Go West perform The King Of Wishful Thinking live at the fabulous 80's nostalgic Rewind Festival at Henley in 2011 ****PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO ENCOURAGE ME TO UPLOAD MORE EXCLUSIVE CLIPS****
When the crowd picked up in the beginning....his humbled smile said how appreciative he was to have been able to reach people and still hold an affect all these years later.. As i was typing this....he addressed it in this video lol. Great song. Great singer. And seems like a great soul.
Not that this should matter but I’m a black kid from NYC in my early 30s that grew up mostly on hip hop and R&B and I discovered this song in the last few years and I can’t live without it! 😏
It's ALL good when I write this but what does black have to do with loving music? I love all types of music and am a mut of nationalities And Love every one of them. Enjoy and Let go. Peace out! 😊
I love it when the audience can sing the lyrics!!! That's when you know you've done a fabulous job. Hey, the back ground vocalists were really awesome in keeping the tune together!
@@patscorner7183 not always, i mean i sometimes perform and i suffer from severe anxiety but its not because im a perfectionist but because i have fear of criticism or fear of big crowds and people being nasty to me, so not everyone has the same experience and it doesnt always mean they make them a perfectionist because they have anxiety lol
Great comparison.....C-F. Watching Daryl's House episodes 10 years ago and couldn't believe the guy could still belt out the vocals and have most of his range intact. This guy the same....McCartney lost a lot of his high range and raspy high notes in later years.....they all do.
Love Go West so much , was 15 in 1991 . Pure talent never ages , Have had the pleasure of meeting both Pete and Richard recently and they are both genuinely nice chaps . I take my hat off to them , to sound this good today ? I think better than the original , awesome guys xx
Although technically, this song belong in the 90’s (1990). I am with you - I went high school in the 80’s, and college and grad school in late 80’s and early 90’s. My daughters say the same 😊
@@Kid_pianist Instead we have fat Adele -okayish voice, but only successful because she was fat and people wanted a champion' Ed Sheeran - boring, bloody depressing and every song sounds the same, or we have crap rap music which people cannot understand a word of! Damn I miss the 80s!
@@davidwilliams5986 I really do feel sorry for kid's born in the last 20 years. some are lucky to have a mother or father that play some of this great music to introduce them to it.
Freaking nutty still sounds great. And the crowd loves these guys. This is what a true concert is all about. No matter how old we get or time passes we will always have music.
I had no idea that they were still together but it just shows that you cannot keep a great band or a great song down. I love this and the guitar part is tremendous.
Got caught in a speed trap, I was number 4 In a line of cars pulled over. The cop approached me and asked if I knew how fast I was going? And I said,,”honestly, no! Im listening to 80s music! Who pays attention when they’re listening to 80s music??” It was this song. The officer laughed and just said, “get outta here!” And let me go without a ticket!
OMG. Brilliant. Go West, thank fk. not sounding like they are holding on to faded glory of yesteryear but fresh, full of energy and as brilliant now as they were a couple of decades ago. Thank fk for that. !! Brilliant.
i am just blown away man that peter still sounds this good man. Ive been a fan of the metal genere since the 90s ive seen singers just like peter blew away this gift. I love the fact peter just kept on singing.
I was blown away not only at how good they were live but how well they were received by the fans at this festival. Looked to be a younger crowd and they were really into it. You don't always see that here in the USA. Plus the girl in the front wasn't too bad. She was all over the video haha
Im from the Philippines and it's 2022 and I saw this video. I remember I got a copyof their album in casette tape. Im a fan ever since. And I agree that this band should show these current artists how its done. His voice is still the same as it waa before. I have grear respect fir this band.
What an amazing performance of one of their greatest songs - audience are very good as well. I bet there aren't many singers who sound that good in their late 50s having started 30 years earlier. Peter should definitely have won RBITUSA.
I grew up in the 80's !! So I love the music from the 70's and 80's And believe it or not I was at work today and all the sudden this song popped in my head all thanks to XM RADIO !! Lol It is by far the best song !! I'm a drummer so artists from the yester years have helped me out a lot to push my playing ability to the limit !! But without being long winded I'll just say I love this song....
