It's nice to have a record of diverse aspects of the punk scene but, sadly, a fair amount of this one gets really boring, and (for me) the music rarely sparks the kind of excitement that I'm sure was generated at the time among the community.
Clearly, if one was there at the time and this film sparks happy memories then it must be great to have all of this captured regardless of "quality". However, for the rest of us, I suspect a harsher edit would help.
I don't want to be too critical as hopefully at least some of these people went on to create other things of value - but I suspect that the main audience for this will be those who were there at the time.
