@@elmosexwhistle I would say the original is more in B flat major with most pitches in F 👍. Still you are correct....they have definitely changed the chording a bit downward to accommodate the singer most likely towards D pitching.
@@chrisnauta2467 There's some modulation going on between the verse and the chorus, but what ever key you want to say they're playing it in, this performance is a minor 3rd below the original recording.
Although there will never be music like the 80's and it can never be replicated, we love all of you for making our youth what it was. We are still young and living. We see and hear you in our hearts! We are the everlasting generation!❤👍🤟
Oh mate.... Summer 87/88 ...this one brings back the fondest of memories !!! I still picture myself riding my BMX, late summer breeze gently ruffling my hair, not my mullet I'm now shameful to say... free as a bird, not a care in the world, music in my head phones and just gazing that endless sky glowing with the most beautiful shades of blue and pink. I loved that moment and this song just makes it all happen again everytime. Priceless, like many of your songs. Thanks guys, Top, song! And I love sharing your songs with my daughter when we hit the road, south of France.
Song was the brain child of John Oates (Hall and Oates) is my understanding. He was down in Australia working with Iva when they created the song. It’s a truly awesome tune.
Pure genius, nothing sounds that anymore. The album MAN OF COLOURS still a classic. Mid 80s was such a good time for bands . STILL 1 OF MY FAVOURITE SONGS 🎵 😊❤
Amazing song and amazing band ... I grew up in Cuba listening this great band .. i built a huge antenna to get radio stations from Miami .. Ice House is in my favorite bands forever ..
I saw this band live in the eighties when they toured with journey. Electric blue was my favorite song and I could not wait to hear it. But much to my dismay I had to use the restroom and after waiting in the long line as soon as I got my chance go to the bathroom this song started playing!!😭 I think that was the quickest trip to a bathroom I ever made!
Esta echo en pibe segui a si dios te bendiga buenos recuerdos bien 80s te sigo desde los 80s ajala siga asi con esta fuesa nunca con mis 44 años no voy s cambiar sos lo maximo
I'm 49. I think I can honestly say this is the greatest song I've ever heard in my life. It destroyed me when I was an adolescent kid and it still resonates all these years later.
WOW! Great Performance and Fantastically PSYCHADELIC, out of "Electric Blue Filaments:" intertwining Current WIRES of Electricity's Background! So commendable! I'm from 625 Probasco Street, Cincinnati, Ohio.
I've loved Icehouse since I first heard Hey Little Girl, I was a lot younger but they still give me chills, one of the best, and most underrated bands of the 80's...check out their back catalogue
This song is evergreen - loved it from the moment i heard it in the 80's - the man of colours album was a masterpiece. Rock on Icehouse.You have fans in places you will never comprehend - best wishes from distant India.
Happens the same to me, reminds me of my times in the 80s in Argentina when the aussie rock wave arrived form the other end of the Southern Hemisphere, same happened with Crowded House
A Brilliant Song!!!,! ManyThanx From Costa Mesa CA!!!! My fav from this band. I wish he would sing louder like the original. Perfect voice for this song.
"Man Of Colours" was an absolutely outstanding album. I still have it on cassette tape from when it was first released. I played it over and over in 1987 and to this day, and the tape still plays! Icehouse is just as good now as they were in the 80s, and Iva's voice here is as great as on the tape - an amazing band.
@@annechoyrocks Thanks for replying and it's nice to know I'm not alone in having Icehouse on audio cassette! These days I have a lot of music on my Spotify playlists so I can enjoy it on my mobile, typically with headphones on because my fellow INTJ family member prefers not to hear any music playing at all loudly! However, I have all my old audio cassettes of music by bands like Icehouse and they still work whether it's Icehouse or the Top Gun soundtrack, for example! I was a teenager during the 80s so enjoy a lot of music from that time period as well as more modern singers and bands. I wish I had been able to see them perform live back in the 80s, in particular! I used to ice skate back then, and would often work out routines to music from bands like Icehouse. I never actually was able to competed with music from current bands at the time because my coach felt it wouldn't suit the figure skating routines that tended to be scored more highly. It didn't stop me going out on the rink and skating to music like Icehouse or songs like "Footloose" in my 'free time' on the ice, though! 😊
