This was one of my favorite songs when I was a teen, and still is. I have listened to We Run & Worlds Away around a billion times. They were my favorite songs in my youth. I still love them as much now as I always have and always will. I'm so sad I didn't know you were playing in my hometown (Mississauga) the night before we left for our 19th anniversary trip. I would have done anything to have seen the show.
When Canadian electro-pop is made fun of, I like to remind people of a time in the '80's where Strange Advance were pretty much the whole genere. Thank you for the continuation, I think we all need this music!
@@YahWay. No it does not. Why even mention "that cool band from Scotland"??? ??? Is this in a different comment somewhere? Your comment sounds like you are claiming they are from Scotland, eh?
Strange advance is one of Vancouver BC best bands, they started around 1982 and hit the big charts with this song, WE RUN. Their much older now but still sharp as a razor. Bravo, BRAVO!!!😊❤😊
Wow, his voice is.... awesomely the same as it was 40 years ago! Such a beautiful and classic Canadian song - I played this album to death at the time. I didn't know they still tour? I'll have to keep my ears open for that.
I'm so glad to see this band is alive and well! I foolishly thought they were a long forgotten band from the 80s. With this video/concert I was HAPPILY proven wrong!
Just got notice you're coming back to Vancouver Island. I'm there!!! You sound exactly like you did in 85!! 2WO is one of my favorite albums of all time. Great memories!!! Always thought you were ahead of your time!! Cheers!!!
One of my all time favorite songs in this whole life, forever. It meant so much to me when I first heard it and it helped me pull through tough times. The power of music. Thank you for this song.
Can’t believe how they managed to sound like the original track! Unbelievable for a band after all these years to sound like this. Absolutely transports me back in time when life was good
Great video of SUCH a great song! This is always on my list of crucial songs that had an impact on me when I was younger. To be able to attend some of these shows to see and hear it played live again...that's huge! Thanks, Drew and guys!
One of the greatest songs of the generation. Saw it performed live in Kitchener in 1987ish. And this version was super high quality. They still got it!
Oh man I wish I was there in Vancouver BC to see strange advance live at the old Hollywood theater. I didn't know they would be playing live that August night. Wow he sounds as good as back in 1985!!!! One of the very best bands of Vancouver BC Canada. Love this song, and the British band : When in Rome, and their big hit song ,The Promise. 🇨🇦😜😜🤸🤸🤸🤸👍👍😲😲
This and Worlds Away are high on my 80s soundtrack of most memorable songs. I still remember seeing them in concert at Ontario Place Forum summer of 85.
My god they sound fantastic. Flies me back in time, flew out to Vancouver for months of 7 day weeks rushing to get the Ontario Pavilion ready for Expo 86. It was a time of so much music, and MuchMusic. Much simpler times. How did Drew not stay front and centre of Canuck New Romantic music for decades, and suddenly reappear like this? .
I was 19 I got into some trouble with the Law scared as shit when I got out not knowing what to expect I bought a Walkman and asked the Lady working behind the Till what was good she pointed this Tape out I had Money in my Pocket but I choose to take a Cab to the outskirts of Thunder Bay and started walking down the Highway with a light rain coming down as it got Dark with this playing I straightened my Life out but this put a lump in my Throat.
It breaks my heart to feel what I missed because I had a VIP ticket to see this, dog friendly hotel and all booked via Ed...but I caught that nasty COVID...If I had the chance I'd do it again in a heartbeat! (Without the Covid, of course)
The track was recorded live on the last night of the tour, and the video was edited to that recording. So what you hear is the band live but there are images from 4 different shows

Holy Sh1t. These guys sound as good as 40 years ago. His voice is still great.
He sounds better now than in the 80’s! Go listen to their Montreal show on UA-cam. Much better now than when they started.
Great song from a wonderful time in my Life. Nothing will ever be better than the 80’s! Thank you for sharing and Godspeed to all.
best decade ever.....musically then it all went to merda
And Canadian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm 68 years old and still love this song. Always takes me to a happy time full of fond memories. :)
Used to dance my lil feet off to this in the club.
I hear that good sir! And just a little ways behind you in years.

NOT ALL OF US...

@@YahWay. This band is Canadian, eh? Are you talking about a different band with the same name?

Every time I hear this song I’m just flooded with great memories… Thanx 😊
Great song. Well done guys--And so many years later. I must also admit that I'm especially partial to the slap bass.
This is fantastic. And the fan footage makes it so much more intimate.

It is so good to see this Canadian band still around in 2023 - I bought their cassette back in 1985! And still listen to them to this day
He sounds absolutely amazing live.
Bands like Strange Advance and Tears for Fears, out there showing they still have it is great to see
Grande strange advance.ke recuerdo de cancion.80.saludos desde chile.
I'm so glad to see this band is alive and well! I foolishly thought they were a long forgotten band from the 80s. With this video/concert I was HAPPILY proven wrong!
Just wonderful. These guys can still play and SING can't they?
I never get tired of hearing this song.
No one could have sang this song better than you folks. Thank you!!!
This is still fresh and a great piece of Canadian music history.
So many memories with this song and so awesome to hear it recently performed! Thank you❤
Just got notice you're coming back to Vancouver Island. I'm there!!! You sound exactly like you did in 85!! 2WO is one of my favorite albums of all time. Great memories!!! Always thought you were ahead of your time!! Cheers!!!
I said same thing....close your eyes you can't tell it's not 40 years ago.
Make me proud to be Canadian 😊....but seriously it is Still after all those years...Soooo good thanks you for that! 😊😊
One of my all time favorite songs in this whole life, forever. It meant so much to me when I first heard it and it helped me pull through tough times. The power of music. Thank you for this song.

Reliving my teenage, and early adult years listening to this song……such wonderful memories.
He looks and sounds timeless. I encourage everyone to go down the rabbit hole of Canadian music over the decades. So many hidden gems!
So great!!!! Thanks a lot with love and greetings from Germany, Hannover
Boy, would we love to play in Germany!
I like the live version in Montreal from the 80s
OMG! quel Band Canadien Extraordinaire!! j'adore cette chanson ❤❤.Une voix exceptionnel même après tout cs année!!!💋💋
This song means so much to me.
I can't thank you enough for this wonderful musical poem.
Minimalism is GREAT when done properly! They seem to understand this & still do it (We Run) in this style (understated), which is perfect.
One of the best songs of all time in my book❤. 2023? They sound just as amazing as the day this first hit the airwaves.
Que excelente canción, y mejor versión live!!! Nunca la había escuchado!! Perfecta perfomance!! Saludos desde Argentina 😊
Great video of SUCH a great song! This is always on my list of crucial songs that had an impact on me when I was younger. To be able to attend some of these shows to see and hear it played live again...that's huge! Thanks, Drew and guys!
Love it! I was at the Maxwell's show in Waterloo.
One of the greatest songs of the generation. Saw it performed live in Kitchener in 1987ish. And this version was super high quality. They still got it!
A lot of love from Brazil!!! Thanks for this song!!!

What a great version! Holy shit you haven't lost a step. This is really tight. You have to come to Montreal.
We will most definitely.
Tick Tock
Wow Drew still has the same voice 😊
When you coming back to Ontario
Is that really Drew Arnott?!
IN the flesh!
Please put your music back on Spotify!
Still on Spotify 😉
I heard somewhere this song was about a dream the lead singer had.
My gosh I thought he was lip-synching for a while it was so good.

@@strangeadvance52 Is there a live CD/ Download release of this show?
