4 April 1981

Stray Cats

at Merwedehal, Dordrecht. Netherlands




Merwedehal

They play at least the following songs:
  1. Rumble In Brighton
  2. Stray Cat Strut
  3. Rock This Town
  4. Runaway Boys
At the beginning of Rock This Town one of the strings on Lee's bass broke and he continues with only 3 strings



This was recorded and shown on television as a Count Down Special. It is on youtube, but it was transferred from an old VHS tape so the quality is not too good. But you can see it here:
STRAY CATS 80' LIVE IN NEDERLAND MODERN ROCKABILLY

Parts of this show were used for the:
regular Dutch T.V. show called Count Down, which shows the songs:
  1. Rock This Town
  2. Runaway Boys


For the video on Youtube:
