Aside from the killer band and songwriting, Dury was a phenomenal performer. His movements were so theatrical and precise, the expressiveness of his eyes alone could carry a music video. I love his spontaneous reaction when the mic causes some feedback. I guess he knew that his body was limited in movement so he made the most of what he had, and he used it fantastically. Not every frontman can be this charismatic while standing in one spot. An actor, a musician, a mime and a sad clown.
The fact that he was disabled and still managed to do what he did is so amazing
Pure genius 👏
Y and they played at German Rockpalast I was that time 2 years alive in Germany. Chaz the Keyboarder got me to Duty actually. ( ˘ ³˘)♥
I wanted to say a comment like that but all I could do is laugh with pleasure at how much I just fuckin' love him.
Brilliant. I was a Blockhead. I followed them round London that year. I’d give anything to be back there.
Big Hug. We saw them only four times in 78/79. THE best band I ever saw, bar none. When you find the Time Travel solution, I'll come with you. More Big Hugs.
@@moyajanko6642 78/79! I was probably in the crowd with you. So sad when we lost him. It was like part of my youth had been ripped away.
Lucky duck
Me too ❤❤❤
How fun!!
Damn they were good.
Not many bands with such talented players.
Never a band that had the funky, punky, jazzy, rocking multi-flavours like the Blockheads.
Still miss Ian.
Mister Dury, the man who, interview after interview, insisted that he wanted to play music to dance to. While he would never, ever be able to dance himself…
@@pateris Many of us cannot for other reasons dance but love dance music....
@@7554EdwardG Yes, but the poor guy definitely had a reason… Makes it quite poignant, innit ?
@@pateris Yeah, very poignant. Dury was a tiger of a man, fronting a fabulous band. Interviews nicely as well ; a geezer but also a smart thinker, yet someone you could seemingly share a pint with and chill out with. Badly missed but great to have the music as his legacy.
@@7554EdwardG Most musicians are, it seems, aye ?
Charlie Charles was a fantastic drummer, perfect fit for the band. Sad about his illness and demise. They were all great musicians, every one of them ! RIP Ian & Charlie !
Norman Watt Roy! Bass killer
I saw the gig in German TV when I was 15. I'll never forget these feelings...
What were those feelings?
Habe ihn auch im Rockpalast live gesehen, war geile Zeit.
Charlie Charles wasn't flashy, but you get the impression he could handle anything at all, and play through an earthquake without missing a beat. And the combination of him and Norman ... just perfect.
Yeah not flash, but just on it. I mean Norman would hardly partner up with someone less than brilliant would he?
What I'd pay to see this band today!
They still play.
periurban I’ve seen them, I meant the original band with Ian.
I been a musically myopic blues guy for my entire life...now 76 years...but recently checked these guys out on youtube...couldn't believe how expert their musicianship is...I feel like a fool tho' for not hearing them while they were on the scene...
Especially compared to todays music. 😀
That’s the beauty of music
He reminds me a bit of Oliver Reed. I friggen love Ian and the Blockheads. Great musicianship and he is quite a presence. Ian is an entertainer.
I was lucky enough to see them at Buffalo State College , Buffalo NY April 28, 1978. To this day the BEST! live show I've ever seen. Right from the moment Kozmo Vinyl introduced them to the final note of the show pure magic. That night is burned into my brain. The ticket cost $4 AND they spelled Dury wrong on the ticket. We loved Lou Reed but the Blockheads blew him off the stage. Just saying
Apparently true in a few places on that tour - Lou was not well pleased..............(I saw Led Zep and Keith Richard's New Barbarians at Knebworth in 1979 and the next day, Ian Dury at the Hammersmith Odeon - London... - same - Incredible (and we got in free...........Lesley.....There's recording (9 songs) of 9.8.1979 on a site called G-u-i-t-a-r-s One oh one (use the right spelling and numbers)............also recommend "Hold on to your structure" DVD Hammersmith 1985.....I went to the one on the 12th.
Great story! Jealous! Love Lou and Ian awesome men from 2 great cities just singing about life, legends god bless them.
