[bomp] Let The Good Times Roll? (CBS-FM saved my life)

["Immortal Porpoises" <immortalporpoises@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The other day I unburdened my soul following the sudden death of the NY
institution WCBS-FM. For anyone who was keeping score, and there were a
couple of you, the next major step in my rock & roll early childhood
education after discovering the oldies station was a chaperoned trip to see
Let The Good Times Roll, an experience many of us also seemed to have
shared.

So here's the update, 33 years down the road. Cousin Brucie is getting his
own Sirius show, I can still hear all my fave AM jocks on those internet air
check sites, and the dumpy motel in the story, which isn't dumpy any more,
not only still exists, but is very near my current home in New Paltz and I
was just there in April on the occasion of my local volunteer fire deparment
(to which I belong) annual installation dinner.

But there is always a but. So here it is.

BUT -- Is it possible that Let The Good Times Roll has never been released
on video or DVD? I just got off my library system's website, through which I
order tons of movies, and they don't have it. Neither does Blockbuster or my
local "hip" video store. I just checked IMDB and they don't have any info on
a video or DVD. I'm sure this movie has been on television, and of the
hundreds of concerts available on video it's kind of hard to imagine that
one this groundbreaking and successful (the movie established the
marketplace for the several decades' worth of Original Rock & Roll Revivals)
is still moldering in some vault.

Does anybody know how to get this film?

Steve
