If I'm stepping on anyone's adolescent crush here, I apologize. A disappointingly brief 45 minute concert, with a good third of the song list given over to covers better performed by their originators (including Tommy James & the Shondells' "Crimson and Clover" and Sly & the Family Stone's "Everyday People"), bad girl Joan Jett's "smoldering set of her greatest hits" (according to the DVD jacket), served up in Dolby Digital 5.1 sound, includes all two of them: "Bad Reputation" and "I Love Rock 'n Roll." Beyond that, we're talking remakes and slim original pickin's, such as "Fetish," "Cherry Bomb," "Love Is All Around (Mary Tyler Moore Theme)," "Light of Day" and "Roadrunner." DVD extras include a pair of music videos for "Real Wild Child" and "Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah)" and a photo montage. For diehard fans only, this is not a necessary purchase. Aud: P. (R. Pitman)
