There’s no way to describe how cool New Wave music was when it first broke. It really was a new British wave, and it was awesome. Gen X was a great Gen
This is such a great live version of this iconic song. Midge's love of performing is infectious, and he's still got an amazing voice. Very talented man.
Steve was with me and my husband when we got engaged in 1988, he used to be frequent visitor to the club I worked in the welsh valleys, this is a fantastic version, I love it!!!! we are not worthy!!!
That's right, but Fade to Gray is automatically linked to Steve whether Midge or Boy George if they perform Fade to Grey today it is in memory for Steve
In a word!!!! Genius!!!! Thank you so much Midge for sharing your musical magic!! Love you!! The man behind not only being behind the music, but Live Aid with the beautiful Geldolf!! Your family must be the proudest ever!!! Thank you for sharing the Lovely Steve Strange and Rusty, oh boy the 80's was the best! I love my gaming too and when I played Metal Gear Solid wow you were the the Man!!! The Man that Sold The World!!! Best cover ever. You definitely did Bowie justice you should be the proudest DAD ever I wish you all the love in the World and my teenage kids love you too! Keep your talent forever young!!!
for those not sure or like this version, see chris payne, visage fade to grey explained. type that in youtube, it tells you how the song and tune was born ok
In my opinion this version is better than original. Midge Ure is the author of this song and his interpretation is with more soul. Of course is only my tought😀😀😀
Love the powerful synth sounds but have to disagree with you on the vocal, Steve Strange’s was way cooler, god rest him. Fantastic song, this whole Visage album was brilliant. Midge Ure did indeed write some great tunes.
Lyrics: One man on a lonely platform One case sitting by his side Two eyes staring cold and silent Shows fear as he turns to hide Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Feel the rain like an English summer Hear the notes from a distant song Stepping out from a back shop poster Wishing life wouldn't be so long (Devenir gris) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) (Devenir gris) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) (Devenir gris) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) (Devenir gris) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Even though Midge Ure is a great singer and one of the songwriters for this song, he's missing that glamorous decadence of Steve Strange. Steve Strange is not a good singer, but he got that irreplaceable New Romantic aura, to my humble opinion
Don't miss Midge Ure performing 'Vienna' by Ultravox in full, Visage classics and other greatest hits. 2019 uk . Will be Brill Night Out. Check out Breath , Best Album ever by Midge Ure ..
Midge was in Visage for a while, so this is really fitting. It’s not easy to say, but he makes this amazing song sound even better. He also played with Thin Lizzy briefly when they kicked out Gary Moore.
I visit their concert at the 11th december in Ravensburg/germany. (meet & greet). I am looking forward to it. Yeah The König & Meyer KeyboardStands are products from Germany.
There are not many LPs out there where every Song is just Amazing.. Mr. Ure and UVox collegues though.. have quite a few of those.. There is an imense Amount of musical energy here❤️🛶🎯💯🥊🖖
Un homme dans une gare isolée Une valise a ses cotés Des yeux fixes et froids Montre de la peur lorsqu'il Se tourne pour se cacher Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Sent la pluie comme un été Anglais Entends les notes d'une chanson lointaine Sortant de derriere d'un poster Espérant que la vie ne fut aussi longue
I never understood why it was 'ses côtés' plural ? how many sides can you put a case down next to ? ' 'son côté' would have rhymed just as well - native French speakers ? Perhaps this means a case at either side ? Aha ! maybe I have just resolved a 40 year puzzle !
fointain of youth and good remembrances.. ( missing the French Girl.. (which YOU (Midge Ure) suggested) and.. the whole Concert was for me a demostration that music is still alive and can transmit deep feelings. The Mix does not translate well on my mobile device.. but live... OMG...Thaaank You!

For sure the '80s was the peak in the music industry. So many brilliant bands, songs, performances. I am glad to live at that time.
😅😅😅😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Me too!
One of the most simple, effective and game changing compositions in the history of music. Thanks to Chris, Billy and Midge!
What a great song, I love it! I put it into my "Shellshocked Radio - Recommendations" List: th-cam.com/video/zKzjKOXuxzA/w-d-xo.html Very well done!
I thought it was only midge on this as he wrote it and played on the original song
@@cathalsweeney6 It was Billy and Chris in the first place and Midge in the second.
@@roninheart_music ok .thanks 👍
No worries, cheers!@@cathalsweeney6
Midge Ure is one of those unique vocalists where his Scottish accent clearly comes out when he sings
As opposed to Colin Hay, who sounds Aussie, but is actually Scot.
Steve was with me and my husband when we got engaged in 1988, he used to be frequent visitor to the club I worked in the welsh valleys, this is a fantastic version, I love it!!!! we are not worthy!!!
Why oh why does this just keep getting better and better?
