Chris Rea "Working On It" Live at the Old Fruit Market in Glasgow, 1994. From the album "NEW LIGHT THROUGH OLD WINDOWS" (1988), and, from the "WORKING ON IT" 7", 12", and CD singles, 1988.
Dear God the man is entirely the rock star he always maintains he isn't! Well Chris, whether you like it or not if you produced absolute corkers like this you are absolutely a star. Brilliant, truly brilliant!
Never got the credit he so richly deserved in music. What a slide guitarist/ brilliant vocalist One of the best I’ve ever heard with an all session musicians backing band. Has to be the greatest ever
This solo changed my life... I had a guitar but didn't play it... Then I watched this live on TV some 28 years ago and from that moment I never put it down. Thank you Chris for showing me what could be done. x
Since 1989 (ROAD TO HELL)he's been my daily stepping stones through life, and he's damned sure solidly in all my music devices today . HIS MUSICIANSHIP and vocalists ingenuity is unreal. He kept me sane while driving big rigs("large car") for at least 2.5 million accident free miles... Somewhere Between Highway 61 & 49. Love,love love🚛🌁🌃🚜🌠🎲
Have only recently "discovered" this amazing and talented creature that is Chris Rea - I feel like the mushroom kept in the dark for the past 30years, so glad I have come into the light
This song is from his 1988 album NEW LIGHT THROUGH OLD WINDOWS. It was a rare US chart single peaking at #73 on the billboard hot 100. And giving him his only #1 single on the mainstream rock track chart.
What a fuckin genius! His music has started by day's off for so long now I can't remember!! I fully understand his reasoning 4 wanting to b seen as a 'musician' not a 'pop' or 'rock' star, that's why he's so underrated and under promoted by record companies - he's difficult 2 categorise and refuses to b dictated 2 by such companies who would like 2 b able 2 manipulate him into a category. Good on u mate, 4 u'r stance! & personal integrity, & OH!! did I forget 2 mention u'r fuckin awesome slide guitar & brilliantly complementing voice. U can c the pleasure his band gets just by working with him, just observe their facial expressions & body language. WIICKEEED, WICKKEEEDD, WIICCKKKEEED.
Exactly, I thought I was listening dire straits when I watched above the law, movie and it was Chris Rhea I had missed this dude's music what the hell anyway he's really really good😀😀😀
Although I love all the albums, seeing Chris Rea live is the only way to really appreciate his genius. I am blessed to have been able to see him many, many times and this performance is absolutely one of the best. When he goes into his guitar solos the band say he's 'going Picasso' because they can never be sure what shape it will take. Pure genius.
I heard this and Road To Hell on the movie Above The Law with Charlie Sheen and Michael Madson...it got me lookin' into this guys music...workin' on it, you might say.....maybe you will to...as I have posted this on my Facebook page.
WHEN YOU HAVE WORKED AS A P/DECORATOR for 51 yrs 41 Self Employed 😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨THIS SONG says IT ALL !!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😴BANG on Chris g
How can anyone not just be in awe of that slide guitar
Dear God the man is entirely the rock star he always maintains he isn't! Well Chris, whether you like it or not if you produced absolute corkers like this you are absolutely a star. Brilliant, truly brilliant!

A TRUE musician and a damn fine slide man . His back catalogue of songs are exquisite !
🤍🇪🇦
I think Chris really is one of the best I love his music and it will never go out of fashion God bless him keep going sir
Never got the credit he so richly deserved in music. What a slide guitarist/ brilliant vocalist One of the best I’ve ever heard with an all session musicians backing band. Has to be the greatest ever
He should be honoured by the Queen for his music. A lovely man.🎤
Outstanding solo, the radio play from the late 1980's doesn't even approach doing this song justice.
Brilliant Incredible Songwriter Composer Lyricist and one of the greatest Guitarist ever and a Master Slide Guitarist.
SHINE ON 💎
