Bon jovi is in the rock and roll hall of fame and the Cramps aren't....is a travesty of justice if there ever was one. The Cramps are one of the definitions of rock and roll.
😂 I think it was established a long time ago that the hall of fame has literally nothing to do with rock n roll. Motorhead were nominated once and they didn't get in. I just ignore it now. 😁
@@rocket69218 it's a private club for rich snobs. It's cooler to NOT be inducted.
The RNRH has over looked many bands and it just does have the balls.
The Cramps eat those dorks for breakfast
The RnRHOF is an outright joke ...Maiden , Priest and even Alice in Chains are still not in yet they put on Biggie and Mary J Bligh seriously WTF...
Poison Ivy should be rated in the Best 50 Guitarists of all time ....She never gets the recognition she deserves ...
True story
ABSOLUTELY!!!
Absolutely agree
Incredible timing throughout.
The honest Red Head that picks and strums.
take a moment to feel compassion for the present and future generations who will never see the Cramps live.
Saw them live twice on back to back nights, the shows were insanely great
I probably saw them ten or so times. So lucky.
My biggest regret
The finest Rock and Roll band I've seen in my 63 years. I keep one of Lux's harmonicas inside a biohazard baggie in my nightstand drawer. No lie. :o)
I want t know you but maybe its best I don't..
Never meet your idols.
how much ya want for it? 😏
I’m sorry : (
My mate has his jacket after going to a club with him and ivy after a gig 🍻🍺♠️
I agree, I've seen so many shows and The Cramps are the best show I have ever seen hands down.
Life was so much fun when The Cramps graced the planet...
I was dragged along to a Cramps gig in Perth, West Australia circa '84/85 and til this day remains the BIGGEST surprise of my concert going career. they were INCREDIBLE!
What was his last outfit of the night? I saw them at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver and he stripped to a tiger-print g-string. I was at the edge of the center stage and was repeatedly covered with drops of Lux's sweat. I considered it a benediction.
My God, I was there too. Though I went voluntarily! @Conn30Mtenor I remember Lux stripped down to a g-string and women's heels and lay on the monitor stack - it was a crazy, crazy gig.
Извините . Я не могу повидать мир . Я живу в России . Говорят Австралия очень красивая . Я видел только видео и фото . Мне не понятно почему вы ходите на руках и почему у вас все по другому .
I remember seeing The Cramps as the opening band for Siouxie and the Banshees at the Hollywood Palladium California concert in the early 80s and The Cramps stole the show!!! Lux Interior was a crazy man bouncing and jumping around on stage! After the Cramps finished their great performance about 1/3 of the audience left!
RIP Lux! 🪦🌹Feb. 4, 2009. 🌹
I saw the HooDoo Gurus opening for the Bangles in SLC in 85. Another show stealing opening band.
@@user-bq4un2zx1s I saw The Rollins Band open for The Red Hot Chilli Peppers and well over half the audience just left two songs into the Chilli's set. We all went to the bar and Henry just told stories and gags for two hours. Brilliant night.
🥳
@@user-bq4un2zx1s Saw Died Pretty blow the Bad Seeds off stage one night. You should never allow brands better than you to open for you.
Sounds like a good recording of Poison Ivy’s playing. Love how raw and distorted it gets. That feedback is gold! Super loud Fender amp and a hollow Gretsch. Magic!
Yes and as I posted above, that really impressed me at a young age compared to the more processed sound of other bands I liked
Sus influencias Gárage punk están claras con ese Fuzz sucio
List of bands I regret never seeing live: 1. The Cramps
I was lucky, saw 'em at First Ave. Unreal!
They were ever so good every time I saw them! Nice to their fans too in face to face.
Ivy is one of the most brilliant artists of all time. It's a shame she isn't more recognized because she is a fucking powerhouse.
I miss The Cramps live shows more than any other band I've ever seen. When Lux passed it hit hard. 🖤😿
Yeah, me too Jon. It was always something to look forward to and sometimes you would have to wait years to see them again. I'm still gutted I missed their last UK gig in London. I just couldn't get there at the time and obviously I didn't know it would be the last chance I would have. I learnt a valuable lesson there but it just made the feeling even worse.
