Saw Ultravox at the Apollo Manchester in '81 and it was one of the best things I'd ever heard and seen. When they did the drum outro at the end of 'The Voice' I thought the roof was going to cave in, it was that loud! Still have the vinyl album of Rage in Eden. 80's music is still the best to me. I'm 60 now and still play it more than any recent artists. It's what you grow up with I suppose, but musically I find the passion that was put into the music in that era was much greater than it is today.
You know when you tell people you are into Ultravox and they always mention Vienna, well this is THE Ultravox song and the live version is well truly breathtaking. I first saw them on the Set Movements tour at the Apollo in Manchester and they were class.
@@PA-lf8sd Patently you don't like Ultravox as to call it 'cringeworthy' is all I need to know. Why bother commenting on something that you admit you don't like?
This concert must have been phenomenal. Incredible musicians sharing their music with us. They sound incredible live. Gave us some breathtaking music. We were spoilt in the 80s, forever trapped in that decade.
Funny you mention it... When the band played this song at Newcastle City Hall during the Monument tour from which this video was later taken, I watched in surprise as Mr Cross threw his bass guitar from stage left to right just before taking up drumsticks for the Simmons drum coda. Perhaps he expected a roadie to risk injury by catching it but it just landed and no doubt suffered grievous damage. When I met the band backstage afterwards, Mr Cross seemed unbothered by what I, a poor amateur muso, regarded as an excess of high-rolling luxury.
U571....VHS...had early daughters....the drumming had them copy for treats .....over a week they were there....played out couldn't separate them but my eldest heard this and remembered. ....that's when I knew they learned good taste...her neighbours. ..who cares .....ultravox class
What ya mean best.....they shaded TALKTALK just ...brilliant..this track head my daughters play each drumming for a while ...then we'd play it back ....the best got a prize as sorts....but they an we...loved watching them learn and enjoy the music....must eldest even played it on her lap.when I played....I'm 67...and I love it still.. Be safè guys 19 hasn't gone away....respect.
Bought this on vinyl when it first came out and still listen to it to this day, my music tastes have changed since my teens, I listen to a lot of thrash/hardcore/crossover metal, but I always come back to Ultravox when I want a lift. Timeless. Thanks to the guys for the awesome music that has lived with me for nearly 40 years 🤟
Got this on an old vcr tape haven't heard it for over 25 years ,hairs are standing up all over ,those boys were good, got to be the best ending to a song ever
Absolutely great, I still listen to Ultravox. It's the perfect combination of electronic pop and rock music. And Midge's voice is brillant. Unique style.
I remember watching them play this back when BBC2 ran a 24 hour music marathon, back before I could afford even to rent a VCR. The Simmons drumming at the end was absolutely the boss. Fast forward to now, and my better-half has only just seen that for the first time. Ultravox were brilliant then, as brilliant now.
Saw these guys at Massey Hall ,Toronto 1982 they were mind-blowingly good. SO powerful I could barely believe the shivers they sent down my spine! RIP Chris Cross!
40 years on, put almost ANYTHING up against that from today and just laugh your ass off and thank your lucky stars you were there and that"s what shaped you, not what these kids have today...
There's one outstanding band I know of beside Porcupine Tree and they are from Sweden called 'EVERGREY' if you like to rock and mellow out they are awesome, other than that most bands and ALL pop artists suck lol!
I had the live 'monument' lp during the 80's and I loved this version of the Voice, this is the first time I have seen it in live action, and it was exactly how I pictured it in my minds eye with all member closing out the track on drums. Awesome. Probably one of the most underrated acts of the 80's.
I had the Monument Live VHS...was the first time I saw this version with the awesome drum finish...I've ever forgotten it. I thought Criss Cross was going to smash that drum off its stand at 6:15
Saw them 3 times back in the early 80s , brilliant every time , this song is brilliant live as is visions in blue and my favourite New European , RIP Chris.
Awesome. Saw live 1982 & 2009 at Manchester Apollo. Still sounds amazing & the drum finale brilliant. Never ceases to capture every emotion possible. Never want it to end so keep seeing again & again ❤❤
Saw Ultravox live at Kings Hall, Belfast, 1982 - hearing has never been the same since, lol ! Remember seeing a performance of this song, where Chris Cross' drum pad was too loose, and it dropped a bit, with him not being able to hit it properly with the changed angle, - the look Midge Ure gave him ! Can't remember what happened afterwards - it was a long time ago.
Born in 1984 totally in love with midge. Musical genius, his voice just wow and the instruments he plays, so 🔥🔥🔥 and a smile that could turn a nun. Love ultravox
@Mark Simmons your Ultravox videos are outstanding. I watch this one again & again for the brilliance of Warren Can & the boys jumping in to drum at the end…..
You think there aren't bands today that sing and play instruments well...? I know there's a lot of manufactured crap these days, but there was then too. Don't be silly.
If his voice was your voice it would'nt be his voice it would be your voice i guess and his voice would someone else's voice. I hope this clears things up.
That was Bloody Brilliant !!! Also great surname there Mark (Simmons), I’m a huge fan of Simmons Drums. I have a Simmons SDS1, SDSV, SDS7 all working and an SDS9 that needs some repair. I’m also a huge fan of Ultravox, especially retro film clips. That closing drum solo on the Simmons was just gold. Thank you for uploading Mark 👍👍👍
Saw this in Dublin so disappointed they didn’t do thin wall,but then THIS!…….then finished with new song Hymn!! Happy days. Still have the video cassette!
I was there the night this was recorded, my first ever concert aged 13 and it has stuck with me ever since as probably the best gig I ever saw and I've seen a few since. Seen these guys numerous times and glad they still did the drum ending, even Midge does it on his solo tours. Classic stuff.
First gig I ever went to - the Monument tour at the Hammersmith Odeon. I was 14, obsessed with Ultravox and the show was amazing ... Only found out recently that Chris Cross passed away. R.I.P.
![Ultravox - Vienna [Official HD Remastered Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/VVkHZz0WOqs/mqdefault.jpg)
Rest in peace Chris you were the glue that kept this band together.
Chris cross on bass guitar❤
❤
RIP Chris Cross, you were part of an amazing & incredible quartet …..
Probably one of the finest endings to any song ever produced in music history
LOL.
i was at this gig at Hammersmith, amazing stuff
agree
@@steveh1546 so was I !
@@steveh1546 same ! loved it

