The live footage and videos were all directed by the AV Squad's Bucky Fukumoto (of The Directors Bureau) .

GG Allin & The Murder Junkies - Savage South: Best Of The 1992 Tour
This NYC punk lunatic made his name with notoriously wild live performances that featured the gratuitous use of bodily fluids and feces. Awesome. This DVD collects performances from Allin's 1992 jaunt through the southern states. PS: I highly recommend the documentary Hated: GG Allin & The Murder Junkies, which summarizes the high and low lights of Allin's career. The disc also includes Allin's performance at an East Village club the night he died. The gig lasts approximately 10 minutes and ends in a total riot. The camera then follows Allin and his friends as they troll the Lower East Side for drugs. Later that night he OD'ed and died. The movie was directed by Todd Phillips, who went on to direct Old School, Road Trip and Starsky & Hutch.

Sting - Bring on The Night
This 1985 film finally arrives on DVD. Bring On The Night chronicles Sting's solo debut with a newly assembled jazz band.

The Man In Black runs through 19 of his classics in this performance taped at the 1994 Montreaux Jazz Festival.
