1991 The Year Punk Broke DVD
 

http://www.wegotpowerfilms.com/

We are very happy to announce that the long awaited DVD will be released in the fall of 2011 to celebrate the 20 year anniversary of this historic tour, featuring

• 42 minute Bonus Movie entitled "(This Is Known As) The Blues Scale" with previously unseen mind-blowing Sonic & Nirvana performances (including "Inhuman", "White Kross", "Orange Rolls/Angel's Spit", "Eric's Trip", "Chapel Hill", and "In Bloom") and plenty of revelatory and rockin' (and hilarious) never before seen off-stage and on-stage material

• Running audio commentary track by Thurston Moore & Dave Markey

• Rough Edits of performance material

• 2003 Panel Discussion (on the film) at the Arclight in Hollywood, with Thurston Moore, Dave Markey, Lee Ranaldo, Steve Shelley, and J. Mascis

• A photo slide show

• Theatrical trailer

• More surprises!

"1991 is a celebration. Its joiie de vivre is infectious. Even the hints of tragedy- a glipse of the late roadie Joe Cole, a too-high Cobain- merely make the claim in the film's title more crucial."
- Village Voice

"Director Dave Markey strives for a kind of cinema verite-meets-homemade-fanzine appeal and succeeds almost too well." - Entertainment Weekly

A 42 minute feature post-script to "1991 The Year Punk Broke" featuring never before seen performance and off-stage material from Sonic Youth and Nirvana

amazing, i am glad this has finally been settled and coming to disc, Blues Scale is hilarious, it is must watch

Oh. I'm not that huge a fan of TYPB. I'll get it, but I was hoping that the exciting dvd release would be something completely new.

^ Yeah. Wild.

Finally a chance to see "(This Is Known As) The Blues Scale" in the best possible quality. Very excited about the other extras as well.

Awesome!

f-ing excellent!

Definite must-have there

finally my rock and roll bible is going to be on DVD. shucks... i feel all warm inside.

YES

I forget who the kind soul was on here who sent me a DVD R of this 5 or 6 years ago when it was unavailable for purchase, but whoever that was, i thank you again.

I shall definitely get this, i havent purchased any new SY music in a while.

excellent. my video player is playing up and i was concidering buying a new one just for YPB

at last!

finally yes!!!

Just ...blew...a...load

Fucking awesome. Got the Youths tweet bout it in line on record. Store. Day line. TYPB is my fucking Woodstock goddamnit. I have it on vhs like a mug but no vhs plauer currently

godamn finally! i'm pretty fucking psyched!

So good - don't own it, borrowed a friend's copy years ago and have only ever seen it the one time... this is great news!

ha ha
20 years later...
must have indeed
what will i do with my old VHS?
Frame it?
burn it?

What about blu-ray. Or is that what the next 20 year wait will be for?

fuckin happy out this is getting a release on DVD

About damn time...

This is great news

its about time!

static-harmony is about to post here.

I can't wait for this to come out.

I think i'm fine with my VHS...but I will probably end up buying the dvd anyway! Great movie :)

My older cousin raves about this all the time, he's got it on VHS. I can't wait to to see this finally and on DVD!

I've had a copy on VHS since i was in high school, i haven't been able to watch it in many years, though (I no longer have a VCR). I also have a DVD transferred from a japanese laser-disc that looks great, and a DVD of "(This Is Known As) The Blues Scale" sourced from an audience recording, and still these news didn't fail to excite me. Seems like it's gonna be the most awesome DVD, with all those extras and shit.

look at us all getting hard-ons!

Oh, didn't know about extras :) Sweet!

Well I have a VHS player. I often watch and buy VHS stuff cause I simply love the VHS format.
Actually gonna release a VHS tape with some noise of mine ;)

How I wish they can add Tunic to the Bonus Footage.

How did you do that wizard.......

fucking so excited for this, I'll probably sleep with it near me for the first few months

so i just saw on the home page that they are showing TYPB at Cinefamily in LA, Dave Markey will be there for Q & A, on July 23rd. i would go, only problem is i got tickets to see Earth that very night across town! LA area boardies who don't love Earth (i don't understand how that could be possible) should go and ask too many questions, talk during the movie, spill soda on the floor, etc...