I remember having the classic audio cassettes. I had one of Michael Jackson and Kenny Rogers, Queen on record, listening to records at age 7, now 47. What fond memories. This band still sounds awesome, even though they're playing in different chord, lower key
I've been to a lot of concerts "back in the day" and now, and been predictably disappointed as how much a group has "lost it" (or half of them aren't there). It's the reason why I usually will avoid going to one now, so the memory of the perfect performance can stay with me. And with that, I have to say this was a very, very good performance by them! It's like those groups you hear and swear their back in the studio. I really liked Icehouse "back in the day", especially this song. The recording of this was done very well also, obviously part of a 80's revival? Thanks for bring me the memory I can keep, I'll also keep an eye out for them!
The incredible thing Icehouse and those of you at the second Hobart concert (the Sat one) did for us will be under Hey Little Girl. I saw this from directly in front of Iva along the railing with my tiny 10 yr old daughter due the crowd putting us there....and said crowd never knew that Keith (their manager) had given us tickets as one of the kindest gestures ever. I knew it may be my first chance to see them. It could likely be my last as well. I'm only 41, I was 40 when I saw this so fitting really. I also have a genetic condition that put me in the palliative category back in 2013. It was last minute so the band wouldn't have known who I was at all, they'll likely get a shock when I send through photos to Keith of how I always looked before this sick. I'd say they'll realise why that was a rare time I was in public, my daughter meant we were very visible though....and thanks for winking at her Steve, I saw you do a few double takes there as she was the youngest there by a decade! So cheers Paul, we were indeed right in front for this and I'll never forget it Xxx
Hey Paul! Thanks for the pics you’ve thrown my way! My sister and i have so much fun with you guys every time we are lucky enough to see you! We’re looking forward to the Enmore in December! Happy Birthday for last Sunday, 😉
My favorite Icehouse song. Didn't get as much air time as the others on the radio, but it's amazing. Great rocking tune, fun lyrics and a killer sax solo, not to mention the sweet drum fills at the end of the song. Sounding great for 30 years later.
Wow his voice is still the same. Such a great song. So nostalgic. Miss those younger days.
Brilliant! I turned 60 recently and I am so glad I lived through the late 70s and 80s, when the music was so damn good. Never to be repeated!
Wtf how does this still sounds so spot on and the lead singer look so healthy for his age?
They’re playing in D instead of F, so it’s a bit easier to sing. Still sounds good though! He still has to hit a G.
@@elmosexwhistle I would say the original is more in B flat major with most pitches in F 👍. Still you are correct....they have definitely changed the chording a bit downward to accommodate the singer most likely towards D pitching.
Ausies age well I've noticed.
@@chrisnauta2467 There's some modulation going on between the verse and the chorus, but what ever key you want to say they're playing it in, this performance is a minor 3rd below the original recording.
We age well, we're built different, we are that generation of change, love and peace.❤
I'm sad that the iconic mullet is gone, but I'm glad these guys are still around
What is mullet?
@@MateoPaz What is a search engine?
What is hurting watching old music videos, that one is reminded we don’t get music those anymore.
Although there will never be music like the 80's and it can never be replicated, we love all of you for making our youth what it was. We are still young and living. We see and hear you in our hearts! We are the everlasting generation!❤👍🤟
NO AUTOTUNE! SIMPLY PURE TALENT!
This song still sounds excellent over 30 years later - great job, guys!
Great band!
There are no words!
I recently rediscovered this song and cannot stop listening to it.
Totally with ya. It's JUST SO GOOD. I was 13 when I first heard it - 48 now. Still in love with Iva
@@amydianaramirez74 I am 48 too (49 next month). I had forgotten the song until I accidentally rediscovered it here.
@@LibraGamesUnlimited There are great extended versions here on UA-cam now too
@@amydianaramirez74 I played around with some of them, even a few covers. Its really hit or miss though. :)
it happens the same to me hehe hehe

