When the opening chords of that song starts at a Deacon Blue gig, you're about a tenth of a second away from the roof being blown off the place. The hairs on your neck stand up, the adrenalin pumps and you feel like you're part of a giant, writhing, screaming, singing entity. There's not a feeling on earth like it!
I saw them in Liverpool last night and I totally get your words! The whole place kicked off. There was no roof as it was outdoor. The sun was just setting to the side of the stage over the Mersey as everyone sang along. It's a moment I'll never forget and I've been too more concerts than I can remember!
American here, my roommate in college had the first album on CD, and we played that thing a ton. Someday I'm going to see Deacon Blue live and I hope to God they play this song. I will be able to die, having heard the two greatest songs live (in my humble opinion) - Dignity and Sting's Fortress Around Your Heart.
There's classics and classice but when every person between 14 and 55 years of age in your country knows every word of that song then you have a Real Classic
Blessed to have lived with the original time that Deacon Blue started... and OMG even more blessed to able to see them evey year singing the classics again. AMAZING, looking forward To Leeds, Sheffield and Manchester 2023.
Ste2442. I am from north east England. Glad you said they are playing in Liverpool. I will have to see if I can get a ticket. Dignity was my brothers funeral song 6th October 2022.
I worked for East Ren. Council 2012 to 2014. I did schools IT. I was told reliably tgat Loranne and Rickys children had gone to their local School round the corner from their house but had went onto high school by time I was the IT guy. The school had no parking so I'd parked on the street. I did my IT work got in my car but was blocked from laving by a Glasgow City bin lorry. On the radio came dignity.... he's a worker for the council. Has been 20 years. Surreal but very real.
One of the greatest songs of all time.
Their debut album 'Raintown' (from which 'Dignity' is taken) is a modern classic and is full of timeless songs that will probably outlive us all.
100% 👍❤
@@stephenalanmoore7278 Nearly every one of these tracks are played at their concerts now. Absolute Classics
@@stilb1te Exactly.

I have seen them several times and not once did it feel like that.

A working Class Anthem

Massive part of growing up in late 80s Liverpool , really looking forward to seeing them again this September in town (Liverpool ).

This was on the other night when I was flicking channels. Good programme charting Scottish bands and history.
Such a beautiful song, love the underlying story / meaning. Thank you DB.
great song , great story

Cool.
Brilliant glasgow humour to request that song while doing a job thats detroying your soul. 😂
❤❤❤❤❤
👍👍
John Maynard Keynes who would have thought😀
What bbc program is this clip from
It says in the video description.
Wish Scottish football fans would embrace it as our unofficial national anthem. Very uplifting!
Always found similarities between Dignity and some way that Springsteen has of telling stories
Absolutely beautiful song and having found out the meaning behind it i love it even more of that's possible ❤
Classic ! Wot more can u say !!
And to cap it all, Ricky is an Arab, fucking legend 😊 TWFDU
