New Race . "The First and Last" is a collection of recordings from the various shows the band played along the East Coast ofAustralia in 1981. New Race contained members of the bandRadio Birdman :Deniz Tek ,Rob Younger , andWarwick Gilbert , along with guitarist fromThe Stooges -Ron Asheton , andMC5 drummerDennis Thompson . The First and Last has often been hailed as one of the greatest livePunk rock albums of all time, though there is dispute as to the true genre of the album. Birdman were often regarded as one of the integral influences of Australian punk rock but their style and sound is often compared to that of theMC5 Detroit sound, and the broad genre ofProto-punk , which includes bands such asThe Stooges ,The Velvet Underground , andThe New York Dolls .Track listing
