Too right Christopher.I have been a fan since Sabre Dance with Love Sculpture and then I hear you knocking.I am 61 now and have all his stuff on vinyl.Saw him live in Glasgow in 1980 with his original band Rockpile. The times when you had to be able to play an instrument to be in a band,Not like Today,Lol.Keep in touch mate if You feel the sameCheers Mat,Stay safe,Jim from Glasgow.
Saw Dave Edmunds live at First Avenue, in Minneapolis, back in the day. He had Billy Bremner on guitar with him. Man, Dave and the boys rocked the place! It remains, to this day, the best rock and roll show, I have ever been to!
A very Happy 72nd Birthday Nicholas Drain Lowe 24-03-49, Walton-on-Thames, Surrey.. So talented... Singer, writer and producer. I love Rockpile.. Many more Nick.. Cheers. (hppy brthdy Nena too)
Great record Dave. Sounds as good today as when it was made. You really mafe of the best records ever. Thank you for enriching my life with your music.
Always Great to See. I went to Scotland/London as a teen to visit my my moms roots, second night in town the young guy i met coming off the plane invited me to Glasgow to dance, who was the band, Dave Edmunds and Rockpile oh what a night. Only taken with the sadness of Bonzo's passing the day before.
This Dave beauty came out in 1977. ... Jeff Lynne & ELO *must* have known about this beat when they created "Rock 'n' Roll Is King" in 1983(!). 🤔 ..Sound crazy similar !
@@goodun2974 absolutely, chuck "borrowed" Johnny B good from an old blues number from the 20's I think, led zep, whole lotta love was a modified old delta blues, you could go on
@@bonkeydollocks1879 , and just to be clear, I am a Dave Edmund's fan! "Borrowing" is cool when it's done this well, by a guy who has always given props and credit to his heroes and influences. By the way, my wife and I saw Tab Benoit play a couple weeks ago, he played Chuck Berrys "Oh Louisiana", and "Blues Is a Feeling" by Cyril Neville and Taj Mahal. Tab is the real deal, high energy, no frills blues and rock, excellent guitarist, singer and songwriter. 1 battered guitar, 2 combo amps, and a cord. No pedals or effects. Just bass and drums, a real power trio! Go see him if you can!
Yeah, and it looks as tho' he's playing his signature Peavey tele. I wish he'd taken a lead. Maybe he did in the actual performance, but this video seems to have ended abruptly, and Dave's vocals are not synched to the video toward the end of the video.
underrated by whom? Not, come on he is rated! Top guitarist. Top singer. And still up here rocking us with songs like this. More popular than whom? Not many more guys in my book. I saw him perform once in Chicago, mainly doing his own acoustic. Wish he was still releasing hits or covers.
Massively underated. One of my favourite songs is 'Crawling from the Wreckage', oh, and then there's 'Girls Talk'. And do people still not rate him as a song witer and performer? WTFN?
Dave is from Cardiff ( Tin Street in Splott)and was originally in a group called The Raiders, and we would go and watch them playing at the Kennard Rooms in Roath in 1966/67 ( which is still there over 55 years later), the group morphed into Love Sculpture and had a top 10 hit with Sabre Dance. Dave then went solo and the rest is history, a true rock and roller and superstar guitarist

La Bamba on the Bone! I actually auditioned for the position before he joined the Asbury Jukes, but was nowhere good enough. Hey, I could dream, right?
I recently discovered Dave Edmunds! Better late than never i guess! He's amazing!!!
I was lucky enough to see Dave live and people believe What you heard about Dave because he WAS THAT DAMN GOOD
You never can tell
Spot on!
Dave Edmunds was a mega musician when I was a kid. I'm 60 now , the man's a legend.

