I was and am a huge Loudo fan. I kept a special VHS tape and set it up and recorded all his songs from this show. I treasured it for many years until one of the kids taped over it. Now I can relive them all in you tube. Also got to see him live on 5 occasions. Most underrated singer songwriter of my generation. Still that keeps his ticket price down.😀
I am SO pleased for this comment. I have all the eight songs, so must post more of them, not sure how many I have up there. I was from Belfast but never taped them live, was out in bars like Robinson on Sat Nites lol. But someone on the Loudon network gave me them later.
homelessbrother . I’ll look forward to that. I have about 12 LW111 albums and now listen to all of his stuff on Spotify. I’m from Belfast too and got to see him last year when he did a concert in town.
I liked old Loudo better than I liked Jasper. even though it cost me a long time to work out Loudon's name. I'm still buying CDs from the whole Wainwright-McGarrigle clan. Thanks for posting this trip down memory lane
I'd never heard this song. Classic Loudon. The real question - are any of these George's and Susan's still together? I'd read that Loudon would sometimes vanish to London. For months, years? Drinking and carousing. He was never much of a family man. I suspect the guy next to him at the bar was his real family?

This is one of the few things on RUclips that makes me laugh out loud every time I watch it. (And, sadly, I could dedicate it to a few of my friends.)

Loudon Wainwright is the Larry David of folk music.
Or the Steve Martin, with his body language?
The reactions of "Sue" were awesome!
Every once in a while, he almost looks like a Happy Days era Ron Howard...
