This song just means so much to me ....it beings tears to my eyes its just perfect...I keep playing to my son ..... who loves music to. Thanks for the upload
For lovers of the Chameleons' /chameleonsvox / Mark's music: seeing and hearing 'em, live - it's more of a religious experience of sorts, deep within one's soul. (Though sing-a-long gigs, drive me mad!)
Wholeheartedly agree with you, absolutely fantastic band... Ppl I know who says the best bands from Manchester usually name the obvious.... Seen The Chameleons 9 times now.... Stay safe mate.
Gave me goosebumps. I saw them at the Electric Ballroom, Camden Town back in 85-ish. They had to call off the gig after one song because Mark Burgess’ voice was shot (a couple of us managed to get up on the stage to help him out with the singing but we sounded so bad, they cut the power immediately); went to the rescheduled gig which was fantastic. Their music is timeless, and has such a melancholic majestic power to it. Deserved to be huge. God bless them.
Yes I also went to that gig all excited to see them play- then as you said nothing came out when he tried to sing. Packed house that night and we all shuffled home. Didn't see them until last year in Oxford- absolutely brilliant but a missed memory methinks
Volkmar, could you enlighten me as to what camera/phone you used to film this? I would be most appreciative, and thanks for uploading this piece of magic. I'm teary eyed everytime I watch it.
I keep coming back to this as it captures the magic of audience participation so well. I'm traveling to Manchester for 4 days in December to attend the two nighter at the Ritz and have built my schedule around them. They don't know if the balcony will be open. I hope it is as the view is great. Seeing Johnny Marr in Manc the week prior too. Busy busy. Nothing like live music. 🖤
I was 2 days ago with them in concert ..marvellous group ..for me better than U2, , simple minds or the Cure.. I never understood why they didn t have success..may be music to complex ..but terrible for me..more than 50 beers.. this song is absolutely WONDERFULL
Some of the publicity was as C/Vox, but finding Reg was back and playing that was as close to original as you were going to get with the loss of John in 2017. The Ritz that night was magical as ever. @@pressureworks
I'd love to see those photos mate.... I got a photo of Mark stood by the side of the car I used to have.... The bonnet was air brushed with the album cover of What Does Anything Mean Basically?... That was in Bristol about 3 or 4 years ago.... He's a really nice guy to talk to as well.
Saw them here in Atlanta US. For their last tour. Got on stage and sung with birdie. Was also fortunate to see mark here on some solo acoustic shows. Evidently he has a great friend here in ATL. But yes, he is top notch.
