Yeah million percent agree this is pure talent to sing this as good now as he did back then and massive respect to terry and these guys for this performance
some of the comments here about Terrys appearance have really annoyed and upset me. having had the pleasure and privilege to have played bass behind him many times I can tell you that he still has more life in him and talent in his little finger than you lot can ever dream about. it's very easy to sit in the comfort of your home and slag off somebodies appearance- a little bit harder to get up in front of people and do what he does. a little bit of respect would be nice? and by the way Terry, pat and the mchughs this is a brilliant rendition of an even more brilliant pop song. keep rocking ter and ignore the comments of idiots who will never experience what you have done and can only dream about it
Richard, I delete comments if they are Nasty / Sexist / Real Smartarse, etc, but the majority for "Broken Land 2018" praise the Singing and the Song (a Real Classic)And so what if he looks older, it comes to us all (if we Live long enough!)
Richard, as long as Terry is healthy, that's all that matters. I have to admit I was taken back by this at first because all one really sees are the videos from the 80s and then this, so it looks very dramatic. But his voice is still exceptionally strong and this rendition of a classic is incredible.
Really well said Richard. Terry is my Best friend and I've known him for 50 years -starting in St. Malachy's College. I couldn't wish for a more kind, caring and loyal friend and I'd defend him to the death. "Broken Land" will Always be a classic song and Terry will ALWAYS be a legend at home and abroad. Hope all's good with you Richard. Take care & All Best.
Andrew Fallon it’s a wonderful example of life experience and age vastly improving the performance and felling in a song. Also pro uk harem whiter shade of pale 45 years on in 2012 live radio performance attests to this. Also amazing.
@@malcolmclarke3033 I'm the ONLY person I know who has the album. It NEVER ages. This version is SO heartwarming. And he's still got that FUCKING voice. 😍
I’ve commented on this video before & yet,here I am again being drawn to it ,it’s SUCH a class performance by everyone involved & Terry is STILL incredible …..why is this song not more popular & played more today??….utter class & SO different from the crap that passes as ‘music’ today !!!!
Never heard this sung live before,what an absolute pleasure to my ears.Takes me back to my younger days,so sad that we all have to grow old.Age has no bearing on this guys voice and I am sitting here smiling and happy ..............
Driving from Wishaw to Hamilton in my wee Ford Fiesta, this came on Atlantic 252. I nearly crashed the car it was so good. Had to keep the radio on 24/7 so the blabbermouth DJ finally told me who the band was......finally intae Glasgow Tower Records and “Sea of love” was mine. Played it at my wedding.........and listen to it regularly. What a song, WHAT A BAND. How this didn’t get to number one is almost mysterious as life itself. Thank you Adventures.......thank you for making such brilliant music.
@@Sandwich13455 Impulse records pal, just in the precinct next to the post office. Superb shop. I absolutely love the Adventures, criminal that they never got the recognition. Atb 👍👍
The whole Sea of Love album still sounds brilliant. Saw the Adventures at Wembley in 1987/88 supporting Fleetwood Mac. Based on the quality of this performance I'd love to see them again.
It’s quite upsetting watching their most recent live performances knowing they never got anywhere near the recognition, the fame or the fortune they so very much deserved, but most of all when I think of the sheer pleasure they’ve given me over the years and quality that still endures through all their music. They are a class band and their music will always mean a lot to me as a longtime accompaniment through my life experiences. If anyone from the group ever reads this comment; Thank You.
This came up on a random Spotify playlist yesterday and I can’t stop listening to it! It’s a bloody awesome song and it’s great to see them still nailing it! Fantastic 👍
Having not heard him sing for decades I was surprised at the quality of his voice for someone in their sixties. Hit those highs notes really well. Sung with the feeling and presence that only a seasoned performer can give. A big fan of the Adventures back in the day. Keep singing mate. You’ve still got it.
After 34 years I finally got to see these guys play for the second time at the weekend.....even better I got to meet Terry and Eileen afterwards...lovely people....hoping to see them again in the near future;
This guy has actually aged well, his voice is almost even better sounding than before. The Adventures are one of the best bands I've heard of, very underrated!
