FANTASTIC. Still miss Stuart but wonderful to see his great friend Bruce and Bruce's son Jamie take on his guitar parts alongside the legend that is Richard Jobson.
This is beautiful, but it makes me want to cry when I think of the LATE GREAT Stuart Adamson. Who influenced Keith Levene and The Edge, two great guitarists.
“TV starts” is my favourite track by The Skids. Now, this is the best EVER Version of “Into The Valley”. Some of that guitar playing sent shivers up and down my spine. Bloody brilliant!
How I love The Skids! I heard "The Saints Are Coming" in 1979 and was totally hooked from that moment. Tons of brilliant songs to choose from but if I have to pick only one it's "Circus Games"...
Saw 3 of the six gigs they played in a week the first time they came down to London after I heard Charles being played the first time by John Peel....fantastic live band
Into the valley is fucking hilarious, after all these years I STILL can’t work out the lyrics! There was a great tv advert in the 80s for tdk it maxell cassette tapes with a guy holding up signs misinterpreting the lyrics to this song
@@something_in_the_radiator1665 It was a great night. I've seen Big Country many times down the years and while it's still great to see them Stuart left a hole that just can't be filled when he departed this world, may he rest in peace. First time seeing The Skids and they were fantastic. If you ever get the chance go see them, you won't be disappointed.
@@thomasdowdall3866 RIP Stuart. his voice and musical talent were unique, original, and irreplaceable. i'm glad both of these bands existed. Their songs paint pictures. They should always be remembered.
Have this on a 2 record EP along with many other Skids records, many happy memories of my teenage years. Used to listen to the practicing at the Saline community center on a Sunday Great Times
Loved the Skids wgen I was a kid though I couldn't understand a word RJ was saying. Had a huge crush on Stuart. Richard you look nicer now than when you were young
fu%c$ng brilliant I got the surprise of the year when I caught this vid for the first time the skids gigging and what great version of into the valley one of my favourite headbanger hit from that period ,luv on ya guys that was fu&$£NG brilliant
Saw Big Country (not with Stuart, but they left a mike stand where he would have been) I digress, saw Big Country in the music venue at Stamford Bridge.
I hope more of the audience did more than the ‘ foot-tapping with gentle-clapping ‘ as this scenario makes me question if us 50somethings aren’t much different from our parents at this age.....I guess booze and drugs are necessary-at least for the english there. It was John peel playing “ tv stars “ that got me listening out for The Skids. Yes - RIP Stuart - he and Dave Fielding of The Chameleons influenced Mr Edge for sure . Love from Wessex 🏴😇❤️
I used to work in an assisted living facility for a bunch of old well to do people, part of my job was to entertain them for an hour on sundays. It started with me reading my original poems and then spread into reading songs that were poetic. Having about six or seven living survivors from World war II in there and knowing that this is an anti-war song I read them the lyrics and then played them the song. there is nothing in the world that can compare to watching a bunch of 85 to 90 year old people toe tapping to this jam. Richard Jobson is not only in ferocious shape he looks like a doppelganger for Clark Greg the actor that plays Agent Coulson in the Marvel movies. Thankfully he accepted my friend request on FedBook and IG. THIS is music, REAL music that the Jousting Beaver, Lost Direction, and Micky Mirage crowd could never understand if it bit them in their asses. ROCK ON JOB I and Mark B on the lead guitar.🔥💯🌎🌿🙌🙌🏽
Also, I've often thought UK frontmen had an advantage when it comes to dancing around on stage because they played soccer (they call it football?) when they were kids. Jobson is a prime example, guy is a classic frontman.

Watching this in 2022, oh the joy of the Internet.
In 79 or so I had Into The Valley on 7", it had TV Stars on the B-side. Albert Tatlock!
FANTASTIC.

I still have a tear in my eye whenever I think of Stuart Adamson. What a fantastic guitarist, such a loss.

