Color of Spring is an absolute and absolutely magnificent album. Some of the greatest artists are drawn to the beauty that emanates from things and their ephemeral aspect. Mark Hollis reminds us of this and has captured this fragility better than anyone with his powerful lyrics and haunting voice... Thank you for this moment...
The guitarist here in Montreux is called John Turnbull... great solos, Talk Talk basically consists of Mark Hollis, Paul Webb on bass, and Lee Harris on drums
Listen to the track, which begins after not seventeen but nineteen seconds of silence, the aptly named "The Colour of Spring." Accompanied only by a minimalist piano, Mark Hollis sings like an enlightened man: Soar the bridges that I burnt, then adds: before, in a whisper that requires the proof of the lyrics in the booklet to be sure you've understood correctly. And the same goes for the end, when he sings: One song among,then...us all, which we guess more than we hear. As if he were apologising for his exaltation. Thanks!
TOTALLY AWESOME, HE HAS AN INTERESTING VOICE!! BAND HAS ALOT OF DIFFERENT SOUNDS NICCCEE SOLO!! TALK TALK VERY UNIQUE, AWESOME SECOND SOLO!! THIS IS ROCK AND ROLL!! AWESOME REACTION RORY 💙 🔥THANK YOU FOR WHOMEVER REQUESTED THIS AWESOME REQUEST!! 🤯🩷🤘✌️🔥🔥🔥
I love Talk Talk! So glad you reacted to this Rory. My favourite song of theirs is “I Don’t Believe In You”. It’s totally different from the song you reacted to already called “I Believe in You”.
Great reaction! Yeah, this song is fantastic, but this very live performance just is magic! Hollis voice, all instrumentals, byt yeah the guitar is great in this one!
The intro in this live version is actually from another song called Chameleon Day from the same album as Living in Another World. The whole album is amazing. I’m so glad we have this video of them performing live as I never got the chance myself.
3 requests Rory. 'It's Getting Late In The Evening', 'Inheritance', and for something a touch more up-tempo, which is something they eventually dropped, in their search for the ultimate lesson in minimalism, 'Pictures Of Bernadette'. Thanks.
My favourite band of all time, so i'm thoroughly chuffed at your return. The really ground breaking stuff is contained within their last two albums. These are 'Spirit Of Eden' and 'Laughing Stock', music of an indescribable beauty that was simply impossible to perform live. If you decide to head there, your only choice is to play the songs, minus any visual distraction. I advise you to take the plunge, especially if you want to hear music that reduces Radiohead to a relatively normal pop band. Meanwhile, kudos for continuing on the road less taken! R.I.P Mark Hollis.
The only thing wrong with the 80's music is the idiots who haven't really listened to it. Mark Hollis had a fantastic voice. All on that stage are super musicians. I especially love the drummer, Lee Harris. He just kicks ass on that drum set and he's that animated on every song they did.

I know a lot of musicians that complain about 80s music not being great and this is always one of my go to bands.

I recommend Such a Shame and Give it Up

Raw Excellence, the first band that I became obsessed with, managed to get an American remix album which was epic
An amazing band!!!❤
Find the live 1984 version of "Hate" The drumming is outstanding and the energy is awesome.

Hi Rory, there are many great talk talk songs for you to discover, 2 that I would recommend are "after the flood" and "happiness is easy"
I can't imagine what he'll make of 'After The Flood'!

Talk Talk are astonishing live, but i prefer the studio version of this song as you're missing an incredible harmonica solo.
