@@nigelbeaumont1109❤❤I agree with every thing you said ! We have to hope & pray that things get better for this whole planet ! There is so much heartache all over the world ! ❤❤
Around 1976 in the dark early morning I drove down Bondi Road [Sydney] toward the beach. The stars were tingling, the light of a twinkling ship was out to sea. The roads were extremely quiet anf this song was playing. It was simply an awesome feeling which I have never forgot !!!
I was in eighth grade, and our teacher played the radio during our reading time. This song came on, and it blew my mind. I was useless the rest of the day. It's that special.
When this was a hit I was a 20 yr old United States Marine on Okinawa. I had just received the dreaded "Dear John Letter" from my cute girlfriend back home in the States. I was heart broken.... that was 1975. Im 67 yrs old I still remember the pain. But, I've been happily married 41 yrs now.
The summer of 1975. I had just graduated HS and was on my way to College. this song came out and completely captivated my summer. To this day, when I hear this song, I go back to that summer of 1975. And it still brings tears to my eyes.
tears of joy I hope. I get melancholic for a much simpler time in my life, when I hear this song too, but it only brings back good memories when mom was still around, young and vibrant, and I was just a happy-go-lucky kid. The funny thing is that back then I always felt bad for the singer; thinking he must have felt really sad to perform a song like this. It was also the same year I would hear Terry Jacks seasons in the sun on the radio all the time. I guess we were all still mourning Vietnam back then.
We took a lot for granted in the 70's and 80's. We all drove awesome V8 cars, listened to the best music in the world, awesome friends, and loved with great passion. Never know what you have until it's gone! But the memories remain.
Still driving awesome 70's muscle, still listening this GREAT MUSIC, still in touch with my 1st girlfriend on a weekly basis and older than dirt ha ha ha
I listen to this song now, and am transformed into the sixteen year-old me in the summer of 1975, crazy in love with an angel who saw me only as her friend. I never did get the girl, but the song has formed such a vivid, emotional impact in my heart and soul. Man how I miss youth and the music of the '70s
There's a very good documentary about 10CC on RU-vid. It's said that it took 3 weeks to get right and record the backing vocal for this song. A very talented band.
I think this is the best version of this song available on RU-vid even though it’s not all the original members. I really like his embellishment on the lead vocals.
I honestly remember the impact when it was released, and sitting here today 47 years later and still have the same feeling, it says everything about that song 🙂
I have several......in the 70's, there was so many talented musicians that you could walk into any club or hotel lounge and hear awesome bands! When all of these great songs came out, they learned them and played them while they were still getting air play. They were so good that they sounded just like the record. RIP Phil Miller (lead guitar), Richard (lead vocals, lead guitar) & DJ Johnson(drums), Gary Acklin(lead vocals, keyboard), and Don Garrett(bass).So many songs remind me of you. ❤️ Keep playing that funky music white boys❤❤❤❤❤.

My God, they perform and sound as just as they did 40 years ago! This era is to be cherished as this level of talent will never be repeated and someday be a memory.
It's pretty amazing how much it sounds like the original studio version considering Graham Gouldman (the bass player) is the only member of this particular line-up that appeared on the original recording.
@@Sbrownlee I was going to say the lead singer is too young to be one of the original members but WOW what a voice. Great job. Sounds almost like the original version.
Music has the power to take one back to the time when they heard it and recall life memories. The power of the mind is more of a force than most realize.
Well, Lol Creme is on record as stating that it's the best track that he's ever had the pleasure of being involved with, so I suppose that it holds a pretty special place in all of their hearts...and why not?
The seventies is when the magic happened, this is what I call music. I want to go back. I have come to the realization that I have found a Time Machine, it's called RU-vid.
agreed... so few bands are able to catch the perfection of the studio version.... here they totally do. Mick Wilson on vocals and guitar is magnificent...as are all the other musicians... professional and talented..
Yes it is possible. Remember though the artists have had 48 years to refine, practice and prepare, and are using today's technology. What seems tough to believe is that this song was written that long ago, and has been giving me chills every time I hear it.
Was 14 when this song came out. Dropped in rank from 1st to 38. What does life holď for me. Always had a fear deep down. Pulled up my socks and sleeve and decided to work. Today at 62, beautiful wife, loving son, 7 houses in two countries. It is all a gift from GOD.
I graduated in 1973, was going steady with the person I would marry in 1977. He took my virginity, but after giving him 3’boys, he cheated on me and I kicked him out. I lost my home, inherited land, animals, but I kept my 3 boys. Was hell! Fast forward to now, our 3rd son got married. He and his wife were there. He finally apologized to me after 30+ years and said he made a mistake and never should have left me. I cried, we hugged. Some hurts can never be mended.
I was 12 years old when this song came out. I always loved the stereo affect. I remember riding in an air-conditioned car on the way to Summer Camp. It was like a three-hour trip and this song was played on the radio three times and every time I was mesmerized by the effects of the music.
I just saw this and burst out crying. This is music, I miss those days and know we will never have such perfection with such feeling. Godspeed my friends, Godspeed!!
Without rock & roll of the 1950s followed by the pop explosion and innovation of the 1960s the 70s would not have been there. It was evolution of the very best.