That sax is killer!
I think his voice sounds stronger here than it did on the Tonight Show in 1987.
His voice is amazing
Ice House, Midnight Oil, INXS, Big Country, Men With Hats are just a few of my favorite Aussie bands from my childhood in the 80s.
Big Country were Scottish
Men With Hats are Canadian
@@2degucitas Men Without Hats
Men at Work
What about Men at Work, Bee Gees, AC DC , Olivia Newton John etc come on mate

2021......Still my love.......thank you for the precious memories. Who is still loving this? My best and worst summer ever. Forever in my heart.
The voice started down , then it ran well.
Geniuses 😎
They still sound the same…amazing!
Amazing song and amazing band ... I grew up in Cuba listening this great band .. i built a huge antenna to get radio stations from Miami .. Ice House is in my favorite bands forever ..
WTF they are still young and healthy, like they were in my youth, i love this band, go on please

Well, hearing Iva talk and now I’ve got a fresh, new crush. ♥️

How the FUCK does he still sound so fucking good, 40 years later? Damn they're good
Really still a cool song
say them in Auckland 1988......magic night. great song....wish i could go back.....

Excellent song!

True Artists! .. Icehouse.. Sounds amazing over 30 years of excellence.
That's such a great song.
I've been a fan since I was 16. I love this band.
Never stop playing because your music and your voice are magic!!!!
just as good today as it has always been!
I'm usually not into sax solos, but that sax sounds fantastic!
Electric Blue, Icehouse.
Who can it he Now?, Men at work.
Never tear us apart, INXS.
Maneater, Hall & Oates.
Badass saxo
My fav from this band. I wish he would sing louder like the original. Perfect voice for this song.
Nothing to do with the volume, they have to drop the tuning for this song, he doesn't have the pitch in his voice anymore.
A Brilliant Song!!!,! ManyThanx From Costa Mesa CA!!!!
Never stop playing because your music and your voice are magic!!!!
They sound AMAZING!
Ahhhhh, timeless and still magnificent as ever.
WOW SO GOOD SINGING AFTER 30Y I LOVE YOU ICEHOUSE MY STAR!
Oh my god, I still remember this band that was one of my favourites! Iva still sounds as amazing.
Awesome! The old guys still got it :-)
It's just not the same without the mullet.
Is it just me or is this song being played at a different octave also?
@@lifeandThings pass mark over 60yo

Well, to me it's a privilege to be able to enjoy this concert on UA-cam!
What about the Mullet ?
They sound so good. I can't get over it.
Never give up on your dreams icehouse, hope for many more concerts to come. You guys are awesome!!!!
He still sounds really good. He retained most of his voice. Just those higher notes become difficult as the vocal cords age.
Interesting. I didn't know that about the human voice
im 68 years old and still have my falsetto.
This version is at least a half step down from the original but he still sounds great
Sounds softer and more "humble", but can still hit all the notes! Wonderful 80's, wonderful song.
They still sound good!
Never stop playing because your music and your voice are magic!!!!
We just covred Electric Blue on the rock podcast What The Riff. Outstanding band - timeless amazing song!
SU MEJOR TEMA UN HIMNO AQUI EN REP DOMINICANA EN LA ESTACION DE RADIO LA 91.3 FM
I think when Iva really let him self loose, he still have a great voice.
Still love the way he sings this !
This song is beautiful
Magic omg love it he still amazing♥️😎🎷
What can i say you guys still rock.
Superb song, it has got me through a few things in life, and for that I thank you.
Nice to see them still together... good song!
One of the best bands ever!
Such beautiful memories of the 80’s
From Guadalajara,Mexico;I'm a fan of you guys even if I'm from a new generation.
You have great taste!
A Brilliant Song!!!,! ManyThanx From Costa Mesa CA!!!!
C'est tellement une belle chanson. J'adore le saxophone. C'est dommage qu'on entend plus cette instrument dans la musique d'aujourd'hui.
Oui, c'est vrai
Definitely. The saxophone is beautiful, so harmonic in Amy ballad. Today's music is just not the same🎶
They still got it. Surprising
Great stuff just like the original