Brilliant ❤️from Leeds 🇬🇧
Reed and Dury wow. As good as Joy Division and Buzzcocks,
I remember Ian duty and the block heads from the 70s when they had just transitioned from kilburn and the hughroaders. I couldn't afford a ticket to go out and see them then but I did go out and get New Boots and Panties.
Johnny Turnbull, what a great guitarist!
What a tight band and Dury is a legend. One of the bands I really wish I'd seen live.
Ian's brilliant (of course) but the band are so good and so well timed - this is a work of genius.
Thought I had seen every bit of Ian Dury footage out there but this is a new one and an absolute corker. Seen them live so many times I lost count. This is a great reminder of why I love them so much. Maybe they worked that bit harder to coax some life out of the audience. RIP Ian, Charlie, Strangler and now sadly Derek.
I saw them that year. Right by the stage in the middle in a small venue. Probably the best live band I've ever seen.
One of the greatest vibrant punk rockers ever!RIP IAN
I D and the bocks weren't punk they were unique did there own thing class early stuff
@@gordoncarter348 Indeed they were Gordon, my favourite band of all time.
@The Peter Lorre Companion Channel it's like elvis Costello said the media put labels on us
Newcastle Australia 1981 Civic Theatre - I was a teen, blown away, stood up and danced my arse off to the whole set - to the chagrin of the bouncers . My best friend and I loved 'New Boots and Panties' and 'Do It Yourself" (and Kilburn and the High Roads) and we used to sing all the lyrics all the way to school every day. Then they came to town and we saw them, it was the best band ever! to this day. In that year we saw Bowie, Cold Chisel and Ian Dury and the Blockheads and those three gigs were mind-blowingly great. I've seen great gigs since (including Wilco and Norman Watt Roy - twice!) but that particular gig remains an outstanding experience in my life.
I was there too Was bloody loud .Awesome stuff Megan
Partial to your abracadabra could easily be a Blur song. Very Damon the way it moves.
An amazing group of real musicians in the punk era with a lead vocalist who was like nothing that came before or after .Ian was a real one off ,What a legend
Ian Dury and the Blockheads are all my brain and body need.
So much better live than in the studio. I remember there's a documentary on the "Stiff" label where they said nobody wanted to play after Ian Dury and that's easy to understand. They were just explosive, what a band!
Sorry, must disagree; live & studio equally excellent (but I do agree with the rest of your comment)..!
stiff little fingers?
@@rahan9886 no I think the title is "If it ain't stiff"
You're thinking of the band, this is the label that also had Elvis Costello.
And elvis costello and the attractions were on the same bill as well,even they didn't want to go on after him
Love Ian Dury & the Blockheads... Ian’s song writing genius is right up there with the very best of them!
I was working in Travemunde on the east German border used to play this on the beach the Germans eventually got it ended up loving the music that was about 1979 new boots and panties great place lovely times might go back one day
Saw the band two times in "Duseldoof". Once with Third World, second time with the Mr.Pugh Puppet-Show (the best I've ever witnessed) Love the band, Love Mr. Dury, Love the Funk, Love the Kilburn, Love the bass, the sax,m the guitar, the drums, the keys, the ATTITUDE !
Oh my, oh my: this gig is so HOT, so PERFECT - I must laugh (cry) at Ian's epic struggle to get that audience to live a little... Wonderful Ian and those hottest Blockheads!
Saw him on tor about this time, a very generous performer
ThAnks So Much!!!
Greatings From Barcelona Spain; North California and Caracas

Possibly the tighest rhythm section at this time. NWR and CC
“Sweet Gene Vincent, I’m back!”
It’s hard to believe a obsure quote from one my favorite tv shows would lead me to find this.. gd the blockheads rock!
Love Iain Dury, never saw him live,wish I did?
New Boots and Panties. Great Album. Ian Dury. Genius.
Such raw energy from the whole band, especially Ian ... made up for the moribund audience :-)
It goes without saying how eyewateringly tight the Blockheads are...but this set is really exceptional. Instantly 'In the pocket' with German precision.
Agreed, this is simply fantastic stuff.
