Gotta say man, who are these 5 or 6 people who dislike your reactions?? It's almost every video you post, I noticed. Is it the same 5 or 6 people? Are they trolling or something? I'm really enjoying your reactions to a lot of my favourite bands (mostly 70's & 80's, post-punk & new wave). U give an honest opinion Jay, and it's great watching you get into a ton of great songs, and discovering great bands, realising what made them so good. Keep on keeping on, Jay Vee.
I honestly think it’s the same set of people. Or maybe someone with multiple accounts
I'm suspicious. It's all a bit fishy 🤔
@@JayveeTV They probably down vote them just because they can. Ignore them!
Maybe other people with YT reaction channels?
The big question is why do so few people leave a thumbs up?!
I can't describe just how amazing it was to hear this for the first time in the '80s. It was like nothing we'd heard before.
I love when they did this song at Live Aid, it is timeless I enjoy watching it every so often
Wasn't this masterpiece kept of the top spot because of a silly song are shaddap a ya face?
😊💯🥂🇦🇺
Agreed. You know you are getting old when songs from your youth are over 40 years ago
I’ll never forget this haunting masterpiece by Midge Ure and Ultravox. Man, I miss the 80’s. 🎵😎✌🏾🤙🏾🙌🏾
This song is so perfect and timeless it makes me emotional. I get goosebumps all over too.
Same have you seen the Live Aid performance? It's amazing
Dancing With Tears In My Eyes really shows off his voice. His name is Midge Ure and he was was one of the guys who created Live Aid.
His solo stuff is good too. If I Was is a great one of his.
@Gerald H Can't agree more. I've seen him live just end of 2019 and his voice is still amazing!
@@federmaus7768 I saw him live in February last year for his Q&A tour, fantastic. Look out for the acoustic versions of this and DWTIME on UA-cam. Also, his Orchestrated album, the version of Hymn on it is sensational.
Midge is one of my faves 💕
@@fibrown444 I will, sounds great. Thanks.
"Fade To Grey" is also a great song from one of his earlier bands, "Visage", and it was a big hit in the UK. Worth checking out as well. As far as Ultravox goes, you have to do "Passionate Reply"... definitely one of their top songs.
It’s important to realize that the song shifts the way an opera would have different scenes and movements but comes back to its central theme. This is a nod to Vienna’s history as an epicenter of classical and opera.
Visage fade to grey ......some of the band members plus...awesome track video is best ! 😁👍🇬🇧✌️🙏
Midge Ure wrote and produced Fade to Grey
"We fade to gray......"
100% agree with that
Yeah!!!!!!
Saw Midge several years ago in East Kilbride playing Fade to Grey with just an acoustic guitar, absolutely brilliant!
Ultravox were the most underatted bands of the early 80's. Check out other tracks like The Voice, The Thin Wall, Hymn and Dancing With Tears In My Eyes.
You should also check out Return To Eden, s live concert they did at the Roundhouse in 2010. It was a reunion show and they were utterly banging.
Hi from the UK, this song from ultravox made the hairs on the back of your stand up , and have shivers down your spine, never to be forgotten 😉😉😉🤩🤩🤩 .
Ultravox is really far from what you would normally hear in US 2020, a deep dive into early days of UK synthpop 40 years ago. Not many people know about them anymore but bands like Depeche Mode and Muse have taken influences from Ultravox. One of my favourite dance tracks as a teenager sampled their Hymn but I didn't know it until much later.
Right on. Ultravox were trailblazers
What was the name of the dance track
Interesting comment pitched at 2020 music followers. In the UK Ultravox back in the 80s were one of the top ten bands that were taking the New Romantics style to new heights. To me, though long ago, they really still are a very great band.
@@sachajordan6976 Hymn and her...maybe.
@@sachajordan6976 I guess it would be Music Instructor. To say I prefer the original would be a massive understatement.
i'm from vienna! one of the greatest songs about my love of my life: my beautiful vienna!
thanks for your reaction!
Greetings from Graz! ;)
Hammertrack. Gruesse aus Muenchen. Gerade auf Heimweg aus Wien.
servus aus Favoriten :-D
Alsergrund represent
One of my favourite songs of all time I studied classical piano before I discovered boys and still air play the beautiful piano parts. The whole song is a masterpiece.
Keyboardist here and I air play this too ! It's irresistible !
@@xoxxobob61 I'm so glad to hear that. I feel like a nutter when I do it but at least I'm not alone. It is irresistible!
