Dave Edmunds - Girls Talk - New Years Eve '08

[@chrisbacos]

Dave Edmunds should be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

[@bmx8862]

with Billy Bremner and Mickey Gee

[@jeffreyrausa2098]

He's Not?!?!

[@chrisbacos]

@@jeffreyrausa2098 Nope. So many lame-ass acts in it. I don't vote for it anymore.

[@Magnetron33]

No doubt about it

[@peterbland7227]

The R&R HOF is now a joke.

[@timjmoran]

How brilliant is this arrangement? With the fabulous horns covering the guitar parts !! And of course Dave kills it, sounding as great vocally as he did on the original. He is a super talented man !!

[@firstbornjordan]

Brilliant, so crisp, all these years later. He even sings every backup vocal lyrics. Passionate and talented. RRHF he deserves.

[@simonvanderheijden432]

The RRHF is a joke..

[@courier955]

They don't make 'em like Dave Edmund's anymore..a true musician and a star :-)

[@davinadavis4930]

very true an amazing song they don't make songs like this anymore

[@forphxsake2024]

@@davinadavis4930 seriously, he's not? Say more about the HOF than it does about Dave Edmunds, that's for sure.

[@johngogarty945]

One of those tracks that still sounds superb 40 years on. Loved it then and now. Never tire of hearing it . A great era to be Alive

[@boulder89984]

Has not lost an ounce of talent and ability in 30 years. Impressive performance.

[@mithrilmoon1]

Fantastic. His voice is great live - no blips at all. I love this song and adore this version. Brilliant artist.

[@Bustygirl-dz1wi]

His live voice is amazing

[@malcolmbeckett9802]

I remember this track, just rediscovered and I love it more now than then, pure fun and excitement ♥️

[@colinremmer2417]

You can't stop great music. It NEVER gets old

[@jackjoffy5911]

I was shocked how good he sounds 30 years on from the record.

[@thomasandersen6719]

Make that 40

[@mindhead2005]

He’s a tone down A instead of B He knows to suit his changing voice, and he sounds fantastic

[@robertfish4052]

Plus another few years . It's timeless.

[@grantharrismusic]

Very clearly dropped the pitch: the capo is a dead give-away of that.

[@speedtrip1647]

Brilliant…..

[@ralphfurley123]

Dave Edmunds is so freakin talented!!! He just loves to perform and it shows in every performance! ☮️🖖🏽

[@racketman2u]

I love all versions of this song, but Dave's voice just fits it like a glove.

[@poptopia1]

dave may be getting older but the voice is as strong as ever ! the best song costello ever wrote

[@northernlitez1]

oh please can we turn back the clock........79 was an awesome year

[@mithrilmoon1]

I agree! The 21st Century is full of strife and struggle and mega rich ejits destroying peoples' lives. '79 was amazing x

[@misfit2022]

Wasn’t it ‘78?

[@andybycz]

@@mithrilmoon1 Unfortunately, with the arrival of Thatcher, presaging Reagan's Presidency, and their joint neoliberal Consumoron "society" you have to say '79 was a mixed blessing. They set the tone for the shitty socio-political environment we're in now (eg. "Greed is Good"; NuLabour: My greatest achievement: Thatcher)...which is a *great* shame, as I agree, the music was great, New Wave. Music full of quirky personality and character, viewed and heard on unifying media...

[@jacksmith5692]

Dave Edmunds, one of the best ever.

[@melgrant7404]

Agreexx

[@markphipps985]

Here I am a year later from my last post & find myself back listening to this simply because it’s absolute pure QUALITY!!!…..other artists take note on how it should be done !!!!!!!!

[@rightfromleft6071]

DAVE!!! You always kill it every time. You sir are a legend.

[@warrenbass7350]

Such a great melody,....

[@thebigpicture-elpanorama]

Who's here in 2024?

[@carolwolf9614]

Me. I love this song :)

[@SoberGeorge]

I was so fortunate to have caught a Dave Edmunds live show in the late eighties. He tore the house down! I've seen just about everyrone in concert, and Dave Edmunds stands as one of my favorites. The guy respects the craft, and I hope he continues to perform until he'a 100.

[@martigrant9966]

OMG he still sounds and plays and looks as good as he did when he first started out.

[@madonna58terminiello7]

Dave is so underrated

[@paulwitveendaal3381]

Madonna58 Terminiello or overrated...

[@kevingodding9316]

Yes also very much as a guitarist

[@RTRoberto]

not by his peers he isn't

[@timpowers4449]

Tha man can rock! Thanks for all the years Dave. You have entertained millions with your pipes and unique style.

[@timgrant6646]

Dave Edmunds....Nick Lowe.....Billy Bremner.......Terry Williams.......ROCKPILE. Such a great band

[@annaxxx]

One of the best bands ever!

[@wotsoccurinkim]

@@annaxxx Gotta agree with you there they are all at the top of their game for sure Love them all !!

[@joemuir2575]

It's so good,,real music Dave Edmunds is brilliant and watching Annie Lennox having a good time and as sublime artist herself shows how good this is

[@koekelmetperen]

Dave Edmunds What a great bloke He is a great guitar player and producer!

[@sianwarwick633]

What a way to bring down the house. That's amazing

[@larrycollins7663]

I was 15 years old when the song was released it was a classic video which I first watched 6 years ago on KZbin it was a classic song I wish we could go back to the days of the 1970.s

[@madeleinehague648]

This is six years ago, but it's great to see Dave Edmunds again. He's been reclusive.

[@ronaldstrange8981]

Love it Dave and loved it when it was issued. Many thanks. September, 2023.

