The Dickies ~ Raw Footage (5 songs)

[@scottbrettschneider9782]

Had the great fortune to see the Dickies twice at the Starwood in West Hollywood in Dec 80 & Feb 81.

[@obscuritystunt]

I don't understand why I love the Dickies so much, but I do. Some of the best shows I have ever been to.

[@urkelheimer]

ill tell you why, cause they are fun and they rock

[@Brewzerr]

What's not to love? The longstanding clown princes of punk. They still put on a great show, even 40+ years later. Only the humorless don't love the Dickies.

[@CarinaPrimaBallerina]

Here's the answer ... it's because they're the best freaking punk band ♡ ♥💕❤😘

[@paulgodward4262]

Because, much like the Toy Dolls, it is impssible the be in a bad mood listening to them.

[@MUSTANG19681968]

Caught them this past Sunday at the Rainbow's Summer Bash. They were a last minute fill in for someone, not sure who.

[@elderlypoodle9181]

Really the best footage ever historically preserved

[@AndrewBarrett-x8r]

One of the best lineups of one of L.A.'s best original Punk bands...

[@stephenflasch141]

Miss you dear Carlos when you played outstanding Bowie songs on your drums with Danny Thomas ( Wilde) And brought the very first Queen album to my home. RIP and Glad Danny met Natali. All meant to be 21:55

[@gennaroconnors9304]

i saw them open up for the Ramones at One Step Beyond in Santa Clara. changed my fuckin life. i will love the Dickies till i die.

[@markwhited1785]

You hit the punk lottery.

[@ph1646]

Saw them in Chester (England) in 79 or 80. It was before Gigantor so I am guessing 79. I was 16/17 at the time and this was at a nightclub, so in order to get in, me and Tony wore suits with waistcoats to make us look older. The bouncer just looked at us an said, "don't do anything stupid". He knew we were there just to see the band. We did down a couple of ciders :) but didn't go crazy. Got to go backstage and I had all members sign 4 singles I had with me down the front of my pants (including Banana splits in yellow vinyl - still have it.)

[@bluerocker5563]

One of the truly great American Punk Bands!

[@marklechman2225]

Dawn of the Dickies will never die. Classic from front to back.👍

[@petertopham5936]

I saw these Guys in 78 in Sheffield England. Absolutley fantastic. Got to meet Stan Lee in the audiance before their slot. Great night

[@YaWantTaters]

I keep wondering if that's his real name. I know lots of people that get famous don't want their personal life impinged upon so they only publicize a pseudonym. That's so good that you got to go to a Dickies concert. Did any other bands play the same stage that night?

[@YaWantTaters]

Know who I got to see from your part of the planet: Sham 69 and GBH , very excellent! 🍻 S69 opened for Bad Religion and GBH with Murphy's Law🥳😬😵‍💫😄 They were 2 separate nights and venues.

[@andysandel9325]

Absolutely Brilliant Outstanding Footage The Dickies are still my Favourite Punk Band to this day

[@2000madi2000]

I have watched this many times and I thank you many times.

[@independent3898]

What great quality. First time I saw them was 83 at the Galaxy Roller Rink in Fullerton! Saw them again at Olympic Auditorium, Fenders, Country Club, Cypress College and Roller Dome in Placentia!!! One of the best bands to see live!!!! Do it before they are gone for good!!!!!!!!!

[@stevenmartinez438]

Independent I didn't go to see them, but you were local then. I saw Social Distortion at Ichabods in Fullerton 84, I loved the local scene then, The Dickies were one of my favorites

[@renemies78]

Any vintage footage of the Dickies is awesome to me! Thanks for sharing

[@troyclayton]

Gotta say- The live video and the studio tracks line up nicely. Gotta love The Dickies. Just those hollow pauses between songs... I do feel 16 again. So good!

[@colico14]

First time hearing this. This is great! Why weren't these guys bigger?

