EDDIE KIDD Leave it to the Kidd (1978 Feat pre Dr Feelgood)

Bus jumping mad motorbike stunt man Eddie Kidd performing his single 'Leave it to the Kidd' live on Revolver 1978.
Strangely, his music career didn't take off as well as his bike & he was soon back to jumping over things for a living.
Despite having been riding a motorbike since aged 14 & having performing over 3,000 jumps, he didn't have a motorbike license until 1995, ironically within a year of getting the licence he'd had a major accident which left him wheelchair-bound, but he has since vowed to return to the world of stunts. Last seen in 2001 TV documentary talking to Russell Brand about his life after his accident.
This performance features Phil Mitchell (no, not that one!) & Kevin Morris (later of Dr Feelgood) in Eddie's backing band.

Yo, Eddie, this is Shon. Crashed in 1985 doing 214' in Palmdale, CA. Retired now, we all miss your radical jumps! Guess we're both lucky to still have a pulse! Cheers and feel better every day Bro!

Most of 70's punkish music sounded like this.

I loved revolver it was a short lived but it captured the time artists and attitude peter cook was cool here as host and eddie kidd surprised he did not take off as a pop star because he was sexy as f..k back then they should re run these on tv great performances on there.
