audio engineer deserves an award
Yeah..no douth about it...its perfect
100% … this whole set sounds incredible.
Sounds a 10 to me.
The sound engineering is incredible. I know they sound great but wow SO clean.
I thought exactly the same. So many live recordings are ruined because the audio is dirty.
dude i know! as a tech i feel major respect for this team. and this is like 8yo lol. at exactly 2.58 you can see a bit of the FOH
True
Singing and playing that bassline at the same time is no small feat.
Jed Smith absolutely correct
because melodies/rhythms does not correspond? Just asking. My guess.
@@mikelo303 Yeah, when the rhythm is different, it's tricky to sing and play different things. It's a matter of practice though, like the patting your head/rubbing your stomach thing.
@@alexperaza9475 What about playing the piano. Often pianists play 2 different compositions simultaniously.
McCartney style
They are SO underrated. They sound amazing and this song gives me major feels.
The emotions I feel when listening to this song give me chills. I never want the song to be over. There are no words to express how thrilling their music is.
“ you could hear a pin drop!”
I think they were far from overrated. They were megastars in their day. I remember them packing very large venues. I saw them in at Three Rivers Stadium.
Tears for Fears made the 80's one of the best eras of music.
That mic sound quality. It feels like 80's. So awesome
When a band plays live and it sounds damn near like the studio version. 🔥👌🏼
I have to say, I used to hate this band, I was a metal head in the 80s but now I'm almost 50 and I have picked up a guitar and am a music hobbyist and a have a totally different understanding now ... just thought I should put that out there.
Best of luck to you
@Edgardus what?
@Edgardus 51 is gen x. You must be a farkin millennial haha. Or gen Z
Good for you...better late than never👍 Welcome to the club.
I don't play but I'm also a early 90s metal head and just recently realized the how much I didn't appreciate these guys as a kid but now I'm obsessed
One of the definitive band of the 80s. Still one of the best. This song is a staple on my playlist over the years.
They sound FANTASTIC!! Love Tears for Fears, have passed it on to my girls!! Now, this is real music!! Thanks Roland and Curt, you guys still have it!!!!!
Right On Julie! My girls were raised on this music because of me listening to it and dancing. They learned how to dance from their momma! hahahaha! And honey, we can dance! I grew up during the "Saturday Night Fever" era with the BeeGees and disco. I used to go to all the jr. high and high school dances all the time! My girls know how to do the "Hustle!" YaY!
LuLu Rodriguez That's AWESOME!!
How do they hit those notes at their age? Impressive!
Ar Con They were only 53 in 2014, it's still possible
Auto tune, you can hear it.
This is live! No auto tune!
Ar Con so old age makes you forget their own songs?
@@Armz316 there is a little autotune on this IMO - just because it was recorded live doesn't mean it isn't heavily polished
This is almost instep with the original version!
They knocked it right out of the park!
they use the original track "behind" the live performance, which is why it sounds so in synch

@@lippypongstockings8356 Wrong. 4 years and you still have not contributed to YT?
@@gpdude22 Do you see a keyboard player anywhere? 'Cause I don't. To me it sounds like the keys come from the original recording, but the rest is live.
@@progmeup yeah he’s in the back left corner. If you spent more time looking at the video instead of running your mouth about something you don’t know anything about it would really help you out.
Soo much talent even after all these years....
And such a timeless song...
killer bassline
God knows how this song takes me back to being 19 again and being in love for the first time. Just magical to know that the 1980's were the best for music. Love UK bands.
These songs came out when I was in college in the early 1980s. Every time I hear their music I'm transported back to those days. I see where I was and who I was with like it was yesterday, in my mind's eye. Thanks, Roland and Curt, for the indelible memories.
2018 and I'm still waiting for Roland to sing "time flies" at the end
2019 and still waiting
2020... still waiting
You can truly understands why he doesnt say it, because, for good or for bad, time really flies and now he's older than at the end of the official video.
@@UsedFender lol thats funny
2020 and i'm still waiting too. Oh! and the Broken reprise!
Almost like listening to CD...what an amazing performance !
+jahwangful I'm just shocked at how good this is.
Sounds great live over 30 years on. Maintaining the integrity of their vocal ability these years later is pretty impressive.
Tears For Fears are one of my all-time favorite bands. Saw them live in 1990 and it was the best concert I've ever been to.
i'm still waiting for the "time flies"
+Son Gohan ain'tit-funnyhow...TIM'E--FLY'Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss...
And the instrumental bit. Why wasn't it done at the ending? It always feels that something missing.
Lol
legend says he's still waiting
🤣he,s waiting for 40th anniversary to finish
Watching this during lockdown and so lifted by it. What an incredible and faithful performance of a fantastic song. ‘Classic’ is a word bandied around a lot - but this earns it, right? What a job that drummer does - just nails the original part without adding anything flashier, because that’s all it needs. Same wondrous and minimal fills, just everything good.
