It could have been. In my very humble opinion, the studio version is way over-produced. There's a stripped-down version with just Eric on keys and Graham on acoustic guitar that is astounding.
Reminds me of the best year of my life when I became an Army Photographer at RAF Cosford and set eyes on my beautiful wife Rhona a beautiful RAF nurse. Wonderful summer. Worked hard, fell in love and lived happily ever after until I lost her to a tragic car accident. This beautiful song always stops me in my tracks, transports me back to a beautiful time that was. Thank you 10cc.❤
This song stood out back in 1975, They weren't a super group so to speak, But this song stuck with me for my whole life, I was 15 when this came out, It was one of those top five songs you remember from your youth. Everyone should have a song like this to take you back to the good old days!
Agreed. It's mind-blowing that they could perform this song live, so well. The wife and I graduated HS together in 1975. High School Sweethearts. But for us, it was 'I am in love', and still to this day.
Absolutely a brilliantly composed, arranged, and produced song that took multi-track vocals to places not seen before when it was released. It's very rare that a pop-rock song that doesn't have any drums becomes #1 on the Billboard UK charts, which it achieved in 1975. It still sounds great today in 2024!
I’m 61 now and this music brings memories of good old times. If I ever get my time machine working, I’m going straight to the 70’s and this time I’m staying there and never going to leave
Hey I was also 14 when this song came out back in ‘75. I love that era of music. I feel so blessed to have been a kid growing up in the 70’s. So glad to have enjoyed all of that wonderful music in real time.
You will take the knowledge of the dates when all the people that you know and love will die. You will never find peace of mind knowing and dreading those upcoming events. Your desire to more deeply appreciate the good times will never happen because of the overwhelming dread of losing those people a second time. How do I know these things?
The layered vocals in this song is phenomenal and masterfully done. Having their admin/receptionist whisper 'big boys don't cry' was the icing on the cake. This song is so powerful if you've ever been so in love and had a difficult time expressing it. It's a work of art.
Have watched several videos of this song, with several different people singing lead vocals, and even though Mick Wilson is not an original member of 10CC, have to say that his vocals stand out as the best of those on the more recent versions of the song. Was a teenager when the song was originally released in the 1970's and it's always been one of my favorites
Amazing, perfect. Who cares if it's not the original members (except for Gouldman). They are all at the top of their game and they deserve a huge thumbs up!!
Drummer Paul Burgess (who originally joined as a touring member in 1973, and later full-time in 1976), guitarist Rick Fenn (who first joined in 1976), keyboardist and guitarist Keith Hayman (from 2007 to 2011, and since . So yes, maybe not all original but Goldman but, a few have been around for 35+ years so we can give them a pass 😉
My first year in college, one of the first albums I ever purchased - my favorite, really. This song I would re-play and re-play ad infinitum. I could never get enough of it. It touches my soul still - it always brings me to tears. Always. This was beautiful. Wish I could've been there. 10CC was a great band - brilliant, moving, with beautiful instrumentation and voices. 💐💐💐🙏🏽💞
Its so good to see that bands are still together playing some of the best music ever written. Just goes to show that songs that are over 40 years old are still appreciated and loved. A time when real musicians played real instruments. Songs like these will be remembered forever.
opening chords sent shivers down my spine with haunting memories of a girl i once knew. Great version (if not better) this song really takes you back in time.....in a world much different then today. To the boys in the band i say thank you
I remember learning how difficult and complex this song was to master and record. There's a video of it somewhere on TH-cam. The fact that they came this close to that version LIVE, is really quite incredible. One of my favorite songs of the 70's. The guy's voice has held up incredibly well considering this is 35 yrs. later. Well done!!
@@qtrhors1 You guys must be living my life! This and "I go crazy" are the two songs from high school that bring me to tears. Great times that we'll never experience again...
Ooh I love this song. Junior in high school at the time of this song for me. The best times of my life were the 70’s. My adult life sucked. Thank you for this beauty. Dang, my eyes won’t stop crying! ☺️🥹😌
LIved through these times, I'm not sure anything will replace the 70's- early 80's, so many Great sounds came out of those years. I think back of all the things I missed and am so glad that I was there for all of the things I didn't. Thank you .
Nostalgy strikes likes electric shiver down my spine everytime I listen to this song-all those years of my youth are gone forever.Back those days when love was such an easy game to play...
My kids grew up listening to this music because I always had tunes going. When my son was 14 or 15 and didn’t like my decisions and threw a little tantrum like a baby, and would pout I would always wisper big boys, don’t cry! big boys, don’t cry! He’s 30 and we laugh about it today.
How cool is THAT!! You must have made some kind of an impression upon him if he remembered you from that long back. So awesome to get to meet the Classic Rockers from back in the day
Dayyyyymmmmmm!!!!!! Made my heart melt and made me ALL UP IN MY FEELINGS again!!!! I LOVE YOU ALL. THANK YOU FOR THAT!!!! (Head bow)… ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ #Bravo. #StandingOvation
I was just now remembering where I was when this song was on the radio. I was remembering some things that were happening in my life. Then I remembered where I lived. A little apartment at the alley behind a house. Then I remembered the exact location of the apartment. I raised my hand and pointed over my right shoulder without turning my head. I just remembered that apartment was across the alley from my current house. I went outside at night and walked over to the dilapidated shack. I just remembered some things that I wanted to forget. I wasn't in love. It was just a silly thing I was going through.
This music video should be getting more views than what it is actually getting. Despite this, I think it's a great video to watch when you're feeling lonely.
I was 6 years old when listen this song. From then on I was always a fan of this song, it always inspired me to sail on a boat or from the shore listening to "I'm not in love."😌😌😌
My goodness music was so good!! There's still great music today but the harmonies, chord progressions, musicianship, songwriting, melodies, composition, arrangements, and production values were just so incredible!
The Best of The Best!!! Gives me all the feels…. Driving to the PX from Long Island with my sisters … Dad driving his Green cutlass Supreme…. 😊😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️
I feel you... blast to the past... to the freedoms that many will never know... I’m in the back of a grand Torino station wagon... mom and dad in front... my two little brothers driving me crazy... but 8m in the back laying back looking out the rear window... watching the yellow light lampposts going by... and I feel okay... because Dad’s driving. This song is on the radio... it’s 1976 and everything is okay.
Well they cannot to be the original team but their work is pretty good, it make me shiver like a 1975 version To the date my father is passed on with 91 years old, how does he loved this song in the age.. I was 17, now I am 61 years old.
How can you not say this is one of the greatest songs of all time? My God.
This live performance... is sure among the finest.
It is a timeless classic for sure.
Actually, I'd go so far as to say one of the greatest bands. Musically and lyrically they are amazing.
It could have been. In my very humble opinion, the studio version is way over-produced. There's a stripped-down version with just Eric on keys and Graham on acoustic guitar that is astounding.
Ikr.❤

