Don’t like Nick…. He looks like a dominant cynical bullying guy

What was the second song?!?? Sorry I’m new to this band

This is unbelievable

(1:50:48) June 19, 1985. Columbia, SC. This passage is based on the prior day's (6.18) happenings. The "new place" was Rockafella's. Probably meant new in that Flag never played there before. After the show, it was an anarchy 'A' that was spray-painted on the store window. I know because I watched the application as it occurred. We helped the band load up, dined with them at an all-night greasy spoon, after which, they, along with the entire crew and support bands, crashed at our house. It. Was. Glorious.

I've never heard Corona with so much distortion, and I love it. It bums me out so much thinking about all the great musical possibilities that died with D. He (and they) were brilliant.

From the Nick Lowe book about this documentary: ‘Nearly four decades later, when asked if he had watched the film recently, Nick replied, ‘I’d rather nail my feet to the ground and stare at the sun.’

Fabulous.

One of those rare songs where the chorus isn't the best part of the song

Wow

So prolific, influential, generous, down to earth and crazy talented.

40 years gone...

I’ve always been so attracted to Amy. I mean, I’m straight I think (?) 😅. Anyway, they’re amazing and she’s a rockstar. Look at her!

Cool. Hat

That was pretty intense man. I saw you speak, once, here, in OKC. You seemed much more at peace, and it was relieving to see.

Nazi skins suck. They didn't last around here.

I was born in Arlington VA . Omg!!! I never knew !!! ❤

I'm going to figure out how Edmunds sings Endless Grey Ribbon

Is this a shorter version? Audio books usually are like 16 hours or whatever

never not good

Fuck!!! I had this book but I lost it and now it’s worth $100+

Saw them open in 1989 for REM in Birmingham. Thought to myself “who are these guys… probably gonna be terrible..” then saw them come out, and as an acoustic player myself I was mesmerized. Then Stipe came out and sang on Kid Fears and I was absolutely hooked. Tremendous talent

My god that chorus pedal

Beautiful

Now I know where a lot of the dialogue from This is Spinal Tap came from.

never knew this existed

Thanks so much for this. Rockpile album is one of my favorites.❤🎵

Greatest band ever and I’m not going to entertain anything to the contrary.

Funny Dave doesn’t know how to talk to them without sounding paternal. Correcting them and his dad jokes about Amy’s tattoo.

Intéressant

This is what you call a thread

I saw them at the Decorum in Hemel Hempstead. Unforgettable. This is the programme I learned of Albert Lee who can play ANYTHING except Apache. 😊

I saw Rockpile open for Van Morrison in Toronto about 1978. They were incredibly loud and brilliant.

Flash In The Pan...

Tracking vocals while smoking! Lol the 70's ruled!

She couldn't have bought a new pair of jeans for National TV?,...jeeez

The world just was not ready to hear smart R&R like this.

Due to a friend who is not anymore among us- RIP Ovidiu !- a fantastic group I found with this album and I will search for its cd-s. Thank you for posting !

Man they are consumatte musicians..those lyrics just slay me, and those harmonies!

I listened to this music back in the 80s and really liked it. Appreciated Rockpile and Edmunds and Lowe's stubborn focus and individuality in insisting on curating these songs. But listening to it again nowadays, my feelings are different. British and Welsh guys trying to sound American Southern just seems silly and pointless to me. It's really just a jumping off point for creating their own sound, but in my opinion, they never quite got there. Nick Lowe went on to write some very distinctive and eccentric songs, but often singing them like a depressed old man, and he lost me. Basically this bunch here are gifted copyists and I'm sorry I can't enjoy them so much anymore. They were seeking something that doesn't seem worth seeking without that intense creative desire to just make a new noise. No wonder Punk took hard root in Britain at the tail-end of the big bloated stadium rock era amidst these people and their mates who just wanted to recreate 50s rockabilly. I mean, the world had heard all that already by this time, but I guess if you're drunk most nights in a pub by your own choice, it doesn't much matter to the audience or to you as a musician. These guys were great in their way, yeah, a UK treasure, but they stalled at this point. There's more to musical adult life than smokes and booze and rockabilly. These guys just seem like old teenagers now, seen through this 1979 framework. And they're all late 20s into mid-30s. They needed to reach a bit higher and for Lowe to maybe smoke, drink, and drug a bit less. Would've given him some perspective. Yeah, just my opinion. But it's the one I have arrived at over the years.

this needs more likes and views. its a thing o beauty. i means listen to thems chops.

I’ve never heard them say this so it’s just my opinion, but “indigo” is blue. And not sure if it’s the same today, but back when they started out, gay bars had a blue light out front as a signal that it was indeed a gay bar. Artists like Melissa Etheridge, even made reference to working in the blue light bars of Long Beach. I’ve always thought the Indigo girls picked that name as a wink to their female fan base.

Thanks for posting!

Notice the ripped jeans at the knees- created a trend repeated even now