Live in Cleveland I saw em
And got stranded because my ride wanted to date the base player
The
@@thomasweber9384 yeah.. I probably would have left you there too
@@psst...heyyou6508 😂
I’m 58 and just discovered the Cramps about 3 weeks ago and love them. I’m a total rock/metal guy and how I never heard of them before is strange. I guess better late than never!
Wow, haha better late than never I say! You have a lot of music to discover. I would highly recommend 'Off The Bone' as a good place to dive in.
LMAO...same experience here. I love this stuff...I get it.
@@TheDood71 What a great band! I’m so glad I found them.
Ever try out Hasil Adkins 🏄♂️
welcome to the feelings of music, real down and dirt music. first saw the CRAMPS play NYC live was Max's Kansas City, was located on Park Ave. south of 23rd Street. if i told you the exact address i would have to kill you. look it up on your own. better and safer that way. the Max's show was during early 1977. Miriam was drumming, Bryan Gregory was on guitar.
Brilliant! We will never have another music show like The Tube ever again. How sad!
What a fantastic frontman he was god bless him . The Cramps were everything a rock band should be and so much more . Thanks guys .
Poison Ivy is a real good guitar player. Queen of Rockabilly.
Sexy too
Lol yea sure. Her guitar playing is simple and kinda boring but if you never heard Rockabilly/Psycho or 50s rock n roll it's amazing i guess lol. I like the Cramps too but it's true.
She's brilliant! She aint no Jeff Beck - but who is!
@@BeeRumblin13 I've heard of the styles you mention, been a fan for 35 years now. The genius of Ivy's guitar playing is in the simplicity. She's not striving for difficult patterns or solo's, the guitar is just part of the song.
@@BeeRumblin134:59 imagine you’re a 15 year old boy standing at her feet seeing her play this live. Boring? No. Erect? Yes.
Ivy is the Queen of Rock and Roll... the best to ever strap on a six string electric guitar! Her and Fur Dixon made a hell of a tag team....
Pittsburgh, 1991, I think, definitely at Graffiti. Front row up against the center of the impossibly low stage there. Lux right in front of me, literally 3 inches away, wearing only lady’s panties and red glitter pumps, sweat pouring like rain from his practically naked body onto me.
It was soooo loud. I remember trying to tell my friend something. I had both hands cupped around my mouth and over his ear, screaming as loud as I could. Not only could he not hear me, but I couldn’t hear me. The only reason I knew I had to be loud was my throat was killing me afterward.
We will never get shows like these again. Everything is Disneyfied now and oh so freaking safe. These concerts were fun because you just knew that any moment it could all come off the rails and sweep you with it. But you didn’t care because…well you’re watching this video. You’ve GOT to know what I’m talking about!
I know.
Graffiti was pretty cool, though. North Oakland right by Anthony's Lounge and near The Cricket. I almost got in a fight with G Love and Special Sauce one night at Graffiti.
The Best of The 80s and why I miss it in soulless 2023
Wait until you get to 2024 mate. ☹️
The older I get the more I believe that The Cramps were one of the best, purest rock 'n' roll bands ever. I saw ten of the dates on the UK tour this performance was promoting, never the same twice. Magic. God's speed Lux and all my love to Ivy.
Yeah, they were amazing. Hard to believe we are coming up for ... what now.. 15 years? since Lux died and they were gone for ever. Glad we were there though mate, because there won't ever be a band like them again I don't think.
I saw them on 5 different occasions, they always were great live. The greatest punk rock band of all time.
I went to see The Cramps at the Ritzy in New York when I was about 18/19. I am 54 now and it is still the best, and wildest gig I ever went to. This is great, but by god, they are dialing it down for tv.
Saw them for the first time in San Diego in 1984. Still the best concert of my life! RIP Lux.