While The Adventures was criminally underrated and unrecognized as they should not have been, we are grateful to them that they continue to do shows such as this. I’m honored and blessed to have a copy of their CD album which i bought at an HMV music store in HK back in 1994.
This came out when I was 17 but for some reason I don't remember ever hearing it. Now I can't stop playing it. I feel like I've known him my entire life.
What a band what a voice and what a song ! Truly remarkable I send my love and respect from bonnie Scotland, still one of my all time favourite bands 🙌
Absolutely incredible performance. Goose bumps listening to This classic Can’t believe the time since originally released. His vocals still do this song so much justice. The war in Ukraine is tragically heart breaking. This song so fits for me. God Bless you The Adventures Sława Ukrainie
If anything I’d say it’s gotten even better (I missed the 80s by virtue of being born 95, but I’ve loved this song for years and the -18 version is my favourite for sure!)
I love this song so much....I've listened to it for years, it's never been forgotten to me. This morning I was walking to meet my better half listening to 'Forgotten 80's' and this came on, the presenter Matthew Rudd sadly talked over the intro but there was I, walking in the drizzle on my own with this amazing song in my ears. I listened to it twice - thanks for this upload and thanks for this amazing track Terry and the band. p.s, I also love the Theodore & Friends album, Feel the Raindrops should have been a massive hit too.
Woooo....I am 50 years of age and I've known and deeply admired this beautiful song (studio version) for already a very long time. To see and hear it live sang now (2018 it was) really gives me the goozebumps.
The integrity and dignity of the singer Terry Sharpe after all this time is incredible. Michael. Just so good. Hope you are well , God bless you. Michael ❤️
Just watched a BBC Archive following these as a support band to Tears for Fears, thought to myself I don't recall these, clicked on this and straight away I remembered, awesome voice, awesome tune, thanks for the upload 👍
Hermoso recuerdo de mi juventud, hace 30 años escuche esta cancion por primera vez y aun resuena en mi mente. Gracias por tan hermosa composicion, saludos desde Chile.
This song has been my personal anthem. Back in the late 80's I spent late nights waiting for the DJ to play "Broken Land" as his closing song. Been able to watch videos and this live performance. Terry still has that beautiful voice despite the age. Keep on singing this song Terry. We need good music in this pandemic times to heal our hearts and oh yes to heal this broken land.
I had completely forgot the name of this song and am so glad I found out such a good song and so underrated love it the 80’s was such a good decade for music a lot better than the rubbish that is turned out today
Truly one of the most beautiful songs ever written.Should have been massive in the 80's when the kids instead were listening to Bros/Brother Beyond crap.
i was suggesting this song to a friend and here it came this live performance.... it s a pleasure to hear the singers voice still strong and reaching those beautiful notes....this song is one of those epic melodies,which transport you to another world....and i m still very happy to be grown up during the 80s,an incredible decade of beautiful music....thanx The Adventures for your Music
This incredibly beautiful song will live in my heart forever…Terrys voice is every bit as good here as it was back then. Sea of love is ageless and is still one of my all time favourite albums ever. This performance is perfection and so moving without trying to be. It puts a lump in the throat and a tear in the eye of this absolute lump of a late 50’s year old Scotsman! 🏴😢🫡
Here again, Terry still has that great voice, thanks Adventures for bringing back younger and happy days with my then young daughter....she remembers this song too, she is now 39.
One of the best bands I ever saw live - Birmingham hippodrome late 80's. So loud and a polished performance. Got on the front row and blew our brains. Sea of Love in my top 10 albums ever. Big love to the Adventures
This album is one of my favorites of that time, and almost no one in the US knows about it. Absolutely floored and happy to find it and appreciate how good it is after all these years, brilliant performance. Thank you for sharing and keeping this alive!
This Guy has more talent in his little finger than most of today’s ‘artists’
Yip , definitely still got it and a damn good song as well .
Absolutely. 😎👍
Stops yer breath.
Yeah million percent agree this is pure talent to sing this as good now as he did back then and massive respect to terry and these guys for this performance