The whole thing is an absolute masterclass. :)
Amazing. It’s like being in the studio for a rehearsal. They sing in person, just as the original cut.
I hope the guys in the band are able to see this comment....
Don't ever stop creating music.... Almost 40 years of just incredible music and you guys still sound just like the 80s.... This is a trip through time.
Have been a fan of this song for 30+ years. Amazing live performance, I never fully appreciated how talented these guys are.
Roland!!! You age like fine wine! Still the most handsome man I’ll ever lay my eyes on. Damn 😍😍😍😍😍
Roland's voice still strong as ever!
So crazy how good they sound, I honestly wish people my age would listen to this music instead of the basic commercialized sounds of celebrities that gain their fame through twitter and rivalry.
Agree 100%. I remember sitting back listening to songs made 25 years before when I was 15 and just appreciating some of the uniqueness and brilliance. Rarely do I hear modern songs show this which sucks, but I believe once we get out of this zeitgeist where mixing boards and auto-tuned voices ruin true creativity, music will shine again. Hoping it comes soon though!
The sad part is that in the 80's they were not really give their due respect as artists.
Well said Emily, its a song with a special magic regardless of era
So much said in 5 lines! Exactly how I feel
They do sound great!
A voz desse Orzabal é fenomenal
I Loved these guys in the eighties for sure , still do. My mom loved them also. We connected and watch these videos together over and over MTV was on at my house all the time. She's gone now almost two years. Every time I hear these guys I think of her and myself watching Tears for Fears videos
martybgood martybgood What great memories to have.
I love this band so much... totally some of the best music ever written and performed...
I wanted to be with you alone
And talk about the weather
But traditions I can trace against the child in your face
Won't escape my attention
You keep your distance with a system of touch
And gentle persuasion
I'm lost in admiration, could I need you this much?
Oh, you're wasting my time
You're just, just, just wasting time
Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out till I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart
Don't, don't, don't throw it away
Throw it away
Throw it away
I made a fire and watching it burn
Thought of your future
With one foot in the past, now, just how long will it last?
No, no, no, have you no ambition?
My mother and my brothers used to breathe in clean in air
And dreaming I'm a doctor
It's hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand
Oh, I feel so
Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out till I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart
Don't, don't, don't throw it away
And this my four-leaf clover
I'm on the line, one open mind
This is my four-leaf clover
in my head, my mind's eye
(La, la, la, la, la) one little boy, wandering by
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la) funny how
Time flies
Thank you Ricardo!
🙏🏼
One little boy, one little man
@@stephenpemberton9943 I've always wondered about that line. i hope the song isn't about what I think it is.
Merci à vous pour les paroles. Thanks you very much.
I had a break up with a girl back in 2002, and I listened to this song over and over.
It’s hard to overstate how great this performance is.
Wow, the depth of this..percussion is INSANE. I always knew this music but wasn't familiar with the band: this is the magic of TH-cam..I watched the one guy play/sing with his lovely young daughter (who was also playing guitar)...and then the other guy is singing lead on this song.. and he's backing him up..I love when several people can sing lead in a band...this was super good. The way this is presented..I felt like I knew the band..twas FAMILY...that's magical.
A wonderful tribute to the love affair of my life. That feeling of new love, that feeling of unrequited love, that questioning feeling, that ponderous feeling and overall acceptance of one's status quo. Love the song.
I’m 41 so was too young when they came out, but to me they are the band of the 80s
I was in my 20's when they surfaced and... they were absolutely the top band of the 1980's = no other band came close for the years 1983- 1986.
Its stunning that they can reproduce this sound so many years later. Brilliant.
This song brings back a vivid memory of one particular night in my life that was a changing point. These boys still have it after many years
Now then kids this is what a great band sounds like !!!! Love it fellas 💥
So Great...I Was 15 Years Old When This Song Was On Top, and I´m Still Listening!!!!!
I always come back to this song and in particular, this performance. It is a good example of how a well orchestrated song comes together into a groove.
Still sounds amazing! Over 30 years later
'Studio quality' live performance! I wish more artists had this level of care.
What an amazing live performance!!! I am blown away by how good these guys keep sounding after all these years! Feel so lucky to have grown during the 80's listening to these jewels! Greetings from Costa Rica!
The vocals on this are absolutely perfect!
Good music when alone or with a group, so lucky we've grown up listening with their music... These songs spoke the language of our souls and our generation.👍🇵🇭✌️
One of my favorites in the 80's. Brings back memories. 😭
the musicianship in this composition (and performance) is astounding. every instrument including the vocals has the spotlight.
I am sooo jealous of those 50 lucky fans who got to see this! Missed TFF in their heyday but have seen them 3 times in recent years. They are still amazing!!!!
heard this song on donnie darko and cant stop listening
I've heard it a lot of the radio throughout my life but when I heard it on Donnie Darko I just kept listening to it
BurningChipotleCornhole same
I just randomly stumbled on this song while scrolling on TH-cam
Me too about 10 years ago, now Tears for Fears are one of my favourite bands and I've seen them live.
