@@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...
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.
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'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!
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.
@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 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!
It's really scary that this was nine years ago ! I remember watching it and thought it was about four years ago ! The older I get the faster the years go 41 now slow down time !
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.
Has not lost an ounce of talent and ability in 30 years. Impressive performance.
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..
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.
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
Dave Edmunds is so freakin talented!!! He just loves to perform and it shows in every performance! ☮️🖖🏽
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 ♥️
I love all versions of this song, but Dave's voice just fits it like a glove.
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
You can't stop great music. It NEVER gets old
Dave Edmunds, one of the best ever.
Agreexx
OMG he still sounds and plays and looks as good as he did when he first started out.
Dave is so underrated
Madonna58 Terminiello or overrated...
Yes also very much as a guitarist
not by his peers he isn't
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 Edmunds
What a great bloke
He is a great guitar player and producer!
DAVE!!! You always kill it every time. You sir are a legend.
This is six years ago, but it's great to see Dave Edmunds again. He's been reclusive.
Tha man can rock! Thanks for all the years Dave. You have entertained millions with your pipes and unique style.
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

He has a great live voice
Who's here in 2024?
Me. I love this song :)
That's Chris Difford and Annie Lennox jamming out and singing along to Dave Edmonds…that is very cool.
wow that bring back some fantastic memoires for me .a great song.
this is the first single i ever bought and i still have it
One of my favourite songs love this
Dave's voice sounds amazing, as always
I agree 100% with all that’s been said here. I think you’re wonderful Dave Edmunds…God bless you 🥰
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
What a great performance. Discovering these nuggets is the cool thing about Sirius and UA-cam.
Full respect to Costello for writing and singing this song but this is my favourite version. Linda was pretty cool aswell
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

He also produced fellow Canadien k.d. Lang's first release.

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.
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.
Such a clear live voice
Still lookin' and soundin' good.
DAVE ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE S 👍
What a way to bring down the house. That's amazing
The joy on the faces of Annie Lennox and Chris Difford
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.
One of my heroes; and just the perfect pop song
Rockpile is one of my all time favorite bands!
Fantastic, keep rock alive Dave.
WOW - amazing!!! Such a great song back then, and still!!! Thanks for posting!
Amazing. Love Dave xxx
Great love Dave Edmund's and nick Lowe
Always got those two mixed up. Think cruel to be kind was out in summer of 79 as well. Both great. Love your name wendy mudkins 😉
A singer who has given me great listening all my life F.D.
Love it Dave and loved it when it was issued. Many thanks. September, 2023.
Happy birthday to the legendary Dave Edmunds.

Brilliant! Annie Lennox was loving it in the audience too!
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!
Stunning..... One the greats
10/10. Excellent, as all Jools and his band collaborations always are!
What a fantastic band timeless i would say........
Brilliant. Well done Dave. Proper music. And what a drummer is Gilson!!!
Absolutely amazing. Legend.
IMPOSSIBLE to be so perfect. But then we are talking about a PROFESSIONAL PERFORMER. LIVE.
Such a great melody,....
Always been a Dave Edmunds fan. Great artist!
This is one of the best videos I have watched. Dave Edmunds is great!
Great to see Dave has still got it!!!!!!
I brought this single in 1979,and considering that was over 40 yrs ago,Dave dosent Sound any different,a legend
The voice is still there!
Saw rockpile when this was in the charts back in 1979 in Portsmouth,brilliant.
❤❤❤ love you Dave
Man, I love Dave Edmunds! Great, great song!❤
Danke Dave! Wir werden alle nicht jünger. So it is!
I miss this guy ... AND Rockpile
It's really scary that this was nine years ago ! I remember watching it and thought it was about four years ago ! The older I get the faster the years go 41 now slow down time !
Wow! This is terrific.
Dave is the man, the king. Long live Dave Edmunds.
Dave, you've passed the audition ! Brilliant !!!!
Wonderful. Thank you:)
It's been a long time since Dave played with the Heartbeats at The Pelican Night Club on Barry Island - I think 1960/61. Anyone else remember?
Jaysus!!! Lovely.
As good as ever. What a talent.
Great song anytime he sings it!
