Dave Edmunds - 1985-02-28 - Capitol, Passaic, NJ (SBD)

1985 - Yesterday we brought you Nick Lowe of Rockpile flying solo in 1985, so today its only fitting that we bring your Dave Edmunds doing like wise in the same year.  In late 1984, Edmunds released the album Riff Raff, once again collaborating with Jeff Lynne, formerly of ELO, as he had done on his 1983 album, Information. Unfortunately, the 2nd time around for Edmunds and Lynne was not quite as successful. Whereas Information had climbed to  #51 on the Billboard 200 album chart and spawned a top-40 single in "Slipping Away,  Riff Raff  made it to only #140, and the single Something About You failed to crack the Billboard Hot 100.  Nonetheless, Edmunds toured in support of the album, as captured in this soundboard recording from the Capitol Theater in Passaic, NJ on February 28, 1985, 32 years ago today.
