can't believe you can't tell it was fake and done using the keyboard . ;) Had to cover his face every time to try to hide the fact. Still my all time fav song from the 80"s
Shoms Photography no it wasn’t fake he’s been singing it live and acoustically recently and hasn’t stopped singing that note and notes that are higher live... thats one thing he has never done since the days in the 80s when tv companies made bands lip synch, their tours since 86 were always without backing track too , they fought against it in the first tour - they also do their own harmonies (Pal & Mags) incidentally I’m a music technician and vocalist too & saw them live 3 weeks ago
@@Vikki-Waiting-victoriagrace i saw them live and seen him sing the acoustical versions and he can;t hit the high note any more. I can tell the difference between real and fake vocal effects. Still a great song
Shoms Photography well i can say the same as its a job I’m trained in both vocals, mixing desk, PA’ing , studio and also digital effects that your eluding to. He’s sang it live all year including the gig i went to cant comment on what you were present at of course also a sampled voice played through a keyboard doesnt sound like a live or even ‘real’ vocal even still today (its just not how its Usually done) , you would here the difference using head phones and you cant, theres many artists that I’m a fan of which ive caught doIng that tho but still rate, bit in this instance its not the case. He sang acoustic a few months back which was live too I’m in contact with someone who was involved which i can vouch for. Unfortunate you heard something else somewhere but here he was live (Incidentally he didn’t cover his mouth every time)Makes no difference for us fans tho, wether it was bc he was ill at the gig your referrng to (although hes always previously just said ‘I’m ill but will try’ and has sometimes not done a good job bc he has integrity - so it seems odd if he didnt this time) we just love to watch a live band play live as they always have still even now, he has changed his singing style to accomadate the the HHAL set which i think us fans appreciate so we can still enjoy this project, so i will continue to enjoy and join everyone in complimenting them rather than anything else. That’s what I enjoy about this kind of forum mixing with like minded ppl not all of the set was flawless but no ive set is there were mistakes but I honestly dont care about that so I’m not going to get into it. Nice to chat tho :0).
When a band comes out and plays a classic song 35 years later and it's somehow more mature and better than ever. That is a major accomplishment. I got chills.
Just astonishing how intact his vocals are. The guy is 60 for goodness sake! At this rate of ageing he'll live to about 135. Simply one of the greatest rock pop bands in history. I hope more of the UK and others delve into the 21st century albums because there are absolute gems on all of them. Keep going guys - absolutely superb.
Yes he definitely has great range . Back in the 80s when i was kid. I thought that was computers on his voice . Now i realize that his true range. Very impressive
...one of the iconic songs of 80s ..these are the real MEN of 80s,...no drugs,...no shit disorientations,....or any other shit,...still going strong and can deliver goods,....beautiful people that Universe has given to us....
I am a young 60 > and this still sends a chill and makes me bop .. simply one of the iconic sounds of the 80s ... you only have to hear the intro ... so simple but brilliant
I can remember when this video premiered on MTV. It was cutting edge! That was back in the day when MTV played videos 24/7. Still one of my favorite videos. Morten still has amazing vocals.
Opening the concert with modified scenes from Commuter was a brilliant idea. I wish A-ha would hire Mike Patterson again now in 2020 to do some new animations of some A-ha's biggest concerts and biggest moments throughout time, and create an animated video montage. The time for something like that is very prime right now, and I think fans would eat it up and I think it would help get new fans, and that it would be an exceptional promotional piece that could be pulled from and used over and over again going forward. Gosh I wish I had just 5 minutes to sit down with A-ha and explain this idea to them. I think they would love it.
I like this idea a lot! 👌🏻A video montage of the group throughout the years will also connect old and young fans of a-ha! Brilliant! I hope somebody picks this up and makes it happen.
One of the most recognizable keyboard riffs of the 20th Century. It was the video that totally broke the mold and the artist who broke the mold and still has what it takes.
I was 9 year's old back then.. grew up in the best era for music! Now my children said I'm stuck in time coz listening to 80's songs like every bit second of my life! 💖
Flew from Utah to Paris to see the show on November 9th...no question they still have it! I was encouraged to see a number of young kids in the audience...nice that another generation enjoys such great talent.
My only regret is that radio stations didn’t play more of their many, many hits. Their timeless and hip classics would have propelled them into the history books as one of the biggest and most popular bands in the entire “world”. I don’t know and can’t comprehend why this never happened😞💙
Had the pleasure of being at the opening night of the tour in Dublin ,to open with Take on Me was a fantastic way to start a brilliant night ,they still have it .... All of them .
Totally impressive! Best singer ever! Not just because I’m a massive fan. The fact he can disguise his voice to sound like different types of singers is the most amazing thing ever and he still rocks it at 60 and he’s still sexy as heck! I just wish that the radio stations played more of their songs in the states! They kind of just forgot about them or it was poor marketing. :(
One-Eye You’re so absolutely right! He doesn’t do what older singers do. I just saw him and from the 2nd row where I was seated, he hit the high notes perfectly! He’s awesome!!! Love them forever until I croak!!!
It is unclear what he is really doing in those peak falsetto moments. In every critical performance moment, He crouches. He covers his mouth and the body language emotes. No 60-year-old guy can hit those notes. That is biology and we all know and accept that reality. I love that he is a showman and the act is compelling enough to delight us all. The soft ambience of the actual note and ghost reverb rising up make you believe still has it. And why not? We all love the hook. God bless.
BRAVOOO!!! INCREIBLE PRESENTACIÓN!! A--HA, UDS SIEMPRE FABULOSOS!!felicitaciones al dibujante con la animacion!! MORTEN, ERES LO MÁXIMO!!besos y abrazos!!
Quem era criança, adolescente ou mesmo adulto nos anos 1980 tem inúmeras lembranças dessa década maravilhosa, que ficou marcada, dentre outras coisas, pelas roupas e cabelos chamativos, boa música, filmes, novos aparelhos e costumes. A saudade é tanta que muitos dizem que os anos 80 jamais deveriam ter acabado.
You would all be proud. I went to Bingo at my local pub. Bingo caller said shout out your favorite song. Or band. I yelled aha take on me at the top of my lungs. Then I had to get up and perform. No karaoke ... I just got up. And I swear everyone knew the words We're talking away....I don't know what I am to say. Say it anyway......then the audience took over. Some of them said slurring away, instead of shying away. I got the feeling they did this before. Fun.

