Circle Jerks Live at the House of Blues
(2004)
OK, it's unfair to compare any other band with the Stones or any other concert film to a Stones concert film, but I think maybe we can declare a general principle here: if you're good enough, and if you stay fit enough, and if your shtick is fun--rockfun, sexful, prancefun, poutfun--then maybe you can still do it in your sixties and not just look like posturing old farts. But if your shtick is anger--well, there's a reason why "angry old man" was never a familiar phrase. Then again, I guess until The Decline of Western Civilization finally comes out on DVD, your options for seeing these guys are this and a lounge-lizard version of "When the Shit Hits the Fan" in Repo Man.
