Too right Christopher.I have been a fan since Sabre Dance with Love Sculpture and then I hear you knocking.I am 61 now and have all his stuff on vinyl.Saw him live in Glasgow in 1980 with his original band Rockpile. The times when you had to be able to play an instrument to be in a band,Not like Today,Lol.Keep in touch mate if You feel the sameCheers Mat,Stay safe,Jim from Glasgow.
I didn't know he was Welsh until a couple of years ago. He did USA-style rock & roll so well that I assumed he was American. Record sales there: almost nothing. Why? Perhaps the record companies thought Bob Seger had the genre covered.
@@goodun2974 absolutely, chuck "borrowed" Johnny B good from an old blues number from the 20's I think, led zep, whole lotta love was a modified old delta blues, you could go on
@@bonkeydollocks1879 , and just to be clear, I am a Dave Edmund's fan! "Borrowing" is cool when it's done this well, by a guy who has always given props and credit to his heroes and influences. By the way, my wife and I saw Tab Benoit play a couple weeks ago, he played Chuck Berrys "Oh Louisiana", and "Blues Is a Feeling" by Cyril Neville and Taj Mahal. Tab is the real deal, high energy, no frills blues and rock, excellent guitarist, singer and songwriter. 1 battered guitar, 2 combo amps, and a cord. No pedals or effects. Just bass and drums, a real power trio! Go see him if you can!

Saw Dave Edmunds live at First Avenue, in Minneapolis, back in the day. He had Billy Bremner on guitar with him. Man, Dave and the boys rocked the place! It remains, to this day, the best rock and roll show, I have ever been to!
A very Happy 72nd Birthday Nicholas Drain Lowe 24-03-49, Walton-on-Thames, Surrey.. So talented... Singer, writer and producer. I love Rockpile.. Many more Nick.. Cheers. (hppy brthdy Nena too)
Great record Dave. Sounds as good today as when it was made. You really mafe of the best records ever. Thank you for enriching my life with your music.
This Dave beauty came out in 1977. ... Jeff Lynne & ELO *must* have known about this beat when they created "Rock 'n' Roll Is King" in 1983(!). 🤔 ..Sound crazy similar !
Dave Edmunds is a brilliant guitarist and stellar singer. This video is not. Obviously, the audio and the video visuals do not sync up with the performance. Ugh to see Dave Edmunds move his mouth to sing and be out of sync with the music being played. He deserves a lot better presentation on youtube than this. Still, thanks to Roger for posting this.
Unfortunately when converting from my VHS the soundtrack lagged on this recording it has happened on a couple of my conversions but ok on the majority. I no longer have the VHS master to retry..
La Bamba on the Bone! I actually auditioned for the position before he joined the Asbury Jukes, but was nowhere good enough. Hey, I could dream, right?
Yeah, and it looks as tho' he's playing his signature Peavey tele. I wish he'd taken a lead. Maybe he did in the actual performance, but this video seems to have ended abruptly, and Dave's vocals are not synched to the video toward the end of the video.
Massively underated. One of my favourite songs is 'Crawling from the Wreckage', oh, and then there's 'Girls Talk'. And do people still not rate him as a song witer and performer? WTFN?
underrated by whom? Not, come on he is rated! Top guitarist. Top singer. And still up here rocking us with songs like this. More popular than whom? Not many more guys in my book. I saw him perform once in Chicago, mainly doing his own acoustic. Wish he was still releasing hits or covers.
Does anybody know who the backing musicians were (drummers, horns, keyboard)? I spotted Steve Cropper playing rhythm guitar. The rest I can't pick, though the sax player (camera right) I've seen before.
I. Ordered an album of his la Summer. How many performers take the time to autograph an said. Album and out of the clear blue sign it to me and say thanks? Unsolicited yet! I'm impressed.
Dave is from Cardiff ( Tin Street in Splott)and was originally in a group called The Raiders, and we would go and watch them playing at the Kennard Rooms in Roath in 1966/67 ( which is still there over 55 years later), the group morphed into Love Sculpture and had a top 10 hit with Sabre Dance. Dave then went solo and the rest is history, a true rock and roller and superstar guitarist
Dave is pure RocknRoll! 🏴
Dave Edmunds was a mega musician when I was a kid. I'm 60 now , the man's a legend.

