Rarities like this are why I hang out on YouTube. Live performances from this era are hard to come by. I'd sure like to know where this one was filmed.

"Stranger In Town" is such a great and deep song, filled with paranoia and desperation. Del's the greatest, this should have been a Top 10 record, not Top 30.  The camera angles are friggin' great! Love it! Just my cop it!

@lilmisscarriage messy yes but quick and painless and cyanide is not always so easy to come by It might have been the most viable way at hand I hope he did he out of doors especially if he did not live alone Tragic as they say the good die young or at least reasonalby young

@elamite66 Ya know ; if i was going to end my days I don`t believe i would choose a rifle to do it ?

Breathtaking perfomance considering when it was filmed. I love the set and lighting too.

First song to scare me half to death....I was just a young boy and I heard this and never stopped loving Del......this and Handy Man are in my top 20 singles of all time.....

@delshannonnetwork Well said.

I bought this record when I was 15 and as much as I liked Del his best recordings were behing him how could they not be? with classics like Runaway, Little Town Flirt etc. A great talent it's too bad he lost his life the way he did He'll always be remembered

This guy leaves modern day videos a mile behind

[64goldenoldies]

this man had the talent and sang with feeling of his heart

[DrBeebster]

This live version is spell binding and Del's singing is just fantastic. I wish there were more of Del from this period...

@delshannonnetwork I sure remember early 1965 as being very desperate; I was 14 or 15 and always in trouble and this song and something or other by the Shangri-Las was always on the radio. Crazy desperate time.
