The Skids - Rock Goes To College (BBC 1981)

[@BookimCrocker]

He really was the best guitarist of his generation.

[@scottishsimon67]

i was born in Dunfermline, Scotland and The Skids used to turn up in a van at lunchtime at school and play. Top band.

[@classicartfoundation639]

Wow, serious memories

[@Nessie2410]

Lucky U!

[@richarddavid8519]

Music that is still better than today's stuff! RIP Stuart.

[@vizzz6270]

God bless you Stuart...The greatest guitarist of our time..x

[@michaelmurphy2330]

The Absolute Game was a blinking excellent album!

[@nevetsgnil1962]

The skids awesome, days in Europa one of my all time favourite albums.

[@dickygriffiths3297]

I wanna go back to 81.

[@Youtube_deleted_my_favourites]

absolutely fucking brilliant, I'm living in the past but this is why

[@vizzz6270]

Stuart was the best guitarist/musician of the 70s,80s and 90s..Total class

[@MrAlexhollins]

Stuart was the best of the British punk and new wave guitarists.

[@MisterGee1968]

+Alex Hollins SPOT ON !!!! Legend - genius - Stuart Adamson.

[@johnsoutar5030]

He wasn't even the best SCOTTISH new wave guitarist - tied with John McGeoch. But the two of them were miles ahead of the rest. Both sadly gone now.

[@whssy]

Can't argue with that John. Between them, those 2 defined the guitar sound for 2 decades. Also had a lot in common stylistically. And drink fucked the pair of them up.

[@stephenbutler5805]

Echoing the thought's of everyone Stuart Adamson, up there with the great guitarist of all time.

[@andrewkirk5061]

Richard jobson & Stuart adamson, what a duo they were, woman in winter being a pure classic track. Grew up loving the skids along with the Jam.

[@gordonmckenzie4527]

How can that be 42 years ago ...Still sounds as good as anything out now ❤

[@yellowjackboots2624]

Holy shit, i think i've just found my new favorite band.

[@MisterGee1968]

[@ROOKTABULA]

Ahh yes! Blood and Soil! A favourite chance of right winger Neo Nazis. Like this lead singer twat. No wonder Stu bailed.

[@ravenousfeline]

amazing quality wish there was more. But still amazing x

[@Nessie2410]

This is probably the best quality vid of the gig! Great... ❤️ thanks for posting!

[@LarzGustafsson]

Absolutely brilliant!

[@footstompinleroyscott6892]

Fantastic band at a real high point in their career. The album "The Absolute Game" is a stoater (as we say in Scotland). Stuart Adamson without question the best of the new wave guitarists.

[@siddjames5170]

Well said leroy, a saw them that year London lyceum, fukin great

[@davidstobie2751]

[@Elodian]

[@parsleylionunk3235]

Rochester Castle ?

[@parsleylionunk3235]

Saw them the next night at the Red Cow

[@JoeNapf58]

Best ever ...

[@deeder2000]

These guys were excellent lyricists, very intellectual stuff - check it out! Also, RJ was a fantastic dancer, like as if he was an original Wigan Casino dancer!

[@Philmod68]

Awesome footage! For some reason....Stuart is reminding me a LOT(looks/clothing wise) of Paul Weller in this footage....

[@ROOKTABULA]

That singer, with his outfits and guitar as a fashion accessory: The definition of poseur.

[@apemoon1731]

He was one of the main songwriters. A poseur has no substance. Jobson has it coming out of his ears.

[@tammysilvey8036]

WOW. OMG. STUART JUST AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!! 😘

[@garymacmillan6401]

Going to the 40th reunion gig in Camden next year. Can't wait.

[@BlocksVideos]

@timj41 Sorry guys, this is all I recorded at the time. I am sure it will turn up on BBC4 at some point. Cheers Block

[@danielratner6810]

Cool to see Stuart playing keyboards. His last gig with The Skids?

[@khorrumg]

Skids were a cunundrum...came just after Punk explosion.....difficult to pigeon hole.....NOT Futurists/New Romantic....NOT that ridiculous term 'New Wave'.....I think they were truly Post Punk....Class

[@NeilThompson30]

Can't get Jobbo with a bloody guitar round his neck - get rid of it, man - you don't need it - Stuart Adamson is next to you for God's sake

[@ROOKTABULA]

Dude was a poseur.

[@siddjames5170]

Jobbo having a laugh

[@jondobs64]

he supported guitar parts while Stuart on keyboards - why criticise so quick??

[@permaveg]

Jobbo in his Lawrence of Arabia phase, lol.

[@user-pe1fb5uz6o]

В России тоже знают и любят эту группу!!!

[@DONNY2101]

Any chance of anyone burning this to a dvd?
