Great concert by Ian Dury & The Blockeads from February 21, 1978, at the WDR studio in Cologne (Germany) inc the hits "Sex And Drugs And Rock'n'Roll" and "What A Waste" Re-issue of the individual CD and DVD - now in one package with new front cover artwork.

With their catchy mix of post-punk, funk, and rhythmic spoken vocals, Ian Dury and the Blockheads became pioneers of the new wave scene. Frontman Dury captivated audiences with his mischievous Cockney wit and ecstatic stage show.

In the mid-1970s, Ian Dury was the figurehead of the British new wave and pub rock scene.

His 1977 debut album "New Boots And Panties!!!" became a classic shortly after its release: songs like "Sex And Drugs And Rock'n_Roll" became catchphrases, and the melodic and creative richness of early Ian Dury, coupled with his extravagant stage show, made him a legend.

The Rockpalast concert, which has now been released, was recorded just a few months after the release of "New Boots And Panties" and contains all the highlights of the album, a completely unrestrained Ian Dury and the Blockheads playing brilliantly!

A memorable performance, recorded by WDR on February 21, 1978, at WDR Studio-L in Cologne, precisely because Dury was virtually unknown in Germany at the time. His quirky performance is more reminiscent of a staggering drug addict than a musician who doesn't take himself too seriously, but still gives his all and always works professionally.

A document of its time, not so metal, but extremely worth seeing and hearing - a classic!
