Reminds me of the CB radio days of the 70's. I think it was written back then, when people had CB radios in their cars. It was like a stone age version of our cell phones of today.
I'm 58. My favorite Cousin, Diane, back in the 1970's was a little bit older than me so she used to get me alcohol and we hung out a few times and she was always playing Radar Love on her 8 Track Player.in her car. Well, my cousin died shortly thereafter in a Motorcycle accident, and since then, every time I here Radar Love, I think of her. She was so Cool... almost Angelic. Today, Diane's Mother, my Aunt Molly passed away at 88 years old. Aunt Molly was the most religious person that I have ever known, and went to Church most every day for the last 70+ Years to pray for her daughter Diane. Today, I picture their Reunion in Heavern hugging and singing and dancing together to Radar Love. Bless my Cousin Diane and my Aunt Molly in their Reunion in Heaven. I Love You Both!!!
I was 13 when this became 'my' song. I'm now in my beautiful 60s. If my family play this at my funeral I swear I'll kick the lid off my coffin and devil gate rock with the best of them.
This is a work of ART. Great song, great album. I had all of their albums but add this orchestra with its incredible artists and this masterpiece of a hit song is work of ART that recognizes the people that gave it to us so long ago. It was always on the radio . And its a time traveler. I can feel myself back in my Camaro 350 4 barrel 4 speed. 120 mph in the turns. I absolutely enjoyed myself listening to this.
That's like saying someone looks cooler than they did back in highschool in the 80's you really have nowhere to go but up, lol but yes I agree he does look cooler
@Professor Liberal Avenger That's subjective. It's a great song and this live performance is out of this world. Barry Hay being 61 here makes it even more impressive.
I was just 30 when I first heard this song. WOW and now I am 75 listening to him sing this song when the video was posted here on Dec 30, 2010. And sounds just like I heard it back then...
I believe his voice was overdubbed...meaning they used his voice from the original recording. If you listen to the original, and come back to this...exactly the same. That's not taking anything away from him, he's an awesome singer with an equally impressive voice and his showmanship his top tiered.
@@ronniepayne9893 definitely not overdubed. There's more rasp being used in his voice here and if you listen closely to the end of hard syllables he is leaving them open throat style, which you do when singing live. Example in studio he the word much was closed down with the ch, if u listen here he pronounces it muh. He is leaving his throat open to get to the correct key but also to the next phrase
@@davidernst1354 ,ok thanks for the lesson. But dosen't it sound exactly like the studio version? ,I'm probably not near as good as you are at picking things up like this, first time I heard this I was blown away at how good he sounded. Then rhe more I listened it sounded or reminded me of what bands did in the 70's,
You can tell he doesn't have quite the range he used to have, but damn he still sounds great and I sure hope I can look as good as he when I hit my 60's!
oh yes, yes definitely. To think that these guys, original band and not these young guys here lol. ... most of them are grandfathers LOLOL that's so awesome
I was about 23 when Radar Love came out and it is one of my all time favourites from the 60s and 70s . I wouldn’t give you 2 bob for this version - not a patch on the original .
