The absolute greatest thing about SOS and classics like You On My Mind is that the band always manages to take each live performance and renditions of these hits above and beyond the original versions. It's mildly shocking to realize these songs are now nearly 30 years old and they still sound fun, fresh and vital. And for those who have seen them perform live, they are simply phenomenal! Classy and flawless are just some of the words I can describe Corinne, Andy and their live and studio band. I loved them back in '86. And I love them even more now. And that is HUGE!
Great review of this underrated band. I was 14 when their hit "Breakout" hit the airwaves here in the states sometime during the fall of '87. I only knew of that hit, but knew I liked their sound, and it remained one of my favorites until 2005 when RU-vid was in its infancy. That's when I discovered what I'd been missing all my life. Their sound is so cosmopolitan and timeless. This performance is incredible. I hope that a clear recording of this is released.
@@RazorFriendly Thank you! When you get the chance, try to get the CD of "Live At The Jazz Cafe." It's only available as a Japanese import, but may be available elsewhere as a download or bootleg version. It's a great live show and a great-sounding recording. I saw them live both in Los Angeles and San Diego in the late 90's/early 2000's and in both cases, they bring a horn section with them. In the San Diego show, Andy was absent and according to Corinne, he doesn't like to tour. And it's rare enough that they do, especially in the U.S.
@@RazorFriendly Just found it. This clip looks like one of the Jazz Cafe shows in video form: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vWQ3gXR_nEU.html
They always look like they are having lots of fun doing their tunes. This is what the world is supposed to be like. Meaningful tunes, whimsical, slices of life.
Way back 90' I watched SOS' concert in Manila. superb performance by Corrine Drewery and the band! T'was a fantastic night! The following day I got a memo coz' I was absent on my night shift.
The last words sang on this number are "Your Heart Blames It On You This Time" which are lyrics taken from Stevie Wonder's "Blame It On The Sun". This is a fab fab fab version of an ace ace ace song
I’ve always dreamt of having my wedding reception at the Netherland Plaza in Cincinnati, and have SOS as the entertainment. It would be a memorable evening.
hello giorgio - can you tell me the name of the second singer/vocalist ? Can you also tell me the names of the rhythm section? Thanks for this wonderful video! I love this song !!
