Am I the only one watching this in 2023, born in the mid 60s, grew up with the 80s and holding back my tears because that era will never return?
This is simply epic ❤
Meeeeeemeeeeeemeeeeetoooooo😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I was born in 1979 and this has floored me. It is stupendously wonderful and lovely.
1968 here...I miss those days.
1960 here
Watching in 2024. Nothing compares to the 80's.
It's sooooo cool!
Hard to top the 80s.
.....well, the 60's and 70's OVERWHELMINGLY do - Nineties, TOO.....
@ogam5 The 90's was horrible for music for the most part. Rap and grunge

When we see the world now, we realise the 80s as the last era of innocence and life quality.
Someone take me away from this covid nightmare and leave me in 1980s please 😊
me too please!!!!
This is a Job for the A Team!
At the lake front playing soccer in bare feet. This song playing on the beach front speakers.
Amén
Can I tag along please ?
Many of these 1980s artists are still going strong and sound as good as they did back in the day.
I am GLAD I was a teenager in the 80:s truly magical! the music, the films.......
I'm French and I've been listening to Howard Jones since day one. I have all his albums and I never get tired of them. My favorite song is "Hunger for the flesh". This show with the symphony orchestra is magnificent!
Our British stars are so down to Earth.. I love the 80's
born in 72
❤
Can we get every song backed by a full orchestra? This is the best rendition of this song hands down. Gotta love some of the musicians singing as they’re playing.
agree...this is soo cool. Best instumental intro ...fits perfect!

Gosh I miss this kind of creativity that was made then. Today's music is not music.
It depends on what you're listening to. Every generation has good and bad musicians. Claiming what YOU like is the only really quality music is incredibly arrogant. I came of age in the 80s, and remember my parents rolling their eyes at Howard Jones, believing that the music THEY grew up with was vastly superior.
@@dublinjazz1: I think you know what I'm getting at. There's not much creatively in today's music.
Still sounds darn good !
I've listened to today's music. It's forgotten in 1yr. Songs like this is rembered 40 years later. The beatles will be remembered for the next 300 years and more.
The opening arrangement is stunning. I love it when they add strings to pop classics.
me too*
FANTASTIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCC
They took cues from the original, added some flourishes and then made an intro out of them. Masterclass in arrangement.
Yes, a great start and I remember this when it first came out and he played keyboards and sang it. From the High Wycombe area I believe and I played drums with his brother on bass at one point decades ago. Good to see him perform again. I am 67!
A class above is Howard. A voice that wasn't messed around with back in the day and sounding like he's just stepped from 1985. Looking forward to seeing him live in 2022
He is so good. It's really interesting to watch guys age. Some have strained vocals from their sustained octave range, others you get the wear and tear from drugs, others just took care of themselves on both ends. Howard is one of them. Have been fortunate to see him multiple times at the US's largest summer music festival.
@Klemheist 100%. I don't think his has hit the level that so many others have. Love Tom Cochrane but hearing him now, yikes. Howard has well maintained. Ira Davies well maintained. It definitely changes as the vocal cords over the years but it's very noticeable for those that took care of themselves. Drugs, excessive vocal strain for prolonged tours, smoking, etc.
His voice is still there. Amazing track.
Yes Mate. Still like an old vine
I really think he is better now. Truly amazing.
Voice is the same
He ain't singing live
@@smdstr he's lip synching
Goosebumps all the way through !!!! I want to go back to the 80's
Howard's voice is amazing after all these years ❤🎤🎵
I seen him in concert yesterday what class
@@willis2492 would have loved to seen him live.
Such a great singer of all time.
@@reneecalvert4153 Go and see him when he’s on tour you will not be disappointed
@@willis2492 👍
Yesss, is really amazing 🙌🏻
The power of the Orchestra takes this 80's classic to a whole level...Great vocals by Howard also 👏👏👏
extends brilliant song's to the level we know they are,,, CLASSIC
Agree and what an amazing intro, gives me goose flesh
@@annefenn2881 Me too. Excellent intro
He's miming
@@moosewestham Definitely not.
I love Howard Jones! He was my growing up teen years. The awesome 80s
Thank you so much for supporting my career I love you all❤
Stunning! tears of nostalgia rolling down my cheeks.
yep , me too
Howard Jones a pure music genius. One of many in the 80's I don't care if people say I'm old I live in the fact that I grew up in the greatest music decade ever.
Voice sounds better than in 1983! And the orchestra OMG! 🥰
4 people must've pressed dislike by mistake. Absolutely fantastic. Thank you for sharing.
Nah they're the 2000 nobs
best music and era 🤷
The 80’s was the best decade ever!
It was the best decade because I met my wife in the eighties, also the worst decade too , it depends if she’s having a hissy fit or not 😂
One of my favorite 80's songs ever.
