Look at this kids… real musicians, real vocals, original music being played live w/ no loops. Yeah… this use to be a requirement for bands.
Couldn’t have said it better myself!
Hey if it works.... I seriously gotta disagree with this sentiment
Even for the best voices ever auto tune has a cool twang very useful
@ I hate auto tune to be honest. It sounds robotic. I prefer the real voice, pitchy and all. There’s far too much auto tune bring used for rap, pop music. It sounds like shit to me. Basically it’s a way for people who can’t sing without it. That’s my opinion and I understand know one gives a shit lol. Like I said, I just like the real deal.
@@eddiepullman2745 yea me too but the twang has its use for example
Exactly!!! Real Rock 🪨 and Roll!!!
Same 5 guys for 40 years never giving into trends just sticking what they do and that's what I admire most about them. If you ever have a chance to catch them live do it while you can you'll never regret it.
This band still sounds amazing. Love it love it love it.
Jamie West-Oram - underrated guitarist. Saw the FIXX last summer live. Blown away.
He's rated exactly where he belongs.
Believe he was Tina Turner's musical director for many years during her 80s resurgence. You don't get that job if you're a musical slouch.
One of the great songs of the '80s.
Damn right.
It's in my personal Top 10
Underrated guitarist absolutely. Cleanest sounding Stratocaster, sounds like open tuning on this song. They wore this song out on FM radio in 1983, was working in a sheet metal shop -- takes me back instantly.
These guys should of been bigger than they were!!
Totally!!!! They were phenomenal!!😎
Honestly ? I think they seem quite happy & content with how well they've done for themselves...and I am happy for them as well.
@@sjames5694 I wonder though if they have good recent songs or if they are pulling a def leppard loverboy bon jovi move, tour on 2 good 1980s CDs of songs
Well ... that's the understatement of the 80's... Ink is a great great album ... despite that the Fixx hate it.
@@sjames5694 What makes you say that? Cy Curnin has made 4 solo albums and has 208 TH-cam subscribers.
I just saw them a week ago in Clearwater FL, what a show! The previous Saturday they rehearsed in the next studio over from my band, and we met their sound guy before they showed up! I had the pleasure of meeting Adam on his way in! Two of us from my band sat at the sound board all night with Robi! Pleasantly surprised with them 45 years later, fantastic show and incredible light show!
I saw them last Saturday night and they were fantastic! Love them all but Cy Curnin has such a great voice that I could listen to all day long. He also has great charisma and a look that are hard to ignore. 🔥🔥
The “problem” was that the ‘70’s & ‘80’s yielded so much great music that great bands like this one, City Boy, Be Bop Deluxe, Camel et al didn’t get the fame and recognition they deserved.
In 2024, this still packs a punch. Bless these guys.
My son and I seen them for The Fixxmas tour Christmas 2019. Incredible performance! They’ve been my favorite band since the early 80’s. My son is hooked! I’ve started the next generation of The Fixx fan club.
This one was one of the great songs of the 80's along with Secret Separation!
Absolutely. Secret Separation is my favourite of their songs but this is a close second.
My word is all I can say...still incredible after 30 plus years?!? Cy Curnin...always loved his unique voice and vocalizations. Saw them twice in the 80's in concert, as the opening act, and they were the only reason I went to the concert.
Saw them as an opening act for The Police and it just blew me away--so amazing. Back in the 80's at the Orange Bowl Stadium on a cold wintry night with the stars out---I am so blessed to have seen them.
@@danettecute They played the Tangerine bowl in 1983 with the Police and Oingo Boingo. It was Oct. 29th and it was a great show to go to. I'm glad I kept most of my concert tickets.
I saw them @ the Tangerine Bowl in Orlando in 1980 or 1981 !! @@danettecute
or was 1983?? !! The good Ole Daze !!
BeirutVeteranMarine JT They opened, sometimes with Flock Of Seagulls, on The Police's Synchronicity tour. Saw tour in 83/84(?) with R.E.M opening in Hartford,Ct!
Awesome... miss these guys! Great and under-rated 80's talent. Not much to replace them since that era... certainly not anything from the way-too-long-lasting Alt.Rock era!
Caught these guys as the opening act for Moody Blues in Macon Ga. baCK in mid 80's. They were FANTASTIC.
I saw them on that tour too in Hampton, Va.
They sound fantastic, like not a day has passed since the 80,s.
Great performance. Those guys kept them selves in great shape also.
right!
Classic tune by such an under rated band and loved The Fixx since the early 80's and Damn still sound great...
One of my favorite bands back then. Saw them twice. Loved tripping out to their music on MdmA.
Underrated by who?? Never saw a bad review of them in the 30 plus years they've been putting out music.
I never get that comment about the Fixx they are not underrated man, anybody that knows anything about music knows who The Fixx are and know that they are the pinnacle of what live bands are about that's the best part about them if you have a chance to see them live do it. Actually the best part that I admire the most is they have never given into trends and change their sound they've always stuck to what they do and they do it damn well. How many bands do you know that have been around for forty years and it's still the same five guys and they're all still on top of their game!!?? Underrated my ass.