Do you not think it would have been more generally recognised as the classic it is if Midge Ure hadn't sung on it? Regarding the "air piano", I've been air practicing it a lot of late and yet, somehow, I still manage to hit lots of duff notes. Any tips?
@@MisAnnThorpe I still hit the wrong notes too. Midge Ure's voice was perfection for that song!! People of my vintage pretty much regards this as the classic that it is.
@@karenglenn6707 It just doesn't seem to matter how much practice I put in, I still keep making the same mistake. I'm now thinking of taking up air viola instead. There are so few air viola players out there that I feel I'm almost certain to get the gig no matter how bad I am.
This song is a pop masterpiece of uncommon brilliance, without a doubt. I think as time has passed, more and more people have come to realise just how good it is but I still wish it was an instrumental track. The music is so evocative that it paints (Viennese?) pictures, without any need for words. I'd go as far as to say that this record is up there with the likes of The Beach Boys' "Good vibrations".
That Man still has an amazing voice. Took me 20 years to see him in person. I was blown away. One man and one guitar ; in New Orleans it was feckin awesome. You do know Midge Ure wrote and produced the Band-Aid song , "Do They Know It's Christmas?" to help with the 1980's famine in Ethiopia. Have you heard of any Ethopian famines lately? Music can and did change the world.
You've picked some bangers tonight ❤
I spent many happy nights belting this out at the youth club disco.
'Dancing with Tears in my Eyes' is a greeat one and also 'The Voice' is a good one. Saw them live 3 times and they were amazing. Especially the Monument Tour
You want hear more voice from Midge Ure the singer of Ultravox then check out their song "Dancing with tears in my eyes"
By the way I´m from Vienna therefore the sights/locations of this video are so familiar ...Vienna Opera house, St. Stephen´s cathedral, Café Central, some front courts of the emperor´s residence "Hofburg" and many angles of the Central graveyard..a whole Tourist tour obviously shot in late Autumn...
Well obviously Ultravox was very impressed from the imperial flair of my home-city.
I LOVE this song...... Best listened to loud!... It sounds like it your heart beating. ❤️
Do some Alison Moyet. She was hot in the 80s. Invisible, All Cried Out.
❤
Another great woman with an amazing and powerful voice
... or "Situation" (Yazoo / Yaz), or "Whispering Your Name". Alison is a bona-fide goddess
Deffo!!! 💖💖💖👍
Oh yes💜💜✌🏾✌🏾
Watch the performance of this song at the Live Aid concert 1985 to be absolutely wowed by Midge Ure's voice. One person in the comments section wrote: "This performance is hailed by many music professionals and teachers as one of the greatest vocal feats of all time." Some other songs to listen to: "Dancing With Tears In My Eyes", "One Small Day", "Reap the Wild Wind", "White China."
Crying before I hear this. My ultimate song band and singer. This video was immense at the time. Midge is just amazing and under rated as a singer. 💗💗💗
Golden Brown by The Stranglers is a classic tune and worth a listen
That song is about heroin lmao.
Even my dad liked this song, and he was in his late 60’s when it came out. A bit of an epic, dripping with class. Oh yes the singing is pretty darn good too.
Thank you so much for doing it. Told you Scottish music was great. This especially.
You'll also really really love Dancing With Tears In My Eyes.
Isn't Vienna just so absorbing?
L Attis I have to say I LOVE Midge and Ultravox but I hate DWTIME. I don’t know why.
Scottish Music? Ultravox? How dya work that one out? Just because Midge is from Glasgow?
@@Chrisamusic1 A few of us have noticed that Jayvee likes Scottish singers. So we gave him a list of songs with Scottish singers. That's what this comment was referring to.
As for Ultravox, you can hardly claim that Ure was just some guy from Glasgow who happened to be in the band.
They were dead in the water. He came along as keyboardist, guitarist, lead singer, and songwriter. Writing not only their greatest and biggest hit (consistently voted as one of the best songs in British history) but also creating the new sound direction which gave them their biggest period of success.
@@lattis8157 You didn't need to tell me that. I know my music, big fan of Midge as well. The point I was making was that no-one has EVER referred to Ultravox as a 'Scottish band'. Are you getting them confused with Runrig? :-)
Great choice Jayvee! You really should check out the live version of this at Live Aid 1985. Sensational vocals from Midge Ure.
Yes it was really a great performance ! Despite some problems with the viola it’s really a great one !
