According to a Prudential Center news release:

“From the time of their first gig in 1977, the Misfits and their iconic imagery went on to become one of the most crucially influential, genre-defying bands to ever emerge from North America. The Misfits significance extends well beyond the narrowed path of punk rock, metal and hardcore. Although not cognizant of how significant they would become, what the original Misfits achieved in their initial seven-year window deconstructed and redefined rock music. The Misfits with Danzig’s anthemic songs and unmistakable voice, Only’s ferocious bass sound, and the original Misfits’ melody-induced choruses and authentically bruising musicianship, cemented their importance with all ensuing generations. And now legions of diehard fans from around the world will have the opportunity to hear the original band that forges a level of intensity unprecedented in the new millennium. Don’t miss this important chapter in the legendary band’s legacy of brutality.”
