They were early on but once the keyboardist left and drummer they sounded different and not as good, they got away from the original sound. Even Rolands voice then sounds off.
Everyone was lip syncing around this time too. If you watch any of the old NKOTB or any of the big groups from around this time they almost never actually sang live.
Before 1994 everyone had to really sing, because if you didn't sing well live, you wouldn't be successful! I say until 1994 because it was around that time that voice correction programs were developed, one of the most famous being Autotune and Melodyne. With that, nowadays nobody almost sings for real anymore.
There is playback, the keyboard player actually misses his intro and doesn't start "playing" the piano part until a few seconds in. Roland's guitar part around 3:02 is also part of the playback, not sure if it was at the start of the song or not. Does bother me, but regardless they sound awesome live.
I wanted this song to be our wedding entrance song with the woman I was head over heels about. I envisioned that she would start down the aisle with the start of this song. I was never sure about what the lyrics were all about…all I knew at the time is that, to me, this was a great song about a guy head over heels about a gal. That was me. Unfortunately I was still in grad school in California and she was off to Spokane Washington for her first job after college. This was before cell phones, texting, e-mail and cheap air fares. The only way to communicate back then were expensive long distant telephone calls and hand written postal letters. Long distance relationships were pretty much impossible back then. We lost touch after she moved. Whenever I hear this song I think of her in a wedding dress walking down the aisle to me smiling her beautiful smile.
don't take it the wrong way, but the fault lies with feminism. she should have married you and stayed with you instead of going away to work for a corporation. imagine the kids and family lost due to her ambition to earn money. it's ok for some women, but not most like today, and so many women are unhappy. 2+2=4
They were along with Mr.Mister were one of the only bands during the 80's that replicated their studio sound in concert. I saw them in Detroit in October of 1985 and they became the standard bearer for live performances.
Tears for Fears and Mr Mister both played live to recorded instrument tracks.. there's a lot going on in those songs, had to either do that or have many more musicians on stage ; )
roland's voice is so fucking good. i am happy he decided to sing live because curt lipsynced everybody wants to rule the world which idk why because curt has a great voice live also.
I'm 26 but I know it deep in my bones that I should have been around in the 80's... what a great era with great music. P.S - I'm a metal head originally, but it doesn't matter. Good music is good music no matter what shape or form :)
I was born in 1967, I can't go back to the 80s but I can go back to those years and remember how happy I was thanks to music... Thanks to young people with powerful voices and great talent for composing we are the LUCKY generation to have enjoyed so much talent.❤️❤️❤️😎😎😎👌👌👌👌👏👏👏👏👏
My favorite singer when I was a little boy! Then I got into grunge & Layne Staley became my favorite singer! I also love Dolores O’Riordan. I like really unique voices I guess. 🎤
Layne Staley had such an incredible ability with his voice. He could really belt out notes and project with more power than most ppl realize. He could seamlessly go up and down with vocal intensity at will. Really unique talent
Staley is one of my favorites. The harmonics between him and Cantrell (also referred to as vocal melodies, what have you, etc) are one of a kind and once in lifetime.
Da até vontade de morrer de felicidade kkkkkkkkkk Que banda maravilhosa. Que voz , que energia , que alegria , cada músico perfeito em seu instrumento, cada detalhe . Tears for fears é coisa linda de se ver e ouvir . Eu os amo 🖤
at the time I was so young I didn't realize how well rounded musicians they are. The guitar, bass, and keys are fantastic. Of course the drummer is great too.
@@zxwolf6039 maybe not the best but they sound pretty fkn spot on. Even today. Years later. Tears for fears never got the love they deserved i feel. Sad world
My favourite song from Tears For Fears although I love everything they have recorded, this song just hits❤ Roland and Curt have two of the best voices, thank you boys😊x
They were playing this song in 1983, very similar arrangement and vocals - nobody noticed. Two years later it's a giant hit. One of the best bands of the 1980s who never got the props they deserved. Can't believe I listened to this song 40 years ago at my uni radio station, nobody realized how good they were - that changed in '85.
They could just play this song the whole concert 😆-it’s awesome! Jeez was 10 years young. I would almost give anything to go back to how things were in 1985.
Everyone in the comments are rightfully impressed by Orzabal's voice, but how about some props for Curt Smith, whose bass playing is so slick and on-point. It lends a great bottom to the song and he's killing it.
Actually credit should be given to Ian Stanley (keyboard player) as he co-wrote this song and a lot of their hits such as Shout, Everybody Wants To Rule The World etc
La meilleure période de leur carrière. J'aurai tellement aimer être présent à leur concert a cette époque . Leur 2 premiers albums sont pour moi de loin les meilleurs.
This was so superb!!!!! These guys need to be made immortal so that their talent will always be with us 🎉 And Rowlands voice has perfect pitch!!!!! When he hit the “Time flies” note at then end it sounded exactly the same in the official video for this song, which is studio recorded and he nailed it live!!!!! True talent!!!! A++++++
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 via the 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 until 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? Now, now, now, have you no ambitions? My mother and my brothers used to breathing clean 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 until 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 is my four leaf clover I'm on the line, one open mind This is my four leaf clover In my mind's eye One little boy, one little man Funny how time flies