One of the most original bands ever. So so good
I owned this VHS tape way back when. I first saw these live performances on late night TV and bought the tape afterwards. This shit is still freaking amazing. It needs to be preserved at the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame as a historical record to never be forgotten.
Saw them live in Toulouse's Halle aux Grains on May 5, 1986. The support band was the Primevals. I still have the ticket. The Cramps were extremely popular in France. Still are.
J'y étais.
J'ai la chance de les avoir vu au Pied en 80 à l'Isle Jourdain, avec Bryan Gregory à la deuxième guitare.
Ils y sont repassés en 84
Les trois concerts étaient magistraux.
In my sixty plus years I’ve maybe heard handful of their songs and never seen a performance. Really sorry I missed them and happy I can view these classic performances online now❤
Edinburgh Empire 1986, great gig and venue.
No other band had the sound of The Cramps.
The Tube was always a fantastic start to the weekend back in the 80,s.
This brings back great memories! Saw them in Detroit over 40 years ago and almost had our heads lopped off when Lux swung the mic stand at us in the front row when he said, "You better duck, goo goo muck!" Still alive to tell the tale...
🩶 my favorite band live!! Theres is no other like them nor will there ever be!! Absolutely amazing!! I miss Cramps so much !! 🖤
I saw the ramps like 10 times. They never let me down. They were always amazing to see and hear. Even towards the end when the show got kind of formulized.....it was still an amazing show each and every time. Poison Ivy flipped me off ywice......lovingly. haha. She wasn't overly friendly with fans. But Lux was. What a super nice guy. Bryan Gregory was my boss at a porno store in 94. One of my first ever jobs. He was also incredibly cool. Long live the Cramps! No other band gives me such warm fuzzy nostalgic feelings like they do. Sweet upload
Would that be in Bell Gardens California???
@@duncecap65 what was in Bell Gardens? My job? Close.....Garden Grove.
@@chainsawbarbarianyes we'll said about such a original proper band , they were the rockabilly & punk & psychobilly with the lead singer who looked like cross between Dracula and Herman Munster !! They were epic and a processed all my teenage years and to this day !!! Cramp it up 🎸🎤🎶🎶🎶🎶❤️
Kind of formulized at the end of the show?
What do you mean formulized?
I never heard of the ramps
Absolutely marvellous! Thanks for posting. Their best line up. Nick Knox & Fur Dixon driving it all the way, Poison Ivy playing over the top & the finest front man ever, the one and only Lux Interior. How they are missed😢
Of all the times the Cramps played in Cleveland, I never went. I have no idea why. I started to listen to them in 1989, just before Stay sick came out. Even had a girlfriend who went to see them all the time back then. Just didn't think they were hard enough. Boy, I was a such a moron back then.
My pal had this on VHS - he recorded it off the the telly live - and we watched it so, so many times. It inspired us to form our own band! Never realised there was extra footage. Amazing.
Yeah, I was amazed too. It had been some of the best cramps footage for.... damn over 35 years, then this fell in my lap and I couldn't believe it. So much better quality than I had before too.
50 years old and never knew.saw the shirts.saw the flyers and never listened.These guys obviously influenced a ton of my favorite bands yet none of them have THIS sound.They are some monsters.will be downloading whatever I can find immediately.
That's awesome, enjoy!
Great Scott!!! I did not realise Poison's guitar playing was just so spirited, epic and on point!!!
Despite hearing of the Cramps in 1978 I never paid them much attention , until a bloke I worked with told a few years back how he saw them on stage in B'ham UK about 84 and Lux had a Barclay's , a Thomas the Tank, a Wankel Rotary Engine on stage in.....
the Town Hall. Lol. I was sort of ‘disgusted’ but , you know ‘drugs’; living that proper rock life Ugh.etc
She gets that discordant pent up scratchy anarchic Beefheart cranking sound.
Great footage thank you! I had the pleasure of seeing the Cramps in 91/92 in Brussels for the Look Mom No Head tour!
