    We really took talent like this for granted back in the 80s! Now in our 50s/60s... its obvious now how brilliant this man was & played a great part in our younger years! Pure Raw Talent.

      Me too . My girlfriend had gone , my job had gone , my drinking partner had returned to Scotland. I watched this with a bottle of Bulgarian red wine. Best evening I ever had .

    I feel that way about all of them. I'm a huge Neil Finn and it's a crime he's not more well known than he is. Same with Roddy. All these great songs and artists don't get the recognize they should, while all this crap that's out now is the most popular.

    In August of '83 Aztec Camera opened for Elvis Costello in my hometown of Madison, Wisconsin. The power went out and Roddy and the boys did an acoustic version of Oblivious. It was brilliant, and the perfect send-off for me to college (university for most of you here).

    WOW, amazing! This is one of my favorite songs, have not heard it for quite some time. The acoustic version is every bit as amazing as the full band version, a testimony to the fact that Roddy Frame is a great song writer. For anyone that does not own "High Land, Hard Rain" you might want to pick up a copy if you like this song. Thanks so much for posting!

    Roddy is simply one of the greatest songwriters these isles have ever seen. That fact that is such a great guitarist and has a fantastic voice makes the guy unmissable live.

      Surely envy provokes us to try our best or give up? It's not our master. I've read about the Johnny Marr story. Love Johnny Marr and Roddy Frame. They both love chords with that jangling open high E.

    Hi Roddy, ...Met you and Campbell after the gig at the Pavillion or Apollo (memory escapes me) around 1984. Great gig. You wore the trademark suede cowboy jacket and as I didn't have anything handy for you to autograph, I had you sign a Scottish pound note from my pocket !
    Fanatastc memory, ...and the certainly my inspiration to go on and learn more about music, ..so thank you.

    Fantastic version of a great song. The whole session is just a joy to watch. It was from Jools Holland's bbc show 'Later on in the round' (but I believe was also shown at some point as 'Songwriters circle') which also had neil Finn and Graham Gouldman. The tabs for most of Roddy's stuff can be got at doubleu3 killermontstreet(.)(net If you follow this version the tabs need a little bit tweaked but watching the vid u can make out where.

    well I don't know about nowhere near lol, Neil can play just about any instrument there is and is a fine guitarist. Many times he just holds back but I've seen him play some sick stuff on guitar as well. Anyway, this was an awesome show and great collaboration of musicians.

    November 1982? That was when I was born! I'm shamed! Roddy is a total fox, I met him at The Glee Club in Birmingham in 2005 and made a total tongue-tied tit of myself! He's a bit foxy tho had a bit of a thing for him, particularly in the video to Somewhere In My Heart. Mmm!

      I'm ashamed to say that for some reason I'd always considered Roddy Frame a bit of a lightweight back in the day and didn't pay him much attention. I've been getting back into playing guitar and started listening to some of his songs I hadn't heard. And then some others...He's a fucking genius. His album at Ronnie Scott's is brilliant. Sorry Roddy.
