  In January 1967, when the live recording of "Black to Comm" was captured, MC5 was just beginning to make significant waves in the music scene. This performance occurred shortly after the release of their debut album, "Kick Out the Jams," which came out in February 1969 and showcased their raw, energetic style and politically charged lyrics. The band's connection to the counterculture and their performances at various political rallies were significant, marking them as a band deeply engaged in the revolutionary spirit of the time. The track "Black to Comm," originally from their 1969 album, exemplifies their fusion of hard rock and punk energy. Notably, the MC5 were one of the first bands to combine rock music with a radical political agenda, paving the way for future punk and alternative rock movements. The live performance reflects their fervent energy and commitment to shaking up the status quo.
