Morrissey to Release New York Dolls CD and DVD
by Chi Tung | 00.00.0000

The much-awaited performance by the New York Dolls at the 2004 Meltdown Festival in London will be captured in all its glory with both a CD and DVD, titled Morrissey Presents the Return of the New York Dolls: Live from Royal Festival Hall 2004. The equally iconoclastic Morrissey took great pains to arrange the festival lineup around the punk architects and the performance itself did not disappoint. Feature tunes included “Looking for a Kiss,” “Jet Boy,” and “Trash.” The show was also the final appearance for bassist Arthur "Killer" Kane, who passed away shortly thereafter due to cancer. The CD covers all the tracks highlighted in the set, while the DVD includes all kinds of bonus footage, including band interviews and rehearsals.
