How brilliant is this arrangement? With the fabulous horns covering the guitar parts !! And of course Dave kills it, sounding as great vocally as he did on the original. He is a super talented man !!
I was 15 years old when the song was released it was a classic video which I first watched 6 years ago on UA-cam it was a classic song I wish we could go back to the days of the 1970.s
I was so fortunate to have caught a Dave Edmunds live show in the late eighties. He tore the house down! I've seen just about everyrone in concert, and Dave Edmunds stands as one of my favorites. The guy respects the craft, and I hope he continues to perform until he'a 100.
@@mithrilmoon1 Unfortunately, with the arrival of Thatcher, presaging Reagan's Presidency, and their joint neoliberal Consumoron "society" you have to say '79 was a mixed blessing. They set the tone for the shitty socio-political environment we're in now (eg. "Greed is Good"; NuLabour: My greatest achievement: Thatcher)...which is a *great* shame, as I agree, the music was great, New Wave. Music full of quirky personality and character, viewed and heard on unifying media...
Dave sounds great here. And this song really deserves the royal treatment it is getting here with the back-up singers and the horns and all. Brilliant!
Here I am a year later from my last post & find myself back listening to this simply because it’s absolute pure QUALITY!!!…..other artists take note on how it should be done !!!!!!!!
@Dave Edmunds Dave, thank you for taking the time to leave this comment. I feel like I've been hit by a Rockpile...in the best way. Be well and thanks again.
I've always been a fan of his musicianship and standards. Dave's responsible for some great music since the late 60's or early 70's. He's also been responsible for the Carl Perkins and Friends concert. Thanks Dave!
I was at an unnanounced Dave Edmunds concert at my college in August 1982. He was huge, of course, with the college crowd in those days, but by the time word got out, half the concert was over! More importantly, I sat at the foot of the two-foot high stage on the grass of the quad. Happy times!
I´m 70, and I have seen quite some concerts in my life. But I never managed to see a Dave Edmunds concert. Now he´s retired. Now I know why leaves turn brown in autumn!
Wow this was 12 years ago but he was still sounding great. I saw him in the mid 80s in a bar/small club - One of the best shows I have ever seen. Just an amazing talent.
Just imagine if Gilson Lavis and jools Holland had played with Dave in the 70's??? Gilson is the steadiest rock in the world - hittin' never missin'... And Dave still Rocks!! Hey Geoff- check out your bro - he's still boogieing with the best of 'em man!! Mikey xxx
@Steve Sturges Yes Gilson Lavis who played I think on the first nine Squeeze albums but you might want to check that. I seem to remember Elvis’s drummer from The Attractions, another great drummer, Pete Thomas playing on Some Fantastic Place. Gilson now tours with Jools but also an impressive artist I seem to remember from an old Modern Drummer article and he has had exhibitions so multi-talented.
I love Dave Edmonds. Got this on 7 inch vynal. Have played it again for the first time in, so many years. (just bought a new player) Great to hear it again. Great to see him on tv again too! Thanks for posting, enjoyed watching.
Dave Edmunds should be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
with Billy Bremner and Mickey Gee
He's Not?!?!
@@jeffreyrausa2098 Nope. So many lame-ass acts in it. I don't vote for it anymore.
No doubt about it
The R&R HOF is now a joke.
Such a great melody,....
Brilliant, so crisp, all these years later. He even sings every backup vocal lyrics. Passionate and talented. RRHF he deserves.
The RRHF is a joke..

