@@mithrilmoon1 Unfortunately, with the arrival of Thatcher, presaging Reagan's Presidency, and their joint neoliberal Consumoron "society" you have to say '79 was a mixed blessing. They set the tone for the shitty socio-political environment we're in now (eg. "Greed is Good"; NuLabour: My greatest achievement: Thatcher)...which is a *great* shame, as I agree, the music was great, New Wave. Music full of quirky personality and character, viewed and heard on unifying media...
I was so fortunate to have caught a Dave Edmunds live show in the late eighties. He tore the house down! I've seen just about everyrone in concert, and Dave Edmunds stands as one of my favorites. The guy respects the craft, and I hope he continues to perform until he'a 100.
I've always been a fan of his musicianship and standards. Dave's responsible for some great music since the late 60's or early 70's. He's also been responsible for the Carl Perkins and Friends concert. Thanks Dave!
I was 15 years old when the song was released it was a classic video which I first watched 6 years ago on CZcams it was a classic song I wish we could go back to the days of the 1970.s
@Dave Edmunds Dave, thank you for taking the time to leave this comment. I feel like I've been hit by a Rockpile...in the best way. Be well and thanks again.
Wow this was 12 years ago but he was still sounding great. I saw him in the mid 80s in a bar/small club - One of the best shows I have ever seen. Just an amazing talent.
I was at an unnanounced Dave Edmunds concert at my college in August 1982. He was huge, of course, with the college crowd in those days, but by the time word got out, half the concert was over! More importantly, I sat at the foot of the two-foot high stage on the grass of the quad. Happy times!
I´m 70, and I have seen quite some concerts in my life. But I never managed to see a Dave Edmunds concert. Now he´s retired. Now I know why leaves turn brown in autumn!
@Steve Sturges Yes Gilson Lavis who played I think on the first nine Squeeze albums but you might want to check that. I seem to remember Elvis’s drummer from The Attractions, another great drummer, Pete Thomas playing on Some Fantastic Place. Gilson now tours with Jools but also an impressive artist I seem to remember from an old Modern Drummer article and he has had exhibitions so multi-talented.
I love Dave Edmonds. Got this on 7 inch vynal. Have played it again for the first time in, so many years. (just bought a new player) Great to hear it again. Great to see him on tv again too! Thanks for posting, enjoyed watching.
Dave Edmunds should be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
with Billy Bremner and Mickey Gee
He's Not?!?!
@@jeffreyrausa2098 Nope. So many lame-ass acts in it. I don't vote for it anymore.
No doubt about it
The R&R HOF is now a joke.
Has not lost an ounce of talent and ability in 30 years. Impressive performance.
Brilliant, so crisp, all these years later. He even sings every backup vocal lyrics. Passionate and talented. RRHF he deserves.
One of those tracks that still sounds superb 40 years on. Loved it then and now. Never tire of hearing it . A great era to be Alive
They don't make 'em like Dave Edmund's anymore..a true musician and a star :-)
very true an amazing song they don't make songs like this anymore
@@davinadavis4930 seriously, he's not? Say more about the HOF than it does about Dave Edmunds, that's for sure.
Dave Edmunds is so freakin talented!!! He just loves to perform and it shows in every performance! ☮️🖖🏽
You can't stop great music. It NEVER gets old
dave may be getting older but the voice is as strong as ever ! the best song costello ever wrote
I love all versions of this song, but Dave's voice just fits it like a glove.
Fantastic. His voice is great live - no blips at all. I love this song and adore this version. Brilliant artist.
His live voice is amazing
I remember this track, just rediscovered and I love it more now than then, pure fun and excitement ♥️
I was shocked how good he sounds 30 years on from the record.
Make that 40
He’s a tone down
A instead of B
He knows to suit his changing voice, and he sounds fantastic
Plus another few years . It's timeless.
Very clearly dropped the pitch: the capo is a dead give-away of that.
Brilliant…..
Dave Edmunds, one of the best ever.
Agreexx
DAVE!!! You always kill it every time. You sir are a legend.
Dave is so underrated
Madonna58 Terminiello or overrated...
Yes also very much as a guitarist
not by his peers he isn't
OMG he still sounds and plays and looks as good as he did when he first started out.
oh please can we turn back the clock........79 was an awesome year
I agree! The 21st Century is full of strife and struggle and mega rich ejits destroying peoples' lives. '79 was amazing x
Wasn’t it ‘78?