Such a talented artist! He sounds as good as he did in the 80’s 🙌🏻
Man love this song, and pretty much anything by Howard in general ... been a huge fan since the early 80's. This version of What is Love with the orchestra is awesome! Gotta love Howard's unique style, that suit!!! I wouldn't even know where to find a suit like that but it's uber cool 😎
His suit does look amazing 🥰🤩 he just gets cooler and cooler, as does his hair! There’s only one Howard Jones!
Try the nearest old dears boutique .
Hilarious. Not.
Just before Howard comes in on the vocals,the 6 beat drum drops gave me the shivers...FANTASTIC..!!
Its debatable, but if there was ever a decade to define, the 80s stands tall above the parapet..💖
Yes !!!!
60s were pretty good too
Let's forget decades and think lifetimes. They overlap.
YES, YES, YES!!
He doesn't come on any vocals he ain't singing
One of my all time favourites, he sounds fab and the orchestra is wonderful! What a song and what a performance 😊❤️
Thanks so much 🙏
Where are you watching from?
Mind-blowing performance 🙌🙌🙌
I never knew an immortal 80s could sound sooooo good with an orchestra!!! But then again, if it was Howard Jones with his hit then I wouldn’t be saying this 👏👏👏
My wife and I met Howard after his concert at the Empire Theatre in Belleville Ontario Canada. What a night, such a very nice person. Signed some CD s for us and had a photo, last thing I said to him as we left was you really still got it, your voice is exactly as it is on my cassettes and CDs I have. If you ever have the chance to see Howard do it. Hopefully you too can meet him, he really appreciates all the fans and has the time to chat with you.
I will do it.
Thank you so much for supporting my career❤
Always loved him.... Brilliant song.. Best decade the 80s
For a long time my over-the-top favourite. I was blown away as a kid by the synths sound. Still today one of the best 80s synth pop songs. He is a great musician.
Beautiful man,beautiful song!!
For me, the 80's were the best!!
Awesome Version of the Song! 😍The Orchestra really does a fantastic Job to support Howards Voice, which sounds still strong. The Arrangement chills me to the Bone. Wish i could have been at the Concert. 😎
What I love about Howard (beside his music) is the fact he believed and trusted in himself so much. His example is simple yet powerful
Howard still sounds GREAT ! And the orchestra, what a WONDERFUL arrangement.
Such an honour to have an orchestra playing YOUR OWN MUSIC. What a legend and what a great track.
I remember going to his concert, as a VERY young boy, with my best friend and parents who knew little about him. By the end of the concert my friend and I were soaked with sweat, jamming to his music, and my parents enjoyed the music so much that they bought his tapes (not records, not CDs,...tapes).
Amazing, tapes.... I remembered it.😉😄
8 track?
@@Moondoggy1941 no, cassette tapes. Look them up. Came after 8 track (smaller, held same amount of music, easier to get to a specific song) but before CDs.
Thank you so much for supporting my career I love you all❤
He is and will always be my hero. So down to earth and humble. Legend!
80s music, the music of my youth. Love it!
OMG without looking you would think you are hearing a recorded Music from decades ago!
Then you realise this is live and decades later still ROCKIN!!!
Wow time has stopped for his voice!
This guy, I mean Mr Howard Joan's is one of the totally under estimated singers of the 80s . He sounds as good even better today . Big love to this man
100% AGREE!!! A gem for sure… and way underrated.
YEAH man - he played solo in Colorado once that I indelibly caught.
One of my favorite song from the 80's and my goodness Howard is great!!
Still has his beautiful voice decades later ❤️
This is the FATHER of Synthesizer! Probably you are not old enough to know what I'm talking about... LOL!
Robert Moog
I definitely love this conductor and the violin player in the foreground.
May well be one of the most perfect songs ever written.
I hope they do this again in 25 onwards it truly is magnificent. It's invigorating.
Always a pleasure to sing along with you, dear Howard!
I'll always be an 80's fan
Thanks you so much ❤️
Been your fan since I was 9 and now I'm 46 love you and thank you !!!!
Amazing orchestration and love the fact that the synth parts and drums are still in the mix great choice is this available on CD?!
I was 8 when this song came out. Still crank it whenever I can. 🙂 a song of total truth to me.
Brilliant - Howard's still got it! Great performance :-)
Howard rocks! This song is like a time machine, all the memories come back instantly.
Love is all I feel, when I watch this great performance!❤️❤️🎶🎶
Aww the sound of the 80s is present with the extraordinary voice of #HowardJones, the best music forever🎵👌☝️♥️
Great song, great arrangement and really great voice. Take me back to the 80’s when life was good.
Great orchestra arrangement :-)
Most impressed with his Voice, lovely arrangement!
@Howard Jone Fine and dandy thank you! Hope all things are good.
@@claresamways9534thank you so much for supporting my career I love you all❤
@@claresamways9534thank you so much for supporting my career I love you all❤
Wow, what a way to bring back 80's music. Nice to see Howard again in good form, love it.
