Knight$, supporting China Crisis in St Albans. I knew nothing about this artist before the show, but was suitably impressed by their stage presence and more importantly, their music. A wonderful discovery!

Superb ! These guys have performed since the early 80's and are still on top form ! Cheers Lads !
Jeden z najbardziej ulubionych zespołów ery new romantic. Dobrze że grają do tej pory. Pozdrawiam wszystkich zwolenników zespołu. Marek.
It was abrilliant evening! 👌
@@Lisa-fj7uq Oh yes! It was excellent.
Soooo upset I missed this tour because I was ill. Did you record Don Quixote? Thanks for these vids anyway, it's the closest I'll get...
His voice is still spot on! And a brilliant song, takes me right back to the greatest year... 84-85...
@@KitCurranRadioShow So true!
I had a ticket for London but had gastroentiritis so couldn't go. I hope he does this kind of thing again, he's been going all folky recently from what I've heard... but this is what I want to hear from him!
I hear he doesn't play the bigger hit Close But No Cigar in his current set, but I do love this one. Is TD keen on Bruce Hornsby, then? I miss the strings on this, but also I don't if you see what I mean... makes it very different.
Pure class
@@leehaslam5871 Sure is
I'm gonna put Neil Arthur on my bucket list. Because he seems such a nice guy!!!.
@@robertcotgrave5920 He really is a nice guy, plus he makes great music .
'Cook Da Books' were better! - :)
Great! :)
🙏
🎉🎉🎉
@@eddyhiso1130 🙏
Beautiful and one of my all time favorite songs. Martin sounds great as do the players making a wonderful rendition of an ABC classic from 1985.
@@ianzukswert3185 Totally agree!
It was great!❤
I thought that they were great! 😁
@@Lisa-fj7uq I did too, a lovely surprise.
SO funny!
@@Lisa-fj7uq Gary is hilarious.
They were sublime! So talented, so funny! ♥
@@Lisa-fj7uq Simply stunning.
This album is the best thing Blancmange never did !
I know jealousy is childish but you, in the crowd, you lucky ******s!
@@futurescalling I fully understand your sentiment. It was amazing to be there. I was very lucky and I hope there are more shows in the future.
@@raindrums7496 I mean it respectfully ... it's just that I love that album
@futurescalling I love the album also, truly amazing. Your comment came across as respectful, taking the time to write. I appreciate you taking the time to write.
@@raindrums7496 Cheers
Awesome to see the group perform this song live, well done!
@@Rivmic It was a wonderful evening and this song was a highlight. 🙏
I love this song 80s😢🎉😂❤😮😅😊🎉😂❤😮
@@ChristyBadolato Me too, a classic!!!
It's unbelievable what awesome, innovative music Blancmange made back then!
Dedicada a andy flecher
I bought the 7" single in the eighties. Still play it today aged 60. Has kept me young.
WTF...IS THIS ? L0L
Do you have any more recordings from this show?
@@raymondrussell6090 Yes I do.
Best show ive seen in years. Man , what a genius band that gives it pure heart. Brilliant. Better than ever. Looking forward to the new album.
@@McKissocks It was quite special.
Thanks so much for sharing this, one of my fave Nik Kershaw songs Wasn't able to get tickets 😢😀💖
@@Mistysmudge1 You are very welcome, thank you 🙏 So sorry you couldn't get a ticket. 😭💔
Boss la
Class loved these guys since the 80s, thank you
@@garystewart2263 Thank you 🙏
Nice bit of real violin playing there by the synth player! I was surprised by the sudden emergence of that. I could tell that was genuinely live violin playing, as someone who played the violin 3 hours a day every day for 23 years!
Great song 😎👍
Epic
That bassline is so Parliament P.Funk like 👍
@@TelexToTexel Thank Mark King for the creation!
@@raindrums7496 Did King create the bass riff ? He is credited with Bass/Guest on The Riddle album, but gets no writing credits for Easy ?
@@TelexToTexel I presume he had a hand in creating it though Nik wrote the song, but it's his playing on the record which is what created that magic.
Ein wunderschönes Lied... aus meiner Jugendzeit...
Yes, it's wonderful. ❤
One of my favorite Nik's song.. It's the first live version I ever listened..❤
Great to see this being done live. I thought the keyboard part would be through an arpeggiator but it looked like it was played by hand. Not easy.
It was great to see and hear this track live. Nik chose some excellent musicians to pull off songs like this. The bass player caught my eye, but the keyboard player was outstanding too.
I think the keyboards player played the main notes but not all, it's really very fast! Furthermore, I have always wondered how the percussion part during the first 5 seconds of the song was constructed. It's not the drummer who plays them. I think it was originally a drum machine with reverb?
Brilliant gig... 🙂
@@andyjordanmusic3129 It certainly was 👍😊
Wowee. Sounds amazing.
@@DavidsYouTubing Thank you 🙏
We stumbled on you yesterday. THANK YOU for every video you've posted. So many shows I would have been at if I lived where you live. :)
@@hrizonsdebbie wow! Such a wonderful comment to leave me. It's very much appreciated. I enjoy filming the clips I post which are a lovely reminder for me for the concerts I go to. It's an added bonus that other people can enjoy them too. I appreciate you taking the time to write, thank you 🙏
@@raindrums7496 We must be roughly the same age and grew up with the same music. Thanks for your kind service in going to all of these shows! :) Who's next? :)
@hrizonsdebbie You could be right. I am 58, so heavy on the 80's . Next for me is China Crisis Next month.
@@raindrums7496 I'm 52 but grew up in America and had MTV from day 1. So I was heavily into everybody on MTV in those early years, which was mostly British new wave, post punk, etc. Happy concert-going!
@@hrizonsdebbie I'm sure you have been able to see a few decent shows yourself over the years. As a youngster, plenty more years for plenty more. Thank you 🙏 the same for you.
Superb, ageless Gary playing his best material!
Just wonderfull.
@@oreilly1237878 Thank you 🙏

You're the best thank's do muuuuuch for your brilliant recording of my hero ❤
@vercetti59 It's my pleasure. So happy that you like the video. Thank you for your lovely comment. 🙏❤️
What a lovely evening!
The best!
Absolutely brilliant 👏 👌
@@garyjohnson5948 🙏 Thank you
I was there, just out of shot, to the left, by the speakers. I heard the vocals perfectly. However, I saw them at Patterns in Brighton a couple of years ago and heard no vocals at all. But speaking to other people after the gig, they heard the vocals fine that night. I wonder if it's something to do with their specific set-up that there seem to be 'dead spots' for vocals at Melt Banana gigs..? I see a lot of live music and this is the only band I've ever experienced this with. Still, great to see them again!
@@NitrousMcBread It was a wonderful performance by the band. My first time ever seeing them and was so impressed. Someone standing next to me stepped back because he didn't hear the vocals and said afterwards that further back it was fine. With hindsight I wish I stood further back but as I started filming which in the end was the whole show, I stayed where I was. I think their mix is unique where the vocals are buried by the sheer volume of the music. They are totally unique and look forward to more. I'm hoping to find a way of treating the sound on my video to bring out the vocal. It's a shame because visually it looked very good. Thanks for your comment, much appreciated.
Jesus......murder!!!!
