[SuperMoggles]

ian dury one of the rare true modern day poets

[playitforpakare]

Thanks for posting this. Charley Charles driving it all along beautifully as usual and Ian showing the genius of his stagecraft. Works for me every time.

[TabeKat12]

Hendon is a lot further away than Gerrads Cross....if you go sideways!!

Class!!!

[GaryNull]

Love Ian, . . but is it just me or did that album "Mr Love Pants" kinda sucked?

[spaced0ubt]

hey there irishtullfan... have also often considered the similarity to Alex... both totally unique, totally uncommercial and totally real!

[kantaton]

Thanks for sharing this! ... and I'm glad Chaz Jankel has lost his beard :-) Ian Dury always makes me smile.

[irishtullfan]

he reminds me of alex harvey , anyone agree?

[MrSobstory]

why should I feel bad about something I aint ad

such stupidness is mad cos nothing underfoot

comes to nothing less to add to a load of old toot

and I aint half not half co theres nowhere to put it

Such a sick fuckin tune!!!

[Trevor45666]

[ralucagymnast]

Phenomenal: what year was this from?

[johnnyvicious2]

It takes much longer to get up North - the slow way.

[GaryNull]

if you go sideways, . . .

[BigChelseaDan]

Has there ever been a better rythmn section than Charlie Charles and Norman Watt-Roy ?

[jibsmokestack1]

@BigChelseaDan i think ron carter and tony williams were pretty good. If you're talking pop music mate, ok, just clarify that!

[terracottagazebos]

Blockheads one of the finest backing bands ....ever.

[WINDYwow]

I agree ... I saw them in Kilburn in 1978 .... Only bested that year by Parliament.

[mancsmoveseast]

Got to agree,saw them many times,highly skilled but much dismissed and a fun band!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MehefinHeulog]

Jankel Jenius

incredible

[SteveBlakemore]

Not listened to for at least 20 years.Great band and for my part overlooked the drummer.Anyone know his name.

[humanityfirstnow]

Charlie Charles, sadly died of cancer some years ago

[shashi2005]

Great music - but that shirt is WAAAYYYY toooo loud -

Seriously though, Mr. Dury was - a great musician / poet/ wit / raconteur / speaking voice / Imagination and above all, a great bloke.

Much missed.

[tokaicarl]

great fuckin rendition of this song

[BLANKDRED69]

dope performance....and what a band...

[oguz327]

F#ckin wicked!

[soosidescott]

tightest rhythm section ever.

ever-ever-ever

Criminally underrated

[garykupa]

Yeah,

I remember him when he was Kilburn and the High Roads and a mate of mine even went out with one of the girl backing singers who were called the Roadettes.

I do an acustica version of this with harminica, I´ll be posting it up soon.

Gary Kupa

[bobany1]

I can't wait

Bob

[garykupa]

Hi Bob,

I did a gig last wednesday at Los Goya in Monforte de Lemos and it was all recorded so when I get the dvd I´ll post it up.

Gary Kupa

[SteveBlakemore]

Hurry up mate with your accoustic version Im holding my breath

[garykupa]

Hi Mate,

Just put it up, but couldn´t split the tracks, so clever trevor is the second song.

Let me know what you think . . .

Cheers

[czeckit]

ohh yeah. this is good.

[majorsnag]

He was a dude man! so lyrical n' witty.

[Reint25]

Who is the guitarist fully left with the semi-acoustic who you see at 1:55 and does the solo? Was he also in Kilburn & High Roads?

[pudwad]

That'll be Chaz Jankel on lead guitar mate. He made an album called Chazanova & did other solo stuff with Ian & possibly sly & Robbie too.

[djkillz1]

Thanks for adding this, amazing performance.

Loved it
