Wow from 87 to this is awesome. The music, voice and talent remain the same and the dreads are a complete and great tasteful removal from the youthful 80's embrace we all thought was the peak.
@@officialWWM Yeah.. I reckon it's the poor acoustics and the hopeless video recording device. If they were to record the song in a proper studio setting, am sure it'll sound way better.
acethis yeah, he just sounds and looks bored to me. Plus, I'm not liking this annoying trend of bands travelling with acoustic guitars to save money etc. some songs just don't work when they are stripped down.
I am so happy to have found this video! I've been wondering what happened to 1927--one of my favorite bands from the 80s! I'm from Manila and I love 1927! So glad to see they are still alive and kicking!
Eric Weidemenn, the lead singer, actually performed live in Hey Hey Its Saturday and performed "Roxanne" and cleaned up. The station was contacted by 1927, who invited Eric to join the band. They did actually come back on the show and performed some of hits of "ISH". Those were the days...
I remember seeing these guys in 1987 at the Ainslie Football club in Canberra. This new band that had a song which had just started to get a couple of spins on the local radio. The room was packed out and 1927 blew us all away. Also saw them a few years later at Raiders night club in Queanbeyan. Always putting on a great show.
Wow, its been ages since Ive seen this band, I love the dreads, he is a gorgeous guy however he wears his hair and he, and the band, still sound fantastic xo :-)
great band, I went to parra leagues about 7 years ago to see them and there was about 50 people there to see them. i couldnt believe people wouldnt want to come see a talented band like 1927 perform.
Oh my god. No one moving to the music, no one feeling the music and lyrics, idiots at the back chatting through the singing. Horrible display of disrespect. 1927 keep doing what you do . Love your work xxxxx
Cheers for posting this acoustic version mate. Nice to hear that it was written with a soldier in mind too. We'll be adding this to our set list in future
So no disrespect to 1927, theyre a great band with some great tunes but most of the lads and ladies there would have been what? 6 or 7 when they were making new music that was well known?
Jo green Get your facts straight before you make BS comments like that our soldiers are there so little girls can go to school instead of laying in a hospital bed because she wanted to go and learn (if you don't want to stand behind our service man and women feel free to stand in front of them).
Yep,underated band. And the Taliban are not killing kids randomly? The soldiers are there doing the job they're told to do, like who the band wrote the song about,a soldier
I hate the fact that young British and Aussie men are in Afghanistan doing the dirty work for the U.S. They should let the U.S. fight it's own battles and stop dragging the world into it's greedy fight for oil.
Noviembre 2024. Por Siempre 1927 !!!

Saw these guys on the "Ish" tour. Bloody fantastic. Still remember a great concert. This guy can sing.
He sounds fantastic! How I miss the late 80s and early 90s.. I miss bands like 1927.. this is what I call music to the ears 👍
acethis I thought he sounded terrible!
@@officialWWM Yeah.. I reckon it's the poor acoustics and the hopeless video recording device. If they were to record the song in a proper studio setting, am sure it'll sound way better.

@@officialWWM his song, he sings it the way he wants to
@@dorissmith2576 no. He sings it the way he can. There’s a difference.

The lady was right, he was an irresistable heart-throb in the 80s. He's a lot more vintage-looking now.
1927 i love you xxxx
We will remember them.
AMOOOOO 1927!!!!!
Still got it...as they say...
Top band
OUR GOD THATS ALL HE CAN DO!
And here I was thinking he was singing about me lol
He was
AWESOME!!!
THANKS FOR POSTING.

Can't believe how little he's aged, 23 years later, wow.
Ah shit, I missed that!
@Tarshies1 hahaha thanks, i still havent accepted the new year for some reason.... lol
Oh My God... he looks like Bob Marley!!!
Exactly same i thought so to 🤣 spunk😍🥰😘
5:44 anybody knows her name?
till Good Lookin'
Is that the girl from Muriels wedding?..
No keyboard player and only one member of the original band. Pretty much like Dragon.
bobo lulu or The Angels. Sellouts...
I didn't know that...
@cheekyoziechick But you still would right?
@1969atam you should get a true understanding before passing a comment like that
So no disrespect to 1927, theyre a great band with some great tunes but most of the lads and ladies there would have been what? 6 or 7 when they were making new music that was well known?

The song is the same. But, he looks different.😮
Goodness Eriks hot🔥
The 1927 guy is a Kiwi? I mean indiginous Mauori?
kswannie hahahaha Mauori
Eric with dreads!!
defo underated band. Bit disapointed they played for baby killers tho.
@Lukeysonisback Make that 2012 ;)
@roxcharlie She shouldn't have been wearing one
Strapped! Special forces dooods!
Yep,underated band. And the Taliban are not killing kids randomly? The soldiers are there doing the job they're told to do, like who the band wrote the song about,a soldier
tocgh crowd
gretel ????????????????
I hate the fact that young British and Aussie men are in Afghanistan doing the dirty work for the U.S. They should let the U.S. fight it's own battles and stop dragging the world into it's greedy fight for oil.
Awesome but he reminds of a native American there...cmon didn't anyone else think the same? :D
Weiderman hasnt changed much. Apart from the dreads not at all
nice song nice wig
may i suggest to not screech on the high notes as it ruins the song , maybe sing the high notes a few keys lower!
I think the music was wasted on these troops.
little too young
That's not 1927 😂 It's just the singer with a bunch of ring ins! Nothing more than an average Coverband!
Bob Marley is still alive told yas.
Wooooohooooooo
