Followed dexys since day one, plenty of great artists about but no one can compare to the greatest showman of all time the great Kevin Rowland, unique full of passion and soul
Actually gave me goosebumps watching this. Loved Dexys so much back then, but they never toured Australia and we only got to see Come on Eileen on our music shows. Thank you for posting this.
HUUUGE Dexys fan in the early 80s and they were scheduled to come to South Florida and I bought my tix and couldn't wait to see them....but the show was canceled :-( I can't get enough of Kevin's unique voice!
Spunky arsed Kevin Rowland. I'd love to have been bossed round by him! ;) His studied moves were a 'thing' on their own. Wish I could have been his groupy, but aside from being half a world away, I'm too young! (Well a little, anyway....)
Their live show at this time, and it was a show, was the best. Choreographed and the tightest band but just enough improv in certain songs. You left the gig a kilo or two lighter.
This was amazing. I don't think those times will ever return in music. Btw It would have been even more amazing if it was Soon + Plan B + I'll show you!
