I went to the Loch Lomond Bear Park festival with Jim and a few others in 1979. What a gig that was, what a line-up; Stranglers, Dr Feelgood, Dickies, UK Subs & others... We only did the first day, but it was phenomenal.
I feel soooo lucky to have seen them in Minneapolis at First Ave in '85; Psychocandy Tour obviously. Bobby G. standing cross legged behind the 'Micro Kit'........'The Hardest Walk' live; sent chills down my spine.
It’s funny... I’ve never understood why people think that 80’s pop was so good... the clothes, the vibe. He’s right... it was generally shit and it’s thanks to bands like Jesus snd Mary Chain that allowed us to escape spandau ballet and culture club...
I daresay it's mainly nostalgia. There was a lot of rubbish out then. I also never paid any attention to the main like Top 40 stuff here in NY, like Gloria Estefan or whatever. No interest. Rick Astley, etc. Who in the world nowadays listens to the likes of Hayze Fantayzee?
I saw them a few times in the 80s/90s with the Rollercoaster gig at The Apollo Theatre,Manchester, March 1992 being the best one. I may go and see them at The Royal Albert Hall, Manchester, March 2024. I like their versions of The Cramps, New Kind Of Kick and I'm In With The Out Crowd, which is awesome, as opposed to Roxy Music's , I'm In With The In Crowd
It's a somewhat London-affected East Kilbride accent. Same as Jim Kerr's "Glasgow" accent. Jim Reid's accent hasn't really changed much since 1978 / 79.
Jim Reid is the man. Thank you for all the amazing music over the years. I’m glad to see you’re still healthy and doing well
He looks terrific for whatever I assume his age is.

@brad davidson do you actually have a real life or are you just bored all the time? Take your BS somewhere else
@brad davidson i guess you're more of a William Reid fan lol
Raw deep music very edgy no assumptions
Good to watch this clip
He looks well, a lovely guy
There's something fitting and wonderful that Jim's first gig was The Rezillos. Deepest respect
Thank god they came around. There was a lot of horrible shit back then. We were dying for something new. Still listen to them today

I was there - sneaked for free.
I saw the Jesus & Mary Chain 1989 at the Manchester Free Trade Hall and they were brilliant
I remember going to the Psychocandy London album launch, great gig and a great night.
Legend...
Jim Reid is epic-cool.

Did they play with the replacements lol
Can you nip down thee and draw a star on the wall, because there isn't one? And there should be.
@@DrMadv1be you only get a star if you sell out first ave sadly...
Love this. Jim & William stayed down the road from me. :)

But 80s pop also had the cure and the Smiths There were a lot of great one hit wonders in the 80s way better than today, on

Why don't they ever play my favorite song live " coast to coast "?
Yo that's a pretty badass song. I like the william reid version
I'M WATCHING THIS BECAUSE OF JOHN ROBB INTERVIEWING . NOW HE'S A LEGEND TOO, NOT JUST JIM WHO IS ICONIC.
Where's that accent specifically ?

@@lordhelmchen1398 East Kilbride - near Glasgow - he doesn't have a strong Glasgow accent compared to some.

you were a shy little guy? no way Jim I don't believe it lol
He was always quite uncomfortable in social situations back in the late 70s.
