[tazloon]

Remember watching this when it first aired, saw them at the Aragon in Chicago for only 8 bucks, one of the best concerts i ever went to!

[consul1957]

Fuckin great hair!

[JeffersonDinedAlone]

Brian Setzer and the orange gretsch, class

[randomrose82]

If it were possible to 'Like' this 20,000,000 times, I would! lol

[Fynn2306]

It's a Johnny Burnette Trio tune ! From 1956.

[DrKuurus]

Now that was a live performance!...not many in can knock out quality like that live these days...

[tharsiskenobi2]

I wish I could dig @valinmal 's comement a thousand times :/

[Antmagnet]

You don't think it's already here? Imelda May from Ireland, The Vanishers in canada, Legendary Shack Shakers in the US, Devil Doll, Horrorpops and Volbeat all use Rockabilly and slap bass. It never went away man

[MrFerdell]

These guys saved rockabilly!

[billc756]

Straight up ROCK AND ROLL !! More so than ANYBODY in the R&R Hall of lame!

[doowopftw]

Rockabilly at it's best; greatest Rockabilly Band ever!

[biailledji]

ca doit etre cool de danser assis

[Waldenpunk]

All you need is 3 cool cats to make fucking awesome rock and roll!

[sattuviitana]

This is the best band in the world and a very nice live version, VERY nice!!!

[AbyssRaider]

What a great band, has to be my fav in Rockabilly!

[JamesTKirkCobain]

You talk about them wearing eyeliner but consider Elvis did the same exact thing in the 1950`s. Not only eyeliner but eyeshadow. He use to freak out Johnny Cash with that. Talk about balls right? Elvis will always be the first punk rocker. The dude use to do dance moves that he saw strippers doing, and this was in the 1950`s!

[valinmal]

@JamesTKirkCobain

I think the term now is Guy-liner..or is it geye-liner?

[gretschbriansetzer]

i wish rockabilly was the mainstream from today

[wildcatfalling]

the best

[THOMASJSANNICOLA]

Really good!

[skyeblue2772]

He is so awesome!! Excellent playing, singing, lyrics and love the crazy wild hair!!

[mrke8ting]

YEAH!! cool band indeed, love their style of music, rock & roll mixed rockabilly, great mix. Are they still performing? Or what.

[greaser1993]

no they broke up but there all still performing on their own and brian has his own orchestra

[valinmal]

Brian has a rockabilly band The Nashvillians... They ROCK!

[TheBrunswickBillings]

Coolest band ever.

[knird]

yeah that's right!!!

[rockinguitar93]

well I´ve seen elvis in the early years wearing that "eyeline" thing. I guess its some cool rockabilly thing :)

[valinmal]

Brians got a new band...The Nashvillians ♥...see them if you can.♬

[blaberdeen]

This is the clip was taken from the "Fridays" show. I had just returned from the UK where I was introduced to the Cats. I watched this while recording it on a very early VHS recorder. My copy is very poor so it is great to see this one.

Thank you!

[volksrepair]

ROCKIN' !! Never seen this one - THANKS for posting!!

[JSavic]

Great performance ! They're doped up to their eyeballs &, when they've finished, they're staring out the audience like 3 mean SOB's !

[DjangoAZombie]

This was their debut American TV performance so that may have had something to do with them staring

[derfyy2009]

They Are Cool

[56blondie56]

great !!!

trop genial !

[caninodental]

Es impresionante escuchar esta musica!!! te llena de energia!!!

[dkfelix]

To me one of the best clips with the Stray Cats, because they stick to the tune and don't improvise and drag it in all directions musically!!

[jaumzitcho]

what about that face in 2:10 ?

[greenjeansmjr]

Truly Amazing.

[im4wur]

This is tight.

[loserfest]

Tabs anyone? :P

[valinmal]

It's been almost 30 years! Time for another rockabilly revival. 50's-80's 2010??

[TheDirtyMongGoose]

[losrocketmen]

@valinmal I'm working on it, man!!

[orwullie]

[champbailey02]

@valinmal

[valinmal]

@champbailey02

I love Nick Curran.. I used to see him play in LA.. sort of Rockabilly swing..at least back when I saw him.

[RmonSP]

@valinmal

PLEASE, it's about time!!

