I’ve said it for yrs, and I continue to say, you cannot have a serious conversation about the greatest rock singers of all time without Paul Carracks name being somewhere high on that list.
As long as I've lived, been playing guitar for 40 years, there are just people who are "better" than others. Paul has the talent. Paul has the chops. Z He may be one of the most "boring" guitar players in history, but I don't care... Paul is the king of yacht rock. He is exciting and that is rare and fkng awesome.
I’m 72 and played bass for over 50 years, I’ve just discovered you and your kick arse band. Absolutely love your vocals and the band is sensational. Congratulations. On a side note I want the bass guitar, beautiful.
A fantastic version of one of the best songs ever. I live overseas now but when it came out it was never off my stereo system in Harrogate. Seeing this recent version in Leeds was pretty special. Thanks for uploading Paul. Love your versions with EC....
Live in Leeds now but came from HG. Sadly missed it coming out as i wasnt born for another 20 years 😂 but ive got the Five A Side lp which is, fittingly, Ace
Good God what a fantastic group of musicians. And of course the incomparable voice and keyboard chops of Paul Carrack. In a sad era of watching our '70's rock Gods struggling so much with age, it's a pleasure seeing these guys sounding so great. Rock on!
I met Mr. Carrack years ago in Dallas for album promotion event. He showed up with a small keyboard and drum track. That’s when you know musical prowess! He rocked the place all by himself! Really impressive and personable gentleman. Praise Jesus for his giftedness.
Paul Carrack and this song "How Long" have stood the test of time without any doubt..He still sounds amazing and possibly better now. This band was nothing shy of magnificent. I don't think it's possible to not move your, or tap your foot when the beat starts.
The first time I heard this song, on the radio in 1974 during my high school years it instantly became one of my top ten favorite songs. Not often does the powerful message of a song match the melody of the song. Funny, almost 50 years later this song still resonates as one of the best ever! What an amazing band of talented musicians. Paul, please COME TO COLORADO!! I'll meet ye at the local Pub. Thank you Sir Knight. -Larry G Loveland, Colorado
I had much the same response in 1975 when this was the first song the band played at my Junior Prom. Fell in love with the song so I went out and bought the Ace Five a Side 8 Track, yes I said 8 Track and wore that dam thing out over the next couple of years. Paul Carrack is one of my favorite singers of all time. Love to meet the man.
Same years, no experience from it !! LoL. Well uhhh. Now. except that muthuf HUGGing mile deep GROOVE !!!! How long?.. not long enough keep singing it Paulie !!!
Similar I have loved this song for almost 50 years, when I was younger I used to play it on my Sony Walkman before rugby matches to get into the right zone
Always loved this song. Outstanding band players in this performance. Awesome drummers, Sax player, guitarists and also you Paul for making this song a hit. My disappointment with the performance here are them god damned blue spotlights! There are so many of them and they are so blinding, at times you cannot see the band players! Quite a put off to one of my favorite songs actually. Love you all guys.
Paul I just bought In The Living Years CD yesterday July 26, 2022. I graduated high school in 87 my Dad and Brother who just got out of the Navy both were killed in a head on collision. I lost my Mom who held it all together for so long 3 years ago. Talk about a song that will defy time. I was standing in line at the pharmacy and the song was playing in the store I just started crying. That is the song I needed. Noone could sing it better than you. It's flawless whether you sing it live, slow or like the original. I'm for one THANKFUL for that song of healing.
With all the sadness that you have had to endure I pray that this year has been better for you! I don’t have that CD yet, but on your recommendation I will buy it ,too. I’m sure it will be a great one as is all of his music!
Excellent. I saw PC playing this at a solo gig at The Mean Fiddler in Harlesden in 84 or 85. Nick Lowe was there, too, hanging around. Coincidentally I worked behind the bar at Willie Wilson's pub on Holland Park Road a year or so later.
Don't forget Tempted for Squeeze, and his live version of Hey You for Roger Waters and the Bleeding Heart Band at the wall in Berlin 1990. The man kills it nearly every time he steps to the microphone. He's also a songwriter and plays several instruments.
@@cattycorner8 I also just found out that the Linda Ronstadt hit "You're No Good" was done in 1964 by a band called The Swinging Blue Jeans. Love me some TH-cam.
@@frankcoffey LOL The Swinging Blue Jeans what a name for a band! 😆 almost sounds like a joke name for a group of session musicians. I learn something every day. It's a great song.
Love this longer version with all the great musicians. At first I thought, wait, now he has hair, because you have two great drummer, I hear one is your son. 💜🎵💜(Dawn)
Hy Paul. Your music is simple the Best. Come in to Porto Alegre, in Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. You have a lot of fans here. Everebody here want to listen and dancing your Music....Congratulations.....sorry by my poor english
I saw him maybe 30 years ago as an opening act for Belinda Carlisle at Darien Lake NY. She was at the top of her solo career as was Paul. Great show then and now. Got two acts for the price one!
Il y a dans la musique comme dans une grande fanille ceux qui ne parle pas trop très peu mais la route... Paul CArrack est l.ùn de ceux là, on a qu'a prendre conscience des nombreux succès musicaux qu'il a composés pour d'autres artistes... Je suis très heureux que les années 2000 nous le ramènent au devant de la scène !
I love this version - the sound kicks ass!
I’ve said it for yrs, and I continue to say, you cannot have a serious conversation about the greatest rock singers of all time without Paul Carracks name being somewhere high on that list.
You are correct.
Ditto.
As long as I've lived, been playing guitar for 40 years, there are just people who are "better" than others.
Paul has the talent.
Paul has the chops. Z
He may be one of the most "boring" guitar players in history, but I don't care...

