- Looks like a clip from some English TOtP-type show, maybe fellow YT users can help me with this one. Either way, Dave and the boys run through Elvis Costello's "Girls Talk," apparently on the same rooftop where they shot a few 45 covers for Carlene Carter.

Dave Edmunds, a very accomplished vocalist and guitarist. anything with him and Nick Lowe in it is an instant classic. they were just so cool in the late 70s.
Without the drummer who is a wizard he keepsake the player s in beat .
"She may not be an old-fashioned girl but she's gonna get dated."
CLASSIC line!
All these years later this is still utterly gobsmacking.
+Ystadcop His voice is amazing, and they can PLAY
Very true love Rock Pile
30 years ago I was in college and this was killer. i'm 57 an it still kills
Dave Edmund wa's one of Lemmy's heros. Thumbs up!
Such a perfect little pop song, effortlessly and joyously played.
Yes. Didn't EC write this after overhearing some women gossiping about his anatomy?
It’s a hard song to play. Sneaky
The vocalist had a mature voice back then. Today, he maintains a crisp, clear diction, better than most of the golden oldies for his age. Under rated and underutilised. Raw sound would have been accepted among the classics of 1950's. 1979 was a remarkable year full of many one hit wonders. Timing!
Are you calling Rockpile a one hit wonder?
Honestly Rockpile made some of the most memorable pop records of that or any other era. Genius.
This song remembers me when I met my wife off 42 years now that was a tune indeed 👌 🏴
Rockpile could have been so much more than it was. You got an awful lot of talent standing on that stage.
+jasonwheel As well as Rockpile's Seconds of Pleasure album, check out Dave Edmunds' Repeat When Necessary album - it's the same Rockpile group, just under his name. Came out a little before the Rockpile album, IIRC Likewise with Nick Lowe's Labour of Lust album. So really, there are three damned good albums that Rockpile gave us....
Agreed...it seems a bit odd that the members of the band achieved more solo success than as members of the band itself. Great musicians, nonetheless. Cheers.
FOUR albums ! don't forget about Dave's 'Tracks on Wax'. It was also the same Rockpile lineup.
GREAT TALENT AND BAND ....REAL MUSIC....
right there Jason.jpj
I grew up as a kid in the late 70s and 80s listening to this on the radio, used to be a favorite song of mine and it still sounds great all these years later.
Great song.
It was in the charts in 1979.
It got to No. 4 in the UK and to no.65 on the US Billboard chart.
Dave's voice is brillllllllllllllliant! Great music!
One of the greatest pop songs. Love it.
Remember it well -brilliant. Edmunds did it like Costello should have done it - he misread his own song!
First of all the song by Elvis Costello is Revolver-era Beatles brilliant. But this is the arrangement that put it over the top. After all these years I'm honestly still in awe of it.
Hey Americansquirm,
The video was shot on top of the Warner Bros. off building overlooking Rockefeller Center Mid-town Manhattan. It was shot and directed by Martin Pitts and Produced by Derek Burbidge.
I cant agree more..im 46 and love Heavy Metal and Punk, but nothing compares to great music like this. BRING THEM BACK!!!
They were easily the best band in the world, by a wide margin.
Man, this song reminds me of my teens,
pimples,bad hair,and trying to pick up at the local roller skating rink.
Thankyou Dave,Nick,Billy and Terry.
Fond innocent times.
I had tickets for Rockpile - my greatest heroes back then - in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 1981.
I can still remember that horrible feeling when reading about the group splitting up and that the whole tour was cancelled... A major trauma.
Same here! Never got to see them play as a group, just saw them as solo artists.
Great version of a great song. Thank you so much for posting this.
Costello's genius is timeless.
All due respect to Costello -- this is the definitive version. A masterpiece. This video doesn't do it justice -- but stil. Thanks.
Awesome song, awesome band. well observed and ultimately singable
Lowe rockin' the 8 string bass- killer!
This was filmed on top of the Warner Brothers Records Building in Manhattan, near the Rockefeller Centre.
Yes, when they cut to Nick, behind him I recognize one of the Rockefeller Center buildings.
Kick ass job on the bass by Nick
Just love this song......for those in Australia I can still remember sitting watching Countdown when he and Nick Lowe performed live. He sang this song and Nick performed Cruel to Be Kind.
Rockpile! My, how I loved these fellows back in the day. God bless 'em.