I like my songs better

You guys are just pups .....
Yeah Chris.
You got my vote.
I'm 59 now.
Dave was the first rocking
Tunes I latched onto.
Before feelgood.
Dave is pure RocknRoll! 🏴
Dave Edmunds should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
That's ridiculous, pg.
@@chipgaasche4933 Yeah, because Dave is better than that...
@@jamesedwards2237 better than WHAT?
@@chipgaasche4933 Than the Hall... It takes them forever to recognize the artists who should be honored.
@@jamesedwards2237 well...I'd agree at least one-third of those in it should NOT be!!
This guy is truly Rock N Roll so underrated...and talented..
Dave Edmunds, a TOTALLY underrated performer, he should be more popular.
he told me the other day...and I agree with him!
Agree
His a legend - for me.
He was as big as he wanted to be ,
John Lennon Loved one of his songs,he said was oone of his favorites.
Wow ...Steve Cropper pops up too. Two legends for the price of one
I think the trombone player is LaBamba from the Max Weinberg 7.
Do not forget Phil Chen in bass, another legend
The most underrated performer in the history of pop music!!
DITTO
But highly rated and respected in the music industry. He produces as well as performs. Hear his Alive & Pickin' album. Brilliant stuff.
Sue: ditto,ditto ,ditto and 10,000 more dittos thrown in.Everytime he plays he's just pure rnroll.
Not in his day. He was all over the radio and even on MTV back in the early 80s before they played MJ and cRap "music"

What a ridiculously talented player! Just utterly brilliant stuff as ever. Always surrounded by great players. Fantastic.
Years since last heard him, really brilliant, must update my music library with him. He and Nick Lowe were a good combination.
Saw Dave Edmunds live at First Avenue, in Minneapolis, back in the day. He had Billy Bremner on guitar with him. Man, Dave and the boys rocked the place! It remains, to this day, the best rock and roll show, I have ever been to!
True great performer and musìcan a true and true rock and roller Keep rockin Dave

My hubby, was a Cardiff boy, who was a mate of Dave's. Hubby used to have a pint, with his Dad 🍺👍
A brilliant performance from Dave Edmunds . We need more like him in the music industry .
@Dave Edmunds Hello Dave . Am doing mighty fine thanks , & hope you're doing mighty fine too . Thanks for the reply , & many more thanks for the music
Love this song😘❤️❤️
A great song ,a great performer ,sadly under rated.
A real fantastic rocker of a song, well done Dave and pals!
Best show ever at the Old Waldorf in SF. Tons of heavy hitters from the local músic scene on hand: all had their heads blown off by Dave & band.
Loved the Waldorf. Seen many shows there.
As good today as it ever will be. This mjusic makes me really happy. Care to dance, anyone?
Most underrated performer of the 7,0s - this was real Chuck Berry stuff!!- great!!
Well, not to split hairs, but this was real Nick Lowe stuff.....
Dave Edmunds is a legend. Pure class and I'd love to see him play live as i never have. Come on Dave.....
He retired in 2017.
@@mbogucci1 I think I've missed out there.
I once saw him guest at a Joe Brown gig. He played Mozart's Allegro plus Girls Talk and an instrumental of Lady Madonna.
@@PaulBarry. Yeah, me too. Bummer!
Dave has always been my idol and his music is so rocky.
OMG Dave. Unbelievable guitarist.
Love Hear you knocking, takes me back to the seventies. Look him up playing with George Harrison and Carl Perkins! Amazing !
Superb and what a hairstyle....envious.
I heard he was not well and stopped Turing hope he gets better and keep rocking cheers Dave you are the best
Yeah, I believe he retired in 2017.
Thank you so much for Sharing ' and GOD BLESS US
Love seeing two original members of the Miami Horns backing him up!
Remember Dave Edmunds in Love Sculpture in the 60’s!
Outstanding performer,producer,musician
Real great rock-and-roller. The STAR!
Brilliant.Words do not say more more about a great bunch of lads from Wales.
Great song!
Dave Edmunds is absolute class !!
Such a great song and performer.