As a wee boy I was too "cool and tough" to listen to 🎶sissy LoVe SoNgs 🎵like this, and we had copious slurs and taunts for any p*ssies who did 🤦♂ Only much _much_ later as a jazz musician did I appreciate the brilliance and sophistication of countless tunes I once trashed in my insecure acceptance-starved youth. _Just the changes alone_ on this beauty are bloody _sublime_ 🙌 I proudly cover it today even lol, and this impeccable performance revealed some passages I've been playing wrong!
I was 13 when this song came on the radio ! in my brothers 1967 mustang on our way to see my dad in the hospital at saint Joes he died from cancer later.! year was 1976 in Milwaukee! i went to john Burroughs junior at the time . every time i hear this song it brings me back to that time era. i moved to Marion Wi in 1991 i play it often D.S.
En 1987, a la edad de 14 años, Dios me envió una noche esta canción por la radio, después de ser rechazado por una niña que amé en mi mente y corazón. Entendía un poco el inglés así que supe que fue como una medicina para mi alma joven y también comprendí que el amor era como un juego, donde se podía ganar y perder ❤. Hoy, a mis 50, sólo deseo que Dios bendiga a aquella mujercita y que sea feliz donde se encuentre 🙏😊.
@@lt7378 yes. Mick Wilson. I finally remembered. He stayed with the band for a few years but is no longer with them. He has a great voice but comes across as conceited in social media and interviews. Lol.
Me, too. A lot of songs from our music brings my tears. It’s so beautiful, it is bittersweet, so much of our lives are in this song, and, for me, many more. 😢❤😊
ooo, well, you're never too old to feel sad or emotions.. emotional.. Judy, wish we were together to drop our tears..hi, wish you all red roses and better weather to come.. and virus to gogogogooo
Just discovered this live version...oh wow...this was posted 12 years ago and I'm finding it now at 2:30 in the morning....what a fantastic live sound, one of my favorites, I have a confession, I have always heard "be moist and quite" but its actually "big boys dont cry"....I still hear "be moist and quite"...to me its morbid as I'm imaginating being buried 6 foot down finally at peace....freed from love...but that's just me...;)
I know I am old guy but here it is 2019 and music Like this takes me back to the 70's when they really wrote and sang great songs of that era. But I guess times move on and that is just the way it is.
Aww man, I could listen to this song 1000000000000 times over and still never get tired of it! Some 48 years later and they still "fit in" ...yea don't see today's young punks making music like this anymore!!
I was 16 and it was the best time of my life and I knew it then and appreciated it very much. I partied like a fool (I live in Fort Lauderdale Florida LOL talk about babes!) worked at a bar! Yes at 16 lol and drove a Dodge Charger… my first car. I don’t smoke any more, but remember weed was $20 an OZ! Rolled a joint from the rolling paper that came with Cheech and Chong Big Bambu album… 😂
I agree, never gets old. BUT when this was hit I was stationed at Camp Foster Okinawa when I was in the US Marine Corps. My girlfriend sent me a "Dear John Letter" I was heartbroken 💔
@@usmc-veteran1955 how many years ago was that?! Seems like a really long time ago, my friend… Please tell me that you got over your heart ache? 🤷♀️☺️
@julieyoutu it was 1975. I finished my 4 yrs in the Marine Corps in 1977. After that, I dated a lot of girls. Leap Year Evening, 29 Feb 80, I went out on a "Blind Date." Fell in love, and we were married on the First Day of Spring 21 Mar 81. So the Dear John Letter back in 1975 was the best thing to happen to me
@@usmc-veteran1955 YAY🤌❣️ Your story is as romantic as this song is. Good for you 🤌🤗 I wish you continued happiness and thank you for your service! (Even though I’m Canadian 🤭)
This brings back such memories of hope and great times!! Flashes of scenes at the beach, going to the pool, movies, friends of all races, board games, spades, volleyball, basketball and cheating at Spades!! Young people listen up: it’s JUST LIKE the old people told me when I was 13!! Now I’m OLD and wondering where did the time go? How did I reach 60? 🤣🤣🤣 Time flies so make every day count.
Jestem chyba jedyną Polką, która teraz słucha i docenia tak wspaniałą muzykę. Jestem z tego dumna i szczęśliwa, że mogę słuchać tak pięknej, niepowtarzalnej muzyki! Jesteście cały czas wielcy i niepowtarzalni!!!
I agree another good live performance is heart with these dreams done in Seattle about ten years ago you'll know your watching the one im talking about annie has no shoes on they did alot of that song but the one in Seattle is breathtaking like this look it up peace from Brooklyn New York
I can remember write it in the car with my mother when I first heard this song, roughly about the year 1975. Every time I hear it it always brings by those memories when things were so simple. The Sun shined brighter, the food tasted better, and life was so much simpler. Hell, things are so now different than they were back in the seventies, you can no longer see Saturday morning cartoons.
Tell you now. Manchester, England, has exported some of the best bands and artists ever. 10cc, Oasis, The Smiths, Joy Division, The Charlatans, The Stone Roses, The Verve, The Courteeners, Bee Gees, Happy Mondays, Inspiral Carpets, Simply Red, The Chemical Brothers, Buzzcocks and the list goes on and on. It is amazing
Yeah. Sorta. But I was 19 when this song came out and blew everyone away. Good memories, but I'm much happier and wiser than the kid I was in those years. Man did I do some stupid stuff.
