That Look In Your Eyes

Th' Dudes

Synopsis

This slow burning Ian Morris/Dave Dobbyn song was the b-side of Th’Dudes first single ‘Be Mine Tonight’. The video was shot at TVNZ’s Avalon studios in the days before the music video boom when, as Dave Dobbyn puts it, “the state made your videos”. A relatively straightforward performance piece, with only some outsized masks for occasional visual relief, it has the band largely entering into the spirit of things - with the exception of Dobbyn who shows up at one point with a large black spot on his forehead, and manages a particularly manic stare later on.

I've been looking for the full version of this for ages.
There's half of it on you tube.
This full version needs to be posted on you tube.
What a great song by Dave & Ian. Excellent blues playing between them.