I like my songs better
wanna hear them
@@jimbaird4651 60 , 61 ..... ???
You guys are just pups .....
Yeah Chris.
You got my vote.
I'm 59 now.
Dave was the first rocking
Tunes I latched onto.
Before feelgood.
This is how you do Rock n Roll. The very best. Rock on Dave!!
What a ridiculously talented player! Just utterly brilliant stuff as ever. Always surrounded by great players. Fantastic.
I was lucky enough to see Dave live and people believe What you heard about Dave because he WAS THAT DAMN GOOD
You never can tell
Spot on!
Wow ...Steve Cropper pops up too. Two legends for the price of one
I think the trombone player is LaBamba from the Max Weinberg 7.
Do not forget Phil Chen in bass, another legend
Dave Edmunds should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
That's ridiculous, pg.
@@chipgaasche4933 Yeah, because Dave is better than that...
@@jamesedwards2237 better than WHAT?
@@chipgaasche4933 Than the Hall... It takes them forever to recognize the artists who should be honored.
@@jamesedwards2237 well...I'd agree at least one-third of those in it should NOT be!!
This guy is truly Rock N Roll so underrated...and talented..
Dave Edmunds, a TOTALLY underrated performer, he should be more popular.
he told me the other day...and I agree with him!
Agree
His a legend - for me.
He was as big as he wanted to be ,
John Lennon Loved one of his songs,he said was oone of his favorites.
Of course Dave is fantastic, he comes from WALES . That’s a good reason for being great.
I didn't know he was Welsh until a couple of years ago.
He did USA-style rock & roll so well that I assumed he was American. Record sales there: almost nothing. Why? Perhaps the record companies thought Bob Seger had the genre covered.
The most underrated performer in the history of pop music!!
DITTO
But highly rated and respected in the music industry. He produces as well as performs. Hear his Alive & Pickin' album. Brilliant stuff.
Sue: ditto,ditto ,ditto and 10,000 more dittos thrown in.Everytime he plays he's just pure rnroll.
Not in his day. He was all over the radio and even on MTV back in the early 80s before they played MJ and cRap "music"

I recently discovered Dave Edmunds! Better late than never i guess! He's amazing!!!
Enjoy catching up! There's no-one quite like him.
The best Chuck Berry song that wasn't written by Chuck Berry.
It was definitely ripped off from C'est la vie!
He is a massive chuck Berry fan, can play just like him.
He is just playing homage

I am here and I appreciate this music. Wish I'd heard about it before - but hey, better late than never.
Absolutely brilliant.
Dave had a massive influence on the strays cats shakin stevens. Rockpile.
Pure rock n roll.
Nice when you can get Steve Cropper to play rhythm!
Yeah!! I'll say - he's a gun on guitar
I'd love to hear his stuff isolated in this tune !
Hey, didn't Steve Cropper do a pretty hot guitar solo on one of Rod Stewart's hits?
Charlotte McCabe Sailing and he co wrote the bside Stone Cold Sober

Great record Dave. Sounds as good today as when it was made. You really mafe of the best records ever. Thank you for enriching my life with your music.
Yup. That’s me. I was the bride who used to rock and roll.
So was I! ❤
Me too!
Great beat , good lyrics . A classic !
fantastic talent what a performer
My hubby, was a Cardiff boy, who was a mate of Dave's. Hubby used to have a pint, with his Dad 🍺👍
Dave has always been my idol and his music is so rocky.
S M O K I N' !!!!!!!! Tearing the roof off classic Dave!!

I think you will find The Move did Califonia Man in 72 I believe. Jeff Lyne was in the band then. So yes he would have know
Best show ever at the Old Waldorf in SF. Tons of heavy hitters from the local músic scene on hand: all had their heads blown off by Dave & band.
Loved the Waldorf. Seen many shows there.
A great song ,a great performer ,sadly under rated.
A brilliant performance from Dave Edmunds . We need more like him in the music industry .
@Dave Edmunds Hello Dave . Am doing mighty fine thanks , & hope you're doing mighty fine too . Thanks for the reply , & many more thanks for the music
Love Hear you knocking, takes me back to the seventies. Look him up playing with George Harrison and Carl Perkins! Amazing !
He and Nick Lowe, Stray Cats gave new meaning to Rockabilly.
Who is the guitarist behind Dave Edmunds at 0:25? Look like Steve Cropper.
Yes, it's Steve Cropper.
these guys are awesome, check out all the band's/ connections, family tree of a lot of UK music.. the best..
Most underrated performer of the 7,0s - this was real Chuck Berry stuff!!- great!!
Well, not to split hairs, but this was real Nick Lowe stuff.....
As good today as it ever will be. This mjusic makes me really happy. Care to dance, anyone?
Love seeing two original members of the Miami Horns backing him up!
OMG Dave. Unbelievable guitarist.
steve cropper on rhythm guitar...now thats star power.
You will never get a problem with the Colonel in your defence line! :-)
A great version by dave did shaking Steven's ever record that he should also I heard a version by an irish band that was good
Dave could play at my Wedding, how about it, Dave?