it sounds just like the recording !!!
Still are great live to this day. Sure they've aged but we all do. None of us get out of this alive but it's what we do before our time comes.
@@greggers5988 It is the recording- they're playing to a backing track. Vocals are live though and sound great
Surement au Montreux Jazz Festival :)
I’m 19 rn but oh what I would give to go be able to see all these amazing 80’s artists in their prime
It was awesome ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was 14 when this CD came out and I got to see them...saw them in the 1990s too! Just incredible!!
Im 27 and me too what I would give to be able to get a taste of the 80s 70s.A world with no tik tok and youtubers. No phones
@@noerodriguez5102 you forgot no internet connection.
I miss the 80s!!
What a voice on this magnificent man
So unique. Love it

So powerful voices. The band has two voices.. so the proper distribution for singing many their songs..
Amen!
Everyone was lip syncing around this time too. If you watch any of the old NKOTB or any of the big groups from around this time they almost never actually sang live.
What a great synth solo. Epitomizes the 80's
Gives me chills every time
@@sooooper Me, too! I play it in my car over and over and over again with the volume turned WAY up! I actually pretend I’m in the band playing it! 😅
@@sooooper Just the first few notes of this song gives me chills every time, still. It was one of those songs back in the day for me.
Totally agreed
no autotune, no playback, just amazing voice....they dont make bands like that anymore
Well you can here playbacks though but they mostly sing live
they still do make bands like this, they just never get popular
@@ivanchernov3041 see Men I trust, Alvvays, Beach House, MGMT, etc. plenty of groups out now that took huge influence from TFF

That's because IT IS the recording lol
Roland's voice is so underrated
One of the best in the world from the 80s
Singing with conviction
And that’s what’s missing from almost all todays pop.
Speechless... It's hard not to miss your childhood when you grew up listening to this. On the last line I'm on the verge of tears.
*I wanted to be* _WITH YOU ALONE_
Godddd damn. I was born in the 90s but those first lyrics hit every time.
The lyrics really hit, do they not?

The intro, some keyboard notes still now makes my heart beat violently. Ghee…
If music creativity ceased tomorrow, these lads have created enough music for the world to live off.

Crazy how long ago that was , time flies, but music like this is forever.

Excellent! So fun to see Manny on the drums. As always, they sound amazing live!

Two geniuses and the rest of the band wasnt bad either. At least deserved to be in RnR HOF i think.

I'm gonna say this is a Yes...One of my fav Tears for fears songs .. its sexy and about love its a great live one
One of the best live bands ever ❤️

Eles são magníficos. Apaixonada desde is anos 80. A interpretação dele é gigante!
@@drizinhaebenanos 80 foi uma década magnífica na indústria musical, amo demais eles, tears for fears
my friend had the cassette tape and I listened to this in the 80s. hard to believe almost 40 years for the song
Just saw them yesterday in Austin, TX 7/17/2023 - still absolutely phenomenal!
Really slammed that "YEAH!" part to make sure everyone heard lmao
They're so fire bro it's overwhelming, I just learned this song was the other member. I just thought there was just one vocalist, LEGENDS.
Que voz!!
Just saw them in concert 2 day's ago they we're awesome I was just waiting for them to play this 80's classic hits ☺🙋🏻♀️🎧🎤🎼💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
I'm 45 years old and still listening to this song. I miss the 80s!
I got to see them live in 1989. They were truly amazing.
Roland, Tears For Fears banda maravilhosa da década de 1980. Amo essa música!
Omg this is basically the best live performance ever, I wish I was there.
The whole band sounds so good.
All of them were perfect! What a timeless contribution to the history of great music. Especially when live music had more integrity & purity..

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 via the 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 until 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?
Now, now, now, have you no ambitions?
My mother and my brothers used to breathing clean 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 until 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 is my four leaf clover
I'm on the line, one open mind
This is my four leaf clover
In my mind's eye
One little boy, one little man
Funny how time flies
I was born in 89 but my heart was born in this era ❤️
Great artist and poet
God, what a big song that was.
Eu tive um imenso prazer de ir ao show dessa incrível banda em 1990 aqui no Brasil no Wollywood Rock.
Wow how good are they live!!
Master-piece.
Absolutely amazing voices the eighties were without a doubt the best decade ❤
Obrigado Todo mundo odeia o Chris por me fazer ouvir essa obra 🤧💖

Voce canta muito!!!Amo suas músicas 👍🤝💯🎤🎸❤😍🧏♀️😘🇧🇷
Pure nostalgia ❤

Never get tired of listening to this song .............is it just me but doesn't the singer look like Allen in Two and a Half Men
Yes!!
I grew up going to concerts in the 70’s and half of the 80’s. Never got to see these guys.
I'm completely Head Over Heels with this song.
It's incredible such a musically complex track can be rendered perfectly live like this. I'm forever blown away by this song
