Who doesnt love a song that starts with the phrase "Asian cigarettes?" Proud to be a kiwi.

[@dixonbeejay]

Dave still going bloody legend Sir Dave Dobbyn now

[@FrancescaLee-np3qr]

Yep proud to be a kiwi

[@hanzjensen2154]

Absolutely epic performance from Dave. Both vocals & lead guitar are outstanding 🔥

[@brianhoffman4861]

Okay... right... playing a bit of kiwi..... okay....we can...god loves a kiwi

[@Soundeagle3456]

this will always be Dave's song, describes his teenhood.

Outrageous fortune brought me here

[@lukaduka1001]

You cant tell me success isn't random and sometimes life has no rhyme nor reason. This and plenty of other kiwi music craps all over anything Lorde has ever done and yet she is probably the only kiwi artist to have real solid success in the US ( you could say Crowded House fits in here but they are a NZ/Aussie mix). The number of outstanding bands to come out of NZ in the 70s, 80s , 90s and yet they typically die a death bouncing between NZ, Aussie and sometimes the UK only to come back to NZ and disband.

Very true about Lez White not on the bass,first time I saw this clip is today,and yes,that was Robbie Sinclair on bass,fuck ! goes to show how time flies,I was gonna say how old I am but that's too cliched,ooops I just did

[@zoommr1266]

wow///////where did this come from?.......i knew Dave was great/////,,,,,but this this is awesome!!!!! wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwoooowwwwwwwwwwww

[@justmadeit2]

Did Dave sing the original or the other guy Ulrich?

[@nintendonut100]

Dave sang it on the album as well

Weaving guitars to rival the stones

[@pauljukes]

Dave Dobbyn's voice was shit in this song. Good song but he wrecked it

[@dikless222]

Great clip! Where did you get this from?! I was roadie for them at that time...this is 1979 NOT 1978..the reason I know it's 1979 is because that's not Th' Dudes regular bass player in this clip! Their regular bass player Lez White broke his wrist and the guy in this clip playing bass is Robbie Sinclair once of Schtung...Robbie filled in for about 6 weeks, I'm guessing around April/May 1979. This is pre Dave Dobbyn bleaching his hair which was mid 1979!!! RIP my bro Ian Morris. Th' Dudes, on their night, were the greatest little rock'n'roll band in the world. Thanks for sharing the memories...Rikki Morris.

[@technical6ify]

THANKS! A joy to see this. One of my favourite bands. RIP Ian Morris

[@dikless222]

[@technical6ify]

@@dikless222 Ah cheers. I would have loved to have seen this performance. He's bloody good. (Of course, if I were alive then, I'd also have gone and seen The Swingers, Split Enz & Dragon.)

@@technical6ify hard to believe that Dave D, Ian Morris and Peter Urlich were all only 22 when this show happened! I was side stage and I would've been 18, nearly 19....