That is real music from the 80s
What a superb vocal from Midge, his voice just seems to get better as he gets older. Really enjoyed this and thanks for posting.
hä? die hat doch garkein Volumen mehr
Check out his Orchestrated album to hear how his already fantastic voice has aged like the finest wine
🌹🌹🌹👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🦾🦾🦾
R.I.P Steve we love and miss you Thank you Midge
That's right, but Fade to Gray is automatically linked to Steve
whether Midge or Boy George if they perform Fade to Grey today

for Steve
New wave 80❤️
Holy shit!! What a mindblowing version of a fabulous song. Great to see young people performing with him and doing such a great job. Very talented.
Absolute masterpiece timeless,midge really gives it some soul brilliant vibes✌️
Muy buen directo de ese gran tema que es Fade to Grey, me transporta a mi juventud en los '80. Gracias, Midge (y gracias, Steve).
One of the best songs ever

Is this the most iconic New Romantic song??!! Love it!!!!
MIDGE, I just absolutely LOVE your singing & performance in this live version of "Fade to Grey." Wish I could've been there, ...ROCK ON!☺️🎙️
I Iove this music of Mr Midge Ure, Visage and Ultravox
One of those iconic songs that I grew up with and have always loved since day one. Just superb...
Midge is a bloody legend. Love this and love Vienna.
What a great song, I love it! I put it into my "Shellshocked Radio - Recommendations" List: th-cam.com/video/zKzjKOXuxzA/w-d-xo.html Very well done!

Thank you Mr Ure. 👏 Musicians make the best people 🤘🏴✌️🇦🇺
Arguably,the best set of notes,put in to a melody.Played by actual artists/musicians,ever.
This is amazing. The sound is sublime...What a performance..
Woah….still love it! My gosh, those memories!!!!
for those not sure or like this version, see chris payne, visage fade to grey explained. type that in youtube, it tells you how the song and tune was born ok
Bloomin marvellous - RIP Steve, I still treasure all your old vinyl. Top work there Mr Ure - a great way to remember the track
Это потрясающе! Покойся с миром Стив Стрендж, но этот шедевр написал Midge Ure! 80 годы - "Золотой век" прекрасной, свободной и вечной музыки!
😂
Perfect transformation of an oldish song into present time, thank you very much to Midge and the bunch 🤗🥰😘👍🏻🖖🏼!
What a great song, I love it! I put it into my "Shellshocked Radio - Recommendations" List: th-cam.com/video/zKzjKOXuxzA/w-d-xo.html Very well done!
Midge Ure amazing voice . . love it love it . .!!
Joyous. Thanks Midge.
Steve Strange ,Du bist zu früh von uns gegangen aber in unseren Herzen wirst Du ewig weiter Leben !
Genau
Considering Midge wrote this wonderful music it is only fitting he sing, sing it in his glorious method. R.I.P Steve Strange.
I think Chris Payne wrote more of the music.
He may have written the lyrics, but the musical backbone of the song was written by Chris Payne. th-cam.com/video/AmF_jeokUX8/w-d-xo.html
Midge Ure ist der einzigste der den Titel sowas von toll und perfekt live performt 👍
Ultravox and Visage favorite all time . Just perfect one ! Thanks . Greetings from Chicagoland !
Ok, I REALLY need to see this performed live now. Fantastic.
Wuauau ❤no lo puedo creer!! No pensé en volver alguna vez a "visage" me encanto🎉🎉un abrazo grande para todos desde chile ❤
Like turning back time from 2024 to the 80s without a DeLorean. Absolutely incredible..
Awesome version. Thank you Mr Ure 🙏 ✌️🤘🇦🇺
Itself after more than 40 years my favorite tune....and it will go on .....
Am I the only one that is thinking, "Midge Ure and Ultravox does "Fade To Grey""? Well done. Takes me WAY back! Thank you.
He wrote the song…..
Excellent! Thank's all of you.
Fantastic!
MIDGE URE.....one of the BEST Songwriter, Singer Producer.....GENIUS!!!! ...like Graham Day....:)
My favorite Midge Ure song .................. greetings of Perú..
Midge Ure , uno de los genios de la música del siglo XX.
In my opinion this version is better than original. Midge Ure is the author of this song and his interpretation is with more soul. Of course is only my tought😀😀😀
I feel the same!!
Amazing live 😊
Can't wait for the tour
Totally agree with you there.
And that's some compliment to Midge !!!
Love the powerful synth sounds but have to disagree with you on the vocal, Steve Strange’s was way cooler, god rest him. Fantastic song, this whole Visage album was brilliant. Midge Ure did indeed write some great tunes.
This version is great!
I remember the Ultravox! The music of my youth! Most like Dancing With Tears In My Eyes 1984 !
i love how this man can perfome such a sad and still look like the happies man in the world
The use of the word "awesome" is used too often but this is truly Awesome!
Well done , Midge. Hero. We miss you Steve
Brillaint .yrs ago i fancied midge same time as gary numan
He's still got a fantastic voice after all these years - what a cracking performance. Tribute to Mr Strange aswell.
Steve Strange had NOTHING to do with this. The song originated with Chris Payne, back in Numan days, and was then added to and improved by Midge etc.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FANTASTIC !!!!!!!!!!!
I must be getting old.
I remember when we could see bands like.
See bands like what?
