Del Amitri is almost like the definition of an underrated band. So many great songs, lyrics and melodies over the years. And Justin is just absolute nails as frontman/lead singer. And even tho I’m old and have 60 years of staunch heterosexuality behind me, I’m not afraid to say he is a good looking dude!
I ADORE Justin Currie & Del Amitri ! This is an amazing performance with the famous Paul Shaffer Band! Glad I stumbled on this gem! Justin Currie please come back to Texas! We miss you!!
@@ltdanu SO FUNNY-Iknow these two band personnnallly-LIVED IN TEMPE AZ for many years(fron liverpoooool uk)-crossed paths with the del boyzz many tmes -lol timothy
Am UK based and have travelled the country watching this terrific band. I'm close on 60 yrs old and my 26 yr old daughter comes with me..absolutely knows every word to every song. So underrated, terrific lyrics, melodies....the complete package.
I never tire of this vid. Watched it multiple times. I miss Letterman and the great band with Paul, Sid, Anton, and the solid Will Lee playing bass for Justin here and nailing it. The Dels were so good and this performance is great. Justin Currie wrote some amazing songs over the years, and this one is a favorite. The power pop vibe, the hooks, the lyrical twist at the end., just a great tune - everything you could want. This vid makes me acutely aware of how much time has passed since this aired and how we need to appreciate that which is special before it’s gone.
God it was such a better time, I miss it so, good music, no war no pan damn eck. Thank you Lord for at least sending me down before the world went to hell.
The rythem is really good, I listened to this song a long time ago, it brings back memories of my high school days. Thanks for sharing this. God bless.
I must have been under that same rock. Sorry I didn't notice you there. Yeah, great band right? I heard them in a grocery store and assumed it was a new song.
Not only that, it was for theft prevention. They thought that the CDs would be ripped off otherwise. Eventually they got rid of the "long boxes" when too many people complained that they were wasting paper. They were mostly filled with air.@@drillbittaylor9136
I'm happy to see others picked up on that. CD longboxes were considered wasteful packaging and the industry discontinued them in April 1993, if I remember correctly. I used to cut off the front of the longboxes and "tiled" my doors & walls with them in high school & college.
It is packaging that cds used to come in to protect them . The packaging had the artwork & songs listed on the back! Sadly we would rip open and throw in the trash.
