Never got to see this..... My missus and I were lucky enough to see Chas n Dave on their last tour before he got ill....they rocked the Crewe Lyceum.....sadly it was not only the last time we would get to see Chas n Dave but my missus passed away at the beginning of 2018 and so It was also the last concert we went to together. Ain't no pleasing you had me to tears as you can imagine....So many memories. 💔

[@mattinfullvision9598]

That's the thing, Chas and Dave didn't just make music together they were also the best of mates and you can really tell that when Dave tears up

[@richardharries5825]

That’s so sweet that you can share that with us.

[@terrydavidson5052]

[@chipbuttytime3396]

Back in 1984 when Newcastle played Chelsea in division 2 at half time a Chas and Dave song got played, I thought it was a funny gesture and the visiting Chelsea fans lapped it up

[@martinconnor9840]

I love Chas & Dave. Have done since I was about 10 (53 now) just proper music. So good. Love it. RIP Chas and Mick

[@jamesknight5443]

I served pie mash in their boozer back in the day... absolute legends and true gentlemen.

[@keithbarnes1321]

What pub was that?

[@lynne150351]

so glad I found this, so much talent all together on one stage, brilliant tribute to a great musician R I P Chas, you were unique , love all your songs, I was brought up singing all the old tunes sitting outside the pub waiting for mum and dad with my bottle of pop and packet of crisps!!!!! this is real music, I'm so proud to be a child of the 60's, keep on rocking up there Chas.

[@bbcian3651]

Great Band - great memories. I played in a Group in the early sixties at fabulous long since gone venues such as The Bridge House E16, Dukes Head E6, Greyhound-Seven Kings, Royal Oak-Goodmayes, Roundhouse-Barking, Church Elm-Dagenham (where I seem to recall, Jimmy Page had a valued Gibson stolen), Double Six-Basildon etc etc . Thanks, Chas, Dave, Albert, Joe etc for keeping us all going.

[@bbcian3651]

Someone asked me if my Group was The Evergreens....yes....great great memories, and Little Queenie for a bonus...wow.

[@eddiehumphrys4589]

A fitting tribute to a lovely bloke. Thanks for the music Chas. Xxx

[@coggsy3036]

Albert lee and chas were in one of the best bands ever HEAD HANDS AND FEET 🙅🏼‍♂️🙅🏼‍♂️🙅🏼‍♂️🙅🏼‍♂️

[@rfurdaylee]

And that's no bollox!!

[@ukeHUGers]

Thank you so much. Very generous to allow Chas' fans on the other side of the world to experience such a wonderful tribute. Such a talented man...he is sorely missed. And such talented kids...he must have been so proud of them. Thank you again. (Oh, and I cried all through Ain't No Pleasing You too)

[@79palace]

I grew up listening to Chas n Dave,whenever I listen too em it reminds me of the good times when grandparents where still about 😢Proppa music for Proppa people.....RIP Sir Chas 🙏🏻

[@croydonable]

i`m QPR but i make you right ,so up the Palace !

[@philjoneshammersley]

This was a fabulous night in Shepherds Bush....I had the pleasure of interviewing Chas a number of times & was a real pleasure to know him...will miss getting his texts in the middle of the night asking if i was awake, as he was often on his way home from a gig :-) Cheers for the memories Chas & hope Dave continues the musical magic!! x

[@simont936]

The great chas hodges completely underrated. He could play joanna like it just came off the ration and Dave was great to join in. This was much better music than you think.Jools Holland respects them, and Jools knows how to play jazz. I think think the Shepherds Bush Empire is closed for the duration, but is mentioned actually in Only Fools and Horses "From a mush in shepherd's bush" by the great John Sullivan. You stick a pony in your pocket, I take a suitcase from the van, but if you want the best 'uns but you dont ask questions then bruvver I'm your man. As where it all comes from is a mystery, like the changing of the seasons or the tides of the sea. But here's the one that's driving me berzerk, Why do only fools and horses work? John Sullivan wanted Chas n Dave to sing it on the titles, but they weren't available, so he sung it himself. That was just a copy tape submitted to the BBC as a prelim copy, but because Chas n Dave werent available they went with John Sullivan, the writer, his version. He never meant it it to go public he wanted Chas n Dave to do it. He aésp wrote "Dear John" and you can hear him singing on various BBC things- the BBC was very cheap and wouldnt pay repeat fees. You'll hear John Sullivan's voice on a lot of things, for example Citizen Smith he is singing on that. One of the best comic writers of my generation but the BBC wwere so cheap they didnt pay him for it

[@GazzaLloyd]

RIP 😇😇😇 Chas Hodges . I really miss their music. It really made me laugh when ever I heard them sing, their type of music really cheered me up whenever I was feeling down.

