SHADDAP YOU FACE (DON LANE SHOW 1980)

My first talk show. I was nervous but did alright.
I sent a copy of the song to the show. They said no.
A month later, it was tearing up the charts.
Don Lane announced on air that I would be appearing on his very next show - before he even asked me!
Don Lane died in 2009.
He would have smiled at this news eulogy:
'. . .in keeping with his jewish faith the funeral was held properly after his death . . '

Shaddap You Face - The Beginning
(Dolce)
Extremely rare 'live' mono footage of an early performance of Shaddap You Face,
in May 1980, long before the song was recorded and released. The venue was
the Catch a Rising Star cabaret in Richmond, VIC, and the backing house band
is the same band that was later used on the recording. This Australian audience
had never heard of this song before and this film captures the playfulness and
improvisational aspects of the way it all originated. It was never performed the same
way twice. The sound and picture are slightly degenerated but the magic of the
performance is still there.