I wore a pirate flag bandana on my head. standing at the first row, Lux grabbed it from my head, put it on his and poses with a pensive look on his face. Then he threw it back in the crowd, but the guys in the audience kindly passed it on back to me. I do not think I ever washed it since then, still in my drawer, ha ha!
Then outside, spotted them on their tour bus. I was waving wildly, smiling like an idiot at a pointedly disdainful Poison Ivy. When the bus started, she aggressively put her tongue out at me for half a sec, I could not help laughing. what good memories, what a show, what a band! too bad I lost the tour poster I had on my bedroom wall for years. Immortal daring and pioneers of their own dark rock n roll sound!
I will never forget them!😁🕸
if you like this you might like my brothers music. His name is Stu Morris
My mate went to see them back in 81 somewhere in London came back raving about them , now I'm watching for the first time , fanbloodytastic
I was 14 when this aired and I recorded it on the video recorder and played it till it didn't work anymore! I was so enamored of them all. Especially by Lux.
Lux and red wine ..rock n roll. Saw them s few times and one of the best live acts ever. Sorely missed
this is THE BEST Cramps line-up by far. Lux and Ivy are rockin' with that primal drum beat and bass driving it all. Thanks for posting this!
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
agreed...Fur Dixon was a perfect fit!!! Nick and Fur together laid such a bedrock foundation for Lux & Ivy to be themselves at the rawest / best level.
If I could go back in time- The Cramps would be my first stop. Good grief I miss seeing them😢
Me too, my friend, me too.
Same...
Top Rank Suite, Brighton, 1986, I'm 15, this band blew my mind live. Lux dressed as above, drinking wine from the bottle no hands, climbing everywhere, eventually he collapsed wasted. The best fun ever.
'no hands'?
When I saw them Lux smashed that bottle and was rolling around on the shards. Blood everywhere!
Such a great band....sadly never saw them live. This vid has great sound and the visuals are awesome. This goes to show that early rock and country (rockabilly) is as hard edged as any punk rock from Orange County in the 80's. I think this has more stamina and legs then 90% of the punk rock ever performed. Legends.
What a good rare item, thanks for sharing🙂
Yeah, thanks man. I was surprised when this turned up. I can't take any credit for it really (someone sent it to me) but it needs sharing for fans. I had no idea it even existed until this year!
Thanks Scot and Simon!! This was my favorite band in 1986
@@theAxehound Thanks a million for turning me onto this mind-blowing glittery velvet freakout, Hound Man! Haha, Ivy's snarl at 3:16...
@@Susie_Floozie, you got it!
These two channels are both grrrrrrreat
I`ve only ever seen the first half and had no idea of its existence it's been a 37yr wait but oh so worth it.
Classic! The masters of shockabilly at their sleaziest magnificence!
I can remember watching this live back in the day, love it.
Saw them later that same night at the mayfair in newcastle, I'd crewed on their gig in leicester the week before & seen them & rode 220 miles each way in crappy british weather on my bike to see them again, so glad I did it was an even better gig. RIP Lux.
I like your dedication
Bikes!!!
Southern Californian kid here (62- I think) anyhow, my introduction to the Cramps was from a Goodwill find almost a decade ago …. 2- albums in shrink. I listened to the first tracks the next day or so and quickly realized “ Whoa ! WTF! “ Got floored - got slammed- got Luxed hard- seeing this alive UK footage I realized that I missed that Cramp runaway psycho Train -when it came roaring through the station sucking at the train platform -but those 2-records I do believed were destined to me… cheers, and many thanks from “ Aloha from Hell”..
Straight up dirty rock n roll. It simply doesn't get any better than the Cramps. RIP Lux, Bryan and Nick. They don't make em like you anymore! True originals.
absolutely!
We could do with the tube and the cramps more than ever.
This was peak Cramps! "Shake that thing I'll buy you a diamond ring!" Haha!
Watched The Tube every week. Great live music from The Cramps, The Alarm, The Tubes, Motorhead, Frankie, Spear of Destiny, Twisted Sister, The Mission. Got into loads of different stuff from watching it. I might still have some on VHS! The eighties rocked
Some of the greatest nights of my life started with a Cramps show… I miss it so.
