Performances featured in D.O.A. film

Several 1979 performances were featured in the 1980 film, D.O.A. . A few months after the breakup, the band had to reunite to record a live album and thus fulfill their contractual obligations. To exact revenge on the label, Bators purposely sang off-mic and the resulting recording was unusable. When the material eventually surfaced on Bomp! Records , Bators had re-recorded the vocals in a studio. They booked a 1979 – 80 tour but Magnum, then Chrome, Blitz and finally Zero left, leaving Bators as the only original member. He recorded his first solo album with the final (until later reunions) Dead Boys lineup.
