I have mad respect for anybody who can be the lead singer and drummer at the same time and sound just about exactly the same live, as he can on the album
"Sky High" actually peaked at #3 on the Hot 100, and #4 on the Adult Contemporary chart (both Billboard). May have done better on Cashbox's charts. Couldn't find those.
F***in' great! This is live even better than the studio version. What a great drummer and singer. Funny, it takes back-in the-day-communist Polish television to finally give us a real live version of this gem.
LOL how bout it... but why have the other two mics set up... somebody had to able to fill in the lower harmony note on hiiiiiiiiiiiiggggggghhhhhhhhh !!!
@@john111257 Would've loved to be able to experience that. I've been listening their songs to death the last couple of years. Were they as great as this performance makes them out to be?
I lived in Germany when this song came out in 1975. I would listen to it on Radio Luxembourg. One of my favourite songs from that time period. It still sounds great today. Des Dyer the singer sounds as good live as he does on the record.
Those were the days in the early 70s,many a good night in the Walsgrave and surrounding pubs in Coventry.Maknly a cover band band then with a bit of comedy rolled in.Always finished up the night with "Fire' by Arthur Brown.Sirens,explosion and setting fire to the organ,memories
I've always loved "Sky High". Drummers who sing lead have my respect. Both drumming and singing require concentration, stamina and breath control. It's not easy feat to do both at once. Great live performance by the entire band :-)
That drummer was the whole band, especially how great he is as a singer while also playing tricky drumming parts. Why did those other guys in the band even have microphones?
@@PaintHerWhite It also seems the Guitar player does not play, you can see, he does not hit the strings,.so I guess this was just the drummer who play drums and sings.
Why cover a Boz song? Did they only have one hit of their own?And what happened to the orchestra? Do they play and the band play on alternate weekends?
Not the Drummer but one of this band used to have a band called the steve simonz band they used to play at a Pub in Blackpool called the Manchester in the 1980s Were any of these Steve .
Bass player and guitarist just couldn't be arsed to put the harmonies on "blown it all sky HIIIIGH " ? Drummer is a great vocalist, but they hung him out to dry on that....
I said pretty much the same thing in my comment on this video. The drummer is the entire band, while the other guys just stand there and bounce around and don't even use the microphones they have right in front of them to help him out on the vocals.
So strange the drummer is the entire band, don't even think the others are plugged in much less backup vocals. All studeo musicians on the radio version of the drummer also sang Those were different days for sure!

Agree 👍
Seriously!!! To keep in perfect pitch, especially on the falsetto “high” part, and drum...WOW.
Same here! Sheer respect for a lead singer to be a drummer too. Vocals and drumming are amazing! Jigsaw were a very tight band :)
@@matthewphilp6338 Singing and drumming at the same time takes a lot of concentration
dude is/was a beast!!!!
One of the best 70s pop songs ever
pop/disco mix
so much soul.
@@allangedan7630 Big time I remember with disco.
Totally agree!
Not pop disco
Whoever found this, thanks! One of my favorite songs of all time.
Damm he hits the high notes live. Great!
This is the theme song for our Aussie film : the man from Hong Kong . What a brilliant song .
The man from hong kong
I was 9 years old in the US when this song reached no 1. I still love it no auto tune just talent. Simple and damn good.

I was eleven years old when it reached number one! I couldn't agree more with you.
WHEN WE HAD GOOD SONGS 1975..
Drum and sing at the same time!!! Awesome!!
Banda Roupa Nova também faz isso.
Superb drumming and singing by Des….
F***in' great! This is live even better than the studio version. What a great drummer and singer. Funny, it takes back-in the-day-communist Polish television to finally give us a real live version of this gem.

