    Always think it's an RIP thread when I see names like that. I guess this one would have been a pretty heavy coincidence.

    They are flawless live, sometimes you will get drunken cunts with no idea how to behave when at a gig at their shows, in the main they are brilliant live. Must have seen them 15 times at various places.

    Saw them in the Bill Nicholson prior to a NLD some years ago.
    Now that was an atmosphere!

    100% this.

    I've seen them roughly the same amount of times & they are superb live. They put on a fantastic show. You do get some proper bellends at their shows though!

    They were brilliant last weekend in Kentish town, played for 2 hours plus and flawless. I would recommend seeing them live if you get a chance

    There was a BBC4 documentary on them a couple(?) of years ago, the bass player (Dave?) had retired at one point, but seems to have changed his mind. Perhaps Ossie Ardiles pestered him to comer back!

    His wife died and he packed it up for a bit but has been back for a while now.

    Seen them a couple of times recently and they are very, very good.

    May go to this too but am seeing The Who the following night.

    "Saw" them at Knebworth supporting Led Zep - don't remember much about their set to be honest. ;-)

    They are brilliant live but @carter is right you really do get some complete knobs at their gigs.

    As a proper insomniac I often listen to playlists on my iTunes and Chas & Dave was my choice two nights ago.

    My wife who can sleep through hurricanes and snore for England had enough at 3am whilst I was singing along to the Sideboard Song in the spare room. She even had the temerity to say I was singing 'flat'. :)

    The pair of them and the drummer Nik, who is Chas' son are awesome musicians. Now I know you don't sell gig tickets if you are no good at playing and performing but they are genuinely musically brilliant. They normally do a load of stuff like Jerry-Lee Lewis, from the sixties and 50's then the other half is all their stuff and they have a huge back catalogue.

    Like I say, don't let the risk of dickheads who've never left their local put you off its because of them sometimes the theatre shows are dry during the performance and sometimes all night