Amazingly so
This album holds a peculiar spot in the pantheon of brilliant and original music. An absolute favourite that never fails to thrill. From an era where originality and talent were paramount.
Holy shite. Fecken amazing. So sorry I missed that scene. Cheers!
This is fucking great btw.
Can anyone else envision Ian Dury playing The Joker in the Batman series - had he been around long enough? RIP Ian Dury.
Thanks so much for posting.
I need a time machine...this is the most amazing and original punk ever. The band is SMOKIN' !! Thanks for posting this, Snaggletooth!
At 12:00 Ian Dury quotes from a German poem by Ludwig Hölti (1748 - 1776): "Die Luft ist blau, das Tal ist grün, die kleinen Maienglocken blühn"
If you are not from East London or Essex a lot of the lyrics might go over your head. A lot of in jokes, wordplay, innuendos and double entendres. God only knows what this German audience made of it all. But top marks for Ian Dury trying to converse with the audience.
Still this band can’t half groove and that’s a universal language
I suppose you're right about the East London or Essex bit. But as a partial apology for the German audience I'd like to point out that Ian's mashup of English and mock German is far more difficult to understand than if he had only spoken English. It doesn't quite seem to be meant to make sense at all.
i saw Ian dury and the blockheads in Gants hill odean in Essex UK in 1980 and they are still the best band 'ive ever seen.
Yer lucky bastard !!!!!!!!!
pateris 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I saw this line up a few times, never saw them do a bad gig, they were always exciting, exhausting and perfect. Ian was simply unique.
Ian. He freaking terrified half of them. Love. The whole band. -thanks for posting!
Gregory W "
I miss this guy and his music, I really do.
It was a great time to be a teenager. Their punk stuff was so cool !
IAN....❤ETERNO ...DESDE ARGENTINA
I'm 55. How the hell did i only now find this genius?! What conspiracy kept it hidden from me!?!?!!
One for the ultimate concerts list. They were always in it just for the music, an outstanding sound and band. Ian subtly winds the Germans up, due to low response.
What an effin genius ... love ye Ian ( from one effin Blockhead to another ! )
what an icy audience for the hottest concert band
They are germans, you know!
Germans in 1978!
Germans in 1937 were more lively.
HAHA !
My friend and I saw Ian around this same time in April 1978. He was opening for Lou Reed at the Oriental Theater. I remember he tried to get the audience to sing along to the song 'Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll' and my friend and I were the ONLY TWO PEOPLE singing along. He put his hand above his eyes, peered out into the audience at us, waved, and called out, 'Thanks for trying anyway!' It was one of the best shows ever, and one of the most piss poor audiences!
Thanks for putting this up mate,! I saw the Blockheads in Torquay last month, and they're the best! Still.
first quality choice !

Cheers for that....been meaning to do it myself for ages..Thank you :)
Amazing Ian & Blockheads, I listen to this and make me remember to Sumo from Argentina. It's fun & rock and madness at the same time. Rip dear Ian!!!!!
what a band!!!!!!!!!! and how crazy was Ian!! Cheers the Bheads!
Wenn man den Auftritt miterleben durfte, hat es sich bereits gelohnt geboren zu werden...🎈
Pure class. Extremely underrated.
That microphone is the Black Mamba of Rockpalast charmed by Ian's articulate prescence.
I made it to my mid-50's and never gave these guys a listen. What a maroon I am. These guys jam.
what a band and the lyrics and performance of those lyriics, unique
Drumming in this is superb. Good fun
i was lucky enough to see them live in bournmouth... had a beer afterwards with a couple of the band ....great drummer..he had a double bass drum that night ..all black...ian drury is 1 of a kind
I was lucky enough to see them play the Capitol Theater in Passaic NJ just before I moved out west. They opened for Lou Reed. I was in a near fatal motorcycle accident 3 hours before they took the stage. My friends fireman father patched up my mangled arm so I could get to the show. Ian Dury was awesome. Lou on the other hand sucked.
Hard Core man. Must have had enough pain killers to keep you sane. (or not)
I saw Lou Reed at Portchester Theater, Took stage to stall for time while Johnny Winter cured his dope sick ass. Lou was booed off the stage by all in attendance.
