One of the greatest songs of the 70's. Surely nobody can argue with that! Saw him live in 1978 with The Rumour and this was the last track they played. I've been to hundred's of gigs in my life but I can honestly say that the concert at Leicester De Montfort Hall that night is my top 5 of all time.

So great to read all these comments. Went though life thinking I was the only one who loved Graham Parker and the Rumour.

one of the best bands that never were recognized for what they were worth

Graham Parker pours it all out with more songwriting talent and conviction than most.

Great Rock. The Album Heat Treatment is still one of my favourites. Concise, rich of variety and without gimmicks.

Was an American college student spending Spring 1977 in England. This BBC show was recorded on March 17. Saw this tour with GP and the Rumour twice in Bristol(March 8) and Birmingham(March 24) with Southside Johnny/Jukes as the opening act. Amazing double bill. Tix were about $ 4 US. Those were the days.

Well I gave this a view and a favourite! I'm 24 but a huge music buff and I have staked out all the greats in the past but Graham is one 70s standout that I always have a special place for because he's so criminally obscure and therefore isn't cliche to love. Plus, you feel better digging someone when he's a relatively unknown commodity. Those who are old enough to remember him do, but other than that he's been written out of rock history while others, many lesser talents, endure in popularity.

Graham Parker & The Rumour - The BEST live R & B band EVER!

BEST KEPT SECRET IN THE WEST!

Graham Parker and the Rumour! Another criminally under-appreciated band!

This is what happens when little pieces of perfection come together. Graham is one of the best singer/songwriter/performers ever. And, the Rumour fit together like a glove. I cannot get it through my head why such inferior bands become huge and these guys were never given a tiny bit of credit they deserve.

Saw them at Cloudlands Ballroom in Brisbane in 1980. It was Graham's birthday. Fantastic, happy, concert, with so much dancing that even the timber floor was rocking.

What an amazing front man. And damn, Brinsley could lay it down.

A truly great song,the hook is magnificent

Thanks for posting, absolutely still stands up today. Great stuff.

Whoa, fantastic! My elder daughter was just starting to toddle when this was broadcast on the Beeb. She was fascinated by the Parkerilla (she has great taste) and stood upright for so long, mesmerised, that we took a photograph of her in front of the TV

Doing a crunching smokin' US small venue tour my friend starting in the fall 2012 and continuing into spring 2013. I cannot fucking wait!!!!

You’re not going crazy. They really are amazing

beautifully put. probably the greatest and most unappreciated rocker of his era

Great song. Andrew Bodnar is IN the show and enjoying the hell out of it.

Powerful stuff.

Marvelous voice and writer..❤❤❤

I was probably 12 or 13 when I found a Graham Parker record in a bargin bin at the Pamidas Store. I was a huge fan in no time & bought every other record I could find.

It's a hard pick to make, but this is my favorite Graham Parker song.

Wonderful !

one of the ignored greats...no doubt

Spot On! Brinsley!

Great Stuff thanks

This made my day. Thanks poster

I love those glasses!!

GP is the man! :D Thanks a lots! Super version too!

Classic!

great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@AnAmericanFan i'm with you - Sparks is a close 2nd. Had all the vinyl lp's

Check out thier first two L.P's "Howlin wind" & "Heat Treatment".

BRILLIANT!!!

This is great! Graham made a big mistake when he ditched The Rumour.

I dont mind tellin you baby ...thats mr parker to you.

中学生に戻れた。ありがとう！

This pretty much whips ass

I like older EC stuff, but the guy could not play live well or keep songs in time. Graham parker can sit down with just a guitar and make it sound good.