Watching this in 2024 loving it
Me too
I came here expecting to be disappointed. Damn, his voice sounds exactly the same!! Great concert.
brenda jackson he's got a very powerful voice
brenda jackson
Heard this song on
The radio today,sounds
More crisp, powerful and
Energetic in the concert
Video,wish I was there...
brenda jackson he looks 30
the power of (fanciful) wishful thinking
brenda jackson Very underrated band and singer. But they stand tall before the test of time.
He sounds the frickin' same 36 years later. In the same key even! Most lower it a few. Wow. Such a great tune.
Konrad Broock even better now smoorh2as hell
Konrad Broock well at least this song isn't 36 years old but a mere 29 now. Lol
No,Absolutely more powerful
Great song
Songs only 29years. Unless he sung songs in early 80s.
One of the most underrated voices ever. Sounds as good as he did 30 years ago.
That fucker is even better than he was in the 80's. Way to go, man. Wow.
+Piero I. Seriously I was expecting a trainwreck and what I got was a beautiful middle age man that looks like he could kick the shit out of me still.
+PapaShongo25 hahahaa yes mee too papa
Oh, yes.
agree 100%
He's like a fine wine. Better with age. LOL
The fucking crowd singing along. It sounds so perfect.
P 0 0 0 l
They even to to harmonies for "I'm over you" in the first bit!
this is fantastic song for 2019 needs bring more songs so can sing along too it nice video of u all
I KNOWWWW it’s so beautiful
To hear that from where they are has to be one of the best feelings a person can experience.
That's how vocals are done. No auto tune needed 🔥👍💯
When the crowd picked up in the beginning....his humbled smile said how appreciative he was to have been able to reach people and still hold an affect all these years later.. As i was typing this....he addressed it in this video lol. Great song. Great singer. And seems like a great soul.
Totally agree they both seem great humble guys cant wait to see them live in 2022
His voice is insane...
Kelly Renee at first I was like no way that’s live it’s already dubbed then the riffs and harmonies gave it away. Crazy vocals.
IKR, girl!
Right there is something about it that is not only powerful but commanding. Im still watching this video getting stoked.
@@AdioAsh 0:33 blues 1:48 blessed
@@andreasharrilafuma2019 I love this version better than the recording
Not that this should matter but I’m a black kid from NYC in my early 30s that grew up mostly on hip hop and R&B and I discovered this song in the last few years and I can’t live without it! 😏
Similar to me!
Would post a lot of alt songs for you but feefuckvides doesn't like better or rarer videos that his.. SORRY for your loss!!
No one cares that your black I say that in a good way
It's ALL good when I write this but what does black have to do with loving music? I love all types of music and am a mut of nationalities And Love every one of them. Enjoy and Let go. Peace out! 😊
Can we PLEASE talk about what a beautiful, soulful voice Peter Cox has?!!
Proof 80's music sounds better on the radio than anything else ever made ;) ART!!!!
I love it when the audience can sing the lyrics!!! That's when you know you've done a fabulous job. Hey, the back ground vocalists were really awesome in keeping the tune together!
Cynthia, for me a concert is both an opportunity to sing backing vocals or duets and a guitar lesson thrown in. I don't care what others think.
Peter Cox can sing! Blows away most artist today. Outstanding!
Can't stand that x fsctor rubbish 🗑 so glad we got music like this instead.
One of the best songs of all time. Some of the very best vocals that will ever be heard
This is unbelivable. They sound as fresh and tight as they were back in the day...Brilliant😍👍
Can’t believe Peter suffered from anxiety The guy has one of the most beautiful vocals on the planet !!! Powerful
How do singing ability and anxiety relate to one another?
@@mikecantreed Bcs they're perfectionists
@@patscorner7183 not always, i mean i sometimes perform and i suffer from severe anxiety but its not because im a perfectionist but because i have fear of criticism or fear of big crowds and people being nasty to me, so not everyone has the same experience and it doesnt always mean they make them a perfectionist because they have anxiety lol
This is incredible
@@mikecantreed el pollo
It is incredible how good his voice still sounds after so many years.
wow his vocals actually surprise me that many years later
why??? he's a total pro unlike ED BLOODY SHEERAN AND OLLI MURS
@@HOPPOVERSION1 Oh I agree, just a lot of of artists vocals diminish a fair bit with age.
Peter Cox - one of the very few voices in the same league as Daryl Hall: amazing pipes, even now.