[@Treborhtims1972]

Their music will always live on Gaz!

[@vutti2893]

Probably more musical talent in their little fingers than most ‘pop’ musicians today. If I feel a bit ‘low’……..5 mins of Chas & Dave (and Mick)……sorted !

[@BackToTheBlues]

Nice choice of song from Eric Clapton - he and Albert Lee played Goodnight Irene on Chas & Dave's TV show - it's here on KZbin!

[@tonidewonderful4187]

In Newcastle's promotion season 1983/84 we played Chelsea at StJames Park, there was quite a bit of bad feelings between the rival fans, Chelsea had brought a fair few fans up. Then at half time the loudspeaker started blasting out a Chas and Dave song, I can't quite remember which one, the atmosphere completely changed, I think whoever was playing the record thought it was a bit of a pizz take but in reality they probably stopped a lot of people getting filled in.

[@binniemod]

Brilliant concert and a fitting tribute to a stellar musician, thanks for posting.

[@sharonbroderick4048]

they wrote some great songs together . i love the medleys of the old standards they did . they brought happiness . thank you chas and dave !

[@robertfish4052]

Knees up!

[@tomhorn4622]

Ain´t no pleasing you: The first song, here I danced with my wife in 1982. Sometimes we still dance after that today... Thanks Chas, thanks Dave!

[@cathyfitzpatrick9384]

Without the real music we all would be lost .... Totally.... God bless these guys they all made Chas Proud

[@terrydavidson5052]

Simply put...👍

[@ames66]

I can't believe it's been a year. A lovely man who I had the pleasure of seeing and meeting twice, he has a beautiful family. I cried during Ain't No Pleasing You for a couple of reasons. A fitting tribute to a great performer.

[@cazrelda]

This is making me cry, met Chas, Dave and Micky Burt in Perth, wonderful.

[@markwhite2207]

Played with Jerry Lee Lewis, supported Led Zeppelin sampled by Eminem (!) & wrote some of the catchiest songs ever...Gertcha!

[@robertfish4052]

A Joanna. Sax, big bass. And a good Banter. I loved his piano skills. Still do. There should be a statue of them.

[@kezdepp7355]

I was there that night!! Fantastic!

[@paddychapman2299]

Good old chas dont know if u will read this Dave but I saw u lineing the gypsy wagon my grandad had traction engines and threshing drum which he lined the wheels etc I still have his brushes I have had bow top wagon and piebold horses and running dogs nice one mate 👍

[@richardharries5825]

What a great tribute to Chad hodges. But the story told in chases words. Was funny. That was timed at 1:42:12. But on the hole.Both were two great musicians. Chad will be greatly missed. By all that listed to the music. Of both Chas and Dave.

[@damonsummers]

A great tribute to Chas and his music

[@jamespasifull]

Love it when the old guys show em how to really rip it up!!

[@myeyes2urs340]

Fantastic, he would have been proud. RIP fella, thanks for the memories

[@sbluez6444]

Chas has a big smile on his face up there in heaven. Beautiful and moving memorial concert.

[@aemonregas156]

God bless you Chaz never forgotten !

[@roycanham7950]

I saw Chas and Dave at the Starlight Rooms in Enfield must have been the eighties loved them ever since. What a fabulous line up of talent to send the great man off. BRILLIANT.

[@seanpearson3303]

What a pleasure Chas n Dave was.Love em to bits.

[@Dambuskers]

Amazing line up for a great man ..xm

[@keithbarnes1321]

Chas and Dave some of the best entertainers in the business but I don't know wo told Kate she could sing.

[@jillalexander3006]

There was an awful lot of dodgy singing - whether it was emotion or just over ambition but it is really really clear that Chas was the strong vocalist in that act and try as they might they haven't got anyone to come even near to matching him

[@teent0mt0m]

Great tribute to a great musician. Hope Chas heard it all as he headed out on that Last Stage West!

[@LurgsHowToGuides]

Great show.

[@raymondoakford8357]

If only Chas and Dave had teamed up with The Mavericks. that would have been the dream team.

[@rfurdaylee]

Or Status Quo.

[@dizzy56]

I was there that night...balling from start to finish...but, because my phone was flat, I wasn't able to take any pics (or the odd sneaky vid...ssshhh), so I was beyond gutted...I can't tell you how great it is to find this in here. ❤️💕🎸🎶🙏🏻

[@colinrixen-grandpop8697]

My partner and I saw Chas n Dave in 2016 one of the best concerts ever been too. Absolutely rocked - just wished we seen them more often.

