this world needs more Dave

This song is just fabulous

Dave's voice just cuts. He is the real deal.

The great Terry Williams on drums. There was a life before Dire Straits.

Brilliant track which has gone into obscurity for some reason, can't understand why. Great song, great live performance.

Great tune; played it in a band in the early 80s. That whole album was killer. The old saying holds true; they don't make music like they used to. Today's crap is shit.

This was performed on 9th January 1979, studio 2, Thames Television - I still have my original ticket. Im sitting on the stage. NEVER thought I would see this on the net! Thanx for posting and bringing back some very happy memories :)

@@mbogucci1 Well it was. I was there (as was an earlier poster). I don't know how old you are, but it was a common practice for Top of the Pops back then - and fairly common knowledge - that singers/bands lip synced. You can look it up. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_of_the_Pops#Miming

​ @Mike Bogucci Perhaps mimed is a better word. I know because I WAS there,, whether you believe it or not. So I'm afraid that unless you were there too, you would not have heard/seen it for yourself. I am sitting on the stage on the left hand side with the patterned skirt (and very ugly heavy fringe!) at the beginning and end of the video. I was with my sister and my friend; I still have my entry ticket! Top of the Pops had artists record their songs and mime along to it for the very reason that live performances didn't always go well. And it's not that difficult to mime a whistle! And I wasn't actually asking for your age lol! I've said all I have to say about this, take it or leave it - and I mean that amicably :)

The jewel in this crown, what takes it over the top, is the intro done by the late, glorious and irreplaceable Kenny Everett in his Sid Snot character. Superfantastic. This made my year.

Great song by Billy Bremner. I like his version too, but Dave voice suits it better. Rockpile Rocks!

Written by the great Billy Bremner, who performed a cracking version of the song last night at the 100 Club with his terrific Rockpile tribute band Rockfiles

Great song. Cracking up at the guys in front trying so hard to be cool.

Just awesome singing

I like dave Edmunds singing trouble

GREAT video! Pub Rock at its best! Music for drinking large quantities of beer to!

Young polecats in the audience bopping !! 😎😎😎

I loved Rockpile! Thanks for the upload.

Wat waren de Trouble Boys toen nog lief, en deugnieten te noemen.Ik hoef verder over deze tijd niets toe te voegen.

Love that album. Tracks on Wax 4

Very fine to see this, Thanx

What a gem! Thanks for the upload :)

Wow Love you Dave and of course your Music

Happy Rock'n'Roll

that ted on 2.16 is brilliant !

Who can do this live now!! No one!

THIS!!!!!!

I'm always sad that I never got to see them perform as Rockpile. I've seen Nick 4 times but didn't get to see Dave :-(

Lekkere muziek , lekkere meiden ,ruige motor, mooie tijd .

that was a great time for this ol' hippie....sick n' tired of local punk shows, alot of wankers who don't know more than 2 chords....I was yearning for some pure rock.....springsteen answered my prayer, then out came rockpile, then the next thing you know keith and the wino's....the brits had to straighten me out!!!

Singer/guitarist Monti Amundson and his power trio the Blubinos played the hell out of this rockabilly gem in the Portland clubs in the late '80s and early '90s. A Billy Bremner composition under his pseudonym Billy Murray (his middle name).

Nick and Billy are completely lost in the crowd. I wonder whatever became of the girl in the green dress...

This is mimed but on stage, they both played the solo in perfectly synchronised unison. Bremner sang it on stage for that matter, I think this only has the Edmunds vocal because he was promoting the Trax on wax album.

Late 70's pompadours are quite strange indeed.

All those confederate flags on the revelers. Did they think they were going to see Eric Clapton or something? As someone who’s been fortunate to be at many live music tv shoots, I’ve never seen one as chaotic as this. Great stuff. Rockpile was one of the best bands of their time and all of their music holds up.

Over time, the confederate flag just became synonymous with the region. Not everyone who branded it did it for political purposes.

I like Dave singing it more than when Billy does.

Sid Snot RIP

Written by Billy bremner , in the uk thin Lizzy had small hit with it .

This singer and player can operate in a zoo-like environment. Kudos because that's not studio.

why isn't billy singing? this is the song he usually steps forward for!

i thought billy always sang this since he wrote it
