I’m glad it took everybody three decades to catch up with what I knew all along first time I heard him on the radio. He’s a genius I love him to pieces love him to bits.

As an aging guy myself, I greatly admire how Nick Lowe has aged gracefully, making quieter music and enhancing, rather than covering up, his old man looks. Therefore I was especially curious to see how today he would perform pedal-to-the-metal rockers like Heart of the City. And here it is, slowed down and toned down, but still with plenty of groove, along with a killer guitar solo from Los Straightjackets. What else can I say...Nick Lowe is pure class.

Great music with elegance and groove. What a classy guy Nick Lowe is. Gotta love him.

Nick Lowe is a genius , absolutely loved him in Rockpile. And what a magnificent songwriter , guitarist , & singer. Like ability & Charisma He has it all . great to see him still doing what he loves in his 70’s , a pure inspiration

It's ironic when a 70 year old British pensioner rocks it just hard as anyone around. I remember as a 13 year old buying Cruel To Be Kind in 7" vinyl in a decent picture bag and sitting on the bus home from school holding it, looking at it just as if it was a priceless treasure. I got in and ran straight up to my bedroom and stuck it on my record player. I couldn't believe how good that record sounded. I must have played it a dozen times on the trot and it just better and better. 40 years later it still sounds good. That's class and class endures.

KZfaq just put a giant smile on my brain when this showed up on my screen. Mr. Stream you have made my day. Mr. Lowe and and the Straitjackets were a match in music heaven. Thank you so much for sharing.

Absolutely magnificent. I was privileged to see them at Birmingham Town Hall. The master craftsman of songwriting, singing in his 70s as well as ever, backed by a versatile and entertaining band in their own right. You Inspire Me was the unexpected highlight, the guitar work raised it to a higher level.

Two of my favorite artists/bands on one stage. Heaven.👍😎

Wow, What a great concert. I wish I was there!!!!!

One of the most under appreciated artist in music...

I've seen Nick Lowe twice. The first time with Little Village which was a great show (John Hiatt, Ry Cooder and Jim Keltner were all awesome as usual). Years later a show in Ann Arbor at The Ark. Great to see him up close at a small venue!

What a great band!

Still doing his thanggg...go you!..from a fellow Brentonian 🙌🏾🙋🏽‍♀️

Saw him at the Isle of Wight festival he was holding all together on a wet afternoon in the Big Top tent there all ages loved him

Very nice show. The music of Nick Lowe is a pretty constant companion in my automobile. The new stuff. Old. Rockpile. Brinsley... I'm down with Lowe.

Los Straitjackets make an awesome backup band. I saw them backup Marshall Crenshaw. Another great show.

I Got Nick's 1st Solo Album in 1978? And Only Much Later Did I Learn About BRINZ BAND - And I Really Am Still So Impressed By That First Album And The Ones Following. I Didn't Realize Back Then That The Musicians On The Album Were ROCKPILE (I Think).

Lowe is cool

Yet another show I so desperately wanted to go to. Again, this is why The Current is the best.

I got 3 j200s but I’d love to add Nicks to my collection. What an artist, and the band ain’t too shabby. Rock on Nick. Fab.

Plus the best backing band ever. Don't get much better

long live pub rock

THIS RULES!!! very well recorded. nicely edited. looks great sounds great!! LOS STRAITJACKETS RULE!!

On an ill-fated date when I was in college, I heard "Cruel to Be Kind" on an AM radio station out of Worcester, Mass. and I never saw the girl again but I have been hooked on Nick Lowe ever since! I wore out two vinyl copies of Labour of Lust in about three months. I bought the CD a few years later and that is still in great condition although that is amazing since I still play it all the time! I love Nick's solo stuff, and his stuff with Rockpile, Elvis Costello's version of (What's So Funny About) Peace Love and Understanding and his own version also. "I Knew the Bride When She Used to Rock and Roll" -- both his version and the Dave Edmunds version. The Rose of England; So It Goes; I Live On A Battlefield; on and on. I actually had a conversation with the best-selling novelist Stephen King at Fenway Park about Nick Lowe (King's favorite Nick song of course is "Marie Provost") ... I loved Rockpile, I loved Brinsley Schwarz and I loved his Cowboy Outfit, but I must say Los Straitjackets are right up there! Thanks to the Current for posting this excellent concert. My wife is from Minnesota and whenever we go there for a visit my car radio is always set to the Current and you never disappoint!

