Sparks - This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both Of Us / Amateur Hour 

Still BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the post, amazing performance and sublime editing.

Ron used to terrify me as a kid. Now I see he's absolutely hysterical. 😅

I'm a musician and you mix Edith Piaf and rock and roll and you got Sparks,they're different but super talented. Bob

This band have been consistently brilliant for over 40 years. Great to see Russell still singing so well!

Incredible! Russell is still doing his falsettos, just like many years ago, and Ron... Ron is still Ron.

Stumbled upon it, my Father passed away more than two decades ago and this along with Blondie was his music. I enjoyed seeing them in such good form years past when you think they would be defunct.

I'm stunned that almost 50 have passed since the first and only time I've had the opportunity to see Sparks in concert. They were great then and they're still great now.

Russell’s voice! Just wow! Still sounding brilliant

I rarely comment on you tube videos he sounds bloody amazing !

Russell has still a brilliant voice!

Ron..... still scaring the shit out of me forty years later!!!

he still sounds like the original version amazing

For those who don't know, Sparks was featured in the movie, Rollercoaster.

Saw them in Nottingham on that tour,totally class and brilliant

The guy on the Keyboard looks like scatman John. Thx for uploading, it's erm... special and kinda catchy.

Ron Mael for President!

I like it that Ron has got Ronald on his keyboard and not Roland. :)

Einfach überirdisch. SPARKS. Unsterblich. TOP.

Best band ever

So fantastic to see them getting some recognition. Amazingly inventive guys. I was in the fan club in 1974!

Ain't it a bloody shame we all have to grow old...

Wow that second song , I haven’t heard it since it first came out back in the day ….. 😊😊😊😊👍👍👍

.absolutely brilliant!

Great song and performance

bloody fantastic... orig key too

OMG brings back my days at high school in the UK :)

Good to see Ron is still changing the name of his keyboard to Ronald .

What an honour it must be for the band to play with Ron & Russell

Great stuff...great survivors...but more importantly, they’re talented and incredibly hard working performers

Excellent

Ron's gaze !!!!!

My childood, and first love. I love you!

Just as good as they were in 70s

Amazing he still got it

- ambiance ambiance - génial !

My favourite version. Guitarists were on top form.

Love shots of a young trendy audience trying not to rock too much to these aged pop stars...the looks on their faces say that they are in the presence of greatness! Great support from the band!

Wow! Just heard this song on a Apple IPAD commercial just now!

Russ is in a unique group of pop stars who can sing "exactly" the same as they sang 50 years ago. Actually, I cant think of any others.

wow they still sound great

Fantastic ! Super live performance .....

Bravo les gars! Toujours là avec une musique qui n'a pas pris une ride !!!!!

Wouldnt have expected Russell's speaking voice to be as deep as it was.

WOW time has stood still for the Sparks. This doesn't sound any different than it did in the 70's infact it sound better. It's great to see that the brother's are still doin g what they do so well after all these years and long may it continue.

Still a good singer

Superb well done lads

Sheer brilliance

Very nice Sparks - Band. Thanks my Brothers. 👍👏

woOH wonderful band !!!

Still brilliant top men 👍👍👍

Stunning

You still rock, guys! As if over 40 years we're nothing!

the back thumping drumbeat so suits this track.

This may the the hardest-rocking band that the Maels have engaged since the 70s. This stuff is simply better than what contemporaneous bands like the Stones can manage. The Who still do some great live shows, but are unable to provide new songs of quality anymore. Whereas, Ron and Russell are still knocking them out of the park. Congrats, guys! You managed to outlast them all, and with style.

Oh my. Still the same amazing voice, amazing energy, and the charisma…. Plus, both brothers are still very handsome and manly😊

just amazing

Wow, just Wow!!!!!

wow I just heard about this band tonite...strange...I love it

Amazing performance, Ron will always be in character without even having to try because has just aged into his persona lol . Brilliant live, I wish them well they are part of my era musically

70's music, knocks spots off of today's crap!

They are still as good as in 70's SUPER!!!

i can only hope i am as wonderful when i get to their age, an inspiration, genius.

Absolut brilliant... One of my alltime fav. Songs....

Timeless

Bloody marvellous! Thanks for the upload! :-)

Pre-Queen..........amazing. Art 🎸 rock Unique songwriting🎶🎵🎶🎵

Russel looks older but can still hit the high notes as if he were 22.

YESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I needed this!

And to think this track was magnificently conceived in Scarborough England!!! I think?

Brilliant !!!

Wow pitch perfect after how many years .great song .

Still a amazing duo - as evidenced by this clip. I was a bit annoyed that BBC 6 Music did not broadcast the concert in its entirety - has anyone uploaded the full set yet?

My goodness. How does Russel still have that voice? The band sounds terrific.

I can’t help but love this tune

Ain't it a bloody shame we have to grow old.....

Just as good today as it was back when released

RESPECT

American?? How have I got through the last 40 plus year’s not knowing this?! Still sound 👍

LIVE! Unbelievable

My entire life I've believed this band was German. I just discovered today that they're from L.A. My whole life has been a lie. Brilliant performance though.

ghostlyyyy & so modern :) Sparks 50 years ahead ;)

Yeah...........Still great!

They’re so good I’d swear they were British!

Ребята братья вы супер

the best DUO ever.

wow!

A Blast from the past..

Still a great record,

His voice is still unique and the same as when I saw them them in London at The Rainbow, Finsbury Park in the 1970s.

Russell's voice still very much intact. This life ain't bad enough to degrade Sparks :-)

Still sounds the same what a voice fantastic

Awesome classic band

Finally, Sparks are getting their due! 🤘🌹⚡🎸🥁

How to age extremely well. 1. ❔ 2. Wtf this is incredible

He has changed, he doesn't have the hitler mustache anymore. Looks like the same shirt though. I watched the original promo after watching this and found, yes, they can still perform "this town.........", absolutely awesome. It's only taken RU-vid 5 years to recommend this upload.

Close your eyes and try to find the differences between this and a 1974's live version. There's little, if at all, that can tell you we're in 2017.

Never knew Mark Heap was such a good singer :D

superb song with so much energy....re Paul B...for sure!!!! so much crap about.

Мощно!

Still amazing. These guys haven't aged a day. How can a voice stay that fresh after all those years?
