It puts the life back in live albums, , vividly encapsulating a decade of change into three hours and 35 minutes of rock 'n' roll that gives no quarter but makes demands that few other musicians today will risk. Springsteen wants your heart to hear. And he wants you to bring your conscience...
...Paris, an American abroad named Patrick Kelly showed a rambunctious line that had the dash and Technicolor splendor of a Minnelli musical. Rifat Ozbek, whose clothes have an easy, funky swank and a kind of surreptitious sophistication, neatly encapsulated London's trend toward revisionist sartorial conservatism, where rock style has been replaced by bemused manor- house dressing.

They defined the attitude of punk music; Sid and Nancy were just the creatures that lived and died under that rock. And since they begin in life's gutter, their fall into the sewer is a boring given. Alex Cox's movie (from a script he wrote with Abbe Wool) is a 111-minute moral limbo dance: How low can you go? Underground, if you want, but don't expect anyone to follow...