Que belleza y un gran privilegio poder ver a estos hombres cantar ,con esta gran orquesta sinfónica...Maravilloso.
Love everything that Howard has done, but this and Hide and Seek really take me back to a very good place.
Great artist and beautiful song
Such a magnificent performance! The orchestra sounded so smooth as Howard's voice, aged really well!
Fabulous 80's I lived in a musical paradise surrounded by these bands growing up !
Thanks you so much ❤️
God his voice is still great, he sings with his soul and soul has no age... I love him, I wish I were there!!!
This is AMAZING. Orchestral epicness 80s
Only the British...
Why has this not been released as an album?
"Are you going to sing this one with me?" This is what he said at Live Aid to introduce his amazing performance of Hide and Seek.
Yes, he played only that one 😒
This version is haunting and beautiful!
Beautiful song with amazing vocals and music!❤️
When I die and go to heaven imma shake this man's hand
7 years I went to a Buddhist Home Meeting in the North East. 20 minutes after I was settling in and meeting people, Howard Jones walked in !!!!! As in, THIS HOWARD JONES! THE Howard jones! I was shellshocked! I knew he was a long time member of the same Buddhist school but him walking into a small house group of around 10 people was just mind blowing. Turns out he was friends with the group leader, and as he was in the North East, popped in to say hi to the group.
@@droge192 ugh wow honestly jealous, I may be a 90s baby but I grew up listening to the 80, 90, and 2000s, I listened to a lot of albums that would be considered back alley and the moment I stumbled upon Jones I was in love
Loved you Howard and a family member stole my CD,i never confronted them but, thank god for UA-cam X
Yes UA-cam can be a Godsend, but that's not the point.
Always confront family members, otherwise they'll get away with murder if you don't. Ha Ha!
AMAZING! It sounds as the music from a Bond Movie! I just LOVE it!
He even has the same hair cut from the 80 s 😂😂😂😂😂
I really love his voice now. It has soul and depth!
Oh my word this is truly magnificent.
Thank you Howard you still have it & thank God your still singing x
How many people got crabs back in the 80’s 😲
Super !👏👏intramontabile canzone🔝🔝Howard grande artista, grazie per il video👍🇮🇹
Maybe love is letting people be just what they want to be. The door always must be left unlocked.
Several years ago, I went to an Eighties night. Which had Go West, ABC and Howard Jones. I have to say, I was never a great fan of Go West. ABC and Howard Jones, were F**king AMAZING. They took me back to being a teenager in the Eighties. Despite not hearing their songs for year. I remember singing along to every single word to an ABC and Howard Jones song!! They were AMAZING and STUNNING
Thank you so much for supporting my career❤
I swear he sounds better he than he did in the 80s! Nam myoho renge kyo!
British Popmusic is the Best !
Love the 80 Music so much.
Lucky People from Leeds to be able to see all this great Musicans together.
What a great arrangement! Howard still sounds amazing!
He still has amazing vocals! Love him 🤩😍🥰
sadly autotune :(
Howard and their songs in my heart forever. They're part of my story.
Great pop classic piece and you still got it HJ....Woho, woho! 😀
I love Howard Jones! He sounds fantastic! 🎤🎻💿
Thank you so much for supporting my career I love you all❤
Love it - a true classic from a class act - thank you Howard Jones!
J'en reviens pas d'avoir retrouvé cette chanson en live qui était la chanson de mon 1er amour en 1989.👍👍👍🇲🇫❤️
What is love with a classical twist, the attention to detail is on point.. even the electronic hand clap at 3.40!
What Is Love?
/
Lyrics
I love you whether or not you love me
I love you even if you think that I don't
Sometimes I find you doubt my love for you, but I don't mind
Why should I mind, why should I mind
What is Love anyway, does anybody love anybody anyway
What is Love anyway, does anybody love anybody anyway
Can anybody love anyone so much that they will never fear
Never worry never be sad
The answer is they cannot love this much nobody can
This is why I don't mind you doubting
And maybe love is letting people be just what they want to be
The door always must be left unlocked
To love when circumstance may lead someone away from you
And not to spend the time just doubting

You still got it Howard! You will always be one of my favorite 80's artists. I saw you in Portland, OR at the Aladdin Theater in 2009 and you were amazing then too! Much love and respect!
Not many things which can beat nostalgia. This just did! Thank you Howard 🙏
LOVE LOVE Howard JONES, legend!
I had a moment with Howard when I saw him live in TO. We were both singing to Pearl in a Shell. He's utterly brilliant.
Such an aunderrated singer/songwriter. I'm saying this as a 26 year old lol.
I was early twenties in the 80’s (just old enough to get into every Club). WOW!! What a decade.
Sooo beautiful ❤ if I could only go back in time and bring my parents back 😢🕊️🕊️🕊️ I miss the 80s…❤
Thank you so much for supporting my career❤
