Here's a funny story from the bassist Sami Yaffa's autobiography: At the end of the video you can see Sami give a present to Conan - it was actually a T-shirt that said PERSEREIKÄ ("Asshole" in Finnish). Apparently Conan wore that shirt for some time afterwards without knowing what the word meant, until a coworker told him what the text meant, after which he just laughed and called it "the best fucking gift he's ever got".

SSLitQ That’s a wonderful story!

This performance on Conan was the first time i ever heard the New York Dolls. I was 14, It made me a fan for life.

Raw unfiltered rock n roll right there. I also recommend the Killer Kane documentary. Really good. 🔥🤘🏽New York Dolls

Thank god they are still carrying on the Name and Legend of one of Music Greatest Bands!!!

man this is great comeback... lots of history on this band

Love it!

I love the Dolls, but I really miss Johnny. Sylvain Sylvain is awesome. He's a ROCKER! I found In Too Much Too Soon in a bargain bin in Tucson, Arizona, back in about 75 or 76. I put it in my 8 Track and I have been listening to them ever since. A bit of magic gone too soon.

Long live Davey Jo

I love sami yaffa and steve conte! T.Markus Karinen. ....mekke79!!!)

That was a terrific lineup and album. Hope to see them go out again sometime.

sweet!

They’re so musically proficient in this performance that it sort of makes it strange to watch. Having said that, these guys were pioneers and good to see that they were able to mount a comeback and make some money from their brand. Especially Sylvain who had so it so rough, for so long.

I've seen some cheap wigs but this beats it.....Although you have to give Dave credit to stay as thin as his hero Jagger....

Great front man. Like a cross between Mick Jagger & Steve Tyler.

Steven tyler learnt from him

Sure I miss Thunders,Nolan and Kane.But Steve Conte is absolutely the right choice..He's a great musicien.So what?Nobody could be Johnny Thunders.Once you admit it,this band is good,and I luv this line-up. RIP Johnny,Sylvain,Jerry,Arthur. After all is said and all is done,TX for the music.

Conan has a strange bond with Finland as you can see in this video. It's ok though as long as it keeps him and the Finns happy.

Forget about being macho. The androgynous rockers like David Bowie, Mick Jagger and this guy are the ones that get rich. They even get the hottest women if they want them. But they also get a lot of grief from macho types.

If ya knew the history you might understand the significance of the hat.. But still,,,,the energy of the "real" NYDs is not here by any stretch.

Johansen Sylvain and a bunch of guy who aren't johnny thunders and jerry nolan.