Heard this song on the radio at work today for the first time in forever. Still sounds great.
This is one of my favourite pop songs of all time. I just bought this album about 2 years ago cuz I heard this track in a wine bar somewhere in London and thought, what a perfect song.
I know this sounds crazy but this is my song of 2023 - brings back memories ! cheers lads
Dave Edmunds (vocals, guitar), Nick Lowe (vocals, bass guitar), Billy Bremner (vocals, guitar) and Terry Williams (drums).
Billy Bremner not the footballer is it
The Best.
I am in love with Dave Edmunds,FOREVER! ❤
So Many Memories Thank s Dave and Nick lowe 😊
This record changed my life. Love the twangy guitars!
So old skool. Better than the stuff these days
Just magic ,real music from a great musician.How lucky i have been to live through these times.Many thanks for posting.
Amazing Tune ! Written by 'Elvis Costello' , the Bass player is 'Nick Lowe, who had an amazing solo career as well as producing the first LP by 'The Damned' ! Loads going on here! dx
Also the great Terry Williams on drums. . . played with Dire Straits for some years. Worth seeing him on the 'Alchemy Live' album. . . .great drumming.
Note the Drummer...The great Terry Williams who went on to drum with Dire Straits and Meatloaf..Top Man!!1
Sooooo loved this song when i was 14.....
Nothin like REAL MUSIC ...rock on dave!
Great song and done well by Dave Edmunds. I particularly like the tribute to the Everly Brothers by using chords used by the Evs in their song 'Problems'.
..Exactly!! A great pick-off, observation..and also Bird Dog!! Saw Edmunds on Letterman one night, he pulled this avant-guarde chord change out of no where!! Recognized it..Thnx!
After years and years still thrilling to hear
Whos that dead good looking (cept the nose) guy on the drums???? lol
Terry Williams legend!
A legendary pub rock drummer.....love ya dude!
Nov. 1980, The Agora in Cleveland. Thank You. First time in a bar as an 18 yr old, and it changed my life.To prove it, Moon Martin opened.
He also was drummer for Dire Straits after Pick Withers.
Ha Ha!! Caught a good chunk of Alchemy on TV some weeks ago. Brings back great memories!!
I was lucky enough to see these guys in Manchester UK around 1980 - great!
Please show this to all modern kids who want to be in the music industry absolute brilliant 👍👌
heres my input.... this song has played constantly in my head for 3/4 of my life.
Just wonderful ! pure rock and roll songstering !
I was late to work today and forgot the lipstick and powder. This song popped right in my brain and I HAD to hear it. Loved this song for a million years.
This has always been my fav' by Dave Edmunds. I find it hard to keep still to this & I felt the same in 1979 when I was 11. His 1st hit was a remake of Smiley Lewis's 1955 song I Hear You Knocking which was his biggest of 12 hits & 1 of 4 top 10s. This Dave's 5 & 2nd biggest reaching number 4 on 30th-June-79. He & Elvis Costello were right, boy can they talk & talk & talk & talk.......... & at the end of it all they have said nothing!!!
A popular song from my childhood.Still a great song.
The “Perfect” Band….always great songs, each member is equally great, no one steps on the others’ parts, always tasty pkying.
Saw them as a. Warm up act to Blondie they absolutely blew them away!
Oh what could have been
Rockpile may be the greatest group that few ever heard of!!
Didn't know this was written by Elvis Costello 'till years later. Lovely feel to it. Very 1979.
The lost days of real talent. God! How I miss the sixties.
1979
Filmed on top of the Warner Brothers Records Building in Manhattan and shown on TOTP. If you listen closely at the beginning you can hear a bit of Jimmy Savile introducing it.
Just love it
All their songs
Even the one they had a wedding.nicks wedding brillant.
So funny and cute girl a knock out in that dress
Boy he had fun on his wedding night.
Seem to remember watching this on Multi-Coloured Swap Shop (?) with Noel Edmonds presenting on a Saturday morning and then going around to a friend's house and talking about what a great song this was. Surprised they didn't go bigger
They actually had recording contract conflicts and so they weren't allowed to really tour as Rockpile much.
If they'd been given free range and full support? Indeed, they would have been huge, and they do still have a strong cult following.
quarantine? no problem with great tunes like this
Great song, really changed how I looked at (or, listened to) music back then.
i have just discovered this band and this song and i'm pretty much happy that i did!melodies,voice,music...everything fits just nice!
