One night before he made himself non diserable after sleighting Eddie Barclay by coming on to his girlfriend. The Blockheads' career in France was over.
I have seen hundreds of bands live but none come close to being at a blockheads gig. Pure class
+John David Back then Sir Elton John said, "Ian has the best backing band in London". I think so Sir John.
Look over "SUMO" from argentina the frontman is a genius

Glastonbury 1985...what a night with the band

Wilko on Sweet Gene Vincent....freakin' amazing.
Wilko was never happier than when he was a Blockhead!!
The Poet Laureate of Rock ‘n’ Roll.
I've always thought of his lyrics as poetry👍
There is nothing around like this anymore
Ian Dury & the Blockhads are amazing!!!!!
Who are the Blockhads?
What a gig!
Getting deep down and sweaty, good for the immune system!
Awesome music and lyrics.
And Norman with hair!
God bless the blockheads
Dear god, how good were they !

I saw Ian Dury at the Palace Park London in 1981 very good gig and a good day out nice one Paulas
saw them at hammersmith.fabulous live band.
Let's hear it for Davey Payne, incomparable!! (and of course the rest of the band).
Ian's a great singer with a great band
When describing The Blockheads, "great" is such an understatement.
Ian thxs for the dance!
What a pity that they don't show a close up of Norman Watt-Roy's hands during "Hit me ..." in which he plays that outstanding bass line.
Splendide pièce d’archive ! Voilà un concert fichtrement revigorant. Merci.
I saw Wilko Johnson playing the Stratocaster for the first time....
Wilko and Norman - DAYEM!!!!!!
Stuff of Legend.
Super concert!!!
WOOOWW!!!!!!!! THANKS MAN
Wilko's having a great time there at 29.06, great to see him grinning like that!
Yea..a rare occurrence, the miserable sod....
Wow!
GENIAL. GRAN EPOCA DE ESTA SUPERBANDA. INSUPERABLES.-
Pour le voir sans lunettes, il faut attendre la 19eme minute ! Super (morceau) de concert !
Man, that bass player is a real wild man, so bug off!
also saw him when was in kilburn and the high roads
ça fait tellement de bien
26:16 listen for "shit / fuck /piss" he pulled away from the mike but no mistaking itfuckin IAN !!!!!
love the guy
Thank you xxxxx
Take me back. Take me back.
Perfect timing!!
loved it when Ian would outkool Bryan Ferry
It feels a bit weird seeing Wilko playing a Stratocaster and wearing a T-shirt...
From a time and place when the bands were original - todays crop of wannabees just pale in comparison ....
old ass
The first track was awesome. so I looked for it and found that amazing funk guitar was not on it. gutted, still a great track.
Svp, je cherche à connaître la date exacte de ce concert. Merci.

Yes, it's Dr Feelgood's 1st guitarist, Wilko Johnson, but he is English not Welsh, from Canvey Island in Essex 😎

Sex drugs and rock and roll. Then sex and drugs. Then just drugs. They had taken a lot by then.
Was there ever a bad Ian Dury and the Blockheads gig??
NO🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
Six people just don't get it.
One night before he made himself non diserable after sleighting Eddie Barclay by coming on to his girlfriend.