One of those tracks that still sounds superb 40 years on. Loved it then and now. Never tire of hearing it . A great era to be Alive
Has not lost an ounce of talent and ability in 30 years. Impressive performance.
They don't make 'em like Dave Edmund's anymore..a true musician and a star :-)
very true an amazing song they don't make songs like this anymore
@@davinadavis4930 seriously, he's not? Say more about the HOF than it does about Dave Edmunds, that's for sure.
I was shocked how good he sounds 30 years on from the record.
Make that 40
He’s a tone down
A instead of B
He knows to suit his changing voice, and he sounds fantastic
Plus another few years . It's timeless.
Very clearly dropped the pitch: the capo is a dead give-away of that.
Brilliant…..
dave may be getting older but the voice is as strong as ever ! the best song costello ever wrote
I love all versions of this song, but Dave's voice just fits it like a glove.
Fantastic. His voice is great live - no blips at all. I love this song and adore this version. Brilliant artist.
His live voice is amazing
I remember this track, just rediscovered and I love it more now than then, pure fun and excitement ♥️
You can't stop great music. It NEVER gets old
Dave Edmunds is so freakin talented!!! He just loves to perform and it shows in every performance! ☮️🖖🏽
Dave Edmunds....Nick Lowe.....Billy Bremner.......Terry Williams.......ROCKPILE. Such a great band
One of the best bands ever!
@@annaxxx Gotta agree with you there they are all at the top of their game for sure Love them all !!

Who's here in 2024?
Me. I love this song :)
OMG he still sounds and plays and looks as good as he did when he first started out.
oh please can we turn back the clock........79 was an awesome year
I agree! The 21st Century is full of strife and struggle and mega rich ejits destroying peoples' lives. '79 was amazing x
Wasn’t it ‘78?

DAVE!!! You always kill it every time. You sir are a legend.
It's so good,,real music Dave Edmunds is brilliant and watching Annie Lennox having a good time and as sublime artist herself shows how good this is
What a way to bring down the house. That's amazing
Love the glance at 1.14 at jools Holland as if to say yes i've still got it ! Gilson lavis loving it too brilliant
This guy is a legend, fantastic good old rock.
Tha man can rock! Thanks for all the years Dave. You have entertained millions with your pipes and unique style.
Dave is so underrated
Madonna58 Terminiello or overrated...
Yes also very much as a guitarist
not by his peers he isn't
Love it Dave and loved it when it was issued. Many thanks. September, 2023.
This is six years ago, but it's great to see Dave Edmunds again. He's been reclusive.
wow that bring back some fantastic memoires for me .a great song.
Annie Lennox from my home city and Chris Difford from my first musical love.....I'm almost in tears.
Here I am a year later from my last post & find myself back listening to this simply because it’s absolute pure QUALITY!!!…..other artists take note on how it should be done !!!!!!!!
Rockpile is one of my all time favorite bands!
That's Chris Difford and Annie Lennox jamming out and singing along to Dave Edmonds…that is very cool.
Simply a MASTERPIECE of his Song by a BRILLIANT Artiste ..... {{ And WHAT a Band too ...!!!! }}
Elvis Costello's song?
Never Knew that Steven ..
Always thought it was Dave's ..
Elvis wrote it and recorded it on his album 'get happy' but of course Dave made a great hit of it.
I love seeing Gilson Lavis drumming on this song!
I didn't realize what a great drummer until I saw this.
First thing that caught my ear. What a drummer!
I know what a joy it is having a good drummer in the band!
This was his era. Late 70’s & 80’s with Squeeze .... he was just the best!
@@davidsutherland7737 Yes! Saw Squeeze in concert three times and he sounded great every time. The whole band did.
Dave's voice sounds amazing, as always
Just brilliant
This will be on the heavy rotation list on my digital headstone. Thanks Dave and Thanks to neveratime.
@Dave Edmunds Dave, thank you for taking the time to leave this comment. I feel like I've been hit by a Rockpile...in the best way. Be well and thanks again.
Dave Edmunds = legend. I also like the couple dancing to this song.
I've always been a fan of his musicianship and standards. Dave's responsible for some great music since the late 60's or early 70's. He's also been responsible for the Carl Perkins and Friends concert. Thanks Dave!
He also produced fellow Canadien k.d. Lang's first release.
Danke Dave! Wir werden alle nicht jünger. So it is!
Always loved this song growing up in the 70’s was a time of stress free living…..
One of my all time favs. Brilliant live version. Thanks
still great 29 years after the original !!
I agree 100% with all that’s been said here. I think you’re wonderful Dave Edmunds…God bless you 🥰
He is retired now which it's too bad only saw him once which was at the Kingsworld theatre when he was playing in Ringo's All Star Band.
What a great performance. Discovering these nuggets is the cool thing about Sirius and UA-cam.
This is rock`n`roll with a heart, Dave forever!!!!
MR DAVE EDMUNDS IS THE TOP! LOVE HIM AND HIS MUSIC BIG BIG FAN ME!
Full respect to Costello for writing and singing this song but this is my favourite version. Linda was pretty cool aswell
I was at an unnanounced Dave Edmunds concert at my college in August 1982. He was huge, of course, with the college crowd in those days, but by the time word got out, half the concert was over! More importantly, I sat at the foot of the two-foot high stage on the grass of the quad. Happy times!

