I was there in the crowd at the Tube and we went to the pub over the road after the program. The Tears were there and they were very shy. They let their music do the talking...The Tube - what memories
Nick, there's a chap on TH-cam who has uploaded the entire collection of The Tube episodes in their entirety. I'm mentioning it in case you wanted to search for it to find the episode you attended.
I agree ... this is one of my all time favourite classic songs... love to come back to this vid now n then...reminds me of when times were so simple and uncomplicated! :)
This song is over the top! Roland’s vocal’s ..wow!! Those white old school sweaters..set the tone. RO set the standard for the 1980’s and you know what he is still standing!!
"Fear is such a vicious thing. It wraps me up in chains." This is probably my favorite non-single song from the Big Chair. They definitely did a great job of reproducing it live.
It is the most requested song from TFF fans :) as stated in an interview by Roland and Curt themselves , (glad they got back together by the way) this song has everything from the sax intro/ synth/ piano drums / bass/ then boom! Roland's voice!... classic song...
Tears for Fears was a huge part of the 80's and it's because music like this. Their music had feeling it had meaning that's just something that's lost in music today. We will never have music like we did in the 80's and I'm so glad I did get to live those great times where music meant something.
David Moyer was better on sax!! Check out this song on their spotify 30 years.. Phenomenal!!!...ironically their 2019 tour was in jeopardy but has since been resolved. I think Curt had some issues. Probably Curt been a diva😁😁😁😁... I think Roland has mellowed out a lot...😘😘
@@prettyyoungthingpyt5015 I like this guy better, Will Gregory (the guy from this video) is actually credited in the album version. I didn't know it was him until 2 days ago and I was shocked, because he's part of one of my favorite bands (really a duo) from the 2000s Goldfrapp.
@@Willymaze ...ah okk. Did you listen to this song on Spotify Landmark though? They are both good sax arrangements, but mannnn!!!! For me, David Moyer did something there. I like Will Gregory also though, just liked David Moyer a little better..😁😁
Roalnd is whole UK´s voice and music in the 80´s, specially in this gorgeus performance, what a way to deliver his soul through his voice....eternal respects for him.
I love Roland's singing too. He has a unique voice color. Thanks him for choosing a music, he has a subtle feeling for the sounds and their combinations. I always find something new! I will listen to his songs till I dead.
They say curt smith is lead singer I beg differ he absolutely sing some good vocals on songs but Roland is the lead singer and soul of the band I think there differently good group but Roland is the better vocalist
One day in 1985 When i was 10 year old, mi big brother came whit an album from a group called Tears fors fears in a tape... i listened the album in my walkman all the time Now... as a man 35 years later... father of two sons... how i mis you my death brother... i love you so much... funny how... time flyes
I'm compassioning with you so much... I lost my cousin, I loved him like my brother... we grew together... A piece of my own died, leaving only an empty space. I still miss and love him.
5:12 - the moment Roland remembers he's live on stage and not jamming in private. 😆 NO ONE sounds like TFF. That's one of the many things that makes them an awesome band. Curt's hair though. 😍
Душа у прекрасного, неповторимого Роланда гениальная, своим пением он затрагивает у слушателей все струнки души, чувств, все становятся после его музыки, пения намного чище и добрее, он творит с людьми чудеса! ЭТО ГЕНИАЛЬНО И ВСЕГДА БУДЕТ ТРОГАТЬ ДУШИ, ЧУВСТВА И СЕРДЦА! ОН ПОЁТ САМЫМ ЛУЧШИМ В МИРЕ СЕРДЦЕМ! ПРЕКЛАНЯЮСЬ ПЕРЕД ЕГО ТАЛАНТОМ, СЕРДЦЕМ И ДУШОЙ! ГОЛОС НЕОБЫКНОВЕННЫЙ!
These guys knew what songwriting is about - their music, their lyrics EVOKE, a time a mood, a place, and everything they do is dramatic. I miss Tears For Fears.
that sax at the end flashes me back to 10 - 11 yrs old, laying in my bed in the dark listening and rewinding this song on my tape, listening to my walkman! this was heavy shit back then! still is! all of their stuff has aged very well. one of the bands that are in a class by themselves from the 80's, for sure.
My brother Terry recorded this when it was on in the mid Eighties. The programme was called 'The Tube'....he still has the VHS tape which works fine. I still love to watch this, its an excellent live performance, brilliant brilliant song......loads of nostalgic feelings of being a teenager come back when I watch this.
his voice omg i cant his voice are amazing like i wanna cry about how good and chill his voice is omg Roland i love your voice so so so much i listen to this song month and month LOVE IT
Vraiment cette chanson is a masterpiece saxo qui se marie avec la voix de Roland de surcroît la guitare... Ça swingue vraiment Roland et Curt sont complémentaires. Ce groupe est indubitablement l'un des meilleurs de tous les temps. 🇬🇧🥁🎸🏴✌
The band uniform was white sweaters, and black trousers that night. I don't know who the sax player is, but damn!! Incredible!! Love this song. Every song on "Songs From The Big Chair" is pure gold!! Great song for the Labor Day weekend too!
@@Aesop101 I liked David Moyer better. The sax is just incredible in this song, coupled with the musical stylings of the one and only Roland Orzabal...
@@kawavulcan8411 The Live Spotify version is good but I concur that this is the best live version, the sax is out of this world and Roland's voice is great, Roland had to low a little his voice on the Spotify concert.
Qué canción espectacular de este hombre que no deja de sorprenderme y seducirme. TFF es atemporal. La forma que , desde siempre, mezcló todos los diferentes instrumentos... pocas , muy pocas bandas han sido capaces de hacer eso . Son obras primas de la música. Roland, sin ninguna duda su identidad, tipo vocal es inconfundible, un verdadero regalo de Dios, es extraordinaria, tiene alcances de barítono y sus agudos tienen una densidad más lírica y por eso no suena irritante, o sea, tiene los elementos claves para un timbre vocal admirable y cautivante. TFF fue, es y siempre será una de las mejores bandas de todos los tiempos. How not to love you Roland!!?? No me canso de escucharte Roland, no me canso de escuchar TFF. Saludos afectuosos desde Chile-Brasil.
Wow, if I could go back in time, I would go right back to this. I was so one of those kids dancing and feeling their music. So grateful I got to see them play live back then, truly they where an incredible live show...what a time it was to be a teenager then...
One of their best!!! - I love both of these guys, they have brought so much pleasure into my life!! I hope they live forever & still do music & in heaven!!!!!!!
When you had to have talent....be able to play live ..and have strong vocals.... just brilliant...and TFF are still as good today...are still doing great live gigs and new albums
Toda la decada de los 80s. Esta representada por esta enorme cancion, cada sonido, cada tecla, cada nota musical te llama a reflexionar, te dice y te grita la perfecciòn de un todo y nada, por lo tanto Es la hora de trabajar!!
Fantastic vocals, songwriting & musicianship = "Facts" (as a fellow musician) I can see & hear the effort they put-in, to make it Sound Great Live. oNe LovE from NYC