I totally agree 👍
Saw them Manchester Apollo too 1981 & 1982 (Rage in Eden and Quartet, Monument) then 1993. The drum scene is amazing, takes the breath away ❤
Esattamente! Sono d'accordo!
Still have rage in eden on vinyl, Vienna paid 2.50 for guy in store said it wouldn't play, it still does,little gems
I saw this tour Nov '81 at Nottingham Rock City as a young 18 year old. It was an amazing gig.
Jesus. How bloody good were Ultravox?
more than enough.
absolute amazing band
Too bloody good
You should ask " How good were their songs and music compositions ?"
In stron low tones
You know when you tell people you are into Ultravox and they always mention Vienna, well this is THE Ultravox song and the live version is well truly breathtaking. I first saw them on the Set Movements tour at the Apollo in Manchester and they were class.
Me too and still have the t-shirt although its wife beater style nowadays viva 2024
The ending is mind blowing. You don’t get stuff like this anymore.
Yep...thank goodness...it's cringeworthy, worthy of the 80s scene :)
I like Ultravox, but "mind blowing"...?
@@PA-lf8sd Patently you don't like Ultravox as to call it 'cringeworthy' is all I need to know. Why bother commenting on something that you admit you don't like?
I'm a 22 year old drummer and love just going full speed ahead with the solo. So fun, great song and great group of musicians
Nice 🤘💯
U571 that 3 way drum seaway is just brilliant on my surround sound. ....and I had this on vhs.....I'm the doctor...😀😂😁😃😢😷😲 be safe
22 year old bassist here who loves doing the same hahah
You should look into the drum machine Warren Cann built. Enormous & before its time 😊
This is in my top 5 tunes of all time. I listen to this in my truck, full volume, every day. Awesome.
This concert must have been phenomenal. Incredible musicians sharing their music with us. They sound incredible live. Gave us some breathtaking music. We were spoilt in the 80s, forever trapped in that decade.
The shape and the power of the bass!!
Calichenao...WHY was this never top comment, highlighted, with a little heart on the side?! 🤣🤣🤣...
Amazing and spot on! 😎

@@musicandfilms9956 what a, rock star. Trashing his bass
Look at Warren go!!! LOVE his talent.
Ultravox... One of the best bands of the 80's :-)
I agree
Agree!!
Absolutely! Brilliant

Be safè guys 19 hasn't gone away....respect.
Awesome part of my childhood/teenage years. Just started collecting them on cds after years of record and tapes.
This is one of the most powerful tracks I've ever heard live. Amazing. A truly great song.
Loved the original Ultravox with John Foxx and Stevie Shears in 77,I swapped T-shirts with Billy Currie for a band issue one with Ultravox on it
Love this and the drumming at the end is absolutely WONDERFUL ,goosepimples every time. Never get bored of watching it.