[@cinerama5]

Leonard is not f-ing around, he's got this

[@chrisbwidney]

Seen them alot in the 80s...great band great times

[@GDALY-bm5nj]

To all the young punk rockas carrying the cause and the to the veterans who know this from their experience-if you have to decide on a band to see live and The Dickies are in that mix -just remember "you cannot go wrong with seeing "The Dickies"! If I could I would personally guarantee that with a refund!

[@guzzilee9757]

Nice punk i like

[@GDALY-bm5nj]

Right on Leo! I'm sure The Dickies would like to hear of that!

[@GeordieHandle]

Im 18, loved the dickies since i was little due to my dad being a fan. Cant wait to see them for the first time in July.

[@shaunwhitewood5477]

Hi mate been fan since early 80's and im going to Notts in July, first time ive seen them

[@ryanc.demint4923]

I’m 17, My band and I have played some shows with The Dickies before and they definetly kill it live! One of my favorite bands of all time.

[@stinkintoad]

The best punk band ever hands down. Such an influence on my teens.

[@DR-xt9ux]

Dead Boys than the Dickies

[@DaveAnchovies]

Neither, but both great...just not as great as Angry Samoans. Girl, you know it's true...

[@DaveAnchovies]

Dead Boys < Pagans

[@vlimmenveterinaryservices5657]

Mofo's killing it!!

[@davidsuper2158]

Toy Dolls, The Dickies and Doggy Style. One of the most memorable nights of my life! So good!

[@AndrewBarrett-x8r]

Great lineup... Olga from the Toy Dolls played with the Dickies for a while later on.

[@My1957Stratocaster]

For those wondering who Trisha Toyota is....She was a newscaster in So Cal on NBC 4 evening news. Glad I grew up in So Cal during this period. It was great.

[@elderlypoodle9181]

Yes! My dad was in love with her. I remembered playing this song for him back then. He loved it. Trisha was beautiful.

[@TheRealPontificator]

First heard the Dickies in '79...a cover of Black Sabbath's "Paranoid". Been a fan ever since. The 'We Aren't The World" CD is the bomb!

[@pedroswindler]

Love the Dickies! Tricia Toyota is one of my all time fave tunes

[@hansmoser989]

saw them five times in berlin....one of the greatest "punk-rock"-musicians/actors. genuine. h.m.

[@CRASS06]

3 people have no clue, or take things to seriously, Dickies, Punk but lighter side of it. Bit of fun. Love em.

[@dannyinaus]

they are butt hurt Green Day fan boys

[@cathleenkerby1792]

Love these guys! LA'S Ramones...this video is great, but there are sound lag problems...happy to watch anyway!

[@chazworm3]

My band Earth, Worm, &, Fire was literally a Dickies tribute band based in eastern KY. hmmm can't figure out why we never made it.

[@YaWantTaters]

What's the bandmates' names from Left to right: Stan, Leonard, ________, ________ and the drummer's name is _________ ? and: was this all the first people in the group? Pardon that I didn't know but these guy's first years somewhat preceded me. much Dickies 💜

[@stephenflasch141]

Carlos cabelllero

[@jd112070]

And, These are some of my all time fave songs all in a row. Great job.

[@marcfedak]

"You Drive Me Ape" is not only a great melodic punk tune, but this video is very entertaining as well. Thanks for posting this Rockshort.

[@underdone82]

Wow! Where has this been hiding? I thought I'd seen all the old Dickies videos. Thanks for uploading.

[@Lel_DeLor]

Awesome vintage footage. You gotta keep this on forever

Loved the Dickies for decades. Great songs.

[@brianjeram7953]

I have seen them about 15 times, awesome band, they are clearly miming here tho

[@ME-ru4hv]

i swear I've never seen that tension right before they play like they're getting psyched up to jump of a cliff or something!

[@Mr.Steve-O]

Seen The Dickies 5-6 times between 1979 and 1982, and I always said that a match made in heaven would have been The Dickies and The Buzzcocks on the same bill,, that would have been unreal

[@DaveAnchovies]

Dickies brought the goods live in the early 00's...live, still tear it up.

