Roddy Frame (Aztec Camera) - Oblivious (Acoustic Live) 

2 of the greatest singer/songwriters of a generation watching a "wee" Scottish guy singing, both in awe of his greatness...

Oblivious is one of the very best songs ever written. Takes me back to the wonderful 1980s. What a truly special time it was for music. Roddy Frame is an excellent and superbly talented guitarist.

Aztec Camera opened for Elvis Costello in August, 1983 in my hometown of Madison, Wisconsin. The power went out for a stretch, and Roddy and the boys did an acoustic version of Oblivious. It was incredible.

Absolutely brilliant. High Land, Hard Rain is one of my all time favorite collections.

Roddy is beautiful in presence and voice.

Roddy Frame. Top songwriter. Top singer. Top, top guitarity. Clearly a top bloke, too.

This band is so underrated

If you ain't drooling you ain't alive!

Let´s not forget he was 19 years old when he released this song.

Being into the American blues/rock scene I really never heard of Roddy, I gotta tell ya, this guy kicks ass man! I would have loved to see this show live!

I remember watching this on the telly, not really being into Roddy Frame, watching really for Neil Finn... but fuck me this song blew me away and I think Roddy stole the show...:)

They both know the song. What a wonderful night that must have been, would have loved to see it. Such a good songwriter, guitarist, singer. And always smiling. Beautiful song, Roddy is fantastic

Roddy Frame - one of the all-time greats. Music sounds as fresh today as it did in the 1980s.

still had a great voice. those guys seem really nice and down to earth

Brilliant song writing. Wonderful vocal 💯💯💯💯

The 80s 💪

Absolutely brilliant, what a voice!

How good is this classic! Wow!!!

You've got to love Roddy - he's amazing!

Wow... how could anyone not like this..? Boggles my mind....

Roddy’s singing, sigh, is a bit more swoony on this version. Kept wanting Graham and Neil to do the Ahh chorus like on the studio version from 83. Still, absolutely love this version and performance. Thx for posting

80s musician were and are true artists

What talent was on display here: every aspect from the songwriting to the performances. Great to see artists who were so obviously enjoying themselves too.

Wonderful version of one of the greatest songs ever written. Roddy is a legend.

saw these programmes first time on tv could do with repeats great classics

Roddy is just SO good...but why didn't Neil and Graham do the "oooo, ahhhhhhh"'s?

Great pop song with a load of jazz chords.... pretty rare!

Saw him in a tent at Belladrum festival 7 years ago whilst Travis headlined the main stage. Just him and his guitar, sublime

Roddy Frame - no other words needed ❤️ one of the best collabs 👍

Talent that you don't find these days, but nevertheless brilliant.

Like your style and chord progressions in arrangement. Nice on the ear too. Good melody.

Talented singer and guitarist

Found this about a week ago..well Neil actually ( its deep that is Neil) so looked for rest of gig ,,RODDYS AND GRAHAMS bits ...and great stuff...now searching for other artists nights...

Ahhhh 1983 such fun such fun

Badass totally 80’s 👏awesome

Gettin' cross-eyed trying to watch the chords. o_O Awesome performance! :)

Love, love, love this song!! FANTASTIC MAN!!

Opened for Elvis Costello 80s hollywood? I had never heard of them what an awesome opener to the master👍👍

That's a Concord on stage jamming. Love it x

Brilliant coming together of top talent

Just a great song. Brilliant guitar work from Roddy here.

Saw them in 1983 at night moves Glasgow. About 200 people 😁

This song had a special place in my personal development as a young person. Ah. Thanks Roddy, well done.

ah man, he is so good. shivers.

thank you, Roddy x

It has THAT MELODY,you know when you hear IT !!!!

I love it. The man is a genius!!

even though four years ago... he sounds as good now as he did in 82-83.

Ironically I'm from East Kilbride (two years below Roddy at school), lived near Te Awamutu and love both Aztec Camera and Finn Brother stuff. Spoiled!!

Wow look at that; 3 talented singer-songwriters performing their compositions on stage whilst the audience sit in respectful silence until the end, not a mobile phone in sight. What a time to be alive back then. Also, I would rather watch a hundred episodes of this show than one of the interminable Later... but apparently we're too dumb to be allowed a treat like this these days.

Roddy is a prodigious virtuoso guitarist!! 🎶🎵

Roddy looks like he's having a great time!

OMG NEIL FINN too!! RF's voice is superb. HIGH LAND, HARD RAIN is an exceptionally good album. RF's guitar structures are sublime. I do prefer original version but not to compare, right!

he is so great. never misses a pitch

Oh, how cute he is !

Absolutely wonderful

love roddy

Guitar maestro

This - is lovely

Whats Roddy doing now? I love his music 😘

Awesome Acoustic Appearance

Wow!

aztec camera my first gig 1989 dublin xxx

Always said if I owned s pub that would be the name and your song would be played at closing time every night

Fabulous

Roddy reminds me of Paul Weller on that video!

Loved it, thanks!

What year was this performance? Roddy's voice has hardly changed, this song brings me back to when I was in senior school, if only I could travel back to the 80s.

Yes great song must get the album again !XXX

If you disliked this you have no soul!

my first gig

Steve Wozniak on guitar, purple shirt. Freakn sweet, bro!

I used to have this on a 45...

@joon1014" The Aussy" from Crowded House is a KIWI!

Where is he the noo?

♥♥♥♥♥

Singer/songwriters these days cant write a song like this.Its all about my girl left me blah blah blah etc.Pure shite,boring as fuck.This man can write a fucking song,what a legend

wow

Is that the Aussy from crowded hours? Did not expect him to fancy Roddy's music

Great track from a top guitarist.the bloke can shred too but not a metal head

Sometimes Roody sounds like Split Enz and others like Culture Club

How good is Roddy with a guitar, not to bad at singing either 👌

Does anyone know what model Takamine Roddy is using here?

1998

ace

This is amazing, but please sync the vocals with the video PLEASE.

@whitbyjet65 the scots never had an empire, for starters. i agree with you though, english should be allowed to be proud. it's just they aren't very good at it without turning all BNP

Anybody know if this is available as a DVD to purchase?

What year was this performance Keef ?

What year was this?

ACOUSTIC VERSION ?! Z Z Z Z Z Z . . . . . . . .

He my one artist when I listen to his cds I change my favorite from song to song.

I swear that’s lip sinked but I don’t think so.

What a fecking, sweetheart!