I totally agree. The Live Aid performance is awesome!! OMG!! Midge Ure’s voice at his best 👍🏻
You have to listen to “If I was” by lead Singer Midge Ure OBE
He also co-wrote the Bandaid single Do they know it’s Christmas ( Brit charity song that inspired We Are the world) with Sir Bob Geldof (Boomtown Rats)
Once you react to Paul Young “Every Time you Turn Away”, you’ll be ready to react to Do they know it’s Christmas.
React to Roxy Music- Love is the drug
YES ROXY MUSIC!!!!
For me the best version of this song (visually) is their Live Aid performance. Partly because I’ve never actually liked this video (despite loving the song), and partly because you get to see Midge Ure’s live vocal performance, which is so impressive! But my favorite Ultravox song is “Dancing with Tears in My Eyes.” It’s so catchy, and his vocals are incredible!
JoVaughn - if you happen to see this, today is this girl’s birthday! 👆🏻(Love you, Nicole!)
Alexi Holford - I read the comment before I saw who was saying it, and I was like “Who here knows this & how?!” 😂💕
have you heard golden brown by the stranglers. same era.
And ''peaches that's a cool song with funny meaning..and their cover of ''walk on by''.
I was just thinking that would be a good song to suggest.
And skin deep
@@stevetici2668 Yeah that's a great song.
Beautiful song. Absolute masterpiece imho. That got kept off the number one spot as well, but can't remember who kept it at number two... 🤔
Classic. If you like them you can try Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark (OMD). Souvenir. Joan Of Arc. Electricity. So many. This song was kept off the top spot in the charts in the UK by a novelty song.
OMD 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 They're pop perfection!
I'd like to see his reaction on first hearing "Genetic engineering". My guess is that it would not be too dissimilar to mine. Something along the lines of, "Okay, so this is how deliberate career suicide sounds."
MisAnnThorpe Genetic Engineering was a Top 20 single. I don’t think that was career suicide. Most of the rest of Dazzle Ships? Yes. Lol
@@adamdodgshon638 Considering the success of the singles from Architecture and morality, I'd argue that Genetic engineering and Telegram were relative commercial flops. Likewise, Dazzleships spent 13 on the charts as opposed to A&M's 39 (yes, I just checked!). I'd guess that the record company were less than happy and would take the fact that Locomotion was their first release after the Dazzleships album to be proof of that! I've come to really like Genetic Engineering but it was always going to be a risk as a "comeback" single.
MisAnnThorpe Dazzle Ships was a huge failure, commercially. The band admit they had felt invincible and could put out whatever they wanted and it would be a success. Following up Architecture and Morality was always going to be tough. They had been more experimental earlier in their careers. But let’s face it. Joan Of Arc sounded like nothing else at the time and was certainly pushing the bounds of what could be a commercial success. It paid off. Genetic Engineering didn’t fare as well as any of the previous singles, but If You Leave never made the top 40 at all. Would you call that career suicide too? :-). I have no argument with Dazzle Ships being considered deliberate career suicide as an album but Genetic Engineering is a relatively commercial track from it and did ok. It charted higher than Tesla Girls and all the singles off Crush, which is considered a really commercial album. Almost too commercial. Maybe losing your fans by playing it safe is more career suicide than an album of weird experimentation? :-)
A classic of the New Romantic scene. Love that 808 bass drum at the beginning. This tune is definitely a grower.
Later in the track you can tell they didn't have much sequencing in synths in the 1980's, the timing isn't quite perfect which lets you know it's being actually played and not programmed or quantised.
Weird that you reacted to Bronski Beat and now Ultravox, both Scottish singers, you should really check out Simple minds, you've likely heard some of their stuff but didn't know, especially "Don't You (Forget about me)" which was in the Breakfast Club soundtrack.
You should also try Visage - Fade to Grey, that's another good example.
I second the suggestion to do Visage and Simple Minds, though I'm pretty sure Ultravox used a CR-78 for the drum pattern on this song. I'm not even sure if the TR-808 already hit the market when they recorded this song in february 1980. ;)
Love that info, thanks! Visage Fade To Grey is one of my 80s all time faves.
@@yasminm7157 Quinressential
Also by Ultravox ... Reap The Wild Wind, Dancing With Tears In My Eyes, One Small Day.
Midge Ure solo ... If I Was.
Please & thanks.