@@pjreynoldsa1 Wow!
Brilliant, just brilliant. Pure quality.
I was lan dury at the Palace Park in 1981 London with my brother phill and his mate Ian very good gig and a great day out one of the best gigs I ever when to.nice one
Marvellous, everyone of them. So fresh still so powerful.
Split Enz is the only other band I can think of who were ever this entertaining. These aren't just songs to be sung, they're art to be preformed.
first saw him on the stiff tour still with me. Legend
Saw Ian and the Blockheads Newcastle City Hall brilliant think around 1980
28:26 Was listening to this on my headset at work... laughed out loud. People must think I am nuts.
Ian Dury, phenomenal, charismatisch! Ein aufrichtiger ehrlicher Mensch.
I was lucky enough to see them in February 1979 in the very week that Rhythm Stick was #1. I was working at Chesters, a concert venue in Portrush in Ireland. We booked them a few months earlier, and some weeks before they were due we received their latest single from Stiff - Rhythm Stick c/w Clever Bastards. On the night my job was to look after them in the green room and they were lovely people. Ian was so friendly. I was wearing a silly hat I’d bought at a jumble sale and he signed his poster 'Bryan is a cocoon of hattie'. They were totally brilliant. His personality just filled the place. I’ve seen lots of live music and he is up there with the best. The following night they played at Queens University Belfast as part of the Rock Goes to College series.
I also saw him with the Music Students in Dartford. They were great, and Ian was Ian, but they weren’t the Blockheads.
We also had the second Be Stiff Tour at Chesters which was by far the biggest event we staged. Most of that tour was done by train but the Irish section was by road. Quite a small venue, and they turned up - a party of 52 in a coach with two artics. Dave Robinson was there, dandling a baby on his knee.
The Blockheads were:
Charlie Charles - Drums
Norman Watt-Roy - Bass
Johnny Turnbull - Guitar
Davey Payne - Sax
Mick Gallacher - Keyboards
Chaz Jankel (Guitar/Keyboards) was absent sulking
all seasoned pros and possibly the tightest rock band ever.
Oh, how great! I saw this broadcast in the late 70s on TV. I was thrilled!
And I recorded it on cassette and of course I don't have this tape anymore...
😀😁😎😅
The wisdom of your waste, best line ever!
Amazing poet raconteur, vaudeville entertainer, intelligent man about life. The best.
Wow. What a stonking gig. *Fabulous* stage exit by Dury at the end of 'Blockheads' 01.03.25 spreads his arms and falls gently off the front of the stage onto Spider Rowe (I think) who carries him away
What's the difference between Malcolm McDowell in Stanley Kubrick's 'Clockwork Orange' and Ian Dury? Answer= No behavior modification.
Never forgotten
Sound quality is not so bad eh . 78 show. How bout that.
Everything about this concert is f-ing legendary, I cannot watch it enough!
Beyond belief that this is over 40 years ago 😢
sweet Ian Dury was not a perfect saint^^ but a pure Genius of Rock
I love how he gets all weird during "I made Mary Cry" like it's nobody's business. :)
This is perfection.
Saw them in '79 at the Michael Sobel Sports Centre at the tender age of 15! Fuck, they were good!
mindblowing! huge fan of his and son & co now, huge respect to them all ❤
I was very very lucky to see them live in Rotterdam at that time. A seated concert, but not for long... What a party! What a band! What an artist!
So so so good, this needs 2 million views. It puts today's shit music to shame. The blockheads were at the time the best band in Europe. Pity about the audience, most of them had no idea what the fuck was going on.
Indeed...
què musicos,por favor. exelentes
snaggletooth thanks 4 posting this
27.43 - when the band pull the song back into time after Ian’s gone miles off script! Beautiful.
Will upload some of A Right Royal Outing 1981 soon
What a boring lot jeez !! He did an excellent set.. sooooooo entertaining 😚
The best !!!
lou reed street hassle tour in minneapolis minnesota at the state theater. did not know who ian dury and blockheads were as i was there to see lou reed. WOW. instant fan of ian dury.
