Stray Cats - Somethin' Else (Live At Montreux 1981)
Available Now: smarturl.it/straycats81DVD
When the Stray Cats rolled into Montreux in July 1981 they were one of the hottest properties around. They had 3 hit singles and a UK top 10 album already under their belts along with a string of headlining concerts, all of which had come since their relocation from New York to London in 1980. The band's combination of original songs and rockabilly classics with a punk attitude and style had caught the moment to perfection. Added to this were their considerable musical accomplishments and knack for songwriting. All in all it was a heady concoction and the crowd in Montreux reacted with near hysterical excitement, something rarely seen in what is usually a polite and reserved audience. This is the Stray Cats at their peak. Simply unmissable.

Eddie Cochran is smiling down on these guys from Rock'N'Roll heaven so much energy so much talent!

@fred120364 9 лет назад

Brian Setzer is for me the most entertaining guitar player ever... and one of the most talented for sure!!!

@chocolatcats 9 лет назад

fred120364 and....THANX TO GENE VINCENT AND EDDIE COCHRAN..........the fabulous two rockers live on because of Brian..I have been to both Gene and Eddie's graves and its so sad..but they live thanx to Brian...he's one of them! Had Eddie and Gene lived; they could have toured with Brian................

@fred120364 9 лет назад

keri caye Sure, so many thanks go to those two pionneers... but Brian made a lot of magnificent stuff of his own apart from the Gene and Eddie covers too, and the jazz-rock skills he developped in the second half of his carreer make him a giant among the guitar players, able to raise his skills to fit any style of music from classic to hard rock!

@chocolatcats 9 лет назад

fred120364 oh of course.......HE'S THE BEST and I have seen his career for years and appreciate all he's done. He's in the same league as Gene and Eddie..again, he's the best.......I prefer Brian's music and playing over anyone (other then Gene and Eddie)...

@fred120364 9 лет назад

keri caye Well, then we have at least one point in common: I don't think we have any right to say that this one or another is the best, but at least we can claim that Brian is our favorite!!! Take care and keep the passion thriving!

@chocolatcats 9 лет назад

fred120364 Eddie, Gene and Brian, will always be BEST OF THE BEST. ...... I'll always keep that passion for Brian and his music

A few more you might enjoy: Rush "Finding my way" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iLoUGYxR0uM.html - just white hot; and the Beatles "I'm down" with the real Paul: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-y_I8-FUdUWI.html. Of course, not really Americana. Styx "Rocking the Paradise" deserves at least honorable mention in that category, IMHO, tho I think there must be a better early live vid out there: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZYLr-yNuyDU.html. The words are more relevant today than ever. It starts slow, but be patient. It really kicks in.

@Rocksite1 2 года назад

Wait, no, this version of "Rocking the Paradise": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YjD4oc2WWX8.html; but the intro before it is important, too.

Between Brian Setzer on that Gretsch, Lee Rocker on that stand up bass and Slim Jim phantom on that drum kit, this is the best music I've ever heard! Wish I could've seen the entire group together live. I've seen Brian Setzer but never lucky enough to have ever seen the stray cats! Man, they don't make music like this anymore

@markjones7185 Год назад

Saw them twice back in the day. A place called My Father's Place on Long Island in 83, and here in Albany in 84. Yes, three guys with energy like thi video.

@robertstorey01296 9 лет назад

Got laughed at at school when I tried to point out how amazing they were when they first turned up in uk. Seeing this video now makes me realise how right I was. Rockabilly and punk energy inventive and fun. Like all the best music, they worked it all out for themselves. Makes you realise rock is dead now, there is no room for inventive outsiders to create new sounds to thrill us with ,its all Tv driven and tv wants a guaranteed audience which means just repeating endlessly what worked before.

When I first heard the original by Eddie I heard the "Punk" in it and was disappointed by The Ramones' take, I thought they would have more energy than what they recorded. With respect, their version doesn't even....come close.... I just NOW heard this, (didn't know they did this version) now I KNOW it was made for a group like The Stray Cats! I'm glad to see that it made its way into the 80's afterall!!!

@jdh9676 4 года назад

Critics panned them, audiences loved them. They could be slight on record. One trick ponies. But it was a good trick. And live where a band proves its worth they were undeniable. I had a chance to see them in '83. They were jaw droppingly good.

@TheChadPad 4 года назад

One trick ponies? If I understand what you mean correctly, you could call any band that has "their sound" a one trick pony, but these guys definitely aren't. They can all play, perform entertainingly, and did not only rockabilly, but rnb, swing, and on their most recent record, surf rock! And they basically pioneered their own genre, blending punk rock with rockabilly
