The world's most improbable and outrageous mass of rock documentaries, all 11 films in one low-priced edition! Chainsaws that roar! Blowing up mountains! We're in the desert! Full moon! This is the prototype for Coachella, Lollapalooza, Burning Man and other huge festivals! From 1983 to 1985, the Desolation Center was a live event held in the deserts of California, USA. This is the prototype of the Coachella Festival, Lollapalooza, Burning Man, and other huge festivals that attract many people today. It originated in Southern California, where the storm of American punk/hardcore was raging. The Desolation Center" will provide a rare glimpse into the background of the birth of this unusual and little-known event, along with rare footage of the people involved, including Coachella founder Gary Tovar, Lollapalooza organizer Perry Farrell (Jane's Addiction), and Burning Man co-founder John Law, as well as a look at the history of the event itself. This documentary film depicts the experimental spirit and rebellious spirit of the early 80's in Los Angeles. Los Angeles was a time of experimentation and rebellion. The live scene was small, everyone knew each other, and eccentric and creative artists were performing nightly, but hardcore acts such as BLACK FLAG and MINUTEMEN were heavily policed by the police, and LAPD Chief Daryl Gates relentlessly sent riot police to eliminate punk and hardcore acts. (Thus, Daryl Gates was called "a really rotten guy" by many young people. In the midst of such severe crackdowns, it was becoming increasingly difficult to secure venues for live shows, and the Desolation Center was organized by Stewart Sweezy, the organizer, to allow people to see their favorite shows without anyone interfering. The principles of the Desolation Center are as follows: ( performers are chosen based on merit, not audience turnout ) ( not for profit ) ( no invited guests ) ( paid for only band members and volunteers ) ( no reliance on media coverage ) ( no advertising ) ( no boisterous people ) ( no alcohol sold to the crowd at exorbitant prices ) ( no dancing required, no new wave disco ). ) Four events were held, three in the middle of the desert in the middle of nowhere, and one on a boat. The performers were SAVAGE REPUBLIC, MINUTEMEN, SONIC YOUTH, REDD KROSS, EINSTURZENDE NEUBAUTEN, SWANS, MEAT PUPPETS, SURVIVAL RESEARCH LABORATORIES, and many more, This is a spectacular mix of punk, rock, noise, and art. This film recounts such an extraordinary live event with interviews with many of the people involved and rare live footage left behind. In particular, the noise-filled live performances of Sonic Youth and Einsturzende Neubauten, and the anomalous behavior of Survival Research Laboratories, which could be described as either art or environmental destruction, are a picture of hell. Directed by Stewart Sweezy, the event's founder, and featuring a cast of over 60 people who were there at the time. In this film, people will be astonished at the fact that this event, which has never been introduced in Japan, took place, and they will feel how this small but strange and bizarre show has influenced the contemporary music scene.
