Given all the havoc the MC5 left in their dazzling but troubled wake, it’s astonishing to look back and realize that it all occurred within such a compressed period of time. It was slightly more than four years from plugging in their Vox amps into Detroit’s Grande Ballroom’s decrepit electrical outlets and recording Kick Out the Jams to imploding on that same stage, downcast, disheartened, unrehearsed, with four of the five members drug-addicted for their final show on Dec. 31, 1972. It felt like a blurry spedup movie without the happy ending.
