Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel performing MAKE ME SMILE (Come up and see me) from the album The Best Years of Our Lives, Royal Albert Hall, 28 June 2014, guest appearances by Stuart Elliott & Jim Cregan No copyright infringement intended.
Anyone else old enough to have seen the Rebel in their pomp in the mid seventies? A real treat wasn’t it. RIP Steve. Thank you for the music and memories
God bless you Steve Harley. You were/are without doubt my favourite musical artist of all time. Saw you many times including the Human Menagerie/Psychomodo tour which was so special. R.I.P Steve.
Just bloody brilliant I've been watching and listening to them for overforty years. I think a lot of people need to realise many older musicians still have it
(2019) I've come from the future..{2020) .slipped back to the past and visited this concert.....circa whenever..{2014)...and this IS STILL an amazing performance.....so well structured...BUT MORE THAN THAT....friends enjoying their craft together..such talented people...we should all be thankful that they passed our way. I know I am.
One of the greatest ever.R.I.P Mr Steve Harley,i had the pleasure of seing him live in 79,just once but enough to stay fan forever.Timeless Flight my top 10 Albuns ever
It is so hearmelting to see, hear there are still fab musicans still around us ... playing oldie tunes again ...may they be with us for another 40 years or more :-) After a decade when this moves the soul nomatter your age .... it proves they were in the greatest music generation!
I can remember buying the single in about 1974 and literally playing it to death, and i still love it, it's up there with the very very best pop songs of all time....
So many fantastic memories of this band from 1974. Steve Harley is such a great showman and a real genuine musician who has always connected with his audience in the most human way. I bought this song in 1975 and still have it on vinyl, EMI 2263
Steve Harley still has a remarkably youthful voice, bless him. Many a singer of his age can't claim as much - their vocals having been shot with wear and tear.
@@iansoutryer3189 Nah, I don't agree. He appealed to me, a confirmed heterosexual. Even now, to me, he oozes sex appeal. Anyway that's irrelevant. He's a star and I wish him and his family the very best.
Cool song. And he makes some awesome motorcycles, too!😁 Seriously though, this has got to be the most perfectly written and arranged rock/pop song that ever was.
Bought the Single in 1975, at the age of 14. Been a Fan since Sebastian, which was in the Charts in Germany when I was 12. Saw the Band 1989 at the Colosseum in Ludwigshafen. Great Audience.
I never realised that when i sang this on its first radio release with lads in a kitchen that 46 years later i would still sing this at top voice and love it. Legendary anthem.
So beautiful the relationship between Steve and Cockney, ALLWAYS smile and laugh"spot on" hem they finish the solo guitar, eheh, fantastic, huge, Mr. Steve Harley!!!😀😀💖✨
One of my prized vinyl albums from 1969, I think, is the double live concert. Got the urge to dig it out and relive the good times I pity Today's youth having to put up with the dross, we were the luckiest generation by a mile.
Legendary, absolute. I couldn't be there, it hurt me that much. What a show and what i nice recording, what an artist, Steve Harley, Jim Cregran, Stuart Elliot, what a musicians... And what a show!
Wow, great audience, great location. I think in germany only a few people remember Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel these days (although the song is still famous). Good to see, that the great musicians of the old times are still rocking.
Funny intro, leading into a genuine pop music classic. Nice to see Jim Cregan roped into this too (orign. Cockney Rebel and later many years with Rod Stewart).
I’m sorry, but I disagree. I appreciate he’s a lot older, but he’s not singing it properly, or singing at all. I was so looking forward to hearing it sung as it was on the record. I’m so glad I didn’t buy a ticket! Jim Cregan the original guitarist (who left to join Rod Stewart) played his solo well.
Seen Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel live last night in Manchester, Brilliant music and songs. Still got it ,Got the audience involved like the Albert Hall show.Good to see some of the musicians are still playing with him.Hope he rerecords Mr Soft (gypsy jazz style).