I was in the audience that day. this is the 1st time I've seen the full 20min set since. thank you for posting..
That's so cool, it was crazy when I found this... I never even knew that more existed. I don't think anyone did other than those that were there like you!!
I had the honor of seeing the Cramps down in New Orleans years ago, and Lux did something on stage with his teeth that was just the coolest thing I ever did see.
Which was??
This IS rock and roll in it's purest. Just wonderful.
I told Fur Dixon in a TH-cam comment on her channel that I loved her performance on the Tube and she actually replied. I think she said “Thank you, you’re very sweet.”
That's awesome! ....love Fur, she's great.
RIP to this band. But they will live forever as legends. We love you!
FANTASTIC!!!! AS USUAL!!!!
THE ONLY AND ONE THE CRAMPS!!!!!
RIP LUX 🖤💎
Thank you. Timeless cultural heritage.
Great show. As far as I remember this show went out at teatime, unbelievable for the time it was let go. But like the Smiths performance on the Tube, this is one of those memorable iconic TV memories.The Cramps were just awesome, stripped down, sleazy rock n roll, I mean that guitar is just pure Buddy Holly. Fond memories of the Tube.
Yup 5pm on a Friday. I'm pretty sure it was the inspiration for TFI Friday that was on 6pm on a Friday and kind of the same thing with live bands etc in the 90's. Channel 4 was pretty great back then with a lot of 'daring' content.
Thanks for putting this up, an incredible performance
@@marcusoutdoors4999 you are welcome, glad you enjoyed it. 👍
Oh good Lord. This is precious. Thank you.
Smiling the whole way through this!
My first ever blind buy was The Cramps....Smell Of Female LP 👍👍👍
Great album but I'm trying to find my wighat

You've certainly got good taste 👍
Mine too
Just fantastic, incredlble , some big Cramps , they all play and sing as well they could , lt is cult for ever...Lux was a great , great showman and we can't forget him .
It is so good to hear the Cramps again, totally forget about them for 35 years 😮
😳
Never saw them live, but loved their records when played on KALX and KUSF in the 80s. Nice to see Lux likes to keep hydrated on stage.
One of the best bands ever , seen then about 4 times- love it xxxxxxxxxx
I had the good fortune to see The Cramps three times in the 1980s. Their live performance at the now-defunct Hammersmith Palis in early 1984, has to be the most demented set
I've ever witnessed. Lux Interior was the love child of Iggy Pop and Elvis circa 1956. He was a fabulous frontman. He is up there now with Elvis, Gene, etc having a great time. RIP
I saw this footage when it was first shown. How time has flown?
I saw them a few times on that tour in the UK in 1984. At the Hacienda and twice at the Palais. On one of the Palais dates, Lux landed next to me when he jumped into the audience during She Said. He would point the microphone to me and other audience members next to me so that we each got to shout "She Said" straight into the mic. I was about 17/18. I have a vague memory of Lux stripping down to nothing by the end at least on one of those Palais dates as well.
Such a good memories! The Cramps, The Gunclub, Alan Vega, Lydia Lunch. And this is an epic gig! Thanx for uploading!😎✌️🫶
Saw all those acts, barring Lydia Lunch. They were all great.
Another mid-50s Cramps virgin here. I subscribe to Guitar World and several months back they had a variant cover and the one I got was with Poison Ivy on it. I read her interview and was fascinated by how she insisted on rejecting the Chuck Berry element that was prevalent in punk soloing styles and went hard into the rockabilly/surf aspects of the early rock era. I definitely see now what she meant. Love bands that can channel controlled raw-sloppy-dissonant-feedback yet somehow held together by a loose-tight rhythm section. Definitely see a lot of Iggy Pop in Lux's performance. A fun watch for sure. Thanks for posting this, Simon, an eye-opener for sure.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Saw them at Club Iguanas in TJ Mex. back the 80s. Cadillac Tramps opened for them. Such a great show! I listened to the
Cramps years before this show, but had no idea what a great frontman Lux was. Nothing like them, and no one will ever replicate the Cramps.
