I did not know that Kevin Spacey could sing but he did an incredible job and has a great voice singing Mind Games in tribute to John Lennon!! What a performance!
I have not seen this vid before!!! Fuck!!! This is Kevin Spacey??!!!! He gave Lennon's song validation like I never expected anyone to give. Executed with power, emotion and Lennon's hypnotic charisma. My respect to Kevin Spacey. I am saving this in my favorites so I can see it over and over again. I have always liked Kevin as an actor but never knew he was a Lennon fan and like they say, "there is no better complement than copying someone."
He isn`t a professional ...true . Now he could be if he pursued with his band before becaming an actor . He was a lead singer of a band in the valley ....S Fernando . You don`t have to be professional to be good .
I Agree Mary, he is VERY VERY SEXY and even moreso now "older", Very Handsome Man, can Act, Sing, Dance- So So Talented, and just seems like an all around Nice guy, I wish I could date him LOL!!
I love the guy for his great talents but it has been more recent than 30 yrs...He was doing stuff on HOC set before his tower came crashing down. I hate what happened to him but you can't be a predator no matter how talented you are...Hollywood is finding that out now in a big way.
saw this the same nite,i used to play & any cover band worth it's salt knew the phrasing, the backing vocals the slide guitar & delivery of this wonderful song. as does Kevin, good job man!
we've seen his films & heard his comedy impressions but this??!! never knew he could sing like that! what a performance, he's great, what an amazingly talented guy he is!
I LOVE KEVIN ..WHAT A TALENT ..ILOVE THE WAY HE DOES THIS SONG ..AND HE'S A GREAT ACTOR AS WELL I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT WHAT THEY'VE PRINTED ABOUT HIM..HE'S ONLY HUMAN..KEEP ON TRUCKIN KEVIN..💜
Kevin Spacey in my personal opinion is one of the greatest talents I have ever laid eyes on, but when I witnessed this...I absolutely lost it! Ya see, like many of us, I was physically abused as a child AND adolescent, and this was the song I turned to for refuge after a daily beating or mind MUGGING! I try not to think of it much these days, But that was an incredible moment, and I wish I had seen it live! Thanx Kevin...I really mean that.
wallstreet academy I wonder since you say this john lennon song helped you get thru the abuse the went thru when you were young why do you think they have been making so many excuses for these disgusting pedophiles mainly because they've got lawyers to keep everything hush hush as we keep seeing but kevin who obviously has problems of his own they practically threw him to the dogs as they did bill cosby another performer I grew up watching and thought he made incredible contributions to the black community eventhough some of the black community wants to stay in trash mode they don't want to be better performer's . just look how the obviously afeminant , gay ryan seacrest get's treated like he did nothing wrong and the woman is a screwy person .
"Incredibly pissed off", is exactly what we should all have taken from John's murder. We could be better human beings if we really wanted to be, but that's hard work. There can never be a second John Lennon, and we are all poorer for his loss. Thanks for giving it voice, Kevin.
I remember watching this TV concert live and this being the performance that sticks with me. I was like: the kpax alien guy is hosting AND singing... and it is pretty dead on.
I loved Kevin's performance then: wonderful and amazing. And for some reason, I wanted to see it again, tonight. Hey, thanks RU-vid! I was able to. Definitely satisfying. Kevin - wonderful and respectful and forward-pressing!
With all the crazy things going on at the moment in the world, we need this now more than ever. What I love so much about Kevin Spacey, is ,besides is wonderful voice,how he as the wonderful actor he is, portrays the idea of the classic buisnessman and agressive politician and is the complete opposite . I just love to see him like this - bursting out like his hero John Lennon and just being himself and saying his point of view with the honesty of being "pissed off" as he is and taking all the hate and anger a making it in to such a beautiful artwork. I think its wonderful to see and listen to. Peace

Little acts of kindness, little things done and said EVERY DAY to complete strangers is a way to plant the seeds, send out the mind guerrillas to infiltrate the thoughts of people with peace and love, spreading the spirit and raising the hope. After what happened in Las Vegas, we need it.
Omg EXACTLY HIM THERES NO END TO YOUR TALENT KEVIN OMG AWESOME HE HAD A HOME OUT HERE ON THE ISLAND TOOOO YOUR THE BEST KEVIN 🏴💯💯🏴🇬🇧🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Just discovered this and I am rightfully amazed that KS can sing like this - who knew? The song itself, wow. It comes to my mind often like an idea someone is whispering to me, a soothing rightness of what could be. I remember where I was when I heard Lennon was shot. I wasn't even big into music then as I think I was a freshman in high school and just really discovering a broader world view including music. The lyrics to Mind Games are definitely reflective of the hippy-trippy generation, but in the sense of a "mind guerilla" standing and mentally pushing back against The Establishment, they're timeless. If only the world today could embrace this peace and love mentality and put it into action, what a change there could be. Sadly, I can't really even imagine it, Lennon pun intended.
Rob Jones “” GREAT COMMENT AND OH SO TRUE HES A MIRACULOUS GRACIOUS ARTISTIC GENIUS TO ME THERES NOTHING KEVIN CANT DO THEY USED TO SAY ABOUT MY IDOL BOBBY DARIN.

I've always like his acting but had no idea he sang as well. He's not great, but he is certainly capable of doing a creditable job at it. Thanks for posting this.

Spacey has always been a song-and-dance man who could also act like fruck. Check out "Beyond The Sea" where he plays Bobby Darin. Or singing Sinatra. He just today 5/27/17 was knighted for all his work at the Old Vic, and I can't name all he's done with his life. He inspires youth and embraces life.
