How spoiled we were back in the day , so much great music everywhere this one slipped through the net, absolutely brilliant I forgot Stuartyboy invented the eighties swagger dance lol.
This is one of the best songs I've ever heard, and one of the best videos. Jobson's dancing and general stage character was the best. That bit where he tilts his hat in this vid is the best!
same here, i only disovered Big Country and the Skids this time last year when i was 16.. now they're my all-time fave bands! class song, great guitars and drums!
can still remember the fabulous album cover of The Absolute Game - i knew every word of that album and 30 years later can still sing along with this great song!! priceless!!
The Skids jumping on the New Romantic sound bandwagon which was right now taking off big time in the U.K. after being a thing down in London’s Soho district with Rusty Egan & Steve Strange having extravagant nights in their cobbled together clubs The Blitz & Billy’s … ( done the whole 70’s years also ) 1980 EVERY CHART HIT ( All In Weekly Chart Entry Order) ruclips.net/p/PLbO1DMzDZcphfjcVulJ5jsP3oHslGjCuc 1979 EVERY CHART HIT (All In Weekly Chart Entry Order) ruclips.net/p/PLbO1DMzDZcpgFJC8P6awEQ3zPR1k07esz NEW ROMANTIC MUSIC ( 79’80’81’) ruclips.net/p/PLbO1DMzDZcpj03NHpKG7HwOQo-0cVKqgk
Russell is in the white polo shirt and lilac bags on the left of screen playing a keyboard, the bass guitar wasn’t prominent in this track. And yes this was a dubbed video so no leads, cables, microphones or amps were required. If you can get hold of online or actual media of the time you’d see similar photos of him and the rest of the band in the very same clothes as they’d probably rolled stills photos into the days’ shooting. The setup for Richard, Stuart and Mike on drums is as seen on their 1980 tour also featured on a “Rock goes to College” show available on YT. Unfortunately this track was not played live, some of those from the extra LP that came with “The Absolute Game”, like “Incident in Algiers”were played.
Thanks for putting this up Sham 64.5, Great song, great band. As a plukie youth, I always wanted to be able to dance like Jobson, now I see this video again - I still do!

Still listening in 24, bloody best band ever
Even though I am only familiar with a couple of songs through RUclips, I'm definitely starting to like The Skids just as much as I like Big Country.
First Single I ever Bought!

Jobbo rocking the CB Fry look
One of there best saw them live in recent times didn't play this one but hey still amazing to see

Best album they did in my opinion though many favour Days in Europa.
Great song. Cheers.

I watched this. Hoping to see Russell Webb. But did not

@@Mudge07 Thanking you my son and I were involved with Russell. When he was a PARENT CHILD ADVISOR I WAS FIND OF HIM I NOT SEEN HIM. SINCE .
cool another numanoid replicas79
Joy Division and Sex Pistols stole it all from these NED Highlander unique new wavers. DUH!
Into the Valley is of course godlike. But everyone forgets this utter classic
the two best frontmen in music were for me freddie mercury and richard jobson guitariststs brian may and stuart adamson .
Thanks for putting this up Sham 64.5, Great song, great band.

once met stuart and bruce watson in johnsons in dunfy that was fun
This tune is just great love it
They really knew how to do 'epic'.
listen to the god of that era!Gary Numan