I was there!!! Sopot 1980. Amazing!
Great drummer/great singer!
Good drummer singers, you can count them on one hand. A up and coming one is the young girl in The Warning band.
Karen Carpenter!
From Mexico, are they?
Thanks. Great live performance of Sky high, one of the best songs of the 70s
I love that song Sky High one of my favorites
Such a musical gem. Love that song, I mean these songs.
Wow! Des, such a beautiful voice and beautiful smile!
I think that's his best asset....his smile!
This version is so unique and as delicious as fresh sushi. Its melody, his voice and nice wasabi.
The lads from Coventry 👍🏴
Some were from Rugby, possibly our best known until James Morrison hit the charts.
We’re any of them called Steve Simonz . Singer and guitarist with the Steve Simonz band .
Amazing...flawless live performance ❤
10 years old and the best moment for great orchestras sound,Barry White and the love unlimited orchestra ❤

Karen Carpenter!!!! Drummer and lead singer....
I'm LOVING this cover of Boz Scaggs!!!! Damn fine job!
That drummer was the whole band, especially how great he is as a singer while also playing tricky drumming parts. Why did those other guys in the band even have microphones?
they sang on other tracks
They're just kind of filler, aren't they?
They are looking to get paid thanks to that drumming, singing, hero of the ages.
Lido Shuffle-Boz Scaggs. Toto in there
@@PaintHerWhite It also seems the Guitar player does not play, you can see, he does not hit the strings,.so I guess this was just the drummer who play drums and sings.
Awesome upload thanks!!!! Love this song and this is an incredible live performance of it. Nice bonus of Lido Shuffle as well!!!!!
This song gave life to the movie 'The Man from Hong Kong'.
Real Music & Real Voice, is very nice !!!
One of my first 45s love this song!!! ❤
Des singer drummer excellent
Awsome wow! They sound great really love this song
I`m glad to listen to this song because all of the 50s Japanese guys were made by this song!
I always sing along to this song at work when it comes on the radio system.
Both songs are great. Jigsaw does a great cover of Lido!
貴重な映像サンキュー！！
Can’t believe I found a live version! My hubby didn’t know it. How?? Loved Des! The rest of the band, not so much!
Beautiful job
Outstanding!
Fantastic! Thanks for the upload.
Oh daam this is sooo fantastic!!!!
Fantastic voice.
Great pop song and performance.
I was 13 in 75 and this was so amazing 👏
After many years it's nice to know these guys can actually play. I only saw them lip-sync back in the days.
The horns make this song come together.
super good live sound for that time
YES! ❤
Love them
The man from Hong Kong - Great live singer

oblibenec thank you so much that was awesome!
Would love to see the audience.
Damn good song!
This is amazing

Que demais
Excellent video
so gooooooooooooooood
It's an exhilarating song.
唯一の生演奏かな？
Where did you find this???? Amazing. I love youtube!
good~!!!

Des 🔥
ya sabia que ese tipo si cantaba! Nice!
Oooh dear!!!
I didn’t know Clint Black and the Bee Gees covered this song🤣. Seriously, I love this song from the 70s.
and with a cowboy hat !!!!
Catchy
Not the Drummer but one of this band used to have a band called the steve simonz band they used to play at a Pub in Blackpool called the Manchester in the 1980s Were any of these Steve .
Why is he wearing a cowboy outfit? Was that a thing in 1980?
Yes it was , Cowboy boots as well!

6:25 keyboards more prominent in Scaggs' version.
Tocar bateria e cantar não é para qualquer um
This was back before the wall came down. Might say shows like this helped.
So who actually sings harmonies on the original?
A true performer
It was all Des, the lead singer and drummer
Drummer overdubs lead and harmony vocal.
Bass player and guitarist just couldn't be arsed to put the harmonies on "blown it all sky HIIIIGH " ? Drummer is a great vocalist, but they hung him out to dry on that....
Dead right........DEAD WEIGHT
how bout it... a single effing note to fill that - they couldn't muster it up on that part
That's the way they do it on the original, i don't know why
I said pretty much the same thing in my comment on this video. The drummer is the entire band, while the other guys just stand there and bounce around and don't even use the microphones they have right in front of them to help him out on the vocals.
They are just dancing filler.
もう、生ライブとなると少々ドラムが早くなろうが遅くなろうがノリで
イってまえーっですよね・・笑い。
Excelente presentacion la musica no tiene idioma por que es universal
My first rejection happened when this song came out.
❤️😎👍
Des Dyer is such a cutie....love his smile.
ヴォーカルのディレイをセルフで掛けている人を初めて見ました。
自分も最初、そう思ったんだけど映像で１コーラス目はやってない所を鑑みますと、当時はもちろんテープエコー。なので反復音って結構リアルだったんだ… と思ってた矢先の２コーラス目、思いっきしセルフじゃんかｗ てことは1コーラス目の真相は？ うーん謎だｗ