@@badmonkey2222 YADA YADA YADA Dude if you read my comment I have seen them since the 80's and still love their music and under rated may not be the right statement,they don't get all the recognition they deserve
Wow you look and sound great!!
One of my favorite bands from the eighties
Why FIXX it if it's not broken . TIMELESS!!!!!
"Because everybody needs a Fixx" ... from their 80's tour commercial. lol
"Buy a Ticket, please, to that Fixx Tracks Tour" is/was the Tour Jingle Ray Parker, Junior submitted, to The Fixx, around 1984. "If only he had included his Phone Number and not used the Backing Track, to a different Jingle, Ray and his Jingle might have had a Ghost of a chance", said The News, at no time. "KITT" from Knight Rider and Katt Williams, also, denied comment, as they were being probed, Anally, by Beldar Conehead, at the time. Beldar thinks Farts are Ghosts, named "Buster". What an asshole.
I am sooo late to this party, I got hit with some 80's nostalgia and started a binge of this band. I wish I had been old enough to go to one of their shows when I was listening to them on the radio back then. But damn, they still sound as good as they did back then. It's crazy to me that the majority of the bands in the 80's genre wrote about the cold war and global nuclear attacks. Makes me wonder how the writing would sound today with today's world events but done in the 80's...Really do love this band though!
This performance deserves a quadrillion views if not more !!! They sound awesome !!! One of my favorites songs of all time !!
Wow. I'm glad I found this version.. They still have it.. I've probably seen them back in the day many times.. Still underated.. Probably my top 10 80s group. .
The high school/college band I played bass in back in the 80's had this song in our repertoire.
One of the coolest bands from the 80s.
They still sound great!
I saw them at a small venue in Fort Lauderdale and I cannot believe how amazing this band is and how they are not filling stadiums! They are the coolest band I know. Every musician is a gem. Coolest band ever! Best lyrics, bass, guitar & keyboards & I used to play their music in bands back in the day as well!! Kbds!
How this band didn’t get bigger than they did, is beyond me.
they were pretty big in my day in the late 70s and 80s, everyone knew of the fixx, they're not led zeppelin or rush but they're damn good, they had a lot of songs played on the radio.
Because they only had 3 or 4 really GREAT (and they were AWESOME!) hit-worthy songs. Red Skies, Saved by Zero, One Thing Leads to Another, Are we Ourselves. Did I miss any?
They've done just fine for themselves anybody that knows anything about music knows about the Fixx they've done just fine. 40 years the same five guys never giving in to trends and changing their sound just sticking what they do that's what I admire about the most. They're still putting out new music they just put out a new album and are touring the US in 2023 and if you have a chance to catch them alive do it while you still can you'll never regret it.
@@phillipzx3754Stand or Fall, Deeper & Deeper, Secret Separation...
They were invited to play Live Aid in '85, but their producer had them booked in the studio instead. Missed a global television & radio audience of a billion people. The bands that played like U2 added 20 yrs. of high profile shelf life to their careers. The Fixx are legends regardless.
The 80s and 90s rule !
I always digged The Fixx.🎶🎵🎼
I loved these guys back in the day. First two albums were brilliant- wish I could find them again.
the opening of this song is so powerful .. the drums ,bass and guitar in the beginning ,, wow... this band got better with age
Amazing Performance Live.... hot!
80's!
ANOTHER "Fixx" song I absolutely LOVE!!! Well done Fella's!!!
I’m a metal head and I love this band
Still a great band.
Omg one of my favorite songs... such a tiny exclusive show. I wish I could have been there!
THEY SOUND FANTASTIC!!! WOW..
Una de las bandas pilares de la new wave aún vigente.... siempre han sido una de las mejores bandas de todos los tiempos !! Es la banda que falta que toque en Chile !!!
I still listen to the Fixx after more than 25 years. And I still love it. I have the greatest hits I'm sure it was ...1983
the fixx. ..the best 80's group
does that guitar style have a name?
compressed style.... lots of compression and delay on a clean Fender...... 80's guitar defined.
They were great. Saw them open for The Police. They weren't better than The Police.
@@robinsss The Jamie West-Oram Style
Saw them live twice just great show !!!
One of my FAVORITE songs of the 80ties. They still sound great. I want to see them live and relive those great 80ties. KROQ Pasadena CA!!!!!
Love this band!
thank you more THE FIXX & the many years of great tunes
I remember hearing this as a kid and being blown away by their sound. Then I noticed the keyboardist was using chains to make sounds and was sampling all types of odd background noises.... Sooooo cool for the 80's!!!!
Amazing! Those vocals...thank you. Everyone in that band thank you.
Wow
Great mix down. Still listening and grooving 2020. Thanks for the post.
Solid! Somehow I'm seeing this 11 years after the fact, but still awesome.
This group's music was played a lot in the clubs in England and really enjoying listening to them.
That guitar guy on the right is the GLUE of super talent there!!! His techniques are super duper!!
One of the greatest songs of the 80's. The Band still sounds awesome after 30 years.