That was great. Jobson still getting the legs up! I remember the first time I saw them live, 78 at Battersea Park supporting the Stranglers

The music of my youth😁i remember to this day the buying of the albums,, blew the paper round money i earned haha , still have all the records
2020 and this still sounds as good as when it was first released.
First band I ever saw when I was about 15, actually met the band before they went on watching the support band. What a buzz! …43 years later…
Was a great tune back then and still kicking it like wow 👏👏👏👏👏
great music is timeless my friend
Storming! Great to see and still as good after all these years!! Stuart is sorely missed by all.. Legends!
What a performance and at least two people nearly bopped in the audience!
First single I ever bought along with Kate bush ‘wow’ and pretenders ‘brass in pocket’. Great days. 🕶
I bought this in white vinyl from Jack Hobbs in Eastleigh way back - still got it somewhere
these guys are so cool, my band supported them last month
Saw the skids one night in Birmingham late 70s. A unique sound then and pritty good still
Better than 95% of live performances 2019! Would give a leg to see these guys live. Talk about giving 100% 🙌🏻
Into the valley is fucking hilarious, after all these years I STILL can’t work out the lyrics! There was a great tv advert in the 80s for tdk it maxell cassette tapes with a guy holding up signs misinterpreting the lyrics to this song
Great band , generated so much power with melody intact , rip Stuart
First single I ever bought!! Still play it to death! Fucking brilliant!!!
Into the valley one of my favourite songs.
I discovered the Skids late in life but so glad I did. So many good songs.
Ever listened to Stiff Little Fingers?......if not they will rock your world.
Start off with "Alternative Ulster"!
Still sounds superb even today great band
After more than 30 years the Skids still kick ass... Ah hooy !!! 🤟🏻
Amazing performance, 1979 was the best year for music
enjoyed that.. terrific stuff, brings back memories of dancing at the school disco trying to emulate those kicks :)
Loving this, going to see The Skids and Big Country on Dec 1st in Dublin. Its going to be ferocious!
How was it? i wish i could see both of those bands but i'm in the states.

One of the most original punk songs ever and the lyrics are to die for!
To die for…..don't be so stupid!
Punk...?! Don't think so...pop more like it.

Absolutely brilliant
Thank you

Fantastic Stuff !!!
My First proper concert 21st March 1979 !!! Fucking awesome
Will ALWAYS be POWERFUL AND TRUE!!!
Richard Jobson was 57 in this video. Hope I'm that fit when I hit that age.
Saw Big Country (not with Stuart, but they left a mike stand where he would have been) I digress, saw Big Country in the music venue at Stamford Bridge.
Nice to see Bubbles playing guitar with The Skids.

LEGENDARY
MY LIFE IS COMPLETE! Fucking love this and he just got even hotter with age!
Bruce Watson doesn’t get the respect he deserves as a guitarist. He’s up there with the greats. (Or at least he should be) .
doesn't get the plaudits
Damn, that intro is superb!
it's a damned shame that the whole audience is on their phones.
#Gladiamold.
Brilliant Lads
Saw the original line up early 80s, fukin great
Also, I've often thought UK frontmen had an advantage when it comes to dancing around on stage because they played soccer (they call it football?) when they were kids. Jobson is a prime example, guy is a classic frontman.
A pity the audience wasn't as good as the band, I would have cleared the room with my windmill dance lol
Prava stvar je dobra i nakon 45 godina. Svaka čast
Love this!!!
If the intro to this song doesn't get you moving.. You're dead.
fantasic
Seen the skids support the stranglers summer 76 or 77 Glasgow apollo please correct me if I'm wrong I was 12
I maintain it was indeed about High Valleyfield.
I never knew that snooker player Dennis Taylor played bass for The Skids?
Always thought it was...born in Lesotho !
Going to see them Saturday in Carlisle,,can’t wait!
Jobson is as fit as fuck!!
This is proper funny love the SkidZ.
Still great has energy.
They've still got it?!
Defo not ready for the old folks home if still kicking that much ass. 😂
awesome
Brilliant
