Proclaimers : Live on Letterman 1989 (21 March) - I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)

A live performance of I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) on David Letterman, complete with an entertaining interview.
To clear up a common confusion, this song became an international hit and seeped into the global pop culture landscape in 1993 when it appeared on the opening credits of the film Benny and Joon. However the song was first released as a single in August 1988 where it peaked at #11 in the UK. This appearance is from March 21, 1989 when the twins toured the US to support their Sept 1988 album 'Sunshine on Leith'.
There are a lot of comments about where they are now. As of 2023 they have released 12 albums and continue to tour worldwide with a fantastic and tight live band. I encourage those interested to check out their live album recorded at the Belly Up in San Diego in 2016. bellyuplive.com/shows/the-pro...

Great guys, they came to my sick little cousins house in Northern Ireland at the height of their fame. He was extremely sick and his wish was to meet them. They flew over and they played for him in his house,all the family met them. The only thing they asked was no media on the day as it wasn’t why they done it. I remember it fondly. Brilliant guys.

Love this story. When my grandma was dying of cancer, my dad wrote a letter to the football coach of my grandma’s favorite team asking him to send her a card. Instead, he called her house and she hung up because she thought it was a prank. Still laugh my head off every time I think of it.

It was fun to be the talk of the event and the warmth of the people and their friendliness makes want to live there when I retire.

@mtpstv94 2 года назад

Let me introduce you to record companies and the conartists that run them. You would think the millions of little girls that screamed their heads off at Backstreet Boys and Nsync made them super rich too, but they were penniless at every point of their fame. Goo Goo Dolls owed about $400,000 after their probably most successful album. It goes on and on. Most bands that actually play instruments tour year 'round and barely can pay their bills. It's sad. This was long before Napster so they can't blame it on anything of the sort.

@mattpotter8725 2 года назад

@@mtpstv94 Whilst I agree with your sentiment and you're right record companies do take large cuts of bands profits but the sing writers of songs that get played over and over do make quite a bit of money if they retain the songwriting rights to their songs. I'm not sure who wrote the settings of the Backstreet Boys or NSYNC, but if it wasn't them they wouldn't have made that much, although they were hardly poor. The problem probably with a lot of artists came because they lived the high popstar lifestyle without having the income to back it up and didn't put money aside either for when they had faced back into obscurity. I agree they got screwed by the industry, but many had issues coming from their stardom, maybe before as well, and all the issues that came with that.

@MeneerHerculePoirot 2 года назад

Hopefully, they had a clause that reverted their publishing to them after a certain period. Most of the time the songwriters get half the publishing rights and the publishers get the other half. If they owned their own publishing they're definitely set for life. If not they're at least half set for life. An international hit like this can generate 10-20 million in mechanicals(sales) and another 40-50 in media spins. This song's in heavy rotation in alternative rock classic radio and has been used in several movie soundtracks. Most notably Benny And Joon. They're doing all right.

Who would of thought that this song would become even more famous 10 years later. -Courtesy of Ted and Marshall

@spencer7321 8 лет назад

Nope, Johny Depp is the only reason it was ever famous. Ted didn't do Shit for this song.

@sharkbowlproductions823 8 лет назад

Yea Johnny depp did give it some attention but they played it quite a bit on How I Met Your Mother which is a very popular shower which had the characters Ted and Marshal in a car that could only play that song

Actually it was Mary Stuart Masterson that talked them into playing the song in Benny and Joon. They actually already broke up but were able to kick start from the movie

@sharkbowlproductions823 8 лет назад

Joel Williams I know, but i'm saying that Johnny Depp is what people think of when they hear that movie and it was playing while Johnny Depp was doing his part

This is one of the only bands I've heard where the singer's accents are so thick, that they don't really fade when they're singing.

@davidbaines1425 3 года назад

Interesting.. Check out "Sweet surrender" by Wet Wet Wet.. If you know how thick Marti Pellows accent is, the "To you" bit seems kinda funny. But a very underated song anyway.

@BobPapadopoulos Год назад

You know. Something that always struck me about this is the backing band. They're all session workers and most likely at or near virtuoso level on their instruments... but look at the joy they get out of bashing away at three chords over and over just because the song is so catchy. Sometimes you just don't need to complicate good.

I was in the US in 1989, but I didn't hear of these guys until recently. I'm very impressed; they probably had to do a lot of rehearsal for what, 3 minutes of playing time, yet they were very humble and professional about it, not a hint of arrogance about them. Good on you guys, I really respect you!

@themgnt 2 года назад

I thought I had a Glastonbury video but I was wrong, it's from Sport Aid. Still a great, raw, performance. Most of the Glastonbury show is on a BBC Transcription disc. The missing tracks can be found on an over the air recording. It's an excellent performance. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XeuOZ8ADVS8.html
