People take music for granted, this is a legend performing, get off ya asses and dance. We played this last night and everybody was dancing 🕺 💃 R.I.P. this song is a banger and we will be playing it for years 🍻
I've watched this many times over the years and Barrie always seems a really nice, down to earth guy who has sadly passed away this week. R.I.P. Barrie and thanks for kickstarting my music obsession in '77
I'm glad to see 'Eddie' is happy and going strong. He was responsible for one of the best ever appearances on TOTP in the 70s - I remember jumping up and down on the sofa going spaz to this when I was about 10.
As an American born in 1974...i had a shortwave radio in my bedroom...this song changed me when I was 10, granted it was old at that point. But I was the only Yankee that had there first single, in my neighborhood
Same here man, not as old as you but was just a young teen skateboarding with friends down the street in Detroit. Saw a box of music albums laying inside box on the side of the street ready for trash pickup. Of course we started digging through and we didn’t recognize anything in there, bunch of bands we never heard of. I ended up getting some album called learning English from some band called die toten hosen….took a listen through the album and this song was on it. Changed my life forever. Even all these years later, still one of the greatest tracks I ever heard and it never gets old
I was born in 1977. I am a music fan from before I can remember. We had a jukebox that played 45s when I was a kid, you know, back when getting together with your friends after school just to listen to music was a singular activity. I just discovered this band in 2018. One of the few bands with songs you hear once and jump up out of your seat from pure instant love and excitement. Rare indeed. Rock on!
One of the best uk bands of all time,i was stationed in Germany at the time Do Anything You Wanna Do was released,i got to see the boys a couple of years later,rip Barrie,they broke the mold mate
The singing reminds me of The Jam a bit. I will never get tired of hearing this song.. I was at school when this came out and hadn't enough money to buy it so I taped it from a friends record. I actually filled a tape with this song because I loved it so much and didn't want to keep rewinding it. My dad went and taped bloody Frankie Laine's greatest hits over the whole thing. I was devastated. I put the tape on one night & it was this idiot singing songs about guns & bullets. Absolutely Gutted!
Ok, I have a comment here. One of the all time great songs, fantastic performance. Why is everyone sitting down? People my age singing along , know all the words, but they are still sitting down. Get off your blooming arse, go down the front and show some appreciation of the band! Nice to see the younger kids at the bar knew the words!
America absolutely missed out on one of the greater bands of the 1970's!!! As Music Director of WTCS, "Friendly City Rock", in Fairmont, WV I DID MY PART! Used to play them ALL the time! And you know how a lot of bands should pack it in 30 years after their initial success? Not true here! This video proves they still have it! Great!!!
I was at that awkward and influential age when this song came out. The lyrics shaped my attitude to life,work,adults. Even today I would advise any disillusioned teenager to listen to the words and take it from there. I saw the original lineup and also got them all to sign the cover of the record. Now one of my treasured possessions. BTW, There's another great band/ song I'd recommend with a similar message. Its 'Dont Just Sit There' by The Crack. Put the headphones on & check it out here on YT.
Not many bands will ever write a song as good as this and in true British FASHION it's been widely ignored and seldom heard on the radio since I first jumped around to it as a kid. Brilliant.
one of the most beautiful and genuine persons i ever got to know,and not just our beautiful friend barry but the band as well,first saw him and the rods when they supported the jam,so you now know how f..king great that experience was
Go ahead Eddie you still sound great - we launched Paris first Punk hall "The Neutron Dolls" in Paris- Blanche on 1976 with your first album , together with what was there those days which didn't reach 15 albums ! The rest of time we produced Franch punk bands such as Asphalt Jungle, Johnny Thunder sometimes come in to spin some records . Glorious times ! Compliments - great band !
I have fond memories of that "Summer Madness '77" tour and the Town Park Concert. I was lucky enough to see them in 2017 and Barrie still nails those hits G-L-O-R-iiiiiiii-A :)
This is the most famous misetimate band of the last 70's!!!!!!!! Sound perfect but they no justice in life : ( I see Buzzcok & on stage this year it was too bad but sold out^^
I was at this gig in Harlow, 2 summers ago. Hot sunny day. Hardly anybody there, but a good day. Eddie & the Hotrods were 2nd on the bill to The Subways.
Bonsoir . Ce morceau que je faisais avec le Groupe Burke And Pillage me cassait la voix et que de beaux souvenirs avec ce Groupe que nous aimions faire des reprises .
Hey! The guy at 2:05 i have the same t shirt!! i love jim Jones Revue!!..Eddie and the hot rods..they kick asses...Rock'n'roll can never die friends....
This is not Punk - it's what allowed Punk, it's root is in the Pubs - hence Pub Rock. Check out Dr.Feelgood, but the early stuff with Wilko Johnson. Roxette, All thru' the City.
So it comes tot Issa for a once great band, playing to a few, very few people, mostly sitting down and two girls dancing. I saw this band several times with the original line up, awesome, this is just karaoke!
The KTs try their hand at The Hot Rods classic give it a spin - DO ANYTHING ANYTHING YOU WANNA DO - THE KILLER TOMATOES ( EDDIE AND THE HOT RODS BAND COVER )
What the fuck... looks like a place to bring the grandkids... sometime it's better to give it up before it dies... but they need to eat and pay the bills I guess.
@@SuperAnimelover100 Don't get me wrong, they still sound good, but there's just something sad about seeing them old... like a reminder of my own mortality. Wow, 4 years since I commented here!😮... life goes by so fast!
@@SuperAnimelover100 That was my first thought when I seen this video... and yeah, it happens when musicians get old... sad, not too many people know who they are anymore☹ Love their early work and their cover of "Get Out Of Denver"🤘
@@JohnWayne-86ed I never heard of them before but watched the video and just went nuts. American here and I find it strange they never made it in the U S ! I keep playing Teenage Depression a lot. Thank God for You Tube !

