Dave Edmunds - 1983-05-18 - New York (FM)

In May 1983, Dave Edmunds was 2 years, and 2 albums, removed from his work with Nick Lowe and Rockpile.  He put together a new band, which included guitarist Mickey Gee, bassist John David, pianist Geraint Watkins, and drummer Dave Charles. That group would record and tour with Edmunds throughout the rest of the 1980s.  He had also switched record labels during that 2 year span, moving from Swan Song to Arista.  Amidst all that change, one thing stayed the same -- Edmunds' ability to play good old straight ahead rock and roll.   This FM broadcast captures Edmunds and his new band at the Roseland Ballroom in New York on May 18, 1983, 29 years ago today.  In addition to songs from his 2 post Rockpile albums (DE7 and Information), Edmunds also plays tunes from his days with Nick Lowe, as well as his 1970 hit, I Hear You Knockin'.  Download this one, turn it up loud, and remember why you love rock & roll.
