Wherever you are Robert. We, who appreciate great artist's and vocalists, are still listening and loving your music. RIP man. You will never be forgotten.👌👌👌
One thing I respect about him in this concert, is that he's rocking that suit the whole time! When in reality he's probably sweating to death in that thing! R.I.P. Robert Palmer! ❤
This performance was done six years before Robert Palmers death. He was 46 at the time this video was made and still sounding quite good. Who would think that he would be gone by the age of 52 when he had a fatal heart attack in his hotel room in France.. Robert was an outstanding singer and performed music from soul to ballads to hard rock. This song is my favorite. RIP Robert, you gave us many enjoyable moments.
+dlagrua Robert was actually 48 here and died at 54 so you're two years out - not important in the grand scale of things. I totally agree with you - he was an outstanding singer and performer. Miss him
I remember watching his performances on Don Kirchner's Rock Concert and Burt Sugarman's Midnight Special. He was AWESOME NO matter what he sang. He could do hard rock, R+B and soul. His voice was distinctive. You knew it was him from the very first note. I regret never seeing him LIVE in Concert.
The Guitarist on the Right of Robert is Eddie Martinez. ROBERT'S Guitarist and Prior to Robert's Passing, His Very Close Friend. Max Weinberg and Company are Good. Eddie is GREAT !!! Too Bad They Didn't Let Him RIP Like He CAN !!!
Robert Palmer is one good singer….. man can really use those pipes of his….. this is one great concert of his…. love it to be released on DVD….. sooner rather than later……. RIP ROBERT !!!!!!!
The song that introduced Robert Palmer to me in 1980. I used to hear it on the radio when I was in the last year of high school. RIP Robert Palmer and John Moon Martin.
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cannot believe I have not seen this yet. Robert Palmer should not be gone, I should be.
Checking out all RU-vid versions of this song tonight and it's clear that even though this must be the millionth time he had performed this iconic song, Robert P is still having a ball with it. The pitch of his voice had dropped a tad in later years but that growly, more gravelly quality has only added to the performance in my opinion. Whew.
So much more to this guy than just "addicted to love" and "simply irresistible"...much more soul than I gave him credit for, as well as being a class act all the way. RIP.
now look i have nothing against nickelback but i mean come on you can dress in jeans have long blond hair big detuned guitars and still you are not an inch of robert palmer he s wearing a suit and has short hair but he s badass he s got the voice and the attitude
In 1980 I was a college freshman. On my dorm floor we had "Secret Santa's" at Christmas - where all the girls had the boys, and the boys had the girls as our "Santa's" - and the more creative Santa's made us perform stunts to get gifts for weeks before Christmas - through notes, etc - while remaining anonymous. My Santa made me dress up like a doctor, and go from door-to-door on the girls side - knocking on each door - and singing "Doctor, Doctor, give me the news, I've got a bad case of loving you", at each door. I didn't mind because we had some really cute girls on the floor . That will always be my memory of this song.
I saw him in a interview he said he would sometimes forget lyrics so he would lay the songs out on the floor of the stage @ 2:54 you can see them on the floor
