Mutiny on the Bay [Live]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The first-ever authorized live album by the Dead Kennedys--following decades of bootlegs--is a DKs fan dream come true, as it contains absolutely scorching live versions of 14 of their best and most notorious songs. Whether live or in the studio, the DKs were always real players, easily some of the most accomplished musicians in American punk. Mutiny on the Bay captures their savvy, sophisticated chaos with juicy, startling clarity. Culled from four shows in their hometown of San Francisco in 1982 and 1986, Mutiny features most of their signature songs ("Holiday in Cambodia," "Police Truck," "California Über Alles," "MTV Get off the Air," etc.), all delivered with the deeply sarcastic, politically and socially confrontational élan that crowds loved and the powers-that-be loathed. The sound quality is bracing and brilliant, and captures the band in all its high-flying, punk rock/thrash/surf glory. A time bomb wired from the past, Mutiny on the Bay is easily one of the Dead Kennedys' most essential releases. --Carl Hanni --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

3 out of 5 stars Could have been better, could have been worse..........2007-02-15

Hey, to everyone who thinks the former DK members lawsuit against Jello was the wrong thing to do, what do you think Jello was doing with all the money he has made off all these albums over the years? He made several hundred thousand dollars and didn't give any of the other band members any money! It sounds like Jello was cashing in to me. Now, about them using the DK name and playing without Jello sounds totally ridiculous to me, the bottom line is Jello ripped them off bigtime. Come on, man. I am a drummer and if I played on an album that sold like DK's stuff, I would want my share. Why should Jello get to keep all that money? And as far as this album is concerned, it sounds okay for what it is. It could have been better, could have been worse. Enuff said...

4 out of 5 stars Track list=Good Performance quality=Not so good.......2007-01-05

I love the Dead kennedys. They are my favorite band. This live album is pretty good too. The performance is a little rough around the edges though. They probably have better live albums out there, but this one is fun to listen too once in a while. "Too Drunk To F**K" is probably the best. The first 7 tracks don't have good sound quality. It gradually sounds better towards the end. "Holiday in Cambodia" and "Police truck" sound pretty damn bad unfortunately.

3 out of 5 stars Honestly, they couldn't do any better?.......2006-02-11

I bought this album because I have never been lucky enough to get my hands on a bootleg. I wish I would have tried a lot harder to get one now. It's also difficult to resist the urge to buy a "new" DK album-especially when, like me, you were too young to get the opportunity in the 80's. The most notable songs are rather mediocre on this album, so my favorites on "Mutiny" would have to be "This Could Be Anywhere", "I Am the Owl" and "Riot." Jello always managed to keep the songs timeless with his live takes, and it's a shame the new singer can't at least do the so without the same level of creativity. It is obvious how this whole lawsuit/Manifesto/reunion thing came about when you look to the solo efforts of the other members too. I would especially recommend a good long look at Klaus' "The Light is Flickering",or Ray's "Sex is Sex" before anyone goes defending them. I saw Peligro at Social Chaos Tour in Lawrence,KS in 1999 and they were good live, but the albums didn't have the same resonance (plus all he talked about was being the drummer for DK, even wore a DK shirt-geez move on! Meanwhile he was suing his former frontman over money! Way to carry on the legacy!). This album, like any other DK release, is worth having-as long as you can sleep at night knowing who you're supporting. It's the same feeling you get drinking a Coke after you hear stuff about them assassinating union leaders in South America...diirrrty!

Full title:'Mutiny On The Bay-Dead Kennedys Live!From The San Francisco Bay Area'.Apparently,former vocalist Jello Biafra had lost a lengthy court battle to block the release of 'Mutiny...',the one of just two legit live Dead Kennedy archive performanes.This fourteen track CD was pulled from four(4)different live shows that took place in 1982 and 1986,which is 'strung' together as one.I LIKE that in a live release.Overall,just great body slammin' all American punk.Tunes that did it for me were "Holiday In Cambodia",the in-your-face "Moon Over Marin",the radical "MTV-Get Off The Air","Too Drunk To F**k" and "Hell Nation".Line-up:Biafra-vocals,East Bay Ray-guitar,Klaus Flouride-bass and D.H.Peligro-drums.A must-have for any and all true fans of 'angry/misguided' punk.Should appeal to fans Minor Threat,Black Flag,T.S.O.L.,Circle Jerks and The Germs.

1 out of 5 stars Absolute crap.......2005-05-05

Horrible. A cash-grab. A fecal-footprint on the amazing DK live-experience.
Seriously, the sound and performance that is on this CD is, to be polite, sub-par. The audio quality of the songs on "MUTINY ON THE BAY" is.... very lacking. Let's put it this way -- I have bootlegs that are far superior to this CD. In fact, even LESSER bootlegs (such as the "SKATEBOARD PARTY" release from 1985) fly far-above this tripe.
Then there are the shoddy performances, the lackluster guitar-work, the fact that all between-song banter has been pointlessly removed (and let's be honest, that was sometimes the high-point of a DK-show, hearing Jello's rants).

This CD is a true sham, a cash-grab by a bunch of cash-hungry charlatan has-beens.
Avoid.
