Frontman Dury captivated audiences with his mischievous Cockney wit and ecstatic stage show.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIAN  DURY \u0026amp; THE BLOCKHEADS  \/   LIVE AT ROCKPALAST 1978\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47504966877336,"sku":"885513905109","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/9965\/6600\/files\/4428544-3396081.jpg?v=1764194014","url":"https:\/\/store.ultimateclassicrock.com\/products\/ian-the-blockheads-dury-live-at-rockpalast-1978","provider":"UCR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
