This song is an eternal golden hit, I still love it after all these years, I'm almost 54 yo but my ears are 17 years old ; I miss your 80's haircut Nik !
I'm 66 now but I missed a lot of eighties music due to working and poor health but caught up later and so glad I did. I loved Nick's singles and his appearance at Live Aid. ☮️☮️👍👍😁😁🎸🎸🏴🏴🏴🏴
Ok so I'm gonna say this, as my daughter tells me, i'm an ageing '80s child..But seriously, How f..kin good does this guy still sound? The talent in the '80s, singer song writers who still sound as good today as they did then...legend :) Thanks for posting this, put a huge smile on my face
Music coming form a genius , he was way ahead of his time. I've been a Nik fan since 1984 , been there ever since, The best music in the world you'll never find in the commercial charts today , unlike 30 + years ago . But just search for it , and you'll find it. The songs that really touches your heart is out there.
SUCH a great song, and SO SO well done! You can TELL the band is INTO it, and so is the audience. This is THE BEST version of this song on the internet!
ONCE A YEAR I HAVE A NIK KERSHAW DAY…YOUR HARMONIES AND MELODIES LIFT MY HEART AND MAKE THE DAY BRIGHTER. THANK YOU JESUS CHRIST FOR NIK KERSHAWS MUSIC.
This is hands down the best live-version of this tune! Nik sounds awesome as always, BUT the band NAILS it! Even the trombone player nails the backing vocals. Awesome!
What a wonderful take on his own tune. And that Norwegian house band for whatever that show is are such impressive, all-around musicians - thank you SO much for posting this!
The early 80's was just the best time,great artists,great songs,great singers,they were difficult songs to sing ,shows how talented they all were,rock on the 80's .
What an excellent performance!!! I always knew there was something special to Nik's writing when I was listening to his hits during the 80's. A great musician and songwriter who has got me feeling all nostalgic for my teens again.
OMG! So so good to see Nik in action after so long and he's still got it. His music beats a lot of the recent rubbish from the last few years. Thanks you for posting!!
How did he ever get a drummer like Vinnie Colaiuta back in the 80's to play with him? It is like having Bill gate or Steve Job selling computers at a retail store. That certainly raised his reputation in the sheer musical level. I used to think he was nothing but a "one-hit wonder" artist. Now I listen very carefully of his music. Thanx for posting.
Hands down, one of my favorite all time videos of a live show, a great song to begin with, and then a hugely talented backing band. The icing and cherry on top of this cake is the surprise of just an awesome horn section, that easily elevates the music/song and video to an 11 as a highly enjoyable audio experience for the ears and mind.
You are so right. I was living in a rat infested apartment when this song came out and it helped pull me thru. Fantastic sound and he looks sincere at his message. I will spread it on my UA-cam and Facebook account.
I'm not normally a fan of live versions of songs that I really like, but i this case, I'll make an exception. They did an absolutely outstanding job of making the song sound like the studio version, and the band was really on top of its game. Oh, and Kershaw did pretty well too (LOL just kidding; he was outstanding!).
This song is the song that got me through some very rough times in my life..... I felt like somebody finally understood my pain. Nik, I love you! When will you tour the US. We need you here dude.
Turns out all of the musicians are Norwegians: Keyboard: Jon-Willy Rydningen Bass: Tom Erik Antonsen Trumpet: Frank Brodahl Drums: Per Hillestad Sax: Fredrik Øie Jensen Trombone: Torbjørn Sunde Guitar: Jens Thoresen
Quality is permanent. Thank you once again Nik for the joy you have brought to so many people for so many years. 'So Quiet' is still my favourite, closely followed by 'You Might'.
The set design is very beautiful and is perfect for the song ... his voice and singing remains as amazing as it was many years ago (cry tears of joy its true) .. that 80s vibe is wonderful throughout ..
I use to rock my grandchild to sleep with this song. Now she s older she sings along with the song !!!! Never get tired of this song and especially this live performance. He s incredible! Wish he would come to U. S
1 mill views! Thanks guys!!👏💜

66 right there with ya. One of the best songs...ever
Almost 2023 and I can't leave this video alone!
This song stands the test of time. Sheer quality.
One of the real gems to come out of the 80s. So tasteful and well crafted. And superb live.
ベース、ギター、ドラム、声、全てが良くて癒される!今のクソみたいな音楽氷河期に、この曲に出会えて良かった。今の時代に昔の歌に勝る歌は殆ど無いだろう。今の時代の音楽は一過性。
昔の歌は聞く人の心を踊らせる魅力が沢山ある!プロモーションビデオのニックも最高です😮
OMG Nick Kereshaw looking as old as I am and still sounding so good.....keep rocking Nick,,,there are a still a few of us 80's fans out there
I loved Nik in the 80s and his voice is exactly the same... he truly rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still love this song in 2020
I like it too, especially now more than ever :(
I am with you my friend still love i am 55

One of the greatest most under-rated singer/songwriter of all time !

