Top of their game in 1984, no other band could touch them, Mac's voice outstanding, Les and Pete superb, and Will simply the best, want this played at my funeral.
Wow! that's amazing (was only 14 at the time and lived in California); I didn't get to see them live until 1988 when I could drive to San Francisco to see them.
One of those songs where you have to try really hard to enjoy the whole thing because you can’t wait to hear him do the soaring ‘beneath the waaaaaves’ bit towards the end 😅
I was there at this gig and agree was one of the best versions ever of this song (but check out the version on the Tube around the same time Pete’s drumming is immense) but as has been mentioned you’re waiting for the build up to Mac going to the soaring Beneath your Waaaaaaves…nothing can top it..

So beautifull.. and the echo of the guitar
This is the absolute best.

I was 13 at this gig, my elder brother took me round the country following the tour, I've followed every tour since, best band of all time.
Can't believe this post only has 4k views; this is an amazing early live recordings of OCEAN RAIN one of the greatest songs ever!!!!
One of my fav and MOST simplistic songs ever!
Possibly the best version of Ocean Rain ever.
I loved this era of EATB. No affectations. I miss Pete.Ian's vocals are beautiful.
Saw them on their Ocean Rain Tour in Austin, Tx----Austin Opera House----'84.....Billy Bragg opened....
