Rockpile: Live at Rockpalast

1980 · ⭐ 0 · Votes: 0

Rockpile recorded their installment of the German TV show Rockpalast in January 1980 a few months before the appearance of their lone LP Seconds of Pleasure but at that point the quartet were a fixture on the new wave scene touring constantly and appearing on solo LPs by their co-leaders Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe. All this is a roundabout way of saying that Rockpile wasn't hurting for material: they drew heavily upon Edmunds' solo records in particular -- 13 of the songs on this 17-song setlist appeared on one of Dave's LPs -- interspersing a few rock & roll oldies along with songs from Nick plus a showcase for Billy Bremner
