Irish rockers who fused the snot-nosed attitude of punk with the epic-scale guitar sound of heartland rock, the Boomtown Rats were storming the British charts with their second album ^A Tonic for the Troops when they played a pair of sold-out shows at London's ~Hammersmith Odeon theater, one of which was captured on videotape for posterity. The Boomtown Rats: Live at Hammersmith Odeon 1978 captures Bob Gelfof and his bandmates in sharp and enthusiastic form as they power through a set of early classics. Selections include &"She's So Modern," &"Rat Trap," &"Joey's on the Street Again," &"Like Clockwork," &"Looking After Number One," and more. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
