Remember watching this on TV as a teeneger. Saw the skids supporting the Stranglers back in the 70's. Fantastic band live. The guitar Richard Jobson is playing is a Yamaha Superflighter SF700. There's a Youtube vid of the band playing Masquerade on ToTP with Stuart playing the same guitar. Don't ever remember seeing him play it live though.

I loved this. It didn't sound like anything I'd heard before. I loved the pace of it...the way it slowed and started up again...OOOOF!

Superb song, superb band. Bands will never be this good again. This is when music was done well. In the afterlife (if there is one) i wanna punch Stuart Adamson for taking his own life, i am sure he will understand! ;)

Rich is playing rhythm. Watch Stuart's sol.......there is a rhythm guitar playing, a wrong note, and Rich looks up to see did anyone notice. I have Stuart's autograph after speaking with him in the mid 80s. A gentleman. Skids still are my favorite ever band...and I'm in my 40s !!!

Yes I thought that the first 50 times I watched it. I thought he was actually playing lead after Stuarts intro ( the bit that reminds me of Sousxie and the banshees) and then Stuart plays the simple 4 note part in the background and breaks in for the chorus. Its hard to see from the video mind,cheers mate



Hey there Germo, can you make out what Jobbie is playing ? Is it a Gibson?

I'd guess at a Yamaha. Definatley not a Gibson SG.
Big question though, was it plugged in ?