Amazing song I was only 5 when it was first released Dave is amazing live here more than I can say for a loyalty of modern pop stars now
this is the first single i ever bought and i still have it
How many times do we need to thank a great musician lyricist for their work. I dunno from 79.
Are you talking about Elvis Costello with your comment?
You do realize that this song was written by Elvis Costello, right?
Yeah! Rock On Dave!!! ...And that drummer!!!
WOW - amazing!!! Such a great song back then, and still!!! Thanks for posting!
Fabulous performance Dave, as always mate! Love this.
I had this 45.. Its still popular. Good stuff.
Dave Edmunds= Rock & Roll machine!
Good rendition of his classic,. Love them horns!
Wow this was 12 years ago but he was still sounding great. I saw him in the mid 80s in a bar/small club - One of the best shows I have ever seen. Just an amazing talent.
Quite a production. The drummer was nailing i! No one sleeping in this band. Great tune of course.
Takes me back. I love this.
God love Dave Edmunds! Keep on rockin'
A singer who has given me great listening all my life F.D.
Dave, you've passed the audition ! Brilliant !!!!
Brilliant! Annie Lennox was loving it in the audience too!
10/10. Excellent, as all Jools and his band collaborations always are!
Just imagine if Gilson Lavis and jools Holland had played with Dave in the 70's??? Gilson is the steadiest rock in the world - hittin' never missin'... And Dave still Rocks!! Hey Geoff- check out your bro - he's still boogieing with the best of 'em man!! Mikey xxx
This is one of the best videos I have watched. Dave Edmunds is great!
The joy on the faces of Annie Lennox and Chris Difford
Brilliant. Well done Dave. Proper music. And what a drummer is Gilson!!!
I brought this single in 1979,and considering that was over 40 yrs ago,Dave dosent Sound any different,a legend
This is one of favorite videos,I love the hell out this performance and jesus what a band
That is so friggin good - I love the song & the horns added is just the best. Thank you for posting it.
Such a clear live voice
Saw rockpile when this was in the charts back in 1979 in Portsmouth,brilliant.
How generous of Elvis to hand this gem over. Gilson, ex Squeeze, rocking it on the drums
Wondered who that was, excellent drummer

@@misfit2022 Thanks for that, yes, truly multitalented fellow...!
Always been a Dave Edmunds fan. Great artist!
Another class Welshman. Keep the Dragon flying Dave. Fab.
Fantastic, keep rock alive Dave.
still sounds good. Unusual voice Ive always thought.
Sounds just the same as ever brilliant ❤❤love dave❤❤
Wow this takes me back to about 1979 and listening to the Repeat When Necessary LP through my dads headphones and hifi ✌️
40 years later this guy is superb
Still lookin' and soundin' good.
Great to see Dave has still got it!!!!!!
I love Dave Edmonds. Got this on 7 inch vynal. Have played it again for the first time in, so many years. (just bought a new player) Great to hear it again. Great to see him on tv again too! Thanks for posting, enjoyed watching.
Amazing. Love Dave xxx
