Love and Rockets - Dog End of a Day Gone By

[@fairdose]

I just attended the Cruel World Festival in Pasadena last week (May 21,2023) and specifically flew in from Montreal for the festival because of Love and Rockets. It was their first gig together after 15 years and I swear when they started performing this song, I started to tear up. I was convinced that I would never hear these guys perform this song live again and …well, there you go, miracles do happen.

[@stephanemontour3842]

Lucky you!! The best song they ve ever made !!! Masterpiece !!!

[@DoroteoVilla]

I met David J at a coffee shop a few years ago. Incredibly nice guy. No one paid him any attention at all. I walked up to him and asked him if he was David J. Yes. Fucking legend.

[@saturnoh3142]

This song is still in my heart, the first time i heard it I was 16 years old, Now I am 46... Life goes on, music belongs

[@davestrain9529]

SAME . was 16 ..Now 52!

[@wendyhiggins-fillman2772]

Same 🥀

[@wendyhiggins-fillman2772]

Was 16 now 52

[@jdm3137]

First heard it at 20 and still love it at 53

[@domino4565]

~ It certainly was a moment.

A blast from the past! One of my early collaborations with friend and colleague Mitch Jenkins. We shot several videos for Love and Rockets . This was performance footage shot by myself on a 16mm Bolex during a gig at the Dominion Theatre, London 1989. We also had a multi camera video crew there shooting for what should have been a live film of the concert, but the lighting was crap and Beggars felt the footage wasn't good enough to put out. Maybe we should revisit those tapes if they still exist

[@number7gracestreet]

Absolutely gorgeous! Nice one Mate! And to think, 16mm! So many years bfore Ptochop! :-)

[@leftynotliberal]

You can never get stage lighting guys to light for camera. They just don't get it.

[@KichinKing]

I always wondered what became of the footage of that gig. I remember the cameras there that night. Thanks for clearing that up!

[@pedropinto2475]

Amazing😗

[@Strwrsgrl01]

I always see this in my head when I hear this!

[@jehouse61]

This song never fails to make me cry...originally because I was an emotional 20 something, now because I wish I was still an emotional 20 something...

[@ulsavonhunter9241]

Me too

[@stockholm1752]

You’ve got a good sense of humor. You will survive.

[@heser]

SOMEONE POSTED THIS SONG JUST MINUTES BEFORE MY LOVED BABY DOG PASSED AWAY, I KNOW THE SONG SPEAKS OF MANY OTHER THINGS, BUT I REMEMBER WELL I JUST CRIED SO MUCH WHEN I HEARED IT BECAUSE THE MUSIC SOUNDED JUST LIKE THE ATTITUDE OF MY DOG..."A DOG IS BARKING AT THE MOON, STUCK AT THE DOG-END OF A DAY GONE BY, BOY DON'T LET THE SMOKE GET IN YOUR EYE" WERE MOST OF THE LINES THAT PUNCHED ME RIGHT THEN...I MISS YOU OLD FELLA...

[@plushtoyorgy6664]

I love this song so much. When I went through a really shitty period that lasted about two years, I listened to this song constantly and it got me through it. So uplifting, and Haskins drums are primal and hypnotic.

[@cosmolux123]

forgot how much I love this song. Love and Rockets at the Pine Street Theater in Portland in the 80's on Earth Sun Moon tour was, and always has been the best show of my life.

[@Nina01x]

I let the smoke get in my eye ... Better now, thanks! L&R 🖤

[@MarleyMo100]

I was at this concert with my brothers ! It was recorded at The Dominion Theatre just off Tottenham Court Rd. Fucking awesome band live !!

[@MDoyle-sf2ld]

this song always gets me through a bad day. and yes, I too am still listening in 2016. L&R, fuckyeah!!

[@randomevents5567]

Biggest musical influence in the group of musicians I co write with. Work in progress...someday hopefully next year will come to light. LOVE this band..from Canada!

[@DoroteoVilla]

Man, this still rips!!!