Keep coming back to this video for even more smiles. :-)
Possibly my favourite song ever?
I hear ya. It is a perfect tune! And I LOVE his mohawk!!!
Glad to know you're straight lol cheers!
It's in my top five, for sure.
Nik Kershaw did the original recording in 1984.
I met my wife in a pub when this song was sounded
Such a great song and he performed it perfectly live.
NIK.. MADE A LIVING OFF OF ONE SONG...AMAZING 😊
That's really all it takes, bro. Just have to write that ONE hit song and you CAN make a career out of it, if you're smart about it.
This is a real musician. I always loved this beautiful song with magic trumpets instrumental. Wouldnt it be good....forever song
Fantastic song from the eighties. Such a talented guy still going strong.
Music coming form a genius , he was way ahead of his time.

How refreshing to see how good Nik looks and that he can still sing!
I love how Norway dig this classic. It is so much better this time around.
Norway is a cool country.
Can't get enough of this song, even after so many years. Also, the band really nails it. Timeless music.
Man what a song and performance. This was one of my favorite songs, just a masterpiece of emotion and insight.
SUCH a great song, and SO SO well done! You can TELL the band is INTO it, and so is the audience. This is THE BEST version of this song on the internet!
Very much inclined to agree. It's really superb, sounds even better than the original recording.
I was around 10, when this song came out on radio. Life was, ah, great ..... 😁
me too
Still a wonderful song, even better performed than in 80's with a mature voice!
80's song?...song still kicks ass in 2017!!
Who am I to disagree ? :-)
I most certainly do subscribe to this point of view :-)
@@fufufoofoo still in 2019
Bloody awesome to see the bands I heard when I was 9 me being a 82 child,s till playing their classic songs in 2022👍💪🇦🇺
ONCE A YEAR I HAVE A NIK KERSHAW DAY…YOUR HARMONIES AND MELODIES LIFT MY HEART AND MAKE THE DAY BRIGHTER. THANK YOU JESUS CHRIST FOR NIK KERSHAWS MUSIC.
Wes Curry, tell me the time the day and the place and I'm there ( Does it matter if I'm not religious?)
@@carrhartt2424 hey i have a Nick day too you should come to it. i am not as religious as the other guy. i mean a little but not as bad
Dont be sad you think jesus christ made that music lol
I totally get it and understand. Tired of living in this world and I'm tired of fighting even I know I should. I don't want to be here no more.
How are you doing? I think the same as you, hope you feel a bit better at least
I thought this song was amazing in the 80s. This kicks even more ass. Live horns and handclaps? What a great, sympathetic band!
This really is a superb live version, I keep watching it. The horns are great.
Fantastic song, great performance. The backing brass was a surprise hit.
Really brilliant live performance. Excellent band backing up Nik….👍
Quite a solid performance. I'm impressed. Not even a Nick Kershaw fan. Just here because I liked this song when I was young.
Exactly the same as me. Well said.
You like this song now that you're old/older now, too. ;-)
Same from GTA Vice CITY STORIES 😃
@@luvyesmusici4886 O.k. I do. Still a bit in denial.
This is hands down the best live-version of this tune! Nik sounds awesome as always, BUT the band NAILS it! Even the trombone player nails the backing vocals. Awesome!
Brilliant. Wouldn't it be good to be able to sing with this band! I love the bass line - what a cool bunch of guys.
He's even better than in the 80's. Love this song & just listened to the earlier version. :) Those 80's had the best music!!
The one thing nik is he is a great lyricist ,if you read the lyrics to the songs you appreciate just how clever he is with words.Another 80s icon.
This is a very underrated song. Always liked it.
Nik totally nailed this live and the backing band totally nailed it too... I hate the word ‘awesome’ but this was a truly Awesome performance.
Awesome! One of my favorites and this powerformance was fab.
PURE JOY !
Yes, the 80's was really great. Good times, good music and better people ...
Nik hasn't missed a beat in all these years. Awesome.
What a wonderful take on his own tune. And that Norwegian house band for whatever that show is are such impressive, all-around musicians - thank you SO much for posting this!
This song is absolutely a rock masterpiece gem of our time..
The early 80's was just the best time,great artists,great songs,great singers,they were difficult songs to sing ,shows how talented they all were,rock on the 80's .
Me encanta esta canción y los 80 fueron lo máximo y no se comparan con la música actual es mi humilde opinión
Verdad
This version and his performance from Live Aid are my two favorites of this song! Simply Awesome!!
This is one of my all time favorite songs! It still makes me smile after all these years! This is also a top notch live performance!!
loved this when i was a kid,still do at 63 ,wonderfull
What an excellent performance!!! I always knew there was something special to Nik's writing when I was listening to his hits during the 80's. A great musician and songwriter who has got me feeling all nostalgic for my teens again.
I completely agree...There are no words to describe how prolific a writer Nik is and was. The Mozart of Pop/Rock.
OMG! So so good to see Nik in action after so long and he's still got it. His music beats a lot of the recent rubbish from the last few years. Thanks you for posting!!

