"Combining rock "n" roll"s traditional fetish for pure, unmediated feeling, with a more modern sort of artistic calculation, Burma"s music could evoke everything from the Beatles" ecstatic run of Hamburg rock clubs in the early 60s to the lightning-speed hardcore punk that was developing in the US during Burma"s tenure. In this sense, Burma can be said to have blithely encapsulated punk"s overarching mission: to draw a line connecting rock rebels past and present, and, in doing so, re-imagine and re-establish the music"s anarchic condition" - Salon.com. DVD Features: Live at the Bradford Ballroom, Boston, March 12, 1983 (evening show)
