Absolutely ridiculous how good he is. The older I get, the more I genuinely appreciate the talent from bands from my younger years. The shit we all took for granted. Amazing
I had the pleasure of being in this audience. the boys in the cowboy hats a minute in were in the pew in front of us. Then we were off to a local club. Andy did a dj set. Vince leaned against the bar having beers. And we danced with the band ! (to Goldfrapp Oh la la la la) I remember it well !
Still gives me goosebumps....my teens were spent singing along with Erasure....am knocking on 50 s door now and still got goisebumps they are fantastic
omg, the country twang really gives this another dimension! just proves a great song sounds good in whatever genre it is played. andy's vocals had matured really fine
One of the most demanding vocals for a male voice in any pop song ever. I was lucky to hear Andy Bell in San Francisco a while back and he didn't disappoint.
@@johnpratt8652 So did I. My mum bought me tickets for my 18th birthday and I went with my first girlfriend. I recall that Adamski opened, but without the actual singer from KIller, who turned out to be Seal). It was still a great experience though.
The wonderful thing about music is that it is universal. When there a song is great like this one, with such great performers, it transcends sexuality, religion, even culture. We feel it on a cellular level. We move without conscious effort. We sing along without realizing we are doing it. In music we are all one people. We are at peace. We love one another.
I love that they aren’t completely destroying this song by making it into some weird tech remix to impress today’s youth. This version’s got respect for its original fans; a less frenetic beat, a more nostalgic tone, but just as uplifting as it was for us 30 years ago! 🥰
Holy shittballs ... that was epic ... i think we in the 80 ties didn't really realize what talent we had in those days. We knew the music was good, but damn all these artists from that era are truly amazing. I guess it needs a bit of time to sink in how truly blessed we were to grow up in that era with all those amazing bands ...
It never ceases to amaze me how flexible Andy and Vince are. It takes a lot of talent and why not, humbleness, to re build their songs from their electronic core to make them sound like real southern tunes to please their audience. I know that deep down Andy also made some concessions given the venue they were playing at but that's what makes them music royalty. The fact that they think of their audience and how to engage with them best rather than thinking that whatever they do they must be worshipped. Another great show Andy and Vince. Hats off to them.
I have been thinking that a country cover of this song would be great. Turns out, it's already been done. And by the original band, no less! I love these guys!
Andy unique voice and vocal range along with masterful song writing by Vince Clarke has made Erasure’s sings so endearing. Brings me back to all the good times in my youth and their concert in Sydney.