WOW you guys still got it I was 20 years old when this came out solid band with the same cool vibe theres only one Fix The FIX!!!!
Fixx
Man they still sound great!
Saw them in a small venue..not this small...but the whole house belting it out. It was sublime.
This isn't a "small venue" show, it's an In Studio Performance for BING Lounge. Basically recording at an Internet Radio Station. The crowd are a select few lucky people who won seats.
He looks and sounds great..so refreshing.
Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic.
Man, I forgot just how great these gentlemen sound live. An excellent band from the 80's, still excellent today. Better than 99% of today's music, these songs from the Bing lounge event have stood the test of time, as well as just about everything else The Fixx have done.
PS: Saw them live years ago in a sweaty little club in Dayton OH, with a raging thunderstorm outside that knocked the power out twice, a leaking roof (right over the drum kit), these guys soldiered on and blew me away! Great great band!
They still sound amazing! I remember seeing them live in concert back in the 80’s. 🎶
Finally got to see them recently and they put on a incredible show!! This is one of my favorite songs and a great version!! 😀😀
I forgot how awesome these mates are. Everything flows the was you think it should be.
Amazing that they stayed intact after all this time! They still sound great! And I always liked the guitar 🎸 playing of Jamie West Oram!
Such talent!!! So under appreciated.
I really appreciate that they didn’t change it live. And his voice is still so clear and beautiful 💓
My first concert with Flock of Seagulls.. Sound as good as they did in the early 80s. Amazing. Great work guys.
I love the fixx! Always love them! Ever since the first time i heard of them, i had to get their albums! And they still sounds amazing!🔊🥁🎸🎹🎤🎚🎛🎵🎶🤟😎👍
Here I am again, alive and kicking. Praising the fixx. 2023. That's all folks. Lol. ✌
Awesome, awesome, awesome,,,,,,,,,,, thanks for posting. These guys still sound just as good as in their early days. thanks JJ
This song is magic
As awesome as ever, superb performance by the most underrated '80s band.
What a great sound they had and still do. I loved their music........I bought their album the instant I heard it.....Amazing how good they sound at this club in 2012....
Wow ! Great job after so many years .
These guys are amazing. These guys know music.
Fantastic Job!!!!!!
KINK FM, a legendary FM station from the 1960's.
Saw this band at a spring break concert in Daytona Beach front row.
I remember the bass player!! Great concert for these aging musicians!!!
Saw the Fixx at the Rose in Pasadena Ca in July 2018. Incredibly amazing band. Cy is so great. They did the entire Reach the Beach album. I play the drums and play their music every day.
One the best still has it!!! Love these guys!
the Fixx rocks. Had them on vinyl !!! Saw them at the old Eagles' Lounger in Milwaukee ages ago....
That was great - brings me right back to 1982. Great guitar tones!
Great Band! The song is the Color of our skies TODAY!
Fantastic song by a very underrated group. Many (myself included) initially thought the meaning of the song had to do with the old mariners saying; "Red skies at night, sailors delight, red skies at morn, sailors take warn. Turns out that is not so. Since this song was written during the "Cold War," the song is about the aftermath of a nuclear fall out (per Cy Curnin). He went on to say the following: "I was feeling that sense of impotence back then in the early '80s or late '70s when Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher were getting in bed together, metaphorically speaking, and designing a whole defense system that involved Europeans' lives without asking us - it was never on any electorate ballot that I can remember." Interesting, but not surprising given the time frame it was written. It was a crazy time back then, but at least it helped produce some amazing music by some great artists.
Underrated?? Are you fucking serious?? They personify the 80's sound and music scene.
Wow I was a junior in high school when this song came out.How time fly's. Great song.
I was 12 when this song came out but I never got into this band until about 2004.. I got into other bands, but better late then never!
Been a FIX fan since the 80's. Being a musician myself and about their age, I thought this was really great. Great job guys.......
You can't be a real fan. You spelled their name incorrectly.
Blow Me....... How bout that.....Type-O you moron @@jumpinjojo
What a bad a** band. It’s awesome to see that a great band like this can still sound the same after almost 40 years.
Thanks for putting this up here. Long time fan, finally got to see them play about a month ago. They still got it. Jamie crushes the guitar stuff and the rhythm section was tight n right.
Never gets old.I have 4 different versions of that song love em the same.
Great song and still great voice! Bravo 👍🏻!!
awesome jobs guys,, Love it ..I love talent..
tremendously talented great lyrics and music!!
Great performance! I thought the audience was actually cardboard cutouts until they applauded at the end!.
This isn't a "concert", it's an In Studio Performance for BING Lounge. Basically recording at an Internet Radio Station for a few lucky fans who won seats.
These guys sound great, good music is timeless. Cy is a really talented lead singer, he makes it look easy.
Love these guys!
Glad the guy running the mix finally added Reverb & Delay to his vocals midway through the song. The beginning was so up front and punchy. Killer song and band!
oh I love this band still
Favorite band ever!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brilliant band!
A CLASSIC !!!
