Some of the things I like about this clip.. the stage was too small for Dexys and the challenge augmented their camradery and their evident grace. I love how the sax guy comes out like a hungry elephant in the dark, and how Kevin is kneeling, like we are in a revival meeting. Not depicted in this clip-Kevin chastised the audience calling them souless, I always wondered what triggered that, if it was real anger or part of the show.
Dexys Midnight Runners were not just some novelty one-hit wonder act; they were actually a great band. Kevin Rowland was a genius, unique voice, great songwriter. What went wrong?
For the moment, no. They are for some reason not keen on this performance, maybe not enough metallic streamers. (ha ha) I love it though. I am considering going door to door with a laptop and making Dexy's Housecalls.
they were a great band

My all time favourite Dexys's number. They were amazing live and on record. Idiots who call them one hit wonders, hell, are idiots!

I have a theory. I think they just kept getting better and can't bear looking back at their former glory.

After you have seen all NZ has to offer (should take at least a day), come by Australia. I'd love to see whole gig.
Given lack of decent Dexys video, think "they" should let "us" see something!
Thanks for posting this. To me it is sublime.
I will subscribe and explore other clips. Cheers again
