Can't argue with that John. Between them, those 2 defined the guitar sound for 2 decades. Also had a lot in common stylistically. And drink fucked the pair of them up.
I've got the whole TV broadcast on vhs tape, the quality is a bit poor but still priceless! they play incident in Algiers, the salmon, woman in winter, blood and soil and a few more..I'll convert it to digital format and upload it, watch this space! fantastic band, rip stuart
Fantastic band at a real high point in their career. The album "The Absolute Game" is a stoater (as we say in Scotland). Stuart Adamson without question the best of the new wave guitarists.
These guys were excellent lyricists, very intellectual stuff - check it out! Also, RJ was a fantastic dancer, like as if he was an original Wigan Casino dancer!
Skids were a cunundrum...came just after Punk explosion.....difficult to pigeon hole.....NOT Futurists/New Romantic....NOT that ridiculous term 'New Wave'.....I think they were truly Post Punk....Class
He really was the best guitarist of his generation.
i was born in Dunfermline, Scotland and The Skids used to turn up in a van at lunchtime at school and play. Top band.
Wow, serious memories
Lucky U!
The Absolute Game was a blinking excellent album!
The skids awesome, days in Europa one of my all time favourite albums.
Music that is still better than today's stuff! RIP Stuart.
God bless you Stuart...The greatest guitarist of our time..x
Stuart was the best guitarist/musician of the 70s,80s and 90s..Total class
How can that be 42 years ago ...Still sounds as good as anything out now ❤
Stuart was the best of the British punk and new wave guitarists.
+Alex Hollins SPOT ON !!!! Legend - genius - Stuart Adamson.
He wasn't even the best SCOTTISH new wave guitarist - tied with John McGeoch. But the two of them were miles ahead of the rest. Both sadly gone now.
Can't argue with that John. Between them, those 2 defined the guitar sound for 2 decades. Also had a lot in common stylistically. And drink fucked the pair of them up.
absolutely fucking brilliant, I'm living in the past but this is why
Richard jobson & Stuart adamson, what a duo they were, woman in winter being a pure classic track.
Grew up loving the skids along with the Jam.
I wanna go back to 81.
Holy shit, i think i've just found my new favorite band.
About time someone released this sort of programme on DVD........
Echoing the thought's of everyone Stuart Adamson, up there with the great guitarist of all time.

Excellent!
Amazing footage! Thanks for posting.
Awesome footage! For some reason....Stuart is reminding me a LOT(looks/clothing wise) of Paul Weller in this footage....
thanks anyway, glad to know that somewhere it still exists in this quality,
I remember watching this when it was broadcast 🙏🏼
This group is great
That singer, with his outfits and guitar as a fashion accessory: The definition of poseur.
He was one of the main songwriters.
A poseur has no substance. Jobson has it coming out of his ears.
Great !
WOW. OMG. STUART JUST AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!! 😘
Ruddy marvelous.
What a series RGTC was. Halcyon days alright.
Going to the 40th reunion gig in Oxford... Cant wait...
Awesome, don't suppose you've the whole gig, great quality. Thanks for posting this.
Always on the lookout for a fancy dress party
Cool to see Stuart playing keyboards. His last gig with The Skids?
Skids were a cunundrum...came just after Punk explosion.....difficult to pigeon hole.....NOT Futurists/New Romantic....NOT that ridiculous term 'New Wave'.....I think they were truly Post Punk....Class
1978 LIVE ....💥🔥💥💣💥💣💥🔥💥💥💥 FUCKIN BRILLIANT
@timj41
Sorry guys, this is all I recorded at the time. I am sure it will turn up on BBC4 at some point.
Cheers

Can't get Jobbo with a bloody guitar round his neck - get rid of it, man - you don't need it - Stuart Adamson is next to you for God's sake
Dude was a poseur.
Jobbo having a laugh
he supported guitar parts while Stuart on keyboards - why criticise so quick??
Any chance of anyone burning this to a dvd?
Jobbo in his Lawrence of Arabia phase, lol.
В России тоже знают и любят эту группу!!!