Lyrics:
One man on a lonely platform
One case sitting by his side
Two eyes staring cold and silent
Shows fear as he turns to hide
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Feel the rain like an English summer
Hear the notes from a distant song
Stepping out from a back shop poster
Wishing life wouldn't be so long
(Devenir gris)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
(Devenir gris)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
(Devenir gris)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
(Devenir gris)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Master Piece !!! Thank You MU !!!
in memorium of Steve Strange RIP my good man
Even though Midge Ure is a great singer and one of the songwriters for this song, he's missing that glamorous decadence of Steve Strange. Steve Strange is not a good singer, but he got that irreplaceable New Romantic aura, to my humble opinion
You R right. This is like the first version of Midge and Chris. After one yrs Midge and Strange reproposed the classical version.
@@alessandroventuri3666 Thank you for the info for such an immortal song.
If you listen to the vocals on the original, all (or most) of Steve's bits are backed with a more in-tune voice with a Scottish accent.. hmm..
True ! Midge Ure is very good but something is missing... the darkness and weird atmosphere even Strange had a limited talent, he got the best vibe
@@ericprzyswa2423 Yes bro, that darkness and weird atmosphere is such a part of the song, though I like Midge Ure as a great musician and frontman.
The most sexiest song of the 80’s ❤️
Bought a ticket today, plays at KB in Malmoe 13 oct 2022!!!!!!!
Don't miss Midge Ure performing 'Vienna' by Ultravox in full, Visage classics and other greatest hits. 2019 uk . Will be Brill Night Out. Check out Breath , Best Album ever by Midge Ure ..
Booked👍
スティーヴが亡くなっても、ミッジがスティーヴをトリビュートしてる感が溢れてます。
良い時代に最高のメンバーで最高の作品を残してくれてありがとう。
そして現代にセルフカバーしてくれるミッジにも感謝します。
Visage+Midge Ure= Música atemporal.
Questa canzone negli anni 80 era una figata assoluta
I saw this live last week at my bar in Denver. Soiled Dove Underground.
Су Ка как же это аху ен но❤ 2023...Стив был бы рад 😢
Legends never die shine in heaven you always shined on earth our hearts forever diamonds are forever xxx
Fantastic 👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️
This was like the first version of Chris and Ure. After one yr Strange with Ure made the melody we know better.
ULTRA-AWESOME!!! 👌😎🖤
Midge was in Visage for a while, so this is really fitting. It’s not easy to say, but he makes this amazing song sound even better. He also played with Thin Lizzy briefly when they kicked out Gary Moore.
Thank Midge and Band, but still miss Steve RIP...
Excelente tema.....gran tributo a Steve Strange (Visage) por Midge Ure(Ultravox)
Amo muito essa música e midge
Sounds great but it’s not the same without the french parts imo
100% correct Hugo.Very remiss of the poor mans John Foxx.
I’m with you on that one Hugo
Rusty Egan's girlfriend of the time, who was Belgian, sang that.
Wow amazing 👏 👏 👏 I'm sure Steve Strange would approve of this ❤
Love Poland Big Fun
Genious All the best from Stockholm Sweden !!
I visit their concert at the 11th december in Ravensburg/germany. (meet & greet).
I am looking forward to it. Yeah
The König & Meyer KeyboardStands are products from Germany.
IN MEMORY OF THE ONE AND ONLY STEVE STRANGE
Great singer 💪👍
So great.
Only new wave ❤️ after 80 music is at end 🙁
There are not many LPs out there where every Song is just Amazing.. Mr. Ure and UVox collegues though.. have quite a few of those.. There is an imense Amount of musical energy here❤️🛶🎯💯🥊🖖
Midge ure gracias gracias grandisimo por favor un imno,,love
I'm 56 years old and I've only just learned that Midge Ure was part of Visage. WELL OIL BEEF HOOKED (say it fast to yourself).
Шикарно!
Brilliant 😅😅😅😅😊
Love to hear this performed in France so the audience could fill it out.
I love Ultravox but i love Steve strange singing this.
Un homme dans une gare isolée
Une valise a ses cotés
Des yeux fixes et froids
Montre de la peur lorsqu'il
Se tourne pour se cacher
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Sent la pluie comme un été Anglais Entends les notes d'une chanson lointaine Sortant de derriere d'un poster Espérant que la vie ne fut aussi longue
I never understood why it was 'ses côtés' plural ? how many sides can you put a case down next to ? ' 'son côté' would have rhymed just as well - native French speakers ? Perhaps this means a case at either side ? Aha ! maybe I have just resolved a 40 year puzzle !
Holy crap batman....!!! That was utterly brilliant
Sublime souvenir 1980
We fade to grey..............
Ich hoff die Frau kommt gleich noch ... denn Sie ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil in diesem Stück ...wie ich finde 🤘🏻
fointain of youth and good remembrances.. ( missing the French Girl.. (which YOU (Midge Ure) suggested) and.. the whole Concert was for me a demostration that music is still alive and can transmit deep feelings. The Mix does not translate well on my mobile device.. but live... OMG...Thaaank You!
Fantastic👍👍👍👍