i agree with you richard totaly
Sea Of Love is one the most underrated albums of the 1980s. I loved it then, still love it now.
Fully agree....timeless.
Amazing album
Me too xx
What a voice… and one of the best songs of the 80’s
His voice is timeless.
Lets be honest none of us look like we did 35 yrs ago, Terry.s still got a great voice and the band sound great.
💯 ☝️ it’s tough world
Great song, In the same league as The Blue Nile ❤
Stunned. STUNNED. This is one of the best least known songs ever... And he's STILL got it. 😍

Great song! Remembers,.. Terry is wonderful.. thanks !!! 2023 ..im see
What a cracking voice he's still got 👏
we are now living in a broken land , it will never be the same as then.it will never be fixed either
This is why the 80s was the best music era.
Lyrically and vocally perfect
Genius ,ignored by the times he was living in ❤
I’ve commented on this video before & yet,here I am again being drawn to it ,it’s SUCH a class performance by everyone involved & Terry is STILL incredible …..why is this song not more popular & played more today??….utter class & SO different from the crap that passes as ‘music’ today !!!!
the Adventures are playing in Belfast next month, Saturday 14th January
Sounds as good as the day it was released. Superb vocals from Terry. A song that was a perfect match for his vocals and always will be. Great band👍
Still sounding bloody brilliant ❤
One of my favourite songs of the 80’s and boy his voice is still so awesome, talent persists over pop
"Sea of Love" is an album I can play over & over & over again without getting tired...
Never heard this sung live before,what an absolute pleasure to my ears.Takes me back to my younger days,so sad that we all have to grow old.Age has no bearing on this guys voice and I am sitting here smiling and happy ..............
“ All we are is dust in the wind ..” so enjoy

Motherwell had a good records store,cant mind the name and Coatbridge and Airdrie.but the toon was much quicker in getting the latest releases.

@@mountain_del1863 thats the one,and yes i agree the adventures should have had far more recognition for their music !
Superb performance from Terry. I had forgotten about Atlantic 252, those were the days.
@@stephenmcconkey2693 they sure were mate, better than this pish today. All the best pal 👍
Well done mate..you sing from the heart…we all get older..song is a classic..
The best tune of the 80’s. Struck a deep chord, should have had so much successful
.....aMEN - among the best EVER written - and, all TOO relevant in THESE times :(
When music was outstanding, the Adventures never got the coverage they deserved. Excellent musicianship. Thanks for sharing. GD
The whole Sea of Love album still sounds brilliant. Saw the Adventures at Wembley in 1987/88 supporting Fleetwood Mac. Based on the quality of this performance I'd love to see them again.
I was there too, I had gone to see Fleetwood Mac, was just as impressed by the Adventures
I'm just speechless...how beautiful this live version is 😍😍
Well we all have age coming to us but hell Terry can still kick it with this track I'm almost in tears listening to this. Wow this is STILL fantastic.
Loved it since the day it was released to this very day,, aged like the very finest of wines.❤

He sounds the same. Welcome back !!
Yes!!!!
Fantastic singer/band and song.
where have they been the last 30 years. still a bloody good song and sung brilliantly in 2018 !
Absolutely agree my Sweet xx
Just heard this band a few years ago in the USA. 🇺🇸
What a stunning version of such a stunning song. I haven't heard it for years but it still sends shivers down my spine. I must dig out my LP !
criminal that this song only hit number 20 in the UK despite being the most played song on Radio 1 in 1988
How was it not a number 1? Seems impossible.
Hey, what beat Vienna to number 1?😱
@@stephenle-surf9893 19 other songs apparently.
Sorry, it was " Shut uppa your face " by Joe Dolcie.