[@flushead8083]

Love and rockets re wrote the definition of cool back in the day and their music still resonates to this day!

[@Phoenix-qu6pg]

these lyrics hit me deep in the soul, the song is very special

[@DocDarnell]

This song is just so intense. Easily in my top five of their catalog.

[@PixieCabanyaler]

Si, yo también lo tengo en vinilo, y no sólo ese, todos!!!!!. De verdad, después de casi 20 años, hoy he tenido esta canción toooodo el día en mi cabeza. Y al llegara a casa, no he podido resistir la tentación de escucharla. Madre mía menudo temazo, y menudo grupo.

[@wendydunn410]

don't let the smoke get in your eye...

[@christopheradderley45]

Ave it! Back of the 🥅 One of the greatest tracks ever recorded and just way too good to have ever been massively popular 🖤

[@lasloacosta]

saw them on the Express tour. best F-ing show i have ever seen from beginning to end!!!!!!! and i hadnt even done the smack yet

[@flynntaylor5459]

Thats a beautiful memory- thanks for sharing. Love and Rockets is pretty special, they helped me become an exceptional poet- their lyrics are so profound.

[@talldarkandahandfull5781]

What do these lyrics mean to you please

[@jeffrobodeenyehcmon5925]

This song and video is so hypnotic

[@KichinKing]

I was at this gig too. I remember seeing the video cameras and later wondered why a live video never came out. Now I know why.

[@talldarkandahandfull5781]

I guess you don't think this video came out well?,it seems ok to me.

[@ABoltMonkey]

That time when Kevin Haskins played an entire marching band drumline all by himself.

[@DMR-28]

Still Magic

[@fabriziodibenedetto3696]

This remember me my twenty years. Fantastic

[@debbiesherstobitoff3546]

One of my favorite bands, Great track!!!

[@ig3895]

This song takes me back to my hometown Boyle heights L. A. Fucking miss it 😢

[@albertotamburini9908]

For me,best tune by L&R

[@TaxPayingContributor]

Glad to still be there. 😊

[@GeneTrujillo]

I had never seen this video before - thanks! Everyone else wears sunglasses in dark clubs, right?

[@kydonia]

@geridg I have it too, as well as the Tones on Tail LP, and several Bauhaus vinyls... so glad I never put them on Ebay... Good stuff to hold on to :) thanks for sharing :)

[@amymorketter2954]

saw at cruel world - amazingly beautiful! i listened to this like crazy when it first came out

[@marysalisbury9270]

I love this song! Thank you Suzanne Reed for reminding me.

[@flvnow]

I was a big fan back in the day, but I had nearly forgotten about them. I will have to get the album's out again

[@andrewburgess633]

brilliant- they are so good here

[@manueljaviermontecinomonte7549]

Que maravilla !!!!

[@Ginevive]

holy shit I love them. just always amazing

[@guyphawkes]

@TheRealDoubleDare I would love to have been there. WE NEED a full length Love and Rockets concert film, I saw them enough times to say I was addicted to them, but, DAMN, hard to get a fix like that these days. BRING IT AWN GUYS, lets get a good live gig.

[@electrocute1979]

the drums sound exactly like The Drowners by Suede. of course, that song came out some years after this.one.

[@griiseknoen]

And they both copied the drums from XTC's "Making Plans For Nigel".

Do someone really understand this song?

[@talldarkandahandfull5781]

No I don't,a man coming off like moses,flouting roses,found like through the heart of ,jesus,,you tell him uou found yours,you tell him a future you made,future,city without a soul,selling uou the hard truth,lucifer employs the hands of the day,by boy,by the dark,smoke in the eyes,friendly,dog barking at the moonoooooon,want to get away from the city of lights,then when your gone you want to get it back,so much addiction,when you need to put yourself,booooy,still booooy,dark booooy,don't let the smoke get in your eye,snuff out the dark,,,booooy,???????????

[@fabriziodibenedetto3696]

Sorry this song
