SUPERB BROADCAST RECORDING FROM 1983 Having built a strong reputation as a player, writer, producer and performer between the late 1960s and mid-70s, Dave Edmunds time had come by the latter part of the decade when he joined up with former Brinsley Schwarz bass-player Nick Lowe to form Rockpile. But by 1991, tension between Edmunds and Lowe led to the break-up of the band and both performers went back to their respective solo-careers. In April 1983 Dave Edmunds released Information, produced by Jeff Lynne, who also penned the first single from the record, Slipping Away – a radio hit on both sides of the Atlantic. By May 83, Dave was in the US promoting his new album, and on 18th of the month he performed with a new band, featuring his old Rockpile mucker Billy Bremner, at the Roseland Ballroom in New York, playing a show that was broadcast live across the country. Featuring a superb set-list with cuts from the new record rubbing shoulders with former hits and album tracks, plus a healthy dose of old rock classics, this performance is rated among the best Dave Edmunds performances ever recorded.
