many enthusiasts value it not just for the performances but also for the cultural moment it encapsulates, making it a unique piece of music history.