Timeless. Thanks to the guys for the awesome music that has lived with me for nearly 40 years 🤟
Yep. Big fan of theirs in the 1980s...college days and beyond. I keep coming back too. Good stuff. I recorded Reap The Wild Wind in my studio.
I love hearing them. Good band in the eighties. Even now I’m in my sixties. I love them all. Well done boys. Thanks for that decade.
yep 80s were the biz!...we have the memories huh. guess we lucky that the internet/YT etc came along and gave us little flashbacks
I am 54 and saw this at Liverpool empire in early 80s, one of best gigs I been to. I still listen to all 80s synth stuff now
I was at this concert. Still one of the greatest gigs I've ever been to. The noise at the end of this almost blew the roof off!
So was I. Stunning concert. I was 15. Blew me away. Off to see Midge live in Wellington (NZ) in March
I wish I was. They are/were an amazing band.
1505herzog Lucky you!!!I saw U-VOX in Italy in 1986,x U-VOX Tour,but i would have gladly changed places wt u!!!!💯👍🔝😉🎤
I envy You!!!😉👍
Me too in Birmingham
Fantastic concert. Extremely hard to find something like that today
Some of the melodic changes are outstanding. Fantastic song and performance.
I saw them during this tour in Chicago I believe in 1982 -- powerful.
Billiy Currie on the monophonic synth solo is awesome 😎
Bi-phonic synth, as he himself corrected me in the backstage after one of their concerts...
I m gonna buy one
th-cam.com/video/Btuk4nnXou0/w-d-xo.html Billy Currie and his bi-phonic synth - enjoy!
Warren Cann is nailing it big time 😬
Trailblazer drummer...mixing electronic and acoustic drums
Unos de los mejores grupos de los años 80. El final es espectacular. Como añoro esta época❤
Got this on an old vcr tape haven't heard it for over 25 years ,hairs are standing up all over ,those boys were good, got to be the best ending to a song ever
Absolutely spot on mate.Addictive ending.
Yess! Thank you! I was born 67 and I loved music like this and I still do.💕💖💓💗💝
I was there it blew me away , we lifted the roof with the raw , it was so electric .
I seen them at Newcastle City Hall.. You could feel the music.. That bass went straight through me... Awesome
You were so lucky.Never got the chance.
I saw this live at Liverpool empire in early 80s, fantastic
I had complimentary tickets to see them at the Odeon Birmingham in 84. Midge Ure sounded pitch perfect, brilliant performance.
U lucky one
The final at the drums ! What a time to be alive !
The ending... can't get enough of it.
Them beating the crap out of those drum pads is the best!
een plezier om te horen en een plezier om te zien.. wat kan muziek toch mooi zijn
Midge Ure era: best era by far. Epic Ultravox sound!!
AWESOME REALLY STUNNING!! LOVE FOREVER ULTRAVOX!!🥰🎶
ウルトラヴォックスの曲は今聴いても本当にいい曲ばかりで、その中でもこの曲は最高に格好良く最高の出来です。素晴らしいバンドでしたね。
2020 and still sounds great
2024. Ditto!!
Absolutely great, I still listen to Ultravox. It's the perfect combination of electronic pop and rock music. And Midge's voice is brillant. Unique style.

There's one outstanding band I know of beside Porcupine Tree and they are from Sweden called
'EVERGREY' if you like to rock and mellow out they are awesome, other than that most bands and ALL pop artists suck lol!
Midge Ure had a very powerfull voice !!! Amazing music of the 80's !!!
1982, I was only person in college to have this album, many lessons learnt listening to this
I had the live 'monument' lp during the 80's and I loved this version of the Voice, this is the first time I have seen it in live action, and it was exactly how I pictured it in my minds eye with all member closing out the track on drums.

The drums, the synths, the voice MERCY !!!!
And the bass!!!
Saw them 3 times back in the early 80s , brilliant every time , this song is brilliant live as is visions in blue and my favourite New European , RIP Chris.
Awesome. Saw live 1982 & 2009 at Manchester Apollo. Still sounds amazing & the drum finale brilliant. Never ceases to capture every emotion possible. Never want it to end so keep seeing again & again ❤❤
A masterpiece...
I was there, Santa Monica Civic auditorium. What composer, a presence. European ellegence. 1984, I cried.
That was hammersmith odeon london😂
Who's here in 2021!!
This is a powerful song!
I just love watching them...one of the very best bands of the early '80s
Saw Ultravox live at Kings Hall, Belfast, 1982 - hearing has never been the same since, lol !