Never comment. BUT after seeing shocking comments, amazing song and performance. August 2021. Love it 🇬🇧 ❣
Still sounds FANTASTIC. One of my favorites from the glorious 80's.
After 34 years I finally got to see these guys play for the second time at the weekend.....even better I got to meet Terry and Eileen afterwards...lovely people....hoping to see them again in the near future;
One of the most Timeless and Beautiful songs ever written, There is no music like this today
Still gives me Goosebump 😊 Amazingly Talented Singer x One of the BEST Songs of the 80's
Was my wedding song many moons ago, didn't last though.Still love the song.
This guy has actually aged well, his voice is almost even better sounding than before. The Adventures are one of the best bands I've heard of, very underrated!
One of the greatest 80’s songs ever made. Still gives me goosebumps every time I hear it
One of the most beautiful productions that came from the entire Kingdom during the 80's!
Such beauty
Needs to be re-released, immediately.
Sounds even better now.
Fantastic song from a fantastic album.
Thanks for the music.
Saw them on concert in the 80s. Still listening today. Great song writing.
We used to go and see Tears for Fears just so we could see The Adventures...….most under rated band of the 80s.....LEGENDS
Hey, spot on. I remember those gigs. Now i'm reminiscing.
@@frasermckay6519 I've just watched a docu about them supporting TFF and Curt +Rowland were proper dicks towards the Adventures....so disappointing.
While The Adventures was criminally underrated and unrecognized as they should not have been, we are grateful to them that they continue to do shows such as this. I’m honored and blessed to have a copy of their CD album which i bought at an HMV music store in HK back in 1994.
Loved this band in the eighties and watched them live at Edinburgh playhouse. So special.
This song should get get more airplay , its brilliant and takes me right back to the 80s,👍
This came out when I was 17 but for some reason I don't remember ever hearing it. Now I can't stop playing it. I feel like I've known him my entire life.
wonderfull the best pop band history congratulations of buenos aires Argentina
What a voice with real feeling.
What a band what a voice and what a song ! Truly remarkable I send my love and respect from bonnie Scotland, still one of my all time favourite bands 🙌
AMAZING PERFORMANCE!!! THANK YOU THE ADVENTURES!!!
Absolutely incredible performance.
Goose bumps listening to This classic
Can’t believe the time since originally released.
His vocals still do this song so much justice.
The war in Ukraine is tragically heart breaking.
This song so fits for me.
God Bless you The Adventures
Sława Ukrainie
Brilliant song! Number 20 FFS! One of the top 5 singles of the 80s
It's a lost classic. Captures the latter part of that decade to a Tee...especially when looking back as we all get older.
Timeless classic. The magic undiminished 30 years later.
Fantastic!
If anything I’d say it’s gotten even better (I missed the 80s by virtue of being born 95, but I’ve loved this song for years and the -18 version is my favourite for sure!)
Brilliant song.Listen to it every night
This performance is very special. Pure class.

Wow still has an amazing voice!! One of my all time favourites
It's a crime this only got to number 20, what were we thinking back then???
Its still great voice!! One of the most beautifull songs of the 80ts!! And the performance still great!!! Beers from Uruguay !!!!

It feels very nostalgic.. I'm missing the sweetness of the 80's...
Still as haunting as ever! Simply stunning. Well done The Adventures ❤
Absolutely still brilliant , remember buying this back in 80s x
Truly one of the most beautiful songs ever written.Should have been massive in the 80's when the kids instead were listening to Bros/Brother Beyond crap.
Forgotten about this gem. Heard it on the radio today. A classic, beautifully sung.
I have totally adored this track for decades and now finally discovered it. ❤❤❤. Terry’s voice is amazing
Loved this song back in the 80's, all these years later and this is absolutely fantastic, great job!!
I just cannot stop watching this video. Terry's performance is pure soulful magic. If they toured again, I would book tickets tonight!

Sea of Love... a major part of my youth. Love always x
What a voice - then & now. Saw them at the Empire in Belfast a few years back and they were still as brilliant as ever. Keep her lit Terry!
This incredibly beautiful song will live in my heart forever…Terrys voice is every bit as good here as it was back then. Sea of love is ageless and is still one of my all time favourite albums ever.
This performance is perfection and so moving without trying to be. It puts a lump in the throat and a tear in the eye of this absolute lump of a late 50’s year old Scotsman! 🏴😢🫡

Loved this in 88 and still love it now never got the recognition it deserved fantastic performance well done 👍 keep rocking
One of the best bands I ever saw live - Birmingham hippodrome late 80's. So loud and a polished performance. Got on the front row and blew our brains. Sea of Love in my top 10 albums ever. Big love to the Adventures
Omg.... still love this song.. i remember my highschool day!.. 😘
Wonderfully warm & genuine...
Amazing, still has it
Stupenda voce! Quanti ricordi della mia adolescenza! Sempre un piacere riascoltarli.
This album is one of my favorites of that time, and almost no one in the US knows about it. Absolutely floored and happy to find it and appreciate how good it is after all these years, brilliant performance. Thank you for sharing and keeping this alive!
Awesome rendition I saw them on TOTP 1988 loved this song.