I hope this memory heals rather than hurts… this song is just magic for the soul.
so sorry to hear that mate.
😮❤😢
Si es una tonada molt fàcil de recordar i molt bonica per ballar
😢😢😢
im 68 now what i would give to relive 1970 to 1979 again magical years
Tell me bout it!
Magical years 😢
I totally agree with you . Because the 70's music my favorite ERA .
This song stood out back in 1975, They weren't a super group so to speak, But this song stuck with me for my whole life, I was 15 when this came out, It was one of those top five songs you remember from your youth. Everyone should have a song like this to take you back to the good old days!
Remember hearing this song on my little Green transistor radio back in the day.
I was 11 back then used to play my 45 single all the time still love it in 2023
Ditto
👍🇦🇺 i hear you , i was in my 30s when it came out . Have a listen to Ceelo Green singing at " Daryl's House " of Hall and Oates fame .
I could repeat all you said, except I was 16 at the time. 😊
One of the coolest songs of all time. So majestic, ethereal, trippy, beautiful.
Still one of the most incredible songs ever recorded - almost 40 years later!
totally agree john.
Agreed!
Agreed. It's mind-blowing that they could perform this song live, so well. The wife and I graduated HS together in 1975. High School Sweethearts. But for us, it was 'I am in love', and still to this day.

My God the memories this song brings back..
RIP Donna..My love..always
This song is one of my all time favorites and this version is simply amazing.
One of the best songs ever recorded! Love it every time I hear it!
I’m 61 now and this music brings memories of good old times. If I ever get my time machine working, I’m going straight to the 70’s and this time I’m staying there and never going to leave
you must have been a baby when this song first came out

@@rhuephus Math much?????
I'll join you!