CusterFlux Daryl Hall can’t hold the notes any longer - As he’s not far off 70!!!
Kenny Loggins still in that league too.
@@dozza7946 he is 70 +
true, look what happen to Paul Young, lost his voice in his 30's.
Great comparison.....C-F. Watching Daryl's House episodes 10 years ago and couldn't believe the guy could still belt out the vocals and have most of his range intact. This guy the same....McCartney lost a lot of his high range and raspy high notes in later years.....they all do.
Can we just stop one second to appreciate that gorgeous funky guitar tone? :P
Fantastic live performance. Peter Cox's voice is exactly like it was in the 80s/early 90s. Hasn't aged a bit.
Love Go West so much , was 15 in 1991 . Pure talent never ages , Have had the pleasure of meeting both Pete and Richard recently and they are both genuinely nice chaps . I take my hat off to them , to sound this good today ? I think better than the original , awesome guys xx
I fell in love with this song (and this man) aged 11 - I'm 36 now and nothing has changed :D
I love the way Peter can adjust his vocal delivery from a midrange rasp to beautiful smooth tone so seamlessly.
: The most underrated band of all time ? Crafted songs, superb musicianship and a lead singer that delivers. Play it to your kids....
Olassious the most underrated? No.
Olassious I'm 30 and I love this era of music
Mr. Mister is another group that fits that description.
Yes ... My father did.... Way back in 89 , when I was 12...
Now I am 40.... Damn song got stuck in my head until
2019.... Just imagine that....😊😊😊
Go West, Dancing On the Couch, and Indian Summer are fantastic albums that i wish got more attention. Go west is a great group
this is one of my fave ever live performances , watched this so many times 😍😍
Talk about sounding as good as in the 80's!
It's amazing isn't it.
Release in 1989 and came out in 1990 for the movie pretty woman !!!
1990 was basically still the 80s music wise🤣🤣🤣
My daughter who wasn’t even born then says nobody beats 80’s songs.
Smart girl!
Although technically, this song belong in the 90’s (1990). I am with you - I went high school in the 80’s, and college and grad school in late 80’s and early 90’s. My daughters say the same 😊
That`s right. They can`t make that kind of quality music today.
@@Kid_pianist Instead we have fat Adele -okayish voice, but only successful because she was fat and people wanted a champion' Ed Sheeran - boring, bloody depressing and every song sounds the same, or we have crap rap music which people cannot understand a word of! Damn I miss the 80s!
The blonde girl with madonna costume was having the time of her life.
Yeah. She's fabulous!
Funny I noticed her too ,and she was in the moment .
Wasn't she though? Bless her.
She's rolling balls.
I love her energy and happiness. Definitely charming youthful vibes happening there
I first heard this in 1990 when I was 9..my sister rented "pretty woman" lol..I liked Go West ever since.
Fantastic voice! He nails every note and sounds just as great as he did 20 years ago.
Young musicians today should take a good hard look at this band. Supreme artists
well said
Couldn;t agree more with your comments
@@davidwilliams5986 I really do feel sorry for kid's born in the last 20 years. some are lucky to have a mother or father that play some of this great music to introduce them to it.
SI
THE BASSBAT 78 everyone your ages says this about music looking back at the old stuff. For fucks sake. Don’t be a sheep
He literally sounds exactly the same as the original. Amazing.
How does he sound better live🔥 love this song ♥️
Who are the 217 muppets who gave this the thumbs down .... what absolutely peanuts. These guys are better live than on record. Brilliant song & band.
This man's vocals are very good..beautiful song...nice to listen to anytime and anywhere.
Damn... This guy still sounds amazing ... Love how the crowd is dressed...
This guy is the real deal....42 years old..I grew up loving this song and I still do...music has no color or time
His voice absolutely gives me chills -- they've seemingly lost nothing at all.
Proof that 80s artists had voices and they've lasted. Amazing.
His voice is fuc**ng awesome, after all of that time!
This guys voice is amazing. Not many singers can sound so good after decades. He may have lost the hair but not the vocal chords!
Loved Peter and his voice since I first saw Go West on The Tube in the 80’s. Just gorgeous and what a voice!! ❤️❤️❤️🥰
This looks like an incredible show to be at!
This guys voice is simply out of this world still!
