This song should have been bigger. Too bad it never gets played anywhere. Hopefully it winds up on someone's movie soundtrack one day.

Just come across this. Simply magnificent. Brinsley Schwarz is matching every vocal phrase with a riff, and that solo...Martin Belmont holding things together with that incessant riff (what an underestimated rythm guitarist). Andrew Bodnar holding the whole thing together and pushing the song forward on bass. If there was one band I'd always wanted to play in it was this. Thanks Graham and thanks to the Rumour.

This show is where I found out (and got hooked on) Graham Parker. Any one know the exact date of the show?

Parker's work with The Rumor, one of the finest bands ever to grace a stage, is some of the rock world's most underrated music. And Parker himself, from Heat Treatment all the way through to his most recent Three Chords Good, has proven to be a prodigiously talented songwriter and recording artist, plus a terrific stage performer. Why he isn't a bigger star is a mystery to me. Even Bruce Springsteen is a fan of his work. It's a shame that he isn't a big, big star.

This song takes me back to the winter of 1982... when I knew I had to get the hell out of depressing England. I haven't lived there since 1983, thanks to GP and thanks to the grace of God. Still love this man's music, though. He inspired me.

So true. Live, GP+R were sensational. Burn, baby, burn!

Kevin Mills

Superb! This brings back many memories for me! And I agree with BluegooseCT!

EC can sing and write circles around GP, as good as GP is.

@brucec43 I saw him play in the "Hope & Anchor" in Islington.................................. He was certainly amongst the Kursaal Flyers,Kilburn and the High Roads, Eddie & The Hot Rods, Be Bop Deluxe pack. They were certainly different to the Punk/ New wave crowd, but the Springsteeen direction, as evidenced by the Empty Lives album, didnt work for him.A great songwriter - but his strength was live.

Bruno TaTa

@garylongden Don't let GP hear you calling his music pub rock. He hates the term and says he never played in pubs.