I agree on all of what you've said. This song hits home for me.
It's one of my most memorable songs for me ever.
I was in my mid 20s when this came out. I loved it then. Now, in my mid 70s, I love it just as much….more, even.
Damn This song is timeless and will be just as fresh in 100 years. Just absolutely AWESOME !!!!
We’ll still be listening to this in another 45 years, while the crap they play on the radio today will be on the crap pile where it belongs.
This song is a masterpiece.
It takes you away ! Love it
In my 70's now, does this bring back memories good and bad 😂😢 beautiful soñg ❤
Cant believe this song is so old. Amazing sing.
I sure miss 1975. This song is timeless

This guy is a tremendous lead singer!!
Una de las mejores canciones de todos los tiempos. Es atemporal. Simplemente hermosa. La obra maestra de 10cc.
The Sound Engineer of this concert is a G E N I U S
agreed. Vocals are so important. It's not you is it lol>?
Great comment!! I have always said the sound engineer is as important as anyone on the stage, if not more important
Totally agree, a great sound engineer is a must for all live bands. The mix is amazing
Yessss
W O R D.
Super wykonanie po tylu latach działalności zespołu 10 CC.................... BRAWO !!!
Amazing, perfect. Who cares if it's not the original members (except for Gouldman). They are all at the top of their game and they deserve a huge thumbs up!!
Totally agree, not even sure that Stewart could could have sung it as well in 2010l.
Their drummer (playing percussion) is their touring drummer since the '70's.
Rick Fenn has been with `10CC since mid 1970s, He told me that he was on the Bloody Tourists album.
i care why dosent Eric tour with them
Drummer Paul Burgess (who originally joined as a touring member in 1973, and later full-time in 1976), guitarist Rick Fenn (who first joined in 1976), keyboardist and guitarist Keith Hayman (from 2007 to 2011, and since .

What a GREAT performance...and so are the memories.

I remember this well in my junior year of high school. I still play it today. It transcends time and space. Graham Goldman is a genius.
I am the lucky one who listens to this song everyday and appreciate the band .
*They did an Amazing Job for the last 51 years*
opening chords sent shivers down my spine with haunting memories of a girl i once knew. Great version (if not better) this song really takes you back in time.....in a world much different then today. To the boys in the band i say thank you
True
All around the world feels the same..
what is it about this and the other songs from the 70's? Way better high than any drug!
Amen!!
😯

This guy is Mick Wilson
NEVER gets OLD !!!😅
I was getting my musical chops down in '75. 10 CC & Ambrosia were huge influences at that time...
The memories from my childhood come crashing down like a waterfall with this song. Thank you.
Mick Wilson sings; amazing voice, good feeling
Really? I thought it was Eric Stewart, himself.
“I’m Not in Love” with this song but the melody is captivating. The live performance matches the studio version exactly!
I love this song, reminds me of my first love, still sends shivers down my spine when I hear it.
Same here.....im 62 now but it still makes me cry.
@@qtrhors1 You guys must be living my life! This and "I go crazy" are the two songs from high school that bring me to tears. Great times that we'll never experience again...
There are not many groups that sound as good as this live. Awesome! :D
This is not 10CC, it's just musicians with one original member
headly66 I didnt know that.
Graham Gouldman deserves to carry the name 10cc!
Best I've seen live
The Absolute Best Song In The World...My favorite Ever!
I agree but it was just sent to me by my man ? Nice huh ? Oh well
What a great song. The harmonies are haunting. When the song is over I still hear it echoing in my head.
Ooh I love this song. Junior in high school at the time of this song for me. The best times of my life were the 70’s. My adult life sucked. Thank you for this beauty. Dang, my eyes won’t stop crying! ☺️🥹😌
I couldn't of said that any better than you did
one of the best songs ever written
Trying to do this song live could’ve been a total disaster, but they nailed it!❤
Love this song! I listen to it over and over ❤
These voices… Never will get old… Such talent!!
So many memories for me i was 16 full of life loved the party this song bring back great days in my life ❤❤❤❤❤
LIved through these times, I'm not sure anything will replace the 70's- early 80's, so many Great sounds came out of those years. I think back of all the things I missed and am so glad that I was there for all of the things I didn't. Thank you .
Co za emocje, co za wykonanie ❤- mam 63 lata a ciarki mnie przechodzą...
Sempre que ouço essa música passa um filme na minha mente, pessoas, lugar... Muito saudosismo!!
Nostalgy strikes likes electric shiver down my spine everytime I listen to this song-all those years of my youth are gone forever.Back those days when love was such an easy game to play...
Some bands just never lose it.
I'm amazed after 30 years they still made it. the emotion, his voice, the feeling of the song, its so great!
The lead vocals here has an amazing voice, but he’s not the original lead vocal who actually recorded it. But this live show sounded great.
Lazzy hope yre Fine enjoy some 10cc 2day😊🎉🎉🎉
It's been almost FIFTY years, buddy!!
10ccずーっと好きです❤️
癒されます
Thousands of numpties there not even realising that they can hear a master piece of a song!
One of most underrated bands in history!
I love it even though it hurts me ..Just had it sent to me
My kids grew up listening to this music because I always had tunes going. When my son was 14 or 15 and didn’t like my decisions and threw a little tantrum like a baby, and would pout I would always wisper big boys, don’t cry! big boys, don’t cry! He’s 30 and we laugh about it today.
I had my photo taken with these guys (aged 10) in Brisbane in 1977. In 2002 in Townsville Graham remembered. Brilliant! Real People.
How cool is THAT!! You must have made some kind of an impression upon him if he remembered you from that long back. So awesome to get to meet the Classic Rockers from back in the day
Dayyyyymmmmmm!!!!!! Made my heart melt and made me ALL UP IN MY FEELINGS again!!!! I LOVE YOU ALL. THANK YOU FOR THAT!!!! (Head bow)…