[@philnewton-england7795]

English music has lost a true legend......Great to see Ed Tudorpole there too. 👍🏼❤️

[@simont936]

The great chas hodges very mch underrated. He could do rinky-dink joanna like nobody else. He CHOSE to play in a cockney style. As a cockney myself, I sing along which is a bit tricky considering I live in Budapest so aitch-dropping and t-backing is not easy in Hungarian, never mind I battle on. The great chas hodges very much unrerrataed. I have been trying to do the lyrics in German, Hungarian and Roma which is lets face it a bit tricky to do the "Sideboard Song" in Hungarian, especially if you don't know the words for "Sideboard" nor "Song". I went with szekewnyi kabinnet

[@rossmcl1776]

So I was actually doing ok with holding the tears back. Then 2.30.34 happened. There's Nik at the front saying Thanks, Dave's hugging Katie behind him, and then (this is where I really started flooding) Dave hugging Joan. Amazing show.

[@splatten8597]

Great keyboards and piano and of course bass! And the drums!

Allo👋 Ere's a bit of "Rabbit Rabbit yap yap bunny bunny Rabbit" from yours truly🤣👍 Thanks for all the music/memories and bloody good times listening/dancing to your music as a lad and now middle aged geeza You've played for myself/others at many a party etc over the years and i was lucky enough to see you live at Guilfest a few years back Me mum just popped up with Saturdays "Linen Draper" lovely story by Joan Hodges "Er Indoors" What a lucky geeza/lovely lady she is Anyway.... All the best🍺

[@heidispawsandfins]

Bloody brilliant! Chas would have been overwhelmed and I'm sure watched it all! A great tribute xx

[@simont936]

You try singing cckney songs in Hungarian, something has to give.The words go all OK but the rhíme-shheme tends to go, If I do "We use to go fishing in the old canal", I have to do aranzhál a kicsit duna, then I have to somehow rhyme that with a piano tuna or something, so it al goes bit out of whack. Singing cockney songs in Hungarian is not easy and let's e frank, or at least Francis, I am extremely bad at it. What I generally do is slip into French so it becomes mon homme viueux a dit suivre le camion, or in hungarian a regy ferfri beszels Lloyd Marie van, but I haven't worked out the translation for "dilly-dally" yet, the closest I got is "oda-vissza", there and back, but it is not a very accurate translation. Even in FFrench it is tricky, ne pas rester en route, don't hang around. The great Chas Hodges may he rest in peace- As a cpclmey O never met him personally but I he was a brilliant artist. Much underapressiated. I wish that I could write a love song for him, to show the way I feel. He taught me how to play the piano that is really weird. He never knew it, but he taught me without knowing it the score and how to play a it of basic piano. He he never klnew it. In memoriaum Chas Hodges.. He has given me so much pleasure in my life I teach English to Hungarians and I use chas and dave to make it go really double-quick and pun and stuff. No need for all the textbooks, just chas and dave with quick wit and punning and I can tech English to Hungarianss- I know that sounds stupid but it is better than what they learn at school which is very formal English. So they get the dropped aitches and glottal stops off me. It is really hard to get a Hungarian to do a glottal stop, and H-dropping isn't easy eaither. I've lived in Budapest for seven years so I am kinda used to a Hungarian English accent, but my natural accent is how chas and dave speak. I also roll my R's in a suffolk mannor, and Hungarians can't do that either. On purpose I took my Hungarian wife to Machynlleth as that is just impossible for her to pronounce. On the other hand I can't pronounce Szölosynyáraló which is a bit of a pity as that is where we live

[@highpath4776]

Chas learned piano watching Jerry Lee Lewis when the outlaws were backing him and gene vincent in the UK tours.

[@Clodhopping]

Blimey, that must have needed to come out mate 🤣

[@janbush9579]

Sad loss

[@danielcontinuous]

Brilliant, very moving.

[@rusty75ish]

Yet to hear a bad word about either of them

[@jillalexander3006]

One act that I truly regret not seeing live when I had the chance. If you haven't seen it look for the documentary they made about their music. Full respect to CHas who was a self taught musician/arranger. I used to do a pub gig/open mic night that they would occasionally come to and had the privilege of actually getting a laugh out of Dave with one of my monologues that I used to do.

[@dorothylingwood9926]

Absolute legends 😍😍

[@simonharrison1874]

RIP Chas. Fucking legends.

[@steveduncan9256]

[@neilrogers8169]

Ironic Dave retires. Chas carries on. and Dave comes out of retirement to do a tribute show for is best mate. What a guy.

[@roddyteague6246]

Sad as well. Dave retired from the band due to his wife dying of cancer. Then Chas died.

[@jillalexander3006]

@@roddyteague6246 I can remember something similar with the great duo Flanagan & Allen. Ironic then that Chesney Allen retired from the act in 1945 due to ill health and outlived the other 7 by many years.