Great band from the eighties, I saw them in Valencia in 1984. The best music combining drums, bass guitar and synthesizers. Midge Ure genius 🙌🏼
That drum sequence to finish!! First ever gig at Manchester and that has brought it all back to me!!
Same here, first gig but Birmingham, saw Ultravox then Japan...awesome start to live music
Dave Rannard I seen them at Newcastle City Hall, that drum beat went straight through me.. Amazing feeling
Mine was DeMontfort Hall Leicester, the drum finale was quite a bit longer as I recall, amazing stuff
Great band, Monument live is incredible. Wish Midge would get the boys together for a tour. Can't believe this doesn't have more views.
thrillos1 they’re on in Liverpool at the Let’s Rock 80s concert with other bands
Very very underated band... Brilliant
amazing band one of the greatest of all times
I still have my VHS of this show! This tour was the only time I ever got to see Ultravox live; it was in New York City.
Get outta here!!! was it? where the heck was i!!
I wish they hadn't intercut bits of the video, I'd rather watch the whole live show.
Bass , bass...bass... I love it.
Just brilliant. ♥
💯
Now I’m even MORE hype to see Midge Ure later this year! Going by myself as very few of my friends have even heard of Ultravox xD (born 1991)
Went last night....awesome to sing along with this and Hymn at the end of the show. Hairs standing up!
Born 1959-agree across the years!!
I'd of gone with you! none of my friends are into ultravox either!!!!
Born in 1984 totally in love with midge. Musical genius, his voice just wow and the instruments he plays, so 🔥🔥🔥 and a smile that could turn a nun. Love ultravox
WOW ! they sound utterly superb live 💙
masterpiece absolutely
@Mark Simmons your Ultravox videos are outstanding. I watch this one again & again for the brilliance of Warren Can & the boys jumping in to drum at the end…..
I saw them on this tour in San Francisco at the Kabuki Theatre in Japan Town. Just fantastic.
back when you had to be able to sing and play instruments well to make music and write masterpieces like this
You think there aren't bands today that sing and play instruments well...?
I know there's a lot of manufactured crap these days, but there was then too.
Don't be silly.
Billy curry is the heart beat of this bauhaus band he keeps it ticking along.
billy currie, probably best synth keyboard player of all time
What a bloody great band. 😊
Actualmente ya no hay grupos fantasticos como Ultravox, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, Clan of Xymox.
April 1983 - Perkins Palace, Pasadena California. My first Ultravox concert. Quintessential professionals.
If I could choose any voice I would choose Midge's. I wish I could sing with his voice.
If his voice was your voice it would'nt be his voice it would be your voice i guess and his voice would someone else's voice.
I hope this clears things up.
I was there!!! Ultravox were the soundtrack to my life for many years. Beautiful band.
I feel lucky that I managed to watch the this tour/performance when they came to Blackpool in the 80's.
saw it in Liverpool. amazing, early 80s
that drum solo at me gets me every time
Круть неповторимая!!!!💪💪💪💪
I was at one of those concerts back in back in '83.
That simultaneous drumming made an impression then.
It still does.
Cool
After all these years, I’m an 80s guy always listening on these great 👍 great 👍 80s songs. And Ultravox are one of the great bands.
Had the pleasure of seeing this incarnation of Ultravox at the Cedar club in Brum, early 80’s, they were brilliant
This was captured on the MONUMENT - THE SOUNDTRACK EP. and turns into THE SONG (WE GO) drum stuff at the end
yes the drum end is (WE GO)
Bloody fantastic
That was Bloody Brilliant !!! Also great surname there Mark (Simmons), I’m a huge fan of Simmons Drums. I have a Simmons SDS1, SDSV, SDS7 all working and an SDS9 that needs some repair.

Saw this in Dublin so disappointed they didn’t do thin wall,but then THIS!…….then finished with new song Hymn!! Happy days. Still have the video cassette!
Still gives me Goosebumps when I turn this up loud!
Great final contribution in this magnificent song, simply great!!
Thats how you did it in the 80's excellent.......

Epic drums!
I saw two of their four nights at Hammersmith on this tour. Same week Simple Minds twice at the Lyceum, and The Jam at Wembley.
Lucky boy!!
Ho avuto il piacere di ascoltarli in concerto a Zelarino ( Ve) nel settembre 1984 ... Grandi!!!
That is the best way to end a song great sound (the sound of the electronic drum is something else)
Brilliant! saw them in 1983, King Hall, Belfast...when they finished with the Drums...awesome!
First gig I ever went to - the Monument tour at the Hammersmith Odeon. I was 14, obsessed with Ultravox and the show was amazing ... Only found out recently that Chris Cross passed away. R.I.P.
Saw them live in GLoucester Circa '84 - when they played this live it was like the future had suddenly arrived
💯🤩 midge the legend
I love the extended chorus!
I'm so glad that I lived all this - They were so special - we can see the energy blowing through the air!...
Thanks very much for this - my first ever gig at Hammersmith Odeon. I just missed catching Billie Currie's drumstick at the end of this.
Paul Mason Same here mate, Hammersmith was awesome!
I was at Liverpool empire for this, awesome, also just missed catching the drumsticks thrown into the crowd at the end
I was there too.
The end of this song is just epic!!
The master of synthe pop ever .....Cheers mate ....
