'Love Song' is the saddest, most beautiful lyric you will ever hear. I was lucky enough to see her perform it live. She was so incredibly talented, could make us laugh and cry. Goodbye Victoria, thank you for all the wonderful talent you shared with us.
Love Song is moving, indeed. I'd say my favourites are Don't Do It, Fourteen Again, Had It Up to Here (could've easily been a single - why wasn't it released?), Bastards and Northerners. Still can't believe she's not here anymore... thanks Vic for practically inventing female comedy.
I saw this show at the King’s Head theatre in Islington in 1983. Listening to it now, thinking of all that we’ve lost, brings a real lump to my throat.
@@zbr76 Played it after my mum died and it was as if she knew exactly how I'd be feeling. I agree with you, she should have had hit singles. I'm still hoping that some superstar will re-discover one of her songs like Adele did with Make You Feel My Love.
Thank you so, so much for sharing this! I got the "Lucky Bag" song book for Christmas when I was 13, Victoria Wood being my hero, and have never heard her perform any of them until today. She had so much energy - all these fabulous songs performed in one hour as well as her wonderful stand up. She is irreplaceable. Thank you Victoria for all you've given us. Xxx
This recording is from the Edinburgh Festival in August 1983. From reading the Jasper Rees biography Lucky Bag then had a 6 week run at the Kings Head in October 1983, a two week run at the Ambassadors in February 1984, and went on tours around the UK in November / December 1984 and March 1985.
I know - it says: I hope you're taking notice of the current health warnings at the moment - because they're to pissed to light their cigarettes? What is it meant to say?

It's an amazing song and she was a comedian in a million.

I've died and gone to heaven having found this on here. Thank you so much for uploading it.

"In fact she'd probably not be dead if she were alive today" - brilliant
Brilliant. Thanks so much for sharing. Laughing my head off to this!
Been looking for this for years. Tacky so much. X
Just read the latest biography of her… brought me back to this...
Thanks for putting this up
When she's imitating the "girls she'd rather not hear from" in Funny How Things she sounds remarkably like Maureen Lippmann.
love the song "bastards" its just like me
theyve got a pier its a council house on a stick howling
ive never heard this wow
Very good so funny and entertaining what a sad loss to us all bad day April 20th 2016 💐🌸
The first song is the theme tune of Wood and Walters
26:26 the queen is dead
Does anyone know what year this was released?
1983 - I should have put that in the description.
What year did she perform/tour this?

Just to let you know there are at least a couple of "skips" in the audio e.g. 22.59 jumps ahead a bit.
+DistantCousin I can't imagine why - I know it skips in this video, but in the original rip it's fine.
I know - it says: I hope you're taking notice of the current health warnings at the moment - because they're to pissed to light their cigarettes?
What is it meant to say?
Vic says "there's a good one at the moment, most doctors don't smoke, because they're too pissed to light their cigarettes".
Excellent joke! :)
The one you have labelled as love song is called Like Any Old Day