Rock on!
The Cramps came to Australia around the same time. What a show, what a band and what a night that was. R.I.P Lux.
Brilliant 👏👏👏👏👏
Saw the Cramps first time in the late 70’s…..lasting memory of Bryan Gregory playing his Flying V guitar & gobbing his cigarette into the crowd n hitting a bloke on the head … while Lux jumped off stage & ‘walked’ over the crowd !!!!………I’m also pretty sure Ivy was playing bass at this gig !
Nice upload folks 👍
Awesome, thanks for commenting. This TV appearance was the first time I ever saw them (other than on the covers of the records!) Have some great memories of some great gigs afterwards though.
This is amazing footage!
Thanks for the upload 🙏💜
I miss them so much 😭
RIP Lux 🙏❣️
You're welcome .... yeah, I miss them too. The day we lost Lux, the realisation I'll never get to see them again or hear a new album was crushingly depressing.
@@rocket69218 I feel that same 😪
💜
Thank you for posting this. It’s a really good recording.
thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it.
Just found your channel and I love the Cramps. Cool performance footage. Thank you!
Thanks!
Those heavy drums the backbone of the cramps, nick knox. R I P.
I still have my metal Cramps badge from my old leather jacket from back in the 80s. The jacket died but the badge lives on, just like their incredible music.
Gotta love the Gretsch guitar, rock n roll
Watching from Greece.hi everybody.
One of my favorites bands of all times. All time classic.thank you mr Simon G for the upload.
Wow! This is very rare indeed. The cramps were / are always on point. Great set. Thx for uploading. RIP Lux
No worries, glad you enjoyed it!
I appreciate their music and their impact on Rock and Roll history a lot more now, than I did back in the 80's. Looking back, I wrote them off as more of a novelty act, instead of getting into them more..
I think in the history of the world these people have a spot.
Timeless band, hope Ivey is doing well. Great presentation thanks mate 👍
Much appreciated Simon G. Great content. Cramps always put on a brilliant show even when crowd a bit dead.
Thanks so much for uploading this. It's incredible.
No problem, you are welcome.
Hands down the best thing I've seen this year. Thank you.

Don’t you just love The Cramps soooo vooooodooo
I saw this tour in Australia. Thank the gods for the Cramps
Purée sa présence incomparable son jeu de guitare phénoménal c'est quelque chose et ça s'enchaîne magnifique. Merci the cramps.
One of my favorite 80s bands. Basically the mad dentist character from Little Shop of Horrors musical, fronting the best kitsch punk band of all time. 🤘
Remember watching this on the Tube!-Marvelous stuff-thanks for the upload and extra tracks-brilliant !! ☠
Thanks for watching! Great memories for many of us. :)
Welcome to the movement, our friend. I saw the short performance live. Friday night, on the way to work. Changed me as much as Motörhead did.
This was the first year I saw them, 1986 at The Channel. It was a pretty ferocious crowd and my shirt got torn off into the first song.
I saw them at The Channel in Boston in 1986, too!
@@mikericciuti5996 I think it was a Friday night then we went to Spit!
Probably same tour---Mid 80's Concert Hall Toronto, it was so hot, Lux slipped off a size 11 Stiletto, lifted it up and poured about a 1/4 cup of sweat out into his mouth. Talked to Nick Knox after the show while he was striking his kit, gave him some hash. Great times!
@@jamesn5595 "Gave him some hash" hahahaha that is awesome!!!!!
I really needed them at the time. They got me through it. What a band!
Ive watched Like a Bad Girl Should a million times, so I knew what Ivy was capable of. Still, when the video was reaching its end point i was like son of a bitch, is that her!? She makes that guitar sound AMAZING. Loved this. Thanks for the upload 👍
How many times did i see the Cramps, well, every time. Quintessential r&r kids.
