Why was this song not a worldwide smash hit ? - It's absolutely stunning - Why is this man not huge in North America ? He just exudes passion in his vocals and guitar work
@@obviousfakename5828 But he also never cared about the fame and the stardom. He is in it purely for the music. Had to compromise more than he liked already along the way.
I love every single, and there are a lot, of Chris Rhea.....It reminds me of my younger days and spending SOOOO much time on my friend's Yacht 🎉🎉🎉.....we played so much Chris Rhea!!!!!!!😊❤🎉
I like everything on this live version. A loud bass, great rythm guitar, wonderfull background singers, everything!!! Not too forget the maestro Rea himself.
An often overlooked thing about Chris is that he could play every instrument on that live performance just about as well as each of the individual musicians. On the original studio recording of Water Sign (from which this is taken) he played most of the instruments.
Makes me proud that Chris Rea is half Irish. He is one of the best artists ever. I'm 50 now & I grew up with him. Can't remember how many times he lifted me up when I was down. His voice is really something and his guitar playing is out of this world. Love ya Chris mate, & thanks for your music man!
❤ Exceptionnelle cette version, de cette magnifique chanson Merci Lilybee !!! Sublime le final version ska reggae avec choristes. MERCI CHRIS REA & LE PIANISTE /SAXOPHONISTE MA-GNI-FIQUE !!!

I loved your voice and music 25 years ago and you still summon up that strange period of my life when everything was so young and hopeful. You still sound so magnificent and still have all those crazy emotive notes that make us believe..keep on, Chris Rea, you are one of the few! We love you.
1983. It seems like yesterday! I modelled myself on Chris Rea. I thought him and Boz Scaggs were the coolest dudes on the planet, still do, age 59. Sorry if that comes across a bit Alan Partridge, but ...
Голос Криса - это что-то невероятное!.. но всегда с нетерпением жду момента, когда Он начнёт "отжигать" на гитаре. Вот это Высший Пилотаж!!! Браво и Спасибо!!!
I stumbled across chris rea panic in the late seventies he's talented with out a dout And then comes along all the big hair bands of 80s he's got a great voice and he can play guitar with the best of them with including Clapton I am glad to see he's still around you can bet if he comes to my turn from getting tickets
If you haven't ever listened to Chris Rea you been missing out for many years!!!! His music the best, one song after another....I promise, he won't disappoint ❤❤❤❤❤
This is beautiful. It's hard to believe that Chris Rea is so talented and has been around so long, yet has not made it bigger than he has. Why is junk so popular when there is great stuff like this available?
A brilliant and beautiful Soul .. and an Artist beyond compare .. and tough as need be .. this is a celebration of such love .. a love he is blessed to know ..
I performed same stage, as Chris Rea at famous music festival in 1988 “Rock Am Ring “ Nürburg Ring, Germany, so proud! I still have the poster w/ both our names.
Agree with you ! He was so damn hot in this concert , mercy mercy me ! lol A truly beautiful man , inside and out , love him still ! Atb to you , hugs from Sweden!
Dearest Chris you should be awarded a medal for your amazing dedication to music and fans Bless you sweetheart beautiful music and so so well done my very best wishes to you and your family Dee👍👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🎶🎶🎶🎶😍😍😍😍😍
Just ha heart surgery, I love Chris Rea, he is my good times. And Jesus my joy because I feel like moving. Oh how I wish I still had my love with me. To dance around the kitchen while we listen 🎉❤😊
They are. The guy playing guitar (with the tie) is Jerry Stevenson who is a fabulous musician - have seen him play many times in local pubs, when he's not on tour or in the recording studio. He appeared on Wired to the Moon.
@@santamaraJerry still going strong. Saw him playing a few weeks ago, in Dartford, near London. He is such a fine guitarist and a good blues singer too. Also plays mandolin. He's a lovely guy.
@@sarac.3259 🥰..good to hear Jerry's still performing. Lots of talent.👍 I could listen to this music all day long.❤ I'm in Canada.. so grateful for TH-cam as well. 😊
Adorable man.. still today 2024. 💗 Beautiful music, guitar work and lyrics. Amaze me Chris. ✨💯
The most underrated writer/singer ever
Driving home for christmas did well though.
I’m an Aussie and have always loved him. I still have this on cassette. Love his voice still.
Absolute legend :)
Every so often I feel a need to return to this amazing singer and this amazing beautiful Song. Rock on,Chris!!!
Why was this song not a worldwide smash hit ? - It's absolutely stunning - Why is this man not huge in North America ? He just exudes passion in his vocals and guitar work
He had pancreatic cancer for like 20 years and didn’t tour in America at all. Shame because he’s the GOAT.
@@obviousfakename5828 But he also never cared about the fame and the stardom. He is in it purely for the music. Had to compromise more than he liked already along the way.
It was a big hit in Europe, to be fair.
I love every single, and there are a lot, of Chris Rhea.....It reminds me of my younger days and spending SOOOO much time on my friend's Yacht 🎉🎉🎉.....we played so much Chris Rhea!!!!!!!😊❤🎉
Life has not been all that kind to him. We are so lucky he is still with us. What a man...a monument!
that's a wild slide solo
If your listening to this you have a great taste in music.
This must be perfection? We are all so moved.
America, how could you not embrace this man's soulful music?
Long may you play, Chris Rea.
Always a welcome sound..
Absolutely legendary song written by legendary author and musician!
The best version of this song ever.
Thank God for Chris Rhea! Still listening in 2020!
And 2021 and beyond
2023 ❤

Chris Rhea is like eating peanuts once you listen to one your hooked for life and there's no stopping
Could'nt agree more! I've become an addict 😊 Atb to you ! Greetings from Sweden!
Still think he is one of the very best guitartist of all times.
I like everything on this live version. A loud bass, great rythm guitar, wonderfull background singers, everything!!! Not too forget the maestro Rea himself.
I love watching these old videos of Chris! Great voice. He’s been through so much and still great❤️

Cordon bleu
What singer songwriter muscision. One of my favorites!!
This guy, chris. Rea is the best blues artist ever!!!! This song is so awesome, I listen to it every day, can't get enough of chris.
Мало того, что он великолепный певец, он просто красавец и обоятельнейший певец. Браво!
I'd say he had some attention from the women but a great great guitar player he could really make that thing talk!!
Он ещё и в кино сыграл главную роль!!! Талантливый человек талантлив во всём!!! Это наш Крис Ри!!!⭐ BRAVO!!!
This Version is Absolutely Bloody Magic. When the Organ swells @2:20 I'm in Heaven. Cheers Mr. Rea
Dont see performances like this anymore. Legendary Mr Rea✌👊🏼
Probably the best version. Love it!
I've heard a lot of different versions of this song.Fast and slow and by far this Is the best version.
They don't make them like these anymore.
As I remember him when I first went to see him perform. A musical genius then and now!

Gavin Owen-Henderson .
It’s stunning.... just a stellar combination of the voice, guitar, and the other instruments! From 3:06 to the end is off the scale...
Still listening to this amazing song and the Amazing voice of Chris
Legendärer Song,- in der Fassung,- und ein brillanter Chris Rea auf seiner alten Stratocaster.
Klasse auch der Rythmusgitarrist.
