This has to be THE definitive version of this song. His voice is much deeper and stronger. How lucky were those people in the audience. I only got to see him once but the memory will last a lifetime. Thankyou and RIP Steve
One by one the people who gave a soundtrack to my youth are leaving us. I'd forgotten this track until I heard it again on Johnnie walker's show this Sunday. Simply amazing. Too good to have been a hit back in the day, but what piece, what a piece. And what a gent.
What a performer and this version of the wonderful Sebastian will sit along my all time favourites. Honoured to have seen Steve perform several times in the past 10 years and will never forget those gigs. RIP Steve and thanks for the music.
Auch mich hat man Sebastian genannt...und ich habe dieses geniale Stück mit 21 Jahren zum ersten Mal gehört...und es bewegt mich immer noch zutiefst... wobei ich diese Version am liebsten mag ❤
I've never heard of him until tonight. This performance has got me frozen.. In awe. Sad i never heard of him. I'm sorry to all of you and his family and friends. My goodness how did i miss him all these years? 😞
When a youngster, I bought the classic single, Come Up And See Me, that was fantastic, Sebastian, was the "B" Side, that was so much better and to this day is one of my favourite songs, RIP Steve, you were great and will not be forgotten.
There was a pub in Kilburn where this was on the Juke box, I would play it repeatedly, my favourite Steve Harley song, still know all the words. This however is the most beautiful version I have ever heard, thank you so much. RIP Steve.
My dear father ...this is my letter to you..you were the one tha told me about this song..you hugged and me told me a story about a man named sebastian...years later i understood this song..it was you..you were the Sebastian...have a nice time floating in the stars..i love you..never told you...im sorry father iam drank..i cant stand on your grave..sorry father..
Rest in peace and play forever wherever you are now! Thank you for the music! Music and love are the only things that feed and keep our minds and souls alive.
If I had attended this concert in person I probably would have burst into tears from awe and deep appreciation and the pain in my heart from memories of times long ago. Absolutely brilliant ❤
My mother used to listen this and other Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel songs. Now she's gone, withered away by the cancer that consumed her. She never was much of mother, but for me, songs like this are far more precious than all the care and motherhood in the world.
You made me immens happy with your beautiful performances and compositions,Mr.Harley. No gesture,words are enough to express this.I wish you a safe trip to the afterlife,in the harm of your Creator. With love and most respect..R.I.P.x
Gives me goosebumps everytime. I'm 73. Saw him at the Theatre Royal in Lincoln on Friday 13th May. One of the highlights of my life. Magical. It's like an anthem.
I was expecting him to tour in my city, a date was booked, but then Covid happened and the concert was postponed. And then it seems he could no longer come. R.I.P. I wanted to experience a live performance by Steve so much.❤❤❤
I only learnt about this song as it was used as the sound track to accompany the weekly Scouts Sunday evening slide show in Kandersteg when I worked there in 1980. No idea why it was chosen - probably because it was quite long and very atmospheric. Only later did I discover whose song it was - and what a bloody brilliant composition it was.

When a youngster, I bought the classic single, Come Up And See Me, that was fantastic, Sebastian, was the "B" Side, that was so much better and to this day is one of my favourite songs, RIP Steve, you were great and will not be forgotten.
Ich habe dieses Lied schon gehört, als ich mit Sebastian schwanger war. Das war vor 27 Jahren.
Eins der besten Lieder, die ich jemals gehört habe.
There was a pub in Kilburn where this was on the Juke box, I would play it repeatedly, my favourite Steve Harley song, still know all the words. This however is the most beautiful version I have ever heard, thank you so much. RIP Steve.

My mother used to listen this and other Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel songs. Now she's gone, withered away by the cancer that consumed her. She never was much of mother, but for me, songs like this are far more precious than all the care and motherhood in the world.
Parenting isn’t easy
Sometimes we have to look at what happened to them forgive in your heart much ❤
His voice became fuller with age, deeper... Wow
Das beste Lied was ich mit 15 Jahren GEHÖRT habe und jetzt bin 60Jahre alt und meine Ansicht ist die selbe. L.G.Evai Britta
RIP Steve... 💔
RIP From Greece with love
Sebastian is de beste song van Cockney Rebellion. Geweldige uitvoering dit.
You made me immens happy with your beautiful performances and compositions,Mr.Harley.
No gesture,words are enough to express this.I wish you a safe trip to the afterlife,in the harm of your Creator.
With love and most respect..R.I.P.x

Stunning performance - such sad news today, a key part of my teenage years gone, such original cool music from an era of greats.
