Sad because it's gone and no matter how sensible and grown up I try to be deep down in my 70 years old darkness there is this tiny glimmer that if I wish hard enough I can be magically transported back to being 18 and not giving a fuck ✌
Ian Dury was a total and absolute trail blaiser with his music. No wonder Wilko joined them. The Blockheads still remain one of my favourite bands long after Ian's tragic passing.
The Blockheads remain, forty-ish years later(!), one of the best live bands I have EVER seen. And believe me I have seen a lot of bands since. God bless you Ian Dury, sadly missed.
A little dude with a huge brain and even bigger VOICE! This muthafugger was SO criminally under appreciated in the US/Canada that it makes yer head spin. ALL his records are GEMS! Saw him and the Blockheads open for Lou Reed and they BLEW LOU OUT THE DOOR!!!!!
I started watching this only to see Wilko with the Blockhearts, but the whole thing just carries you away. It's so infectious. What a band, and what a great concert closer.