Don't forget Midge's first band Slik 👍
Dancing with tears in my eyes was also my personal fav :)
If I was...awesome song.. ;)
Ultravox - “The voice” has great vocals ♥️
Now react to “Shadduppayaface” by Joe Dolce- the song that kept Vienna from becoming number 1 in the UK and weep hot tears for the country of my birth...
@Jonathan Hill don’t worry it made No. 1 over here in with the door neighbours, in Ireland, where we appreciate classics😁
J, their "Sleepwalk" and "Reap The Wild Wind" were good songs with more pep to them.
White China, Dancing with Tears in My Eyes and All Stood Still.
All his music was absolutely amazing x
It's 2021 & this song still gives me goosebumps, I have loved ultravox since the early 80's & I still love listening to them to this day, the guy who sang is has a brilliant voice, his name is midge ure, he help bob gelof for live aid in the uk, if you really want to hear midge's vocal talent you have to listening dancing with tears in your eyes, that's when you will hear how good he really is!
Huge Ultravox fan. They recorded many popular and memorable hit songs. Beatles producer George Martin was also a big fan of Ultravox to the point where he produced some of their albums. He labeled them as one of the most musical rock bands he ever heard.
J, please do Big Country, any of their songs will do..but "In a Big Country" or "Look Away"🎵🎶
Good recommendation.
Chance is better I think.
Just a shadow is another big country classic
Please try Icehouse “No Promises” and “Dancing with Tears in My Eyes” for more Ultravox...
Soooo glad u got round to this special track 👍🏻👍🏻🎶🎶🎶
The voice
Dancing with tears in my eyes
All stood still
Sleepwalk
Visions in blue
Hymn
The thin wall
Just a few of their hits
Classic track from Ultravox. Possibly the greatest song never to reach no.1, and we all know who was responsible for that lol.
Great reaction xx
@70AD people don't remember that though. All they remember is that it was kept off the no.1 slot and that's the most important thing at the time lol
Shut up your face!!!!
Crime against humanity👍
# 1 in the US singles chart for 5 weeks .
Shaddupa ya face😂
I really miss the 80's, they were epic
Interesting fact: The director originally wanted boats and bridges in the video before he was told that it was “Vienna not Bloody Venice”.
The Director went on to direct some iconic 80s films such as Highlander.
A great song and one of my favorites from that era. This was part of the New Romantic period of music and always amazing.
Gawd, I miss the eighties! I was grooving on all this stuff while everyone else was listening to Michael Jackson and Bruce Springsteen. This music is classic! Thanx for checking it out :)
The lead singer, Midge Ure, also did some interesting solo work. If I Was was his biggest solo hit.
Don't forget his early stuff with Slik👍
@@wencireone He was also a guitarist in Thin Lizzy and you didn't get into that band without being a very good guitarist.... unless you were Phil Lynott!
My mum had such a crush on the singer Midge Ure back in the day. He was also involved in another band who had an absolutely iconic 80's hit (though he wasn't the singer) Visage "We Fade to Grey" . Both songs really inspired the sound of the early 80's and changed the game.
Visage "Fade to Grey" ua-cam.com/video/UMPC8QJF6sI/v-deo.html
Don't forget Midge's early band Slik
80's music is so underappreciated. I'm a kid from the 80's. At the time, I never really appreciated what amazing music we had of all types, till recently. Ultravox was just one of the amazing bands to come out of the 80's. I miss the simpler times of the 80's. Great reaction btw. Thx for sharing.
Ultravox - Hymn
You won't regret it.
@Tara king I'm ashamed to say I almost forgot about 'Lament'... thanks for this suggestion!
I once read a description of the lion part of Ultravox' discography, labelling it 'sunday noir'. Yeah, it's yet another label, but I kinda like it.
What's great about your reviews is that you listen to the music but don't get too hung up on the visuals. Videos at that time tended to be overly stylised.
Passing Strangers was always my favorite Ultravox song.
Vienna, my hometown. ❤️
Other songs to try by them include The Voice, Hymn, Dancing with tears in my eyes etc
React to falco -> vienna calling 👌 or falco -> rock me amadeus
Lead singer, Midge Ure, co-wrote Do they know it's Christmas with Bob Geldof and also appeared in the bands Visage, Slik, and Rich Kids
That instrumental bit literally brings tears to my eyes. To this day, its still the most beautiful thing I've ever heard
Welcome to my world... enjoy
Try some of this songs:
- "Tonight is what it means to be young" by Fire Inc.