Wow, wow, whoaaa... top musicians, Nick you're a master of rock

Well all right then, two of my faves! Thank you or sharing.

Oh my goodness this is incredible. Proshot and great sound. Greg Townson's solo on 'You Inspire Me' is amazing, what's more amazing is the camera catches the whole thing. Saw 3 shows this year on the UK jaunt, and as luck would have it they play in Perth Australia next year while I'm there on vacation. Happy days.

Nice shout out to Danny Amis. Great show and set list.

What a GEM!!

Nick let the Straightjackets play an encore. Great show, all around!

It’s great to see an old fave still having so much fun with some kicking rock’n’rollers.

This whole thing is such a treat!!

Great time With Nick!!!

Those Straighjackets are so incredibly talented!! A perfect blend with Nick.

That was a good show!

What a fantastic show, thanks for sharing!!

Still pure pop for now people

Heel erg matig concert van Nick 😂😂😢😮😅😊🎉

Love the straight jackets.... haven't seen them since my last El-Vez show.

Great job by Los Straightjackets

Thank you! Really enjoyed this! And So It Goes!

Excellent! What else can be said? 😃👑👍🏻✅🎶🎸🕺

Nick the Knife, always a top man 🎸👍🎸

What a surprise. I was at this show.

The Basher sounding great.

TY!!- loving this!

Saw him In Toronto at The Horseshoe a few weeks ago - same shirt. Hope there is a laundry ! Great show - fab man and "new band".

LOVE this guy!!!

I saw this show in Glasgow. Easily in my top three gigs of all time.

Excellent concert

Just stumbled across this. Knockout!

A master class

Whew....that was rough!

Great treat that one

Saw them and Elvis Costello last night. Great show

Watching at april 21..And fascinated

I thoroughly enjoyed this.

1:33:18 - Boy, talk about on pitch! He nails this whole concert like he is 25.

With Los Straitjackets!!?? 2 great tastes that taste great together!!

Love NICKY LOWE - Good Voice!

What a suave gent. Nick is cool. Great band. Shame the camerawork and editing is a little random, but appreciate the low fi approach, and it gets better as they go along.

What tool could give a thumbs down to this ? Nick is an institution and backed by the best surf-rock band currently on the planet?

Love you Nick Lowe

The master.... Nick Lowe !

What’s better than this?

The Basher !

Still the Jesus Of Cool.

I saw Chuck Berry in 1985, so he was about 58-59. I mean it was great because it was Chuck Berry...but pound for pound Nick is slaughtering Chuck here at 70 years old. In spite of a slightly weak drummer, Los Straightjackets provide a full, layered sound behind Mr. Lowe.

When asked who is your guitar hero, I say "Eddie Angel"

WOW~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Jackets are out of sight listen to Townsons guitar work on Tokyo Bay!

can someone PLEASE make a DVD of this for me?????

Eddie Angel is one cool cat!

I was hoping he was gonna start singing "I'm Free near the beginning of Heart of the City ( right after 1:09:28 )

Breaking glass version is ace

Spoon in 20 years...

Ringo's drum solo from Abbey Road at the end of Heart of the City!

Damn, this would be really great if the ads happened in between the songs instead of in the middle of the damned songs. Luckily there were only two

And the award for greatest living Englishman goes to Nick Lowe. Along with Elvis Costello (the second greatest) someone who never sold out and still has it. Love the band too but nearly turned off before the sound settled down.

11:08 Laulette ❤️🙂 Te amo

I need Nick's shirt.

He looks like a vicar, but he rocks like the devil. Brill.

Stay

"Maybe you think I'm a Spider Man ..."

Weird if not scary!!!

Moon river

Bloody hell! They must get hot wearing those masks! Seemed like a good idea at the time.. Nick is 70 - gasp!

Nick Lowe & Secretly Daft Punk

What's with the masks?

Riddle me toddler

Hip hop and grime

Great to see he can still do this, but time has not been kind to MR Lowe who is only 70 here, but seems much older, thus some of the comments.. Were used to 70 year old rockers who can pass as 60 years olds today, but not to many can do that obviously. We never know what father time has in mind for us. Some hit the wall, some dont.

Whose bright idea was it to have the band looking like extras in an early edition of Dr.Who?? Otherwise fab. Luv 8ball.

What is it with bands stupid masks.

No organs, won't be seeing him live then

Crap

This sucks and wtf is up with the masks? Old timers music.