I still love this song. I grew up with it 😊
Amazing song and an amazing band.
I’m 68 and remember this song so well. 10 cc was a band were so ahead of their time.
This music video should be getting more views than what it is actually getting. Despite this, I think it's a great video to watch when you're feeling lonely.
Amazed that this tune could be so well executed live at an outdoor venue.. Kudos to the band and the sound crew!
Epic & timeless .
Great.. great... great song....very special... thank you boys..!!
One of my favorite songs. They still sounded great here.
I was 6 years old when listen this song. From then on I was always a fan of this song, it always inspired me to sail on a boat or from the shore listening to "I'm not in love."😌😌😌
And Ladies and Gentlemen that's how music is to be made
Great music and harmonies! Brings back lots of amazing memories! This song never gets old!
One of my childhood songs I heard love it then and still today. Music that brings love and has true meaning. Thank you 10cc, for your music.
My goodness music was so good!!
There's still great music today but the harmonies, chord progressions, musicianship, songwriting, melodies, composition, arrangements, and production values were just so incredible!
Unbelievably great live version of an unbelievably great song. Total respect!!!!!!!!!!
Puts a massive smile on face to see them still going strong and performing well, many years later!
What a great song. Late 60s now and I don’t think I’ve ever been in love
Great Song I was still a kid when this song came out in 1975 I was ten years old, but I remember 😉👍❤
Mick Wilson nails this!!! Eric I’m sure is proud of this version!!
The Best of The Best!!! Gives me all the feels…. Driving to the PX from Long Island with my sisters … Dad driving his Green cutlass Supreme…. 😊😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️
Not essy to pull this off live.
Absolutely incredible
I feel you... blast to the past... to the freedoms that many will never know... I’m in the back of a grand Torino station wagon... mom and dad in front... my two little brothers driving me crazy... but 8m in the back laying back looking out the rear window... watching the yellow light lampposts going by... and I feel okay... because Dad’s driving. This song is on the radio... it’s 1976 and everything is okay.
Such a "BEAUTIFUL" song!!...Always has been!!... and the creation of it was "Pure Genius!!"🎶🙏🎵
Iconic song. They always still play it on radio stations timeless!!!
these guys were so ahead of their time in the 70s.. one of the first albums I ever puchased was rubber bullets when I was 13.. good memories!
Only Goldman from the 70s group. Stewart, godley and Creme not there
F***ING AWESOME! I use to hear this song on the radio when I was only six years old! Incredible!
This song doesn't exist! Too good to be truth!
Legendaria!
No me canso de escucharla, desde 1975, marco mi vida. " No tengo Amor".
Esta es una canción que según les oí a Manolo y Ramón (El Dúo Dinámico) les hubiera gustado componer y cantar ellos. Y eso es un elogio enorme.
Fall of 1975. Warren High School Warren RI parking listening to this in my 1969 Pontiac Lemans with GF. Thanks for the memories!
what a lovely band, what a great song ever!
Lovely. One of THE best bands from the Day.
Wow !!!! He’s so great !!!!!!!!
Genius you are, Wilson you were a great singer, nothing else near of the original track than you mate
👋👋👋👋👋🇪🇨🇪🇨 greetings from western South America
Enfeitiçada em 2022. Quantas lembranças... Hoje com 51 minha memória volta no tempo... Como é bom isso... ❤️
I was in love,but did not know it. At the time,Angie, you will always be in my heart.
great song and surprised the live version so much later still sound so good!
Great live version! I love this song he`s too proud to admit that I fall in love.
They only got 100 times better ! BRAVO !!
Saw them live in 73 74 Ottawa Art centre one of my most amazing Bands
BEAUTIFUL, SOUNDS SO GOOOOOD
Well they cannot to be the original team but their work is pretty good, it make me shiver like a 1975 version
To the date my father is passed on with 91 years old, how does he loved this song in the age..
I was 17, now I am 61 years old.
