[@AnitaVickers-ey2nw]

What can I say about the legendary Stray Cats. Kings of rockabilly. ❤ U still in 2023 and beyond.

[@massimilianotranni5577]

Stray cats the best rock a billy band in the world

[@michelleretro7178]

Absolutely brilliant musicians singers songs. I would love to see these live. Just fantastic I love them they sound so cool and modern ahead of their time. I'm listeningin 2024 a heavy rock metal fan brilliant guitar playing from Brian Setzer

[@OtherMike5000]

For a dude that plays Olde music Brian was WAY ahead of his time.

[@ThundersMcCoy]

It's so crazy how they sounded retro and cutting edge at the same time and 40+ years later It still sounds fresh.

[@lankylankster7148]

Ergonomically-sound drum kit, featuring marvelous, sit-stand technology. Man, that drummer was way ahead of his time!

[@dondaigle1822]

Punk a billy at its finest Brian Setzer was an old rock and roll soul in his youth very underrated talent

[@charliegocat]

この時のスタイル、サウンドすべてカッコいい❗

[@marcdelente2456]

Comment Brian assurait déjà à la guitare un phénomène et les musiciens formidables. Aujourd'hui Brian a créé les Rockabilly Riot et Jazz Band SETZER. Brian Setzer est notre légende bien vivante et toujours fou et passionné par ça musique comme quand il a fait ça première apparition. Salut Brian a bientôt en concert.

I miss these good old days 😢 Best time ever ......Thanks for sharing

[@williamoxendine6121]

If these guys had come out in 64 they would have give the Beatles a run for their money

[@intromortti]

Or not, 50's American rock 'n' roll and rockabilly was at that time just few years before gone out of fashion and British pop was number one. Rockers went to country or continued r&r with little success. Next chance to r&r bands was in the late 70's, when music had long time been so boring and stale that people wanted fresh rock 'n' roll and rockabilly again.

[@officialmarzomccutter]

Awesome show...love the cats from the beginning .... greetz from germany

[@fritstimmer3331]

OUTSTANDING and welcome in Cindy's Jukebox

[@trapezoidspangle934]

Brilliant. At the height of their powers. Nicking offstage for a few bumps. 😁

[@Tull1996]

I got to see these guys live in 1984....they were fantastic....

[@justayungmisfit351]

Storm the Embassy is such an underrated song, it's so poetic and has a lot of symbolism about the shit that went down in the Iranian Embassy Siege.

[@paulhillam9185]

Fantastic, loving this.. Always been a rocker, love this band..

[@martinevensen406]

Great band

[@furself114]

Thanks for the breakout. Perusing other YT videos, you appear to be a bit of a Stray Cat aficionado. Question: Is there a live version of "How long you wanna live, anyway?"

[@mussdl6006]

Great Band!

[@ogrebattle22763]

EXCELLENT!!!! What a show.... thank you for the upload...

[@ThundersMcCoy]

See kids, you don't need backing tracks, amp modelers drum triggers & a thousand people on stage.

1:09 “Can I have some fuckin’ bass..?!?”

[@jamesnewman7961]

Awesome 🤣

[@jacksadler8737]

This live show has the same songlist order as the montreux concert played a little after this one in 1981. Although these concerts were played a short time apart they sound so different. I love them both but personally prefer the montreux addition. Love the stray cats!

[@aljustal6554]

This was July 16, 1981. The Montreux show was on July 10th, so it the other way around---Montreux was six days earlier. Also, they played some different songs in the final encore, although you are correct that the main setlist was the same. For instance, this show has two Gene Vincent and The Blue Caps songs, but that show had a total of four.

[@nuwax]

RADIO LOVE LOVE!!! Thanks a lot for this HQ upload!

[@ERICF66]

The Stray Cats were so awesome! Loving this show from way back in the day!

[@dirkdiggler13]

Still are! Get out and catch them on this current tour! ;)

[@pennywise8182]

Those people didn't know what hit them when the Cats started playing.......Nothing beats real Americans playing real American Rock N Roll........America invented it.🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@davidmellish3295]

We may have invented it BUT credit where credits due,The Brits perfected it,The Stones,The Who,Pink Floyd,The Beatles, The Kinks,Small Faces/Faces,Queen,Black Sabbath,Elton John,Rod Stewart ,Eric Clapton, Genesis, Led Zep, Cream,Deep Purple, Iron Maidon,The Clash,The Jam etc etc etc The list just goes on and on and for a tiny little Country it's amazing how many legendary bands and singers they've produced