La Bamba on the Bone! I actually auditioned for the position before he joined the Asbury Jukes, but was nowhere good enough. Hey, I could dream, right?
But why does your name sound familiar music wise?
Ain't that Steve Cropper over there, supporting good ol. Dave Edmubds? F-A-B and timeless....Dave's one of the greatest U r & r giants
Yes it is S C.
Ran into Steve Cropper at a restaurant in Nashville...I was too starstruck to say anything...I mean, Steve. Fuc*ing. Cropper.
Yeah, and it looks as tho' he's playing his signature Peavey tele. I wish he'd taken a lead. Maybe he did in the actual performance, but this video seems to have ended abruptly, and Dave's vocals are not synched to the video toward the end of the video.
He opened for the Stray Cats...$10 cover...he tore it up
He discovered the Stray Cats.
Good to see original drummer Terry Williams.
This is not a standard gig, Steve Cropper as sideman and Richie "La Bamba" Rosenberg on trombone.
Una maravilla. The only sad part is that is makes me think of a girl I used to know.
Only sad part is it reminds me of being in a band that used to cover these songs! Brilliant times...
Is this song based on Chuck Berrys "You Never can tell" ? Same chords, same feel, similar melody, same theme couple ,getting married
You'll have to ask Nick Lowe.
Real great rock-and-roller. The STAR!
followed dave forever his music i mean fabulous love his sty;e rockabilly
with Steve Cropper !!
Love this song😘❤️❤️
When you see the thumbnail and think it's mel Gibson
Mr Cropper playing a Peavey S1
one of the true greats
Southside Johnny’s brass section, La Bamba and The Hubcaps, too....👍
When Johnny Lyon had a great band. Remember the Drummer Kenny “Mr. Popeye” Pentafallo?
@@likeitbuzzed6239 On the first two albums…👍👍.
Remember Dave Edmunds in Love Sculpture in the 60’s!
SEEN ROCKPILE ONCE AND DAVE WITH RINGO'S ALL STAR IN LOUISVILLE ON THE FRONT ROW.
Outstanding performer,producer,musician
Rock legend
Dave Edmunds rocks, great version. :-)

I like Nick Lowe's version a little bit better. Especially the guitar sound through out the song.
@@wayneodell3539the best versions were live recordings with Rockpile. This and Nick's versions are too slow, IMO.
Massively underated. One of my favourite songs is 'Crawling from the Wreckage', oh, and then there's 'Girls Talk'. And do people still not rate him as a song witer and performer? WTFN?
Dave didn't write any of the songs you mentioned.
Thanks for that info, Mike. I stand corrected. Who did write them? He was still a great performer. ;-)@@mbogucci1
@@TheScribeofLight girls talk - elvis Costello; I believe Graham parker for wreckage.

Such a great song and performer.
Watch the Carl Perkins and Friends Rockabilly Concert - brilliant tribute to the good old music.
Is that the one where Roseanne Cash has the hots for Dave (understated).
What's your bands name and is there any more vids 👍
Dave Edmunds is a legend. Pure class and I'd love to see him play live as i never have. Come on Dave.....
He retired in 2017.
@@mbogucci1 I think I've missed out there.
I once saw him guest at a Joe Brown gig. He played Mozart's Allegro plus Girls Talk and an instrumental of Lady Madonna.
@@PaulBarry. Yeah, me too. Bummer!
his version of sabre dance is amazing
It's nice to see Mel Gibson singing again...

First gig I went to, sometime around 1977. Edinburgh Odeon with Dave and Nick Lowe :)
Who is here in 2024
Terry Williams !
Kevin Bloody Wilson had a far better version, enjoy.
Dave Edmunds is absolute class !!
Does anybody know who the backing musicians were (drummers, horns, keyboard)?
I spotted Steve Cropper playing rhythm guitar. The rest I can't pick, though the sax player (camera right) I've seen before.
Brilliant.Words do not say more more about a great bunch of lads from Wales.
Steve Cropper and Phil Chen....not a bad pair to back him!
I. Ordered an album of his la Summer. How many performers take the time to autograph an said. Album and out of the clear blue sign it to me and say thanks? Unsolicited yet! I'm impressed.
A "Secret Smile" says a whole lot!!
Proper rock N roll, done a lot of Bopping to this and when I get the chance I still do. brilliant.
This reminds me of another sing and I can't remember which one but defo an old rock n roll tune any clues anyone
Bad news folks I heard the other day that he had retired! Unless you know differemt
I hope he makes a comeback.
Was there any wedding party on which this song was played ?

Orbit street.
Opened for the Stray Cats...tore it up

still love ya always dave you rock
Love it...the way Rockin’ Roll should be played. Reminiscent of Chuck Berry’s style...
in particular Chuck Berry's hit "You Never Can Tell".
This is far better version than the Lowe version. Altho the other version is very entertaining, this is GREAT.
Hello Karen..
At Town and Country Club C86.... Great gig from I can remember x
Dave this is a very nice song, sung very well. Bring me memories. Where R you now. Keep safe.
Great to hear this again
I love the way he sounds... He looked so good here. ❤❤❤
Good boogie woogie rock and roll Lord have mercy😊