This is music on a level not everybody is able to comprehend.
I love this song, its one of my fabourites ever, but don't be pretentious. You either like it or you don't. "Comprehend" doesn't come into it.
I agree!
The best band that came out in the 80s. Pure quality rock. A classic for all times.
This is go organic. No huge stage. No stadium tour. Real intimate and raw, yet so perfectly Tears For Fears beautiful

And the girl who plays the keyboards or piano, what a beauty, so classy and elegant.

Exact opposite, that pony tail is horrible, those thick sweaters are even more horrible. Eeeew. 🤮

There’s something so triumphant about this band’s music
This song is absolute genius in lyrics and tune. Incredible. I used to listen to this every day at work on my Sony Walkman.

Really amazing!!!.

Yes to me what set TFF apart from others of that era was vocals lyrics and deep soul emotion in the music
Are you kidding me! One of their best songs ever, and the sax!!!

I miss Tears For Fears.
It just occurred to me that almost 40 years later, I’m going to see this amazing band perform live this summer. 🤯
Where are you going to see them?
Tears for Fears is 100% the best of the 80's & the rest of the band In the 80's... peace
odie tan amen!
This Is A Music Masterpiece In Every Single Way. 👏
Such an epic tune!! The saxophonist is a maestro and doesn't even need any sheet music ❣️
Most rock sax players can jam without music and improvise with ease.
that sax at the end flashes me back to 10 - 11 yrs old, laying in my bed in the dark listening and rewinding this song on my tape, listening to my walkman! this was heavy shit back then! still is! all of their stuff has aged very well. one of the bands that are in a class by themselves from the 80's, for sure.
Well said. Your comment has also aged well.
ROLAND’S VOICE IS SO ANGELIC OMG
what a voice !!!! roland is tears for fears !!
The cream chunky knitwear was out in force that day !
sounds even better live!!! that saxophone!! smooth like buttah.
Ck C definitely like buttah
So SO true~
3 years ago this video didn't have any dislikes. Now its showing 35 hates!
very underrated song..
And very underrated band!!!
Underrated by who? Its on a hit album and very well regarded
Roland has an amazing voice, so powerful. Love this song, thanks for posting.
"This *is* the working hour". The *is* is so powerful.
Such a beautiful song - and I tend to like more "rockier" stuff. Roland Orzabal is very talented singer/songwriter
One of the most obscure and underrated songs of all time.
It's neither obscure not underrated . It was on a hit album and highly regarded.
Gorgeous shots of Curt dancing and playing bass!!!!
Not just this song but every song big beginning to end from the Tears for fears album Songs from the big chair were just hits
My brother Terry recorded this when it was on in the mid Eighties. The programme was called 'The Tube'....he still has the VHS tape which works fine. I still love to watch this, its an excellent live performance, brilliant brilliant song......loads of nostalgic feelings of being a teenager come back when I watch this.
How great! Did they play only this song?
amazing talent can actually exist in this world
💕💕My favorite Tears for Fears song💕💕
working hour is the song that probably is most responsible for long term love of TFF.
Breathtaking song. Signifies what Tears For Fears as a unit can produce. One of the all time great band of any genre yet also sorely underappreciated
his voice omg i cant his voice are amazing like i wanna cry about how good and chill his voice is omg Roland i love your voice so so so much i listen to this song month and month LOVE IT

The quick, silent "thanks a lot" at the end is pretty amusing. Some calm, composed, and humble.
I struggle to comprehend how they manage to sound this good live. It's incredible, the song is incredible, THEY are incredible!
