5. Looks like it will be DKT/MC5. Curious!
Brothers and Sisters I wanna see a sea of hands out there.
Let me see a sea of hands.
I want everybody to kick up some noise.
I wanna hear some revolution out there, brothers, I wanna hear a little revolution.

Brothers and sisters, the time has come
For each and every one of you to decide
Whether you are gonna be the problem,
Or whether you are gonna be the solution.

You must choose, brothers, you must choose.
It takes 5 seconds, 5 seconds of decision.
Five seconds to realize that it's time to move.
It's time to get down with it.

Brothers, it's time to testify and I want to know, Are you ready to testify? Are you ready? I GIVE YOU A TESTIMONIAL, THE MC5 !!!!'

7. I didn't get it either, but . . .
. . . it is explained here:

"The MC5 were indisputably one of the most influential rock bands of all time, though only three years elapsed between the MC5’s ridiculously controversial debut Kick Out The Jams and their
demise in 1972. Over thirty years later, surviving founding members Wayne Kramer (guitar), Dennis Thompson (drums) and Michael Davis (bass) came together in March 2003 for a show at London’s famed 100 Club.

Joining them were guests including Motorhead’s Lemmy, The Damned’s Dave Vanian, Ian Astbury and The Hellacopters’ Nicke Royale. That now legendary concert—along with never-before-seen footage including John Sinclair’s promotional video Kick Out The Jams, interviews, archival footage and commentary by the band—is captured on a forthcoming DVD Sonic Revolution: A Celebration of the MC5, set for release July 6.

The DVD even includes U.S. Dept. of Defense footage of the MC5, taken from the government’s investigation of the notorious rock group during 1968’s Democratic National Convention . . . . (more, pdf, though).

Long Live The MC5