Tha man can rock! Thanks for all the years Dave. You have entertained millions with your pipes and unique style.
This is six years ago, but it's great to see Dave Edmunds again. He's been reclusive.
wow that bring back some fantastic memoires for me .a great song.
He has a great live voice
Dave's voice sounds amazing, as always
It's so good,,real music Dave Edmunds is brilliant and watching Annie Lennox having a good time and as sublime artist herself shows how good this is
Dave Edmunds....Nick Lowe.....Billy Bremner.......Terry Williams.......ROCKPILE. Such a great band

Yeah! Rock On Dave!!! ...And that drummer!!!
Simply a MASTERPIECE of his Song by a BRILLIANT Artiste ..... {{ And WHAT a Band too ...!!!! }}
Elvis Costello's song?
Never Knew that Steven ..
Always thought it was Dave's ..
Elvis wrote it and recorded it on his album 'get happy' but of course Dave made a great hit of it.
Such a clear live voice
Dave Edmunds= Rock & Roll machine!
God love Dave Edmunds! Keep on rockin'
this is the first single i ever bought and i still have it
I agree 100% with all that’s been said here. I think you’re wonderful Dave Edmunds…God bless you 🥰
Great Lyricist, good singer, and awesome band!
MR DAVE EDMUNDS IS THE TOP! LOVE HIM AND HIS MUSIC BIG BIG FAN ME!
Sounds just the same as ever brilliant ❤❤love dave❤❤
Such a great melody,....
I've always been a fan of his musicianship and standards. Dave's responsible for some great music since the late 60's or early 70's. He's also been responsible for the Carl Perkins and Friends concert. Thanks Dave!
He also produced fellow Canadien k.d. Lang's first release.
What a great performance. Discovering these nuggets is the cool thing about Sirius and CZcams.
I was 15 years old when the song was released it was a classic video which I first watched 6 years ago on CZcams it was a classic song I wish we could go back to the days of the 1970.s
Full respect to Costello for writing and singing this song but this is my favourite version. Linda was pretty cool aswell
Takes me back. I love this.
Amazing song I was only 5 when it was first released Dave is amazing live here more than I can say for a loyalty of modern pop stars now
This guy is a legend, fantastic good old rock.
This is rock`n`roll with a heart, Dave forever!!!!
Amazing. Love Dave xxx
Still lookin' and soundin' good.
I love seeing Gilson Lavis drumming on this song!
I didn't realize what a great drummer until I saw this.
First thing that caught my ear. What a drummer!
I know what a joy it is having a good drummer in the band!
This was his era. Late 70’s & 80’s with Squeeze .... he was just the best!
@@davidsutherland7737 Yes! Saw Squeeze in concert three times and he sounded great every time. The whole band did.
Love the glance at 1.14 at jools Holland as if to say yes i've still got it ! Gilson lavis loving it too brilliant
Rockpile is one of my all time favorite bands!
Fantastic, keep rock alive Dave.
That's Chris Difford and Annie Lennox jamming out and singing along to Dave Edmonds…that is very cool.
A singer who has given me great listening all my life F.D.
All Honours Go To Dave And Gilson Lavis, On Drums. Excellent !.
Good rendition of his classic,. Love them horns!
still sounds good. Unusual voice Ive always thought.
DAVE ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE S 👍
Always loved this song growing up in the 70’s was a time of stress free living…..
Stunning..... One the greats
One of my heroes; and just the perfect pop song
One of my all time favs. Brilliant live version. Thanks

@Dave Edmunds Dave, thank you for taking the time to leave this comment. I feel like I've been hit by a Rockpile...in the best way. Be well and thanks again.
❤❤❤ love you Dave
The voice is still there!
Wow this was 12 years ago but he was still sounding great. I saw him in the mid 80s in a bar/small club - One of the best shows I have ever seen. Just an amazing talent.

Great live voice
Cuts through the mix in a wonderful way.

Happy birthday to the legendary Dave Edmunds.
Saw rockpile when this was in the charts back in 1979 in Portsmouth,brilliant.
I´m 70, and I have seen quite some concerts in my life. But I never managed to see a Dave Edmunds concert. Now he´s retired. Now I know why leaves turn brown in autumn!
so awesome! great talent!
How generous of Elvis to hand this gem over. Gilson, ex Squeeze, rocking it on the drums
Wondered who that was, excellent drummer
@Steve Sturges Yes Gilson Lavis who played I think on the first nine Squeeze albums but you might want to check that. I seem to remember Elvis’s drummer from The Attractions, another great drummer, Pete Thomas playing on Some Fantastic Place.

@@misfit2022 Thanks for that, yes, truly multitalented fellow...!
Always been a Dave Edmunds fan. Great artist!
Dave, you've passed the audition ! Brilliant !!!!
IMPOSSIBLE to be so perfect. But then we are talking about a PROFESSIONAL PERFORMER. LIVE.
10/10. Excellent, as all Jools and his band collaborations always are!
As good as ever. What a talent.
What a song....
GREAT guitarist.
Great song anytime he sings it!
I love Dave Edmonds. Got this on 7 inch vynal. Have played it again for the first time in, so many years. (just bought a new player) Great to hear it again. Great to see him on tv again too! Thanks for posting, enjoyed watching.
Drummer is on fire