That ladies and gentlemen is one of the greatest rock and roll singers ever. Rock on Paul
Andy staves such an underrated lead guitarist for Paul

God damn....Paul Carrack is just that freaking good. Velvet voice......still!!!!
The best of the best .peace and love to every one .
So excited! Going to see him in London on 10/24!
What fabulous intro to one of the best songs ever written. Paul Carrack is magnificent and so is this entire band!!
It's unbelievable that his voice is better and better and this is two years ago. He is the real one since the seventies.
I'am 65 now, I used to think he was cute in around 1975 I was 18 then. glad to see you are still rocking how long has this been goin on.
The sound quality is awesome
Combined with the talents and musical craftmanshift
What a treat 😊
Paul Carrack is a voice up there with the best and unique in ROCK
Love this song. Outstanding all these years later.
Every time
Awesome song back in ‘74 and still today! Thanks Paul Carrack for the great sounds… you still got it in 2022.🌺🌺🌺

Paul Carrack and this song
"How Long" have stood the test of time without any doubt..He still sounds amazing and possibly better now. This band was nothing shy of magnificent. I don't think it's possible to not move your, or tap your foot when the beat starts.
Ace, Squeeze, Mike and the Mechanics, and solo. PC is one of the greatest ever. Nothing beats a live show with a Wurlitzer and PC killin it.
A true G.O.A.T.
besides Paul & the band being so great, i gotta say that dude playing guitar just *opens this song up*...so much love to cats who can cook!
❤Outstanding musicians..& Paul's beautiful voice..❤👍
Doesn't get much better than this... 5 ⭐performances' by all.❤
One of my favorite songs. Great job Paul Carrack and Band.
Watch Pauls musician's , they are so good and can out play newbies! Of course their golden voice main voice is pure gold!
I'm 60 yo and this song makes me cry for joy. This song perfectly captures my lifetime.
50 years later this tune still has chops! Great band with great tune is always timeless!
Always a huge fan Paul. From the beginning!! Giving away my age!! Thank you for all the great music throughout the years.
Wonderful brass and a sax smooth this along. Excellent!
Awesome performance!
And the band is just killing!!!
You just fall in love with everyone in the band! They put their heart and soul into the best song ever!
Without question one of the all time great rock voices.
Man I don't hear music like this any more.............

I've always been a huge fan of Paul since the day this song was on a 45 record I bought at Woolworths.

Fantastic performance !
He has best pipes in the biz. He sounds like he’s 30…good lord.
Sounds as awesome today as it did back in the day!
Everything about this video is fantastic but the percussionists both make it a real standout!
Ace,Mike and The Mechanics,solo work,the man does it all
Don't forget Tempted for Squeeze, and his live version of Hey You for Roger Waters and the Bleeding Heart Band at the wall in Berlin 1990. The man kills it nearly every time he steps to the microphone. He's also a songwriter and plays several instruments.
@@ldolphin34 thanks for the info

Far out. All these years I had no idea Paul Carrack was the lead singer for ACE. What a great performance, very tight band.
I just found out myself, from a comment on the Squeeze song Tempted/ Mind is blown.
@@cattycorner8 I also just found out that the Linda Ronstadt hit "You're No Good" was done in 1964 by a band called The Swinging Blue Jeans. Love me some TH-cam.

What a band!
Great performance! Amazing sound! Love it! Thanks for sharing! Have a wonderful week!