Yup. That’s me. I was the bride who used to rock and roll.
Dave this is a very nice song, sung very well. Bring me memories. Where R you now. Keep safe.
First gig I went to, sometime around 1977. Edinburgh Odeon with Dave and Nick Lowe :)
I love the way he sounds... He looked so good here. ❤❤❤
Great to hear this again
Two drummers like clockwork. Fantastic.
one of the true greats
Dave Edmunds rocks, great version. :-)

I like Nick Lowe's version a little bit better. Especially the guitar sound through out the song.
@@wayneodell3539the best versions were live recordings with Rockpile. This and Nick's versions are too slow, IMO.
Proper rock N roll, done a lot of Bopping to this and when I get the chance I still do. brilliant.
Awesome song I always loved this song very amazing
followed dave forever his music i mean fabulous love his sty;e rockabilly
Good boogie woogie rock and roll Lord have mercy😊

I think you will find The Move did Califonia Man in 72 I believe. Jeff Lyne was in the band then. So yes he would have know
Nobody sings this song as good as Dave does.
A great original song that you would find on a jukebox
At Town and Country Club C86.... Great gig from I can remember x
The best Chuck Berry song that wasn't written by Chuck Berry.
It was definitely ripped off from C'est la vie!
He is a massive chuck Berry fan, can play just like him.
He is just playing homage

Ain't that Steve Cropper over there, supporting good ol. Dave Edmubds? F-A-B and timeless....Dave's one of the greatest U r & r giants
Yes it is S C.
Ran into Steve Cropper at a restaurant in Nashville...I was too starstruck to say anything...I mean, Steve. Fuc*ing. Cropper.

He and Nick Lowe, Stray Cats gave new meaning to Rockabilly.
A "Secret Smile" says a whole lot!!
Of course Dave is fantastic, he comes from WALES . That’s a good reason for being great.
I didn't know he was Welsh until a couple of years ago.
He did USA-style rock & roll so well that I assumed he was American. Record sales there: almost nothing. Why? Perhaps the record companies thought Bob Seger had the genre covered.
Rock On cousin Dave
steve cropper on rhythm guitar...now thats star power.
You will never get a problem with the Colonel in your defence line! :-)
A great version by dave did shaking Steven's ever record that he should also I heard a version by an irish band that was good
Colonel cropper dosent play for just anyone. ! Awesome. ❤
SEEN ROCKPILE ONCE AND DAVE WITH RINGO'S ALL STAR IN LOUISVILLE ON THE FRONT ROW.
I understand, but my wounds are fresher, the love of my life in and my reason for being for 47 years, I need MK and Eric Clapton, Wonderful Tonight😅
Gorgeous dave❤❤
Love it...the way Rockin’ Roll should be played. Reminiscent of Chuck Berry’s style...
in particular Chuck Berry's hit "You Never Can Tell".
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
gtrat stuff rock n roll.
Dave is what you call, A NATURAL
Very underrated!!!
Nice music for my body and soul!
Hello Yvonne..
What a rocker
Southside Johnny’s brass section, La Bamba and The Hubcaps, too....👍
When Johnny Lyon had a great band. Remember the Drummer Kenny “Mr. Popeye” Pentafallo?
@@likeitbuzzed6239 On the first two albums…👍👍.
Crawling from the wreckage !
Great tune. Wish that had happened to me. Still driving wrecks!
Pure raw rock n roll my kinda music
Proper rock ,n roll. None of the crap called rock music these days. I know...I was a War Baby!
SUPER
GOOD VOICE FOR ROCK..GO DAVE GO.
Good rock lives forever
La Bamba on the Bone! I actually auditioned for the position before he joined the Asbury Jukes, but was nowhere good enough. Hey, I could dream, right?
But why does your name sound familiar music wise?
Pub rock rules!
with Steve Cropper !!
Please record again and give us more of your great playing singing and songs
Super Dave grand chanteur de rockabilly
Had he been really serious about being a celeb rock star he'd be a lot better known.
I'm glad he fell into my orbit!