Nik, one of the best of the 80's, still have it!
I really like this song even when i was just 5 years old
when it became a hit.
Damn, I've always LOVED this song. So good to see Nik still performing - he's bloody excellent live!
StonyRC me too, he's a incredible guitarist and songwriter. Cheers
Hemorrhagically good!
where is that growling bass???
Love Nik Kershaw... what a legend!👌👌👌
One of my favorite songs from the 80's.
This is my favorite version of the song, his voice is better here better then when he was younger!!
mmm, this is definitely the best version, great peformance by all involved
Hands down, one of my favorite all time videos of a live show, a great song to begin with, and then a hugely talented backing band.

That brass section! Yeah baby❤️
One of the best songs of the eighties.All time favourite!
Los 80, me encanta esta versión, viajo en el tiempo, a Dios J. Gracias, paso 63 años.
It's rare when the live version lives up to, if not surpasses the studio cut... this is one of those times.
God Bless NIK!!!! It's wouldn't be the 80's without NIK!!!!
He still sounds as fresh as back in the day, and it's still a tune to kill for. Marvellous!
You are so right. I was living in a rat infested apartment when this song came out and it helped pull me thru. Fantastic sound and he looks sincere at his message. I will spread it on my UA-cam and Facebook account.
Many years have gone by and I'm still loving this song.
nick kershaw is extremely talented. His voice and band sound amazing, especially playing live in 2008.
I'm not normally a fan of live versions of songs that I really like, but i this case, I'll make an exception. They did an absolutely outstanding job of making the song sound like the studio version, and the band was really on top of its game.
Oh, and Kershaw did pretty well too (LOL just kidding; he was outstanding!).
After 30 years not many singers can sound so close to the original studio version. Very good... you still great Nik
Still sounds great!!!...more than 30 years have passed...and is still a great song!!!!!!!!!!!!
THX for the video!!!
13 Years in the future, this still rocks.
I don't wanna be here no more!!! 80` passed up long time ago and this place are not the same any more
This song is the song that got me through some very rough times in my life..... I felt like somebody finally understood my pain. Nik, I love you! When will you tour the US. We need you here dude.
He definetly GOT it! As an real Nik's fan I dare to say that he's better now than then.. what a sound and vocal form!
The best
He still sounds as good as ever, Keep going Nik you're a legend
A little masterpiece....... full of the atmophera of a time of magic and happyness... 🌟🎉🌟🎉🌟🎉🌟🎉
I love this live performance, it's wat I imagined
This has aged like a fine wine.
Turns out all of the musicians are Norwegians:
Keyboard: Jon-Willy Rydningen
Bass: Tom Erik Antonsen
Trumpet: Frank Brodahl
Drums: Per Hillestad
Sax: Fredrik Øie Jensen
Trombone: Torbjørn Sunde
Guitar: Jens Thoresen
A pop songwriting masterpiece like this lasts forever....December 2021- beyond!
i got chills , great sound... one of my favorite songs ever!!! better in live
it's always fun to see 80's artists today (or, at least, fairly recently) and how different they look. i've always loved this song.
As good as it gets for a live performance from a past performer coming back. Loved it!
Here in 2023 its still an amazing song and im 60 yrs old but my mind is 23 lol
Quality is permanent. Thank you once again Nik for the joy you have brought to so many people for so many years. 'So Quiet' is still my favourite, closely followed by 'You Might'.
The Riddle!❤
When the horn section in the middle sets in it always gives me goosebumps
2:44 ❤️
I'm saying goodbye to a friend I can no longer be with....I sent her this.
Just love this song.. I yearn for the 80s... What great years before the net and mobile phone scurge ...
What a performance!!... so smooth and clear.
rok 1983Sylwester i bawiłam się przy tej muzyce z przyszłym mężem.ech wspomnienia.wspmnienia 💞💗
Best live performance I have heard. Better and cooler than 20 years ago.
after all that time, and still have a wonderful voice. true artist!
Great song which I listen to regularly. Nik Kershaw is superb.
Great song and the lyrics will make the song live on forever.
The set design is very beautiful and is perfect for the song ... his voice and singing remains as amazing as it was many years ago (cry tears of joy its true) .. that 80s vibe is wonderful throughout ..

Absolute monster of a tune. Takes me all the way back to childhood every time.
Timeless. One of the best songs of the era. Still doin it.
This song from Nick Kershaw is one of my all time favorites!!! lyrics+sounding just great!!!.
