Classic DVD Review: Supersuckers | From the Audio/Video Dept.: Live in Anaheim

The roots-rawkers' performance is first class. The public-TV effects, not so much.

This came out in 2004 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


Supersuckers are classic no-frills rawkers. And I have never seen or heard them play a show that was less than kick-ass.

So why they let somebody mess up this perfectly good live DVD by adding cheesy public-TV effects is beyond us. Even so, the boys still rock, the footage covers their best punk and country tracks, there’s a bonus live CD and — best of all — singer-bassist Eddie Spaghetti and the rest of the ’Suckers crank out a truly smokin’ version of OutKast’s Hey Ya! as a hidden track.
