Dexy’s Midnight Runners • “Come On Eileen” • LIVE 1982 [Reelin' In The Years Archive]

[@JavierDunk]

I ❤ 80's. Recorded live! Wow, the song sounds so good 👌

[@w.llawrence86]

"Live" lead vocal only. Music is playback

[@pdd60absorbed12]

Magnificent 👍

[@abraham_benson_official]

I’ve not seen this before!! Thank you!!

[@auticomics]

please keep doing these

[@TheRickluna]

I think some parts were a backing track but it's hard to tell how much.

[@abraham_benson_official]

The whole thing, except for Kevin Rowland’s singing.

[@neilgillies.]

There's also at least one live fiddle being picked up by the lead singers mic.

[@Burps___]

The best one-hit wonder novelty band of the 80s!!

[@kevincraig8257]

Aldo Nova there was a bunch of them

[@TractorBeam]

their records are fully all great you just need to listen to them.

[@abraham_benson_official]

First off, they had more than one hit. And they’re definitely not a novelty act.

[@Burps___]

@@TractorBeam whenever you have “you should” in a reply, YOU should keep your orders to yourself. You are not the pilot.

[@TractorBeam]

@@Burps___ the word "should" was not in my response.

[@MLaker221]

I feel like someone just asked for this in the comments, lol, and now here it is. Maybe that was on a different channel.. but I remember someone asking

[@maribelsalasm]

What a memory you have! It was me on the Johnny Ray video posted in this marvelous and fantastic channel. Thank you Reel❤❤❤

[@abraham_benson_official]

I also asked

[@josemarrero9878]

👌

[@Bradwick1]

The only live part of this is the vocals. No cords coming off the instruments which is required for live performance in 1982.

[@tommytwomommy]

I think at least one violin is live too

[@Bradwick1]

@@tommytwomommy Well the gain on the vocal mic is up enough that he can be heard a foot or two back so there may be some violin next to him going into the vocal mic. None of the instruments are mic'd directly.

[@tommytwomommy]

@@Bradwick1 I think that’s what it is

[@abraham_benson_official]

Only Kevin’s vocals are live

[@SamBroadway]

I've known this song for 4 decades but, I have never heard of the group or seen them before... They look like homeless people that live on a beach or in the mountains somewhere LOL

[@lifehappy183]

地味だけど、好きだった

[@60l7ISirens]

says it was performed on november 6 1982 right after the hamburg live performance the day before. I can’t find the place this was performed

[@abraham_benson_official]

It couldn’t have been. It must’ve been late June/early July because you can see Giorgio Kilkenny on bass. He left in August and then got replaced by John (Rhino) Edwards.

[@60l7ISirens]

@@abraham_benson_official ooh yeah conpletely ignored that. probably was the date it was added or something

[@abraham_benson_official]

@@60l7ISirens Where did it say that it was performed in Nov ‘82, if you don’t mind me asking?

[@60l7ISirens]

@@abraham_benson_official I went to the website they mentioned throughout the video and searched for dexys midnight runners

[@mrshankly2593]

Poor, old Johnny Ray :c

[@bluewater4430]

wots this show cos i think iv got it lol

[@bluewater4430]

it was on youtube with out the name

[@abraham_benson_official]

Wait, you have it too? Do you think you can post your copy? I’d definitely like to see it without it having watermarks and being interrupted with a blank screen in the middle of the song.

[@abraham_benson_official]

@@bluewater4430Someone said it was the Wogan show, which I guess would make sense. Could you post your copy online, please?

[@joelhammie6144]

this is live perform right?

[@jayluck8047]

Sorry, but no.

[@tommytwomommy]

Not even close

[@tommytwomommy]

The lead singers mic is live but that’s it

[@abraham_benson_official]

@@tommytwomommyWell I believe Kevin’s vocals are live, along with both Helen and Steve’s violins

[@tommytwomommy]

@@abraham_benson_official his mic seems to be picking up their violins

[@dmlevitt]
