Disadvantages: Milton Berle

...INTRODUCTION This weekend sees the 45th anniversary since the sudden death of Marilyn Monroe. While it is a time when fans feel particularly sad about her early passing, it is also a good opportunity to remember her life and to celebrate all she achieved. So, yesterday, I watched two of her films on DVD – Lades of the Chorus (1949) for the first time ever and Let’s Make Love (1960) for the second time. Both are great upbeat movies which reminded me of some of the pleasure Marilyn brought to the entertainment world.

...footage was shot at Squeeze in Ft Lauderdale, USA. The official line up during this time was; Marilyn Manson: Vocals Daisy Berkowitz: Guitar Madonna wayne Gacy (A.K.A Pogo): Keyboard Gidget Gein: Bass The footage is as good quality as you would expect from an early gig and the not quite crystal clear quality gives it more of an atmosphere. The sound quality is also good. Marilyn Manson has always put on a good show and this is yet another example. The showmanship is visible even when the gig starts and he is sitting down. It's an entertaining DVD that i enjoyed throughout. Tracklisting 1. Strange same dogma 2. Misery machine 3. White trash 4. Dope hat 5. Lunchbox 6. Thrift 7. Cyclops 8.
