An enjoyable romp through some classics from the amazing Mr. Dury and his partners.

This was a hell of a band with Wilko Johnson on guitar at this point.

My copy of this classic footage

with remastered audio and adjusted contrast/brightness,

Due to all the processing the picture quality possibly suffered a bit

but with better sound and some of the darkness illuminated I prefer this version.

It occurred to me how odd this gig must have been for the band.

They were used to feeding off frenzied mosh-pits.

I’m partial to their abracadabra.

Very busy time of year for me as I have mentioned.

Fitting shoes to reindeer hooves is seasonable to say the least.

Anyway...here is the late/great Ian Dury on Desert Island Discs.
