Wow amazing fantastic performance.

Thanks for a lifetime of great music, Dave.

Saw this combo live at Thetford Forest years ago - that Sabre Dance performance will live with me for the rest of my life. Epic!

Bravo Bravo just as breathtaking as when it first came out 🎸 🌟

Fantastic performance with Dave and Jools and the orchestra. Probably the best ever.

Superb version of this classic! Have always loved this!

I saw them 'live' when I was just a kid back in '68 - awesome then and awesome now!

excellent

Last song of the decade! Makes me think I'm in a car chase for some reason.

Heard Dave had some health issues glad to see him rockin' out recently.

Makes me sad to think Dave isnt well. God bless you buddy and for all the contribution to RocknRoll !!! Hail Hail Dave Edmunds !!

Remember seeing this, brilliant

ah good times, they played this when I saw Jools at the Albert Hall in november.

the mans just in a class of his own

dave edmunds is a beast on guitar, all in favour??

VERY BEST PERFORMANCE. WELL DONE DAVE.

I hope that anyone seeing this video NOTICES the JOY of all who were involved in giving US this music.. BUT of course I am old and have "lost it". Oh YEA, I KNOW when I hear good MUSIC, LOL.

Dave Edmunds playing a Strat. Happy days!

seen this man and nicke lowe live many times in holland in the sleep in. fantastic place, all good bands including al stewart, coming up next.. here cant touch it.....................

WOW that’s awesome 😎

Wow that was amazing I remember the original Dave Edmunds is a legend

Super.Well Done Dear Famous Bro Edmund.Bravooooooooooooooooo.

This is just incredible

You are a beauty Dave!

Well done Dave thankyou brother 😊👍

Dave is quality end of.

Wow that's great what a band.

Thanks! shortish version unfortunately, but still blast. Best scene is Jools turning over sheet music on piano. Priceless! wordofgord

Brilliant!

Brilliant.

Super!!

The version at the guitar festival in Spain is far superiour, in fact it is incredible..check it out

Oh wow, I remember this coming on in our house right before midnight and freaking my stepsister out! "I don't want it to be New Year any more, this song's making it sound scary!"

who didnt like this they never heard rock and roll

Dave Edmunds once stated that he was tired of doing this song. Thank God that he apparently changed his mind!

Dave Edmunds

It's strange to see a lot of these Old Gibson Guitarists using Strats nowadays. Dave Edmunds, Pete Townshend, Andy Latimer to name a few. Epic Performance👍

@sxsboy879 Just to add to @ElementaryZingu's comment, Dave Edmunds' version was also used for the BBC short film "London to Brighton in 4 minutes"

Grew up on music from Dave Edmunds, Girls Talk, I knew the bride, Born to be with you etc. My favourite artist of all time, this has got to be the best bit of guitar playin of them all.

why is dave Edmunds not in the top 50 guitarists

me too

Killer!

GYAAA!! time to take the ol' dirt road...

Bendigedig !! Brilliant !! Shit hot !! Could listen all night !!

Welshman. 🤟

Take that, Yngvie.

My son in law who has a band does not think Dave is anything special!!! I wholeheartedly disagree been a fan since the 60s, keep rockin' Dave

Stratocaster...? Sound all over the place too. Gilson Lavis topping as usual*. Jools reading a magazine yak yak? I agree Kelvin the Sevilla recording is absolutely peerless. * See Astleys Way 2/2 at the end. People really in love with what they are doing as here yes?

Had a music teacher who said the Stones were useless at music because they couldn't read music. You don't read music, it's played with emotion, passion and every other human emotion. Dave Edmunds playing this. He was born to do this,

Charles Barkley plays trombone?

OMG......Buffalo Sabres take note

@77kelvinsmith yes indeed. Better guitar, better recording, better sound overall. I don't understand why the version @ Jools sounds so ... muffled

A little tamer than the version done at the concert in Seville Spain but I like it. By the way was that Jerry Lee Lewis at the piano? Not very well defined but it sure resembled him.

The only thing to say is proper music by people who know how to do it.

what song is this

this has got to be some of the finest guitar playing of the last decade, sabre dance on an electric guitar, sick dude just sick. Do you know how hard that tune is to play on a guitar, there are only a few guitar players in the world who could pull this off.

doesnt even work lol how the hell can i re wacth the countdown for 2009 when the video doesnt even work!

the lone dislike on this video is form Brian Setzer, who's version of this song pales in comparison

@Gyphia - That's the fault of the stupid sound engineers; the quality of them has gone down at the BBC in the past few years. I think he should have played it with a Les Paul or an SG - it would have been far more gutsy.

No credit to Khachaturian?

Bless him! Decent drummer though he is, Gil is no Terry Williams.

Agree with other comments that the band drowns Dave out, big time, and he also misses a lot of notes waiting for them to catch up. This tune should be left to Dave and the drummer only.

Terrible version. Why didn't the band STFU or at least tone it down, and let him play it?

Drenched in horns. Completely unnecessary.

Terrible line editing. Nobody cares about the band.
