THE TOMORROW SHOW with Tom Snyder
New Two-DVD Set Includes "The Tomorrow Show" Episodes
With Guests Elvis Costello, John Lydon, Iggy Pop, The Jam, Patti
Smith, The Ramones, Joan Jett, The Plasmatics
LOS ANGELES, CA - Shout! Factory announces the DVD debut of The
Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder: Punk & New Wave, a two-disc
collection of episodes from the ground-breaking late-night television
show. This double-DVD set includes hours of fascinating interviews
and historical performances with some of the key musicians of
the punk and new wave era of the late '70s and early '80s. Punk
& New Wave includes the 1977 round-table discussion about
the emergence of punk rock in the U.S. and rare televised multiple-song
sets from the Ramones, the Plasmatics, Iggy Pop, The Jam and Elvis
Costello & The Attractions. In addition, the DVD set would
not be complete without the infamous on-air outburst from punk's
bad boy, John "Johnny Rotten" Lydon.
"The Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder" began in October
1973 in the late-night time slot following Johnny Carson's "Tonight
Show" and continued in one form or another until January
1982. As punk and new wave music emerged, "The Tomorrow Show"
welcomed many of the genres' earliest figures for interviews as
well as live performances. In 1977, Snyder hosted a roundtable
forum with musicians Joan Jett, Paul Weller, scene-ster Kim Fowley,
concert promoter Bill Graham, and music journalist Robert Hilburn.
Snyder went on to interview punk rock poet Patti Smith and outspoken
Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon, the latter of which evolved into
a now-legendary shouting match between the guest and host. In
1981, "The Tomorrow Show" began airing with live musical
performances, including standouts "Watch Your Step"
by Elvis Costello & The Attractions, "I Wanna Be Sedated"
by the Ramones, "Funeral Pyre" by The Jam, and more.
