Exquisite. Saw him do it live in 1973. 

As you know I am envious of your gigging history. This information doesnt help me get over that Mike.

One of the rare times I don’t regret relenting to my daughter’s request to have Radio One on in the car as it meant that I heard this for the first time the other day.

I rather like it.

Here’s a thing… There’s two versions of this. This one is the single version. The album version is very different. You'll see websites list this as being on the debut eponymously titled album… newsflash… it isn’t (yes Wiki, I'm looking at you!)

This is a classic Snub TV video. Snub TV was a brilliant show, small indie bands couldn’t afford videos, so Snub TV made them for them and stuck them on the telly.

One more thing about that video… the plagiarist later known as the rocket polisher Moby is playing guitar in that video

I was just reminiscing with the missus about seeing Warren Zevon supporting Jackson Browne in 1976. This even sparked envy from big Zevon fan Tom Russell, who I got to chat with several times on his UK visits.

So talking of Snub TV… have another of their videos. The wonderful Fatima Mansions and Only Losers Take the Bus and this Snub TV video is much better that the other one they made for it.

Similarly there are 2 videos for Pixies Velouria, one, the accepted one was made by Snub. Bloody loved that show.

Yet it never gets mentioned as being in the same league as TOGWT or The Tube (both of which were obviously great too). I was mortified when it ended.

I think Snub TV was aimed at a more learned audience not just some ne’er do wells who fancied seeing The Jam.

Do you know what he's up to atm? He cut short his last UK tour on unspecified health grounds. He used to communicate regularly online, but after an annoying series of incidents with a couple of crazy stalkers, he no longer does. This was our pretend fight (long story) last time I saw him:

Liked more for the dad story than the music. 😉 But it's growing on me.

What a great story. Thanks. Off to listen to the other one now ...

It's interesting because it almost seems a bit of a throwback in a way -- TV shows doing a bit of theatre for bands, heavy on themes.

This one is WAY different. Almost a different song.

I swear my son getting ready to move to college this week has the same stringy long hair as these kids -- I haven't been paying attention, but it's funny how these things come back.

This fits snugly into the Snub TV chat.

Still got the album that is on, the limited edition with the extra 12”. The price it goes for these days is mental