There's never an 80's album without this song. Those were the days..

If there ever was a song that takes me back to the 80'S it's this one
And a few great ones from Tears For Fears as well
The keyboard made this song and the 80's. We need more keyboard in 2020!
It's coming. All music does a cycle.
.....and Morten's voice. 💯

Actually it's synth but ok

Amazing sound,30+ years later!!Thank you,a-ha!!😍😍😍👍👍👍❤❤❤
I am sorry, but Mags is by far THE best looking, that guy is pure stunning. He seems to be like a fine wine, improved with age. 💜⭐💜
Visual music, video still one of the best of all time! 35 years later, they sound great!
What a great song. The video was/is so wonderful as well. Superb piece of art all around.
I was born in 87 i was too young back then for this song but i just love it
This song it's the treasure that my generation leaves to the new generations.
Fernando Augusto Filho absolutely!
Love this song since my school days in 1984❤❤❤
FABULOUS ! my childhood is still here :) thanks A-HA !

Here from Brazil, still listening and still in love with these guys. Listening to A-ha and travelling back in time. Wonderful.
Song starts at 3:37
3:49
Thank you. That helped.
Intro was toooo loooooooong as a result it was boring and pointless!!! BUT AHA IS STILL AWESOME!!!!
awesome thanks
Thanks.....
This is magic. Someone ACTUALLY managed to give me back 1985 !!!!!!
WOW FANTASTIC 😊
LOVE A-HA❤️ FOREVER..............
Epic! Wow he can still pull it off just like he rocked it back in my home era the 80s
Still going strong after all this time.

Absolutely timeless!! I wish I aged this well😱✌️
The quintessential 80's tune. Makes you nostalgic and I was 35 in '85.
Reminds me of the happiest days in my life
The beautiful eighties still sound lovely
Almost same like old times.... The best aha... 80's kids proud
hate getting old but still love music from the 80s

Sounds amazing live!!!
Fair play, they’ve made so many great songs and albums and they have to keep on belting out this smasher...and it was their first hit!
Under the top best 10 songs of the 80is.this song deserves the title Classic!!!
One of my favorite band during the 80’s until now 2019❤️❤️❤️
Am crazy for this song...still awesome Ahaaaa...this song bring back old memories...still amazing!!!😘😘😘
I will always love this song
Rewelacyjni! Po tylu latach, aż trudno uwierzyć!
Thank you. One of my favourite songs...
Fantastic! Some things just get better with age ! Loved the animated segment prior to the song as well, very film noire.
Chris griffin brought me here. Thank you!!!!!
Appreciate your well taken video of this at the expense of totally enjoying and savouring that moment.
brings back memories 80"s ... Morten still rocks!
Amazing voiceee. Amazing band. Amazing intro. Amazing draw.
Excellent live video, thanks for posting!! I Can hardly wait to see them next year!! ❤❤❤❤
I remember watching the music video on MTV in the 80s as a kid and being totally blown away. Never saw anything like it.
C'est et ça a toujours été mon clip préféré !

I'm so glad Morten isn't just doing the classic 'lazy old singer' thing of letting the audience sing every big note so he doesn't have to.
