Dave Edmunds was always notorious for his perfectionist approach to studio recordings, so his skills as a live performer were often overlooked. Although it has been doctored slightly in the studio, I Hear You Rockin' the Hits Live is an energetic, enjoyable record demonstrating that the roots-rocker can be a fun, charismatic performer when he chooses. The album's set list draws heavily from his classic late-'70s records ("Girls Talk," "Here Comes the Weekend," "Queen of Hearts," "Crawling from the Wreckage," "I Knew the Bride [When She Used to Rock & Roll]," "Ju Ju Man"), adding the hits "I Hear You Knockin'" and "Slipping Away," plus "Information" for good measure. It's a basic primer, delivered with passion, making it a fine record for die-hard fans.

Here's a live ve...

Here's a shot of Rockpile fun to get your weekend off to a fast start. In my opinion Nick, Dave, Terry and Billy are the greatest good time pub rock band ever! They provided the sound track to my life throughout the late 70's and early 80's. I hear that Dave has recently suffered a heart attack but doing well. It has been a long time since we have heard from him. Does anyone know what Dave is u...
