Electric Six - Danger! High Voltage! Live Jools Holland 2003

One of my favourite Electric Six live performances

[@pierre-marcdrouin8827]

1:22: greatest move by a frontman in history of rock and roll.

He's like a demented version of one of those _Kraftwerk_ mannequins.

Since this happened I've seen the band 14 times, met them multiple times, been added to their guestlist for local shows and they sent me a video congratulating me on my engagement. This song literally changed my life.

I got to see them lately after years of waiting. Absolutely brilliant. Dick Valentine is mesmerising. During solos he often goes to the back of the stage and stands rock still. Weird, but more powerful than prancing around.

[@joeshittheragman6252]

They released an album every year for 10 years too. Super underrated

[@MidnightNostalgia]

I think the reason he does his amazing camera stare is because he usually does all sorts of crazy stuff during the solos, even doing press ups :P I've got a feeling the producers told him to take it easy or not go overboard or something, hence a "simple" camera stare! Long live DV!

[@heybartender24]
