one of the most underrated bands of all time. JC is a fantastic songwriter - pure emotion and lyrics that everyone can relate to. Glad I've seen them on more than one occasion.
you have to listen closely to the unpredictable harmony voice behind the main voice, once you hear what they are doing you will be astonished that it works but if you played the harmony voice by itself it would sound like cats fighting but the disharmony balances all together.
My mate Steve introduced me to Del Amitri just before I left London in 1997, and they've stayed with me in NZ all this time. What a joy to hear this live! Takes me back, and yet still of today as well.
No autotune, nonsense dancing, fakery, miming. Actual musicians, singers who can hit the right notes and have the diaphragm to project. Thanks Del Amitri for getting me through those tough teen years 3 decades back, cheers lads I owe you some drams.
@@peterah7957 So...You don't like Del Amitri...? Would be interesting to hear about what kind of music you do like...after a comment like that. Please enlighten me .
The harmonies are incredible, mostly hidden in the mix in the original studio versions, it brings new life to the songs seeing them very much in the fore in the live gigs.
Don’t forget Texas, Simple Minds, Wet Wet Wet, Framz Ferdinand, Travis.... I still think this band is one of the most underrated bans from that era...... beautiful music, used to listen to Waking Hours over and over....... they have a unique sound and voice.. baffles me how they never went crazy big
One of the first songs I ever heard by Del Amitri. (The first was "kiss this thing goodbye" in 1990... The same applies.) I became an instant fan, or better said, mega-fan! I've been a die hard Del Amitri fan ever since. My great regret was never seeing them live in 30 yrs. Now I get a chance finally to have one of my music dreams fulfilled... The Dels live in 2022! Thank you God! Trying to type this through my tears of joy and gratitude.
Seen these about 8 times (Norwich, Cambridge & Ipswich). One of very few bands that live, still sounds like their recordings. Great sound, fantastic lyrics - superb all round. Have their new album pre- ordered. Can't wait for it to pop through my letter box. Respect lads.
My "ears" were hypnotized in London in 1989. The effect seems to be unbroken and has been reactivated by the new and mature album "Fatal Mistakes". Great performance! Wish them all the best! 🍀🍄☀️🌈
I could still play Waking Hours all day and love it. Still know every word. And driving with the brakes on and it's never too late to be alone. Hell, all of ' em
Awesome show in Milwaukee yesterday. Sounded as good as they did in 1997 when I saw them last. Great to have them back in the US. Hopefully it won't be another 25 years til I see them again!
How comes such a band did not make a global impact! There have been rubbish bands ,singers made it though such as culture club, pet shop boys, duran duran etc. Sad.

One of the most underrated groups in the last 30 year's. Seeing them live is a joy to behold.
YES❤
Did last week , brilliant
Finally managed to see them at Perth Concert hall 🏴 a week before Christmas, absolutely brilliant 🤩
There’s no way on Earth that Del Amitri are underated ! What utter nonsense !!!

The most underrated songwriter of the last 30 years. And what a voice
I love Justin's voice here, it pops beautifully. This guy is one of the best songwriters of the last 50 years.

In a world of boy bands (who don't even play an instrument ) or half naked girls....These guys are still and always will be a REAL talent 💯%

Timeless the only group I went to see more than once, and always makes me smile when I listen to Del Amitri 30 years on
Garbage

@@georgiannejohnson4420 agree 100% with u
For those who appreciate good songwriting, he is right up there with the best. Just a complete delight.
Oh yeah ...
..... and here I am again 6 months later listening to it again!!!
An absolutely outstanding live version of my favourite Del Amitri song
Watching Iain doing background vocals is simultaneously amusing and awesome. I love that he and JC have the partnership that gives life to Del Amitri.
The harmonies are incredible, mostly hidden in the mix in the original studio versions, it brings new life to the songs seeing them very much in the fore in the live gigs.
Near 30 years , and it sounds to me like the first time, the best song ever write. Perfect
They look so sad here though! Like they’re all on the edge of tears.
Real people though, singing real songs ❤
But the songs flow so beautifully
Justin Currie's voice has got softer over the years but he still hits all the notes. Perfection.
Music in its purest form.
Love these guys songs and the accordian really adds to this song,
The best Scottish band from the past 40 years.

@@brianbrooking496 I don't forget them. There's just none of them measure up to the Dels.
Love&money hipsway aswell
Wot About RUNRIG
@@07971Phil Runrig are excellent but they don't have the same depth of songs Del Amitri have. Their song writing quality isn't even close.
Justin Currie a true poet!❤

Great tune the first time you hear it - great song the thousandth time you hear it.....!!!!
This song never gets old. How can a song about infidelity sound so sweet? Every time.
They were and still are the real deal.
Always wonderful❤
Underated band.
Not underrated. Celebrated. They did ok

Waking Hours was my brother's favorite album. We played it to him when he was in a coma before we removed life support.
My first favorite song from Del Amitri. Sounds just as incredible now as the day it was released.
Love this song. Means a lot to me and at a point in my life it meant everything. Thank you for putting words to my life ♥
what a voice what a song!
My "ears" were hypnotized in London in 1989. The effect seems to be unbroken and has been reactivated by the new and mature album "Fatal Mistakes". Great performance! Wish them all the best! 🍀🍄☀️🌈
fine song fine band, love em
In the top 10 song smiths of all time IMO. So under rated
As Good Today as it's Always been...................lovely xxx
IMHO... the greatest song ever written. RIP Debra Mary Kiehne... lost to us far too soon... forever my so beloved and cherished downfall.
I could still play Waking Hours all day and love it. Still know every word. And driving with the brakes on and it's never too late to be alone. Hell, all of ' em
One of my all time favourite songs.
And do we have to listen today? Shouting man, Sam Ryder!!
Absolutely beautiful ❤🙌👍
Just seen them tonight at the queens hall Edinburgh. Absolutely brilliant 🏴🏴🏴
That was beautiful.
Awesome show in Milwaukee yesterday. Sounded as good as they did in 1997 when I saw them last. Great to have them back in the US. Hopefully it won't be another 25 years til I see them again!
30 years ago (where has the time gone) this band sounded damn good and they still sound damn good.
They still got it
Class act,sound amazing after all these years....respect! 👍
Excellent band & good live too.
so many memories from this so long ago, like most people probably, it feels like this was written for my life back then!
Pure class is permanent.
Brilliant, very underrated band and brand new guys ...superb
Saw them a couple of times in Farnkfurt, Batschkapp in the mid 90's. Still one of my favorites Brilliant...!
Just love love love this....❤
Near 30 years and it sounds to me like the first one, the best song ever write. Perfect👍😉
Justin's voice is just!
Outstanding
Great song, perfect performance, love it!!!

Nice smooth sounds.
Still works. ♥️ 2023
Been there a few times!
Great song/great band! Love it/them! thanks for posting
So good
Fantastic! Great harmonies Justin and Iain
One of the best songs I’ve heard

I’m just crying about my youth

Great version
Love U

How comes such a band did not make a global impact!
There have been rubbish bands ,singers made it though such as culture club, pet shop boys, duran duran etc.
Sad.
AUSSIES MATE, just like CHISEL
Love this band, but this song never really worked for me.
I have a confession.
My mate Steve introduced me to Del Amitri just before I left London in 1997, and they've stayed with me in NZ all this time. What a joy to hear this live! Takes me back, and yet still of today as well.
