Plasmatics - Dr. Pepper Festival (Sept. 12, 1981)

In the fall of 1981 the Plasmatics were booked to headline the outdoor Dr. Pepper Festival in NYC. The show where they blew up a car was the grand finale to the festival’s summer long run and explosive it was. The explosion of the car was huge and stage equipment ignited during the explosion can be seen continuing to burn as gas-masked roadies run to put the fires out. The next show following this, promoted by Jack Hoffman, brother of 60s radical Abbie Hoffman was subsequently banned.