[@victorborg7285]

Who's listening new years eve 2018? Great band

[@bioforge2200]

This the first post Chuck Line up - With Steve Hufstetter and Lorenzo Buhne so this must have been filmed November 1981

[@oiyabastard5360]

Bioforge. you know your dickies

[@Druffmaul]

When I first read 'Steve Hufstetter' I thought "Whoa... Human from the Vandals was in the Dickies?!" and had to go look up Human's last name. =P

[@Brewzerr]

Yep. This was the line-up the first time I saw them, in either late '81 or early '82. Hufsteter is an amazing guitarist. Having him up there with Stan gave it that extra something. Would have loved to have seen them with Chuck Wagon, but it was right after he killed himself.

[@AndrewBarrett-x8r]

R.I.P. Chuck Wagon

[@AndrewBarrett-x8r]

This is the Cuckoo's Nest!!!

[@Jim-u7s]

Unfortunately I did not get to see these guys. I was looking forward to Them playing at Knotts berry farm.they were set to play there at 11:00am and again at 6:00 pm....BUT there first showing was so good..The family oriented Knotts berry farm canceled the one at 6:00pm. Cause it was to rowdy for there liking..of course that was the show I paid to not see at 6:00..I was told they are awesome live..never got to see 4 myself😢

The Dickies ~ Raw Footage (5 songs) 2313pm 11.12.22 wot yer listening to there is two siblings arguing circa 1979... about one of them kicking the other's head in when he gets older. whether that was a literal or psychological kick-in is for one to ponder, i suppose. no idea why the long pauses as they're only miming...

[@TheLarryburns84]

it's sad that Chuck is nowhere to be seen. this band is so fun. I love them

[@realmictienken]

Chuck had passed away before this was shot.

[@stevebauer3355]

Ain’t that chuck in the video on second guitar?

[@YaWantTaters]

@@stevebauer3355 That's Steve Huffsteter , I hope I spelled his name accurately. He was also in the supergood band The Quick. He wrote the song "Pretty, Please Me". There's songs in youtube by The Quick ,you should listen👍

[@teddysaginaw9101]

Saw them at Perkins palace with missing persons and the busboys on the same bill. Good times

[@briankehew579]

Looks like raw footage from the Rocky Road Show, a local LA cable show that had cool bands like Missing Persons.

[@MrHarpette]

The sound is exactly the same as the studio versions so obviously it's lip-sync, too bad. Very nice footage though.

[@tomburns70]

There biggest & most fun, they were a fun band, never taken seriously and had some talent "You drive me Ape" was there 15 minutes in the 🌞. I wish they had more...?

[@elderlypoodle9181]

My son saw them last year and he and his girlfriend said they sound the same now . 2020... Live

The Dickies ~ Raw Footage (5 songs) 2308pm 11.12.22 i wasnt aware he topped himself. i was always told he converted to christianity or something.. like dylan. maybe that's what being dead means? sad... anyhow; yeah good band great music.

[@12wurst34]

@@JJONNYREPP On the evening of June 5, 1981 after a Dickies show in Topanga Canyon, California and deeply depressed about the end of his relationship with his girlfriend, Wagon returned home and shot himself in the head with a .22 rifle at his parents' San Fernando Valley home.[2][3][4] He died in a hospital the following morning at the age of 24.[3]

[@nuwavedave]

LA was where it was all happening. NYC had CBGB's and Max's Kansas City. We had Rodney Bingenheimer on KROQ-FM and Bomp Records' retail store on Laurel Canyon Blvd., where all the Punk bands met on Saturday afternoons. Punk clubs were springing up all over LA and Orange Counties: The Masque, Club 88, Cukoo's Nest, Madame Wong's (East & West), Hong Kong Cafe, Atomic Cafe, Perkin's Palace, the Viper Room, and dozens more. For my money, The Dickies, from the San Fernando Valley (Home of too many Valley Girls - or "Vals") were the most original, melodic, and over-the-top bands of the era.

[@scottbrettschneider9782]

The Olympic Theater, The Vex, The Starwood, Golden Bear.. Saw the Dickies twice at the Starwood 1980/81, it seems like a dream.