- "Time to wonder" by Fury in the slaughterhouse
- "I wish it would rain down" by Phil Collins
- "Wanted dead or alive" by Bon Jovi
- "Angels" by Robbie Williams
- "Back for Good" by Take That
- "All you Zombies" by the Hooters
- "Rise Up" by Yves Larock
- "Hello" by Adele
- "Rolling into deep" by Adele
- "Someone like you" by Adele
- "Leningrad" by Billy Joel
Great recommendations
The guy singing is the one that teamed up with Bob Geldorf from Boomtown Rats to do "Do They Know It's Christmas?", once he came on board with Geldorf, it very quickly came together and they did it like in one day. It was crazy lol. Watched the backstory on it. Fascinating.
You have to have some context on what it was like back then, picture the later 70's, fans of good music loved Queen, Pink Floyd, Bowie etc, all analogue, then we had disco, and punk, which where the antithesis of each other, and then computers arrived, and i mean computers many millions of times less powerful than your phone, but the synthisizer came to prominence, and all of a sudden, there where all these new sounds, on a "new wave" of music, bands like Ultravox, Tears for Fears, Spandau ballet etc. music changed overnight, and everything was dripping with electronics, it gave rise to many musical forms, and had a hand in hip-hop to. The singer from this band, Mij Ure ("Jim" backwards) is from two streets away, and the band were based in my part of Glasgow. loved the reaction.
You should also check their hit "Dancing With Tears In My Eyes" (1984) and the lead singer's first solo hit: Midge Ure with "If I Was" (1985).
This is a deep 80's cut..def not mainstream.
Ha it was mainstream though ! no2 in the uk charts for weeks and weeks
Not in the US... But i think we all agree the UK 🇬🇧 is
cooler
Wow....these guys fly under the radar.....great band. Saw them live once....fantastic.
one of my all time favourite songs
I really don't know why anyone will hit the dislike button
It’s the same trolls
@@JayveeTV people don't know what to do with their time
Try visage fade to grey
Essential listening 👍
And "Night train", which I think it's fair to say is "bonkers"! I particularly like the bit where the bass becomes HUGE and sounds very PiL (Jah Wobble) like.
My dad recorded videos from MTV that I would rewatch through my childhood. This was one from Ger's MTV tapes. Fantastic song. ❤❤
When he popped his collar…Game over! 😂😂
I was just thinking you should react to this yesterday. ❤️
You need this CD we have for in the car, you’d love it.
Please do dancing with tears in my eyes. Love this song he has such a good voice. He is from Scotland and was a massive party of the UK 's band aid do they know it's Christmas. And live aid. Great reaction Jay. 😀😀💖💕💖
Takes me back. Luv how it builds then soars😍
Midge Ure, lead singer, check out his solo work. Maybe with
IF I WAS....
Check out Ultravox - Dancing With Tears In My Eyes - another one of their songs its good
This is a song and a half. I've always loved the opening and the drop with the vocals. When it was released it blew my mind. That's what you call atmosphere. Classic. A synth band I'm just got music from has that 80s vibe, Montage Collective. Check them out if you can :)
Could check out the "voice", "hymn"or "loves great adventure". These guys were of a time, my time, just left school, first job, first boyfriend, lot of firsts. Serious memories. So it's good to here, young people giving these oldies an airing. Thank you.
One of the very biggest hits of the eighties this one.
Iconic song. Moody, atmospheric, pretentious even! But a pretty groundbreaking song for it’s time. A good follow on from this would be the sublime Visage and Fade To Grey. That set the tone for a new era in music.
I think the only legitimate reason for this song being considered pretentious is Midge Ure's vocal and lyrics.
Adam and the Ants, Dog Eat Dog.. double drummer video..
Essential Listening 👍
i lived for Ultravox met them in 2012, such great people they took the time out to speak to everyone who waited for them after the concert THE GOODBYE CONCERT underrated 80s band
Happy Thursday J thank you for the great reactions.
If you're impressed by Midge's voice you should react to his solo single 'Breathe', you will be blown away by how he sounds in that one.
Yes! Was coming here to request/suggest the same thing!
Never heard of this lol. Here are few great 80's Echo &The Bunnyman "Bring On The Dancing Horses" Howard Jones "Things Can Only Get Better" Starship "Sara" Till Tuesday "Voices Carry" Scandal "The Warrior"
I used to listen to Sara on a loop. Loved it.