The rockabilly scene isn't too big, there really ought to be a revival now!

[TheChicanodude]

@valinmal i wanna try to revive this but i need to study it more to understand the concept of this beautiful true Rock :D

[ranaloca77]

GUAU!!!

[beavercreak]

[Salo70]

It doesn't get any better than this! They'll be here in Helsinki at the end of august.

[lonelysingingdoll]

((((((((((((:

[shep79]

WHOA!!  THANKS!! LOVE THIS TUNE!!!

[Tazz77]

I remember seeing this back in 81. They didn't even have a US record deal at the time and you could only buy there records as imports.

Cool clip.

[billyrocka]

rockabilly rules with the stray cats,man thats rock n roll!!!!!

[rally1234me]

BEST STRAY CATS SONG EVER

[dru42or3]

@rally1234me IT'S A JOHNNY BURNETTE TUNE, BE SURE TO CHECK OUT ALL THE JOHNNY BURNETTE TRIO STUFF. BEST ROCKABILLY THERE IS.

[killingismybusniess]

actually its by johnny burnett and the hot rod trio

[ratsdontrace]

Fantastic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[good1dan]

I agree with mikey, seen them at Leeds everytime they've come and once in London. Wish it could have been many more. They were, and still are, one of the biggest influences of my life. Takes me back to the 80's, when I was a mere 14 year old... I still remember playing Rock this Town '45' for the first time! Thank God for youtube...

[mikeystrafford]

My absolute favorite time of life in the world. The only reason I don't feel cheated that I didn't grow up in the fifties is because brian Setzer came around in the 80's. I am SOOOO priveledged

[imperial78]

Setzer rocks

[jdawg4098]

I wish this was actually live. It's a rig...

Look at the drummer at 00:17, he's not playing live. And they're so drunk / stoned they can't stand up straight at the end.

Doesn't change the fact that it's an awesome song though.

[nofun1969]

this is live.

[shep79]

I think so too.

[UVASG03]

This is great. Thanx for posting this!

[whitteydog]

Kids this is what rock-a-billy is. It's got all the ingrediants in here that you need to cook some up.Now get out there and COOK!

[shakey64]

thats some cool rocking. Around this time (81) I was heavy into Ac/dc,Rush,Nugent,Van Halen..etc...that is until I saw the Stray Cats on American Bandstand around Xmas...I was floored...changed my way of dress and look and rock n roll. Go Daddy O!

[ubussubus]

great!

[chrisplows101]

I'll let Brian Setzer off for the bad hair bleach and crap tattoos. Superb rendition of the Johnny Burnette Trio classic.

[smellyquezada]

THIS SONG ROCKS

[thejukeboxninja]

Hep to the core! These guys live were something else.

[sdold]

Wasn't this from "Fridays"? Thanks for posting.

[smudgey6120]

one of my fave all time songs..soooooo damn gritty

[lgtmelo]

Awesome!!!!

[gretsch58]

badass all the way around!!!

[RocknC]

well, eyeliner was the thing back in the 80's i guess

[puttheblame]

The more I listen to this song the better it gets.

[JimmyVolmer]

Well, there is some serious energy coming off these dudes.

[66fredo99]

Unreal.

[SiwRo]

Stray Cats are simply the best. God I love them. Setzer is the uncrowned rockabilly king

[Patsik]

Great!

I'm a fan since day one...

It's not just his guitar playing. He's singing great too!

[ROCKABILLYRULES]

I love the way Setzer plays that guitar. He is full of engery like his audiance is. Hear the women screaming in the background. lol..

[edmind]

thanks a lot for this video

[nofun1969]

It's werid. They completely started the neo-rockabilly and help create the psychobilly scenes. If you really think about that its crazy.

[32deuce]

Yeh, mid-late 70's Punk Rock seemed to slowly change, untill we had the Rockabilly revival here in the UK in 1980.. Even the Sex Pistols covered Eddie Cochran's "Something Else"

[nofun1969]

o yea i heard that. not nearly as good as cats' or eddie's though.

[Vampslayer7]

I absolutely agree.. Rockabilly Rules!

[wildones]

Love the eyeliner..

[Brozzador]

Its the New Wave thing, hehehe....