I listen to this song 10 times a day 😍
me too🤭‼️
MEEEEEE TOOOO!!!!!❤
Now THAT"S one of the best sing-a-longs by an audience. Great job!! ...Oh yeah- Go West was great too.. :)
Just a solid song. Great hook! Great musicianship and GREAT VOICE!
This guy is bad ass on his vocals
Very few musicians can sound this good live and YEARS LATER!!!
This is a great song!! Really puts me in a good mood to this day!!!
the first person to say 'pretty woman brought me here ' deserves a crack on the chops
Freaking nutty still sounds great. And the crowd loves these guys. This is what a true concert is all about. No matter how old we get or time passes we will always have music.
Incredible live performance there. Hats off to Go West, one of my favorite pop group ❤️👍👍
It seems that the lady at 1:25 has so much fun at the show. Dancing happily 👍
Mr Cox one of the best voices in music
I had no idea that they were still together but it just shows that you cannot keep a great band or a great song down. I love this and the guitar part is tremendous.
30 years later, loved this time of my life. Happy 60th birthday Pete even though you don't look it.
sounds exactly the same as nearly 30 years ago.... amazing
unreal, pure magic and classic. such a wonderful voice, soulful and very strong for a man that's getting on in life. Amazing, respect.
Love the audience participation.
Still an incredible voice ❤
WOW. It's as if his voice hasn't aged a day. GREAT performance.
Peter still sounds amazing, and they both look great, better than guys that could be their sons.
Where did all of his hair go, though?! LOL He still looks fantastic, yes! :)
Caramel Spice I totally, agree.. they still sound great!!
Better voice than most singers now!! Stronger vocal technique
God, I miss the 80's...
yh 80s were class
Music is garbage now - mostly
Me to baby x
Song came out 1989 into 1990. Like the last of the 80s love go west
The song that ended the 80's
Got caught in a speed trap, I was number 4 In a line of cars pulled over. The cop approached me and asked if I knew how fast I was going? And I said,,”honestly, no! Im listening to 80s music! Who pays attention when they’re listening to 80s music??” It was this song. The officer laughed and just said, “get outta here!” And let me go without a ticket!
Whenever l hear his music, l feel good😆
Peter Cox is pure raw vocal power.
Utterly Phenomenal! I am so blessed to have grown up in the time I did. I wouldn't pick any other time in History, not for anything..
Holy crap he sounds amazing! God I love this band.
I miss them and the whole era.
You know your song it good when you stand still and the crowd sings it
First time I heard this was at the movie "Pretty Woman" and now I'm hooked! :)
His voice still sounds fantastic!! It’s awesome to here tens of thousands of people enjoying so much they sing along!!
He sounds fantastic
Simply Fantastic
OMG. Brilliant. Go West, thank fk. not sounding like they are holding on to faded glory of yesteryear but fresh, full of energy and as brilliant now as they were a couple of decades ago. Thank fk for that. !! Brilliant.
Saw Go West live a couple years back, Peter Cox's voice is still perfect.
One of the greatest vocalists who still hasn't lost his voice like others. I saw him/they at Chilfest last year and he sounded even better. Legend!
i am just blown away man that peter still sounds this good man. Ive been a fan of the metal genere since the 90s ive seen singers just like peter blew away this gift. I love the fact peter just kept on singing.
He sounds even better than in the 80s! Love them!
When u hear musicians who appreciate their fans like he does. It makes you like them more because of their humility.
No work without the fans!

It's weird...when this song first came out, it was a nice catchy tune, but I never thought it would age as well as it did.
I get goosebumps everytime the crowd sings the song.
Still one of my favorite '80's bands.
Just one of my favorite voices of all time :)

Man, these were the songs!
I was there and it was an amazing night all the bands were fantastic and the crowd enjoyed every second.
Such a great song with a catchy beat plus what a great voice he has! That definitely was a sing along of a song!

His voice is beautiful and his beautiful as well, the band are so great ❤❤❤ i wish i can watch live like this. 🙏🥹❤
Perfect lighting with the sunset
There is no song that represents the 1990s bater then this song right here.
Wow, these guys are great live, even after all these years! That mans got a voice.
One of my favorite songs
Peter sounds fantastic, the band are spot on, and the crowd are having the time of their lives.
Real music.