One of the best sounds to come out of the seventies. RIP Barrie Masters
Very well said. Sad day...
I've watched this many times over the years and Barrie always seems a really nice, down to earth guy who has sadly passed away this week. R.I.P. Barrie and thanks for kickstarting my music obsession in '77
About 3 minutes of absolute perfection
Shame no one in the audience can dance! Loved this song when it came out, one of the anthems of my youth - RIP Barrie.
Who cares how they dance you bell end
Ha ha! Still rocking the white trousers and bare chest look. Excellent band. Sound as good as ever...
RIP Barrie. Thanks for giving me this great song to remember x
This is classic; it'll always be timeless!
RIP Barrie , even after all these decades its such a timless classic from when i was 16 , such fond memories from my youth
God Bless Barrie! What an amazing band! I am an original 1977 pUnK, and these were there at the start! This is my favourite song of all time! dx

Same old story... I was 10 ... living in deep France... it's the best song to get baby to listen during the pregnancy

one of the finest records of all time ! ...great performance
It still rocks. Legends don't die, Barrie will be jamming in Punk Heaven!!
nice to hear and watch one of the best song of the 70's
Loved this song as a teenager, mesmerized by the guitar sound

The roots of British punk born in Essex like me . Magic band
barrie masters, top bloke.
Amazing that they still sound the same 35 years on. Thanks for uploading.

Yup, should have been a huge hit in America, The Records basically did a cover / tribute to this great song and had a hit with " Starry Eye's"
Fantastic punk Barry Masters, this song should get more recognition, its brilliant ❤
Absolutely brilliant! I had the single back in the day, one of my favourite songs of 1977.
A great tune, thanks for posting!
How could they sit if this Song is played 😒 still Love it
Rock on

Well done guys, it still sounds great!
great band in great times 70s besst time to be around
Sad day for punk rock. R.I.P. Barry Masters

Love it. RIP Barry. ❤️

Sparse crowd for a band that was the bollocks when we was kids. lol
Amazing.
An anthem
I have fond memories of that "Summer Madness '77" tour and the Town Park Concert. I was lucky enough to see them in 2017 and Barrie still nails those hits G-L-O-R-iiiiiiii-A :)
Still going very strong!
Love it so wish I was there.
My all time favourite single of all time, I bought this as a 45 and wore it out. However, seeing this now Jesus, they were just a pub band.
will all have a journey in life, keep those happy days
This is the most famous misetimate band of the last 70's!!!!!!!!
Sound perfect but they no justice in life : (
I see Buzzcok & on stage this year it was too bad but sold out^^
Great track
Barrie still can belt it out! Still sounds fantastic. Great footage.
A classic rip barry
old fux still got it.. good shyyt!
Really enjoyed that ! Thanks,
I was at this gig in Harlow, 2 summers ago. Hot sunny day. Hardly anybody there, but a good day. Eddie & the Hotrods were 2nd on the bill to The Subways.
And the crowd went wild

Hi!
nice one, thanks for posting
Yes from the local Soundboard with on camera audio as well. Edited on Sony Vegas 10

Nice interview... viva Barrie Masters, a great gentleman and true Punk ; )
Rip
I played wit em small club SF Bottom of The Hill
Haut niveau rock !
Just following on from my previous comments. I saw a performance in 2009 and its just a shame that in 2 years it lost that edge.

rip Barrie ,gutted ..
Rip Bazza
Ok, thanks.
RIP
The Link, harlow, Essex, UK
So it comes tot Issa for a once great band, playing to a few, very few people, mostly sitting down and two girls dancing. I saw this band several times with the original line up, awesome, this is just karaoke!
Yes, it's all rather sad I'm afraid. And there are just too many silly meaningless 'festivals' these days.
Hello ZNB, great video ...
Did you take the sound from the soundboard ?
Great video. Where is location ?
I met Paul Gray just the other day!!! :) (the bass player)
Doing the easier bass part (don't blame him) but I miss all the original high notes and fills.
Needs more Gray!
Agreed! Can't get enough Gray!
Rop baz
Crowds so disrespectful
Living proof that alcohol, cigarettes and drugs ar good for you! :-D
Brilliant band!
We lost Bazzer...
What's 'Link Fest'?!? Another field with a few bands playing in it? Lol
Its a large annual event , now in Harlow Town Park, search LinkFest and also see other Video on my channel
Get up and dance you lazy bastards
The KTs try their hand at The Hot Rods classic give it a spin - DO ANYTHING ANYTHING YOU WANNA DO - THE KILLER TOMATOES ( EDDIE AND THE HOT RODS BAND COVER )
Why make it sound so flouncy and poppy, l truly rank the original amongst my all time favourite songs but for me this version has lost it's raw edge.
Yes and the tempo dragged back.
Zombie audience!
What the fuck... looks like a place to bring the grandkids... sometime it's better to give it up before it dies... but they need to eat and pay the bills I guess.
Rather sad to agree and I do. :(

Yes they sound decent but looking at the small crowd and the background seemed sad. :(