[@elframo]

Annie Lennox from my home city and Chris Difford from my first musical love.....I'm almost in tears.

[@strat8333]

I've always been a fan of his musicianship and standards. Dave's responsible for some great music since the late 60's or early 70's. He's also been responsible for the Carl Perkins and Friends concert. Thanks Dave!

[@charmingjim]

He also produced fellow Canadien k.d. Lang's first release.

[@rayman20us]

I love seeing Gilson Lavis drumming on this song!

[@tominwpg]

I didn't realize what a great drummer until I saw this.

[@tambyrlane]

First thing that caught my ear. What a drummer!

[@ulrichrohde4071]

I know what a joy it is having a good drummer in the band!

[@davidsutherland7737]

This was his era. Late 70’s & 80’s with Squeeze .... he was just the best!

[@josephgurzynski1053]

@@davidsutherland7737 Yes! Saw Squeeze in concert three times and he sounded great every time. The whole band did.

[@B50Stevie]

This guy is a legend, fantastic good old rock.

[@poshladysurrey8930]

He has a great live voice

[@phogue1]

That's Chris Difford and Annie Lennox jamming out and singing along to Dave Edmonds…that is very cool.

[@nicolarsefir]

I agree 100% with all that’s been said here. I think you’re wonderful Dave Edmunds…God bless you 🥰

[@icdiamond8264]

ok i am going to defend dave here: This is PURE talent and lot better than the crap YOU LOT listen to like gaga and cyrus whom have no talent except that of dressing like Prozzies! Yes I can talk as I am self confessed METAL HEAD! with tastes like Paradise Lost, Rammstein, Lucana Coil etc: So if a METAL HEAD can appreciate talent like this then so can you! Get a grip! You go dave and well done!"

[@alisonflannery3308]

Well said

[@dfberry]

IC Diamond ... and back before Autotune !

[@sst3d]

IC Diamond that said, Elvis Costello did actually write the song... And Dave made it an enduring classic

[@sst3d]

IC Diamond Elvis Costello wrote this song and gave it to Dave. Just be clear Dave kicked ass with it

[@Frankowillo]

It's "who" not "whom".

[@peterfarrel9629]

wow that bring back some fantastic memoires for me .a great song.

[@jduff59]

Dave's voice sounds amazing, as always

[@eddieandrews3335]

Full respect to Costello for writing and singing this song but this is my favourite version. Linda was pretty cool aswell

[@johnfenner347]

All Honours Go To Dave And Gilson Lavis, On Drums. Excellent !.

[@nigellewis6279]

MR DAVE EDMUNDS IS THE TOP! LOVE HIM AND HIS MUSIC BIG BIG FAN ME!

[@MrPhilip1952]

Simply a MASTERPIECE of his Song by a BRILLIANT Artiste ..... {{ And WHAT a Band too ...!!!! }}

[@stevenhearnden522]

Elvis Costello's song?

[@MrPhilip1952]

Never Knew that Steven .. Always thought it was Dave's ..

[@stevenhearnden522]

Elvis wrote it and recorded it on his album 'get happy' but of course Dave made a great hit of it.

[@rocknjbindad3707]

What a great performance. Discovering these nuggets is the cool thing about Sirius and KZbin.

[@ganz48]

still great 29 years after the original !!

[@jamiebyrne458]

this is the first single i ever bought and i still have it

[@poshladysurrey8930]

Amazing song I was only 5 when it was first released Dave is amazing live here more than I can say for a loyalty of modern pop stars now

[@redwandennaoui4508]

Always loved this song growing up in the 70’s was a time of stress free living…..

He is retired now which it's too bad only saw him once which was at the Kingsworld theatre when he was playing in Ringo's All Star Band.

Wow this was 12 years ago but he was still sounding great. I saw him in the mid 80s in a bar/small club - One of the best shows I have ever seen. Just an amazing talent.

Still lookin' and soundin' good.

Sounds just the same as ever brilliant ❤❤love dave❤❤

[@teresasmith7391]

Such a clear live voice

[@mscommerce]

I was at an unnanounced Dave Edmunds concert at my college in August 1982. He was huge, of course, with the college crowd in those days, but by the time word got out, half the concert was over! More importantly, I sat at the foot of the two-foot high stage on the grass of the quad. Happy times!

[@garymonk6770]

Love the glance at 1.14 at jools Holland as if to say yes i've still got it ! Gilson lavis loving it too brilliant

Good rendition of his classic,. Love them horns!

I´m 70, and I have seen quite some concerts in my life. But I never managed to see a Dave Edmunds concert. Now he´s retired. Now I know why leaves turn brown in autumn!

[@venderstrat]

Takes me back. I love this.

[@labspeciman7402]

I had this 45.. Its still popular. Good stuff.

[@misfit2022]

How generous of Elvis to hand this gem over. Gilson, ex Squeeze, rocking it on the drums

[@S2Sturges]

Wondered who that was, excellent drummer

[@misfit2022]

@Steve Sturges Yes Gilson Lavis who played I think on the first nine Squeeze albums but you might want to check that. I seem to remember Elvis’s drummer from The Attractions, another great drummer, Pete Thomas playing on Some Fantastic Place. Gilson now tours with Jools but also an impressive artist I seem to remember from an old Modern Drummer article and he has had exhibitions so multi-talented.

[@S2Sturges]

@@misfit2022 Thanks for that, yes, truly multitalented fellow...!

[@les6234]

It's kind of sad how some singers try to instill new life into an old song, with a voice that just doesn't cut it anymore. Dave Edmunds isn't one of those. He sounds just as good, just as fresh as he did back in 1979.