Hahahaha same
They sound amazing! Songs from The Big Chair is a huge chunk of my youth. I wore that cassette out - kept me company to and from school on my long commute, listened to it at home, would fall asleep to it, too and so many years later, any song I hear from that album instantly transports me to that time in my life. 💕
talent, craftsmanship, humanity, elegance. All in one package. Bless you guys!
Just close your eyes for a second while your listening to this... they’re still so tight!!!
Brings me back to the 80s and these guys still have itI was into different music then I have huge respect for these guys now keep it up you sound great
Walang kupas grabe parehas pa din ang tunog
you wouldn't believe its live it sounds so good ...I have seen them live a few times its always been that good...Amazing job boys
Spotify - you NAILED IT with this series ! thank you for this !
Amazing loved them 30 years ago and still love them!
One of the best music ever
Awesome sound quality!
Amazing! Such chemistry after all these years. One of my favorite songs and I’m glad Roland hit the “yeah” after that first keyboard riff👍🏼
One of my all time favorite songs. It will never age. It will live forever.
Simply amazing! One of my favorite 80's songs and done so beautifully! I'm stunned
THIS IS CLASSIC !!!! IT brought tears to our eyes listening to them.......... They dont make songs like these anymore. WE LOVE YOU WE WILL KEEP WATCHING YOUR CONCERTS FOREVER !
Absolutely stellar performance. As the years have gone by, I’ve become a huge Tears For Fears fan and this recording was truly amazing. Thanks so much for that.
These guys are still great! They sound really good.
Why this is not yet viewed by the millions is saddening. So glad i grew up in 70s, 80s, 90s music. This is pure nostalgia.
Meanwhile, music nowadays with swearing and women twerking are viewed in the millions, wtf 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ Society's on a downhill.
one of fav songs ever from them thank you beautiful song
Love these guys ❤ Saw them in concert last year (2022) on their Tipping Point tour. Just got tickets to see them again in June 2023. So happy they’re touring and writing new music.
Always loved Tears For Fears. Rolands voice is perfect for what they do. I saw him and Kurt back in 79 when they were in a Ska band called 'Graduate' They were great even then!
Their quality and skill is the product of fifty years of hard work and it shows in their performances and quality. It shows the path forward is hard work and toil. Sing, play write, form clay, sew artistry and skill only comes from hard work.
Even though this song was not the biggest or best known song off the album, this is my favorite song from this album and I will play it on repeat even to this day. Thank you.
So tight musically, truly great band. Love those songs
Such a fantastic song...wonderful to see it live after all these years...
2021 - pandemic, divisiveness.... we need more Tears for Fears to bring us closer.
oh, listen to 'in a big country' by big country, its also magic :)
Still immense. I really do hope they'll do another proper tour next year
Then and now. They are just amazing. My all time favorite duo :)
I was waiting for the 'time flies". The whole audience was.
I was, too.
Me too!
Love it. Love them. Just pure love!
I think this is quite a time huh?
Like it feels surreal, it's like when he going to say "Time Flies" but... Time had already fled... Just wow
Time Flies as the Universe expands, fabulous music for all time.
Every time I hear this I’m transported back to high school. Masterpiece.
I was 6 or 7 when this song came out. It was haunting back then. Still hits me today. Now I understand what it means.
This is GREATNESS - a most fabulous arrangement and stunning, staccato ENERGY!
Tiiiiiiime Fliiiees!!! 💯
They still sound great. Cruised a lot of miles listening to Songs From The Big Chair! Thanks for the memories!! ❤
I never appreciated this song or this band when I was a teen in the 80's. LOVE hearing it now. Well done.
Superb👏👏👏👏i feel I am back to my young age! This sing still good to hear now 2022! My favorite band till now! It doesn’t age!
MY FAVORITE TUNE FROM THEM, GREATEST MEMORIES !!!!
one of the best band, one of the best song and one of the absolutely best performance and live recording ever. thank you.
The band that inspired me during my early 80s....n still counting for more thanks a lot...tff longlive🤟🤟
they sound soooooo good
That sounded INCREDIBLE!!!
It's always a treat listening to one of my fave tracks from the album Songs From The Big Chair... but seeing Curt singing back vocals while doing those crazy walking bass lines? It's absolutely amazing. :)
A voz do Roland é linda e Curt com seu baixo dá um show!!!! Amoooo.TFF pra sempre 💚💚💚
Inmortal Music ,The Best live of this song !!
I can't get over how amazing they sound!!!
I'm just impressed cause I'm so young and people of my age does not know Tears for Fears, that's kinda sad
donnie Darko brought me here ... a masterpiece ... presented me with another ... tears ... the best songs. a hug from fans in Brazil
Incredibles voices...through all these years.