@@gpreactions3194 And I used to replay the official music video to that song "Sara" loved it☺
@@feliciakidd9358 I've never seen the video! I might just have to check that out, but thank you for reminding me about that little jem of a song. x
@@gpreactions3194 You're welcome and you're gonna love the video.
Some Peter Gabriel
7:33
Yes, that is what makes a good song. This one got good tension. Early 80's Ultravox for sure.
This has always been one of my fave 80's song, great beats. You be hard pushed not to find anyone who grew up or old enough to remember the 80's era, that didn't like this song, was very popular then and still is to those who remember it of course. Other ones of theirs i did also like was Reap The Wild Wild Wind & Dancing With Tears In My Eyes, both great songs also. And of course Midge, Ure scottish born, great singer.
Apologies, it's my fault it never got to number 1. I bought Shut-up Ya Face.
I gotta no respect!
Hey whatsa madder you
Really Smart........hey!!!
My mum used to tell me this all the time when growing up “Joe Dolce kept them from number one” 😂
Itsa notta so bad.... 😂😂😂
If you want moody synth with a good voice from the same era, try Japan Ghosts. I guarantee you've never heard anything like it
I LOOOOOOOOOVE THIS TRACK - sorry if I am shouting but I am so happy u are reacting to this
Greets from Vienna.....it’s a hymn!! 👍
depeche mode should give part of their royalties to this band.
DM and Duran Duran owe a lot to Ultravox and the band Japan.
Best reactor on YT, you really feel the music. Wonder what your fave tune from the 80’s is so far. Be v interesting to know 👍
Give him chance yet. He's still gotta listen to Joe Dolce's Shaddup ya face lol
gpreactions 😆😆😆. And don’t forget Shaving Cream...or was that the 70s hahaha.
gpreactions oops, of course lol. Still one of the most heinous crimes in chart history. 😀
That blummin song committed 2 crimes: firstly knocking Adam & the Ants off the No.1 spot and secondly, keeping this gem from the top spot!
@@samhain1894 I think he should do a far superior song to shadup ya face....
The chicken song-spitting image
Try Ultravox Dancing with tears in my eyes... excellent!
‘Dancing with tears in my eyes’ is another good song of theirs
J💝Y try a bit of Hazel O’Connor “will you” 80’s music with amazing saxophone 🎷 you’ll love it
There was a sad but great story behind that track. The song was written in response to a story in the news about a terrorist explosion in a cafe... I think.
gpreactions , I’ve doubled checked and your right. The man popped in to buy a sandwich and died from a Bomb. Sad that this song is 40yrs old and still these Radom acts are happening around the world 😢
@@nicolasmiley7181 1981 was an unbelievable year for music and a lot of social commentary through music. The Specials with Ghost Town, UB40 one in ten, and although I was too young to appreciate the harshness of living in the UK, these three songs could so easily describe a lot of what was going on x
My small channel has had a bit of a love-in with 1981 I have to admit lol. And I love it when these guys are introduced to this music for the first time x
You’re taking a real wander though the 80s, this was my decade my teenage years. I had a poster of Midge Ure on my bedroom wall 😂
@Tara king cool, I never knew they dated.
Ure is one of the few whose voice is as good now as it ever was. Certainly "Hymn", "Dancing With Tears in my Eyes" and "The Voice" shows off his range superbly and as others have said his Live Aid vocals were incredible without any warm up. Queen may have stolen the show with their set but I still think Ure was on a par that day with the vocals.
Ultravox!!!! Now the thing you have to remember about Ultravox the band is this song is from their second iteration with Midge Ure. He replaced John Foxx from the first iteration of the band. So, when Foxx left, they hired Ure. Please note that there are two camps when it comes to Ultravox. There are many who like the early Ultravox and not the later and vice versa. I personally like both iterations of the band, but they are the same, yet different. So, if you do more Ultravox, just realize that. Also realize that Midge Ure played with Thin Lizzy some and also he went on to have a brilliant solo career. So you have a LOT of ground you can cover here. From Early Ultravox with Foxx to later with Ure and then Ure solo stuff. This is a very deep rabbit hole. Enjoy!!
Absolutely agree, I love both incarnations of Ultravox. Hiroshima mon amour and dislocation remain two of my all-time favorite tracks. Unfortunately, I never got to see Ultravox with John Foxx although I saw Them with Midge about 5 times including the reunion tour.
Loved it ..and him,back in day when we were young ..
