The Frog Princess, The Divine Comedy Live 1996 

This live version is a masterpiece. Soooooo much better than the studio one. Love it.

I miss my friend Miggy so much.... I hope your playing those drums in heaven my friend...

What gets me is the lack of views. This is performing artistry at it's best. The expressions and well just about everything is faultless. The general public in the main don't know what they're missing.

I saw them on this tour in Sheffield, so good. I love the end of this song, the bit the single version misses of.. that he does love.. himself.. her.. I always took that to mean he did love her all along, but not sure now..

Loved Neil and the Divine Comedy when I was a kid, and listening to it now just reminds me just how talented and clever he is. And their latest music is just as exceedingly good.

Incredible!

Wish we could see the rest of the footage - this is THE gig ! Thanks Miggy

5:10 to 5:25 Neil nailed those notes perfect. The big band live sound and this song are like peaches and cream with Neil in charge. Thank you for the post!

I love neil hannon he deserves a knighthood for his writing ...he is so innovative, he writes songs that are different and complex.and funny sometimes too?.he is unique in the music world and a master at what he does,...i really feel he has never had the recognition he deserves..xxx bless you neil..you have brought me so much joy in my life...xx

STUNNING!!!!! Found The Divine Comedy by chance, and now I'm hooked!

1996... The year of my wonderful discover about Neil and his divine comedy.... Always in my Heart ,thanks for sharing 👍👍

Genius!.. can´t stop hearing this brilliant song!

Was there. Fabulous gig. First time I've seen this and always wondered why film wasn't released. First time here 17 years later! Short Album About Love was recorded that day or day before in soundcheck. Terrific.

Best live performance I've ever (not) seen. Would kill to have been there

I love this version so much more than the album version. Seeing Neil's extra facial expressions, movements, and vocal flourishes really make it a special performance. Release the full concert, I say!

I 'm late to the party here, but this is a really great performance. A perfect example of how to put a song across.

How can it be almost 20 years ago! I feel old! :/

I'm over chuffed to have found this as I was lucky enough to be there at the SBE that night and have never forgotten it. What a top, top, band, you must be so proud to have been a part of it. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing.

Great to see this, as even though the film has finally been released, this song wasn't included. But desperately sad that Miggy is no longer with us

absolutely marvelous.....great song...great performance

In my memory at the end of A Drinking Song he jumped up on a grand piano in a kimono and splashed guinesss about, or was it champers. This did happen didn't it.

nice job. always the best tdc drummer

Neil (and Divine Comedy) at its best! I think Casanova is really the masterpiece of an entire (and superb) discography

Sublime.

Amazing.

4:19 drummer flicked his right stick. Seen this so many times and only just noticed! Quality drumming.

j'adore Neil

Wonderful.

My god, Neil was even cooler then!

oh my god THANK YOU!!!

Love these videos Miggy! Thanks for sharing... :)

sir neil hannon surely

Wow! Thank you =}

Quality

Genius..

Απιστευτος ο Ηannon!!!

I'm sure I'm the hundredth slavering TDC fan to say this but a) stellar drumming on this, and b) if you could post the rest of ASFAASAL I will be forever in your debt.

This smoking thing has got all out of hand!

is there any recording of the rest?

What is that opening horn part?

noni

Is he also smoking in recent years?

Neil is a miserable git. GEAT band though.

Love you always ..xx
