Happy 80th birthday Dave Edmunds!!!

[@PaulWhitcomb-ty6md]

How's he doing? Still in L.A?

[@voiceofmegatron]

Dave Edmunds is the only performer I am aware of who can perform this kind of music without making it look like a nostalgia act. All hail Dave Edmunds!

[@MarkLAsche]

Absolutely. This music is his native language.

[@johnmitrikas7303]

Totally!

[@superamanda]

The reason is because he's the same age as the people that grew up with this music. Hes going to be 79 in a couple of weeks. This isn't a rockabilly nostalgia duck tail revival act like other bands and duck tail Confederate flag apologists who will remain nameless.

[@altonbeckert506]

Many can rock But few can roll Dave Edmunds was one of the few

saxophone: Arno Hecht from the legendary Uptown Horns

[@ralphfurley123]

Dave Edmunds is a true Rock “n” Roller!!! ☮️🖖🏽

[@danielevitelli4651]

[@rightfromleft6071]

Dave's voice is just excellent.

[@jeffreylotzz5651]

The guy's just to cool.

[@maries.3845]

Waouh 😀 toujours le meilleur et toujours le plus beau. Quel artiste génial.. for ever ❤️

[@madmikeastoria]

Anton Figg on the drums.What a fantastic drummer.He even played with the great Robert Gordon

[@andyallan2202]

Check out Dave Edmunds with George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Carl Perkins, Ringo Starr & Earle Slick - 'A Rockabilly Session.'

[@PaulHarcourtDavies]

Don't forget the one guitarist who can best them all, just quietly filling in the background and picking up stuff no-one else's can play...Mickey Gee RIP

[@PaulWhitcomb-ty6md]

Three guys I deify are Dave Edmunds, Rory Gallagher and Roy Buchanan. There is no purer form of rock n' roll than what Dave Edmunds serves up.

[@yvesdevriendt928]

Real Rock and Roll. I just love it !

[@johnropeleski6006]

super version by dave,superb talent

[@djhotdogboy]

Thanks for posting this - a great performance!!!

[@tattyshoesshigure5731]

I love Dave & all his works, but I think the Rockpile years were his finest!

[@brianwilliamson9077]

Totally agree

[@PaulWhitcomb-ty6md]

Really? You think Rockpile was better than Get It?

[@charlesdesmond6510]

I really miss rock'n roll!

[@jackrust9361]

nice... this was old in 1987... great sound...

[@luvbasses5487]

Nice vintage J-Bass there, Willie.

[@PaulWhitcomb-ty6md]

Yeah, he was sounding good.

[@pretorious700]

I'm a bass player, and when I play straights 4ths like that, I have to rock back and forth like Will.

[@PaulWhitcomb-ty6md]

That might help give a cleaner tone.

[@peacemonger1967]

pretty fucking rockin

[@misfit2022]

Frehley’s Comet drummer Anton Fig having fun taking a break from his serious stuff with Ace

[@flyingburritobro68]

He has been with Joe Bonamassa’s band for a few years now

[@misfit2022]

@@flyingburritobro68 Yes but Ace and Anton are so close they will always play together off and on. When Anton released his solo album Figments not so long ago who did he have on as a special guest? Indeed Ace.

[@VintageSG]

Bang on the money as nicmart put it. Dave is also one of the few can do a good take on Dion without sounding lame.

[@soofitnsexy]

never heard of this guy.....sounds kool

[@BFSilenceDogood]

Yup

[@theeasybeats5913]

Dion likes this!

[@franktreppiedi2208]

He is fucking cool.

[@VintageSG]

If you -didn't- jig about to this, or at least head bob, you'd never keep time!

[@MyInnerEyeMusic]

@madmikeastoria Yes

[@madmikeastoria]

Holy shit,I was gonna mention that too.Not too many people know that.I seen him lots of times with Gordon and Chris Speding at the old Lone Star Cafe in Downtown Manhattan Gordon kicks ass.I sitll go see him.Last time was last winter at a place called Bowery Electric also Downtown NYC.

[@stupendous1068]

This version of the Wanderer sounds almost identical to the Status Quo version.

[@assmane999]

True sign of an epic talent

[@delphilly]

@@assmane999 Edmunds was doing this song back in Cardiff in 1965/6..

[@madmikeastoria]

Is that Anton Figg on the drums?

[@michaelaxelfleming]

yes

[@fodsaks]

Mary on my left and Mary on my right? Dave is a bloody rock and roll legend, but he's always had trouble with lyrics... Check out some of his other live songs.

[@michaelaxelfleming]

"The Race Is On" - Dave is a bit loose there, for example.

[@PaulWhitcomb-ty6md]

@@michaelaxelfleming Not an easy song to remember.

[@mikemcf33]

I caught that too. he slipped up there

[@nobuakisato4613]

Will Lee on the bass?

[@michaelaxelfleming]

yes

[@nicmart]

This comment is right on the money.

[@TomTeeHall]

I with my two fists of iron and I'm going nowhere

[@RnREnglands]

Paul S . please sit out

[@brucec43]

You don't happen to play guitar while singing, do ya fodsaks? What about with a strange band?
