    Absolutely amazing gig from Nik. Lost count of how many times I have watched this; still gives me goose bumps. I saw him in 1985, still waiting to get a chance to see him again once this Pandemic situation is over. ...in the meantime, the best therapy musically anyone could wish for. Takes me back to many pleasant years of old. ...

      the Germany tour last year was great, I've been to one gig which was my first concert ever :D I wish I could've seen a young Nik performing but it always amazes me how good the guy is nowadays 😁 let's hope for some gigs after the pandemic and more live/acoustic videos in the meantime 🙃

      IMO, the 2012 concert at Shepherd's Bush Empire was better. Atmoshpere and energy of the audience was way higher. Audiences seem to be half asleep here, and it affects the performance.

    Never seen or heard Nik live yet. Was curious about his career and landed on the video. He's aged very well. His voice is still great. He sings very clear, I can easily follow all lyrics. And his guitar playing is quite nice as well. Mid 80s happy memories.

    Cheers for this Stephanie. It's a real shame though to see Nik still using Bowie and The Killers within his set-list... Been doing this since 2016! I find it very strange him having a 'Cover' for an Encore. It does bother me that Nik says "we've run out of hits" considering the sheer amount of discography he beholds. Would love to see more obscure tracks like Cowboys & Indians and Can't Get Arrested, which im glad he features more...
    But come on NIK, we want more of stuff like: 'James Cagney, Faces, Life Goes On, One Step Ahead, Save The Whale, Know How

    • @thekershfan
      @thekershfan  5 років тому +2

      You're right. I'm a bit disappointed, the setlist is nearly the same than from last year's tour in Germany. He could've also used the occasion of 35 years "Wouldn't It Be Good" as 30 years "The Works".
      In addition to that, it doesn't make sense to play songs, although he knows that nobody in the room will know it. Doesn't seem pretty confident.
      To be honest, my personal highlight would be "Nobody Knows", but other (different!) tunes from the 80s would be fine, as well

    I've been a fan of Nik Kershaw going back to the Human Racing album but I have to say "The Sky's the Limit" is hands down my favorite of his songs.

    Coming after me
    And after him there's someone better
    And after him there's me
    Well, he'll offer you a cigarette
    He'll offer you a light
    Oh but he hasn't finished with you yet

    Oh let's go racing now
    Open arms and open purses
    Open season's here
    Well, they fill your head
    With clever verses
    And then they disappear
    Silent vows in secret places
    They'll get you somehow
    'Cause you never win
    With the human races
    So who's the loser now?

      if there aren't any other bigger Nik fans around, I'm always the only one to cheer when he announces Cowboys & Indians 🥲 I think in this case it's a combination of them being German (most of them don't even know that he did something after The Riddle) and that the tickets were given out for free to the listeners of the radio station. the audience usually is more excited when it's a room full of people who paid money to see this man

    @max__p1765 5 років тому

    I always wondered where the road turns on the wrong track for him. He was an fantastic song writer at a young age, his lyrics often weren´t by no means easy going and quite nonsense as some song of this decade -ok, apart from "The Riddle", where the stories goes, he wrote the song but had no lyrics only filling words for rehearsels- but his record company wanted a new single hit from him so badly, so they released it before Nik could thought of usefull lyrics. But after The Riddle-Album and "When a heart beats" his sucess went down - but when he wrote "The One and Only" he was No.1 again - and this song was so vintage Nik. And when you listen of guys like Boy George or Paul Young these days - he still has got "his voice" which aparts him from all the rest.