Great, Love Dave Edmunds. Have not heard this for years. Thanks again.
Brilliant cover of an Elvis Costello song.
There is popular music, and there is good music. Sometimes music can be both, but not all that often. This is good music..
love the Everly Brothers nod throughout! These guys make me so happy!
whooooooooaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!
amazing song from a golden era , well done dave.
The production in this song is Godlike
Got that right!! Takes me back and makes me smile.
Saw these guys in Vancouver,probably around 1979. They were great. So's this video.
If you don't own any Edmunds albums, get yourself copies of "Get It," "Tracks on Wax," and "DE 7th." Rock at its most basic and wonderful. Thanks, Dave!
and while at it get Nick Lowe's album too Labour of Lust
Rock on drummer! ....Ah the Agora - East18th - Coffee Break Concerts - saw Joe Perry Project - saw Ramones one night - now a sad parking lot - drink beer and the hi-way entrance was 25 feet away. Perfect.
I agree a totally brilliant song .I love it. A very under rated artist
this could possibly be the best version of this song!
No question about it.
Real gutsy rock n' roll. God I miss those days.
This was on Dave Edmunds awesome solo record "Repeat When Necessary". The "Queen of Hearts" cover is on that album too. I wore that record out. As well as Rockpile's "Seconds of Pleasure" album. Both albums were released during the 1980's. But Dave, he was around since I was a kid in the 1970's. Damn good songs all those musicans played and sang and wrote (I'm also a big Elvis Costello fan too).
A song from my teen's,love it Rockpile were great
God, this song makes me feel so GOOD, no matter if it's Dave, Elvis, Linda...! Thanks so much for posting it!
This looks like the original promo clip...I've never to the best of my knowledge seen it before...this isn't just the best version of the song, but one of Dave/Nick/Rockpile's best ever...awesome post...thank you
Still wonderfull and something we pass to the kids! this is the deal!
I saw Dave Edmunds perform live earlier this year . In the audience was Terry Williams although he didnt perform. . I met them both separately in the theatre bar afterwards .I had taken along 3 albums for signing by Dave so having Terry there was a bonus. Dave refused to sign the Rockpile group LP although he did sign his own. ( Also there was Andy Fairweather-Low ). Terry told me there were `too many issues` for the original Rockpile ever to reform.
Still the best! I am pretty sure I saw them in Atlantic City late 70’s
I want to be as happy as Dave Edmunds!!!
I was 15 when that song was new Dave Edmonds had some cool tunes in the 70s and 80s.
In a just world DE is worshiped daily.
There is more talent on this roof than in just about 90% of the entire rapper population.
you meant 99.9% more.rap is an embarrassment to America-pure garbage.
Lol... very true.
To right
Rich Delgado,
Agreed! Some people call it music. I call it crap. Pure crap.
try 100%
Love this perfect pop song
Fantastic - thanks so much for posting this video - it takes me right back. I love the one where he's struttin round in his tight jeans to this too - ooooerrr! Cheers
Remarkable good rocksong ever!
@Dave Edmunds though it's an Elvis Costello composition, YOU rock and rule this song. Always did throughout the years! I used to sing this with my own band in the mid 80's..and the people loved it.👌
@Dave Edmunds and why should I feel the need to do so?
@Dave Edmunds well I dont! Just liked your music back then
It's not that you're old, it's that the 60's and 70's were the pinnacle of rock music. It's not like this anymore. Sad. I was 4 when this came out, and the fact that the best music was before my time bums me out.
the late 70s sure had a lot of good music. and this is some of it
Even though i got into punk in 78, i alway loved rockpile.
Go figure
What a great band Rockpile was! Great rock band name too!
One of my favs .....classic.
this is one of the best ever full stop
Well, I have been a fan of Dave since before I got my first pube. The guy can play and has a nice melodic voice. Of course "I Hear You Knockin" was the first song I heard. The Covers, Almost Saturday Night and Me And The Boys were great! I have the Anthology and love the Sabre Dance which is the flight of the bumble bee. Extremely talented, well rounded musician.
This is sooooooooo good even after so many years
What a great tune. Cheers!
With Nick lowe he made Some of his Own back Songs back then 👍😃🏴🇬🇧❤️
two of my idols playing nick lowe and dave edmunds
Great song by Dave Edmunds!!
Love this version of a great Costello song.
