The Chameleons, Full Set, Darker Waves Festival, Huntington Beach CA, Nov. 18, 2023 Setlist: In Shreds Singing Rule Britannia (While the Walls Close In) As High as You Can Go Tears In Answer Swamp Thing
13:13 is "Tears," one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my life, and what I feel is the Chameleons' best song. I have seen the Chameleons many times, but had never heard it live before, and was astonished that they played it. It was worth coming to this festival from Boston just to hear it live!
it's my favorite of theirs too . I saw them at the living room in RI in 87, and this line up just a couple of months ago. thank you so much for posting this!
I was at this too, great set, I had the pleasure of meeting Mark when they played San Diego, nice bloke and his voice is on point. I was hoping for "Don't Fall" 😢
@@lisaleming1222hi Lisa, where can I message you? I'm always looking to connect Chameleons fans and especially people who love Tears. I almost fell over when they played this Saturday. I came from Boston and that alone was worth it for me! I am in Florida January and February and found chameleons fans down there! I would like to start a Facebook Messenger group chat for chameleons fans. So give me your info. Thanks!
Too bad they didn't play my favurite song Second Skin. They are from Middleton which is 5 miles from my old house before I immigrated. I did see them play live in Manchester in 1981 before I left. Great band . Was hoping for Up The Down Escalator too.
I flew across the country & went to the festival in part to see them. Got stuck in traffic and missed their set. Thank you for uploading. Not all lost though / had a great time overall.
I need to catch a full two hour set by them, hopefully later this year they come back to SoCal. This festival was such a highlight of my year last year, I got to see so many bands I've been wanting to see for ages. The Chameleons being one of them.
I was very lucky to see them several times this year as they did a couple of US tours. And I saw them in Europe a few times. Now. I am wondering when will I see them again?
I had not heard this beautiful song by them "As High As You Can Go" either in concert. And I have seen them a lot! Apparently it is about their near-record deal with CBS that they turned down, because CBS wanted them to be something that they weren't. Out of tune boys, out of tune boys Signposts to the sun Single file boys, single file boys Signposts to the sun High as you can go Lennon to Munroe Claw their way to the stars High as you can go Lennon to Munroe Clawed their way to the stars I think they knew And I don't care who you are Just sign the line And away you fly Unexpectedly rejected Safety for the few Same excuses resurrected None of them are true High as you can go Grace Kelly to Garbo Clawed their way to the stars High as you can go Grace Kelly to Garbo Clawed their way to the stars I think they knew No I don't care who you are Just sign the line and away you fly Take a chance and join the dance And you can make the sound Take a chance and join the dance And we can go to ground Go to ground And I don't care who you are Just sign the line and away you fly
@SusieDavidsonBrookl Ooooh thank God. I almost exclusively went to see Darker waves from Chicago to see Perfume Garden so I was devastated when I missed them. Knowing they didn't play it takes a massive load off my shoulders
