Louisiana "fish-head" rockers The Radiators bring their unique rock-and-roll jambalaya from the stage to the television set in this performance captured live on New Year's Eve 2004. Long known for their marathon live sets, The Radiators laid the groundwork for a generation of jam bands and roots rockers, and after twenty-six years of rocking they still have what it takes to get an audience on their feet. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
