- Prefab Sprout - Cars and Girls live at the Fleadh Festival, 2000. This is a higher resolution capture than the version currently on UA-cam, sourced directly from a VHS capture by Anselm, very many thanks to him.
One of the greatest and most underrated lyricists to ever walk the planet!!!
Agree. Also, check out Cliff Jones and the stuff he did with Gay Dad...superb lyricist!
You're right there. "Lyricist" is a great word and Paddy McAloon is one of the best. His music is superb too. It's a rare combination.
I have to tell it... I still listen to Paddy. Even in 2024 🎼🕺🎶💃🎵 Texts, lyrics, music are so beautiful. ❤
No auto tune needed. His voice sounds just like the recording. Love Prefab Sprout’s music. Reminds me of happy summer holidays as a kid in the 80’s.
This guy kills it every time, live or on record, sign of true class. Sprouts were under rated band of their era.
Yes they were. Doing very little touring did hurt their brand and sales.
@@la7dfa They were too fragile/twee/weedy to go on the tour circuit
sad thing is this concert really got them noticed and was played a lot on TV and people realised what a talent this guy was but it was the last concert. I remember seeing this at the time and being bowled over at how good they were.
No excuses, no drama, just a flawless and rare live performance. Artists of today, take notice !
God I adored this tune from my teens, it resonated so much with the area that I grew up in! A tender pisstake but filled with heart & resonance, that was the 80,s. Fabulous.
I think people there don't realize they are watching a legend...
Could be because it's a festival crowd. They wouldn't all be Sprout fans.
Sonido Santo wish to fuck id have known or id have been there. Shankill road on tour 🇬🇧🇮🇪🏳️🌈
They don’t, but thank god How Much WE DO 🙏🏻❤️💪🏻
pop legend oui c est sur
pretty much, but only for conoceurs.
Love them, takes me rite back to my teen years, i m 54 now.😪
❤❤ I AM WATCHING MY LEGENDARY BAND LIVE!!!! CAN'T BELIEVE IT ❤❤
One of the best songwriters ever, so underestimated.
True words.
He has a great voice.
wow his voice is just like the record !! amazing
I know. He even nails the falsetto stuff. Pretty incredible professionalism.
@@airbagabe Paddy's voice still rocks but can't replace Wendy Smith voice , she should be back .
This live version is just infectious, can’t stop tapping my foot. What a band, what a writer.
Hell yea
2022 a ver e ouvir desde sempre adoro
Perfect true class perfection
Not like other. Shite
And looks so cool.too
@@melburchell7602 totally!
Never thought this could be a song good to play live..indeed it is a great version with so mich drive! Chapeau!
Can't believe how good this is
One of my fav songs in 66 years of life...
Legend
One of the most underrated band in the World.
To be honest, wasn't expecting it to be that amazing.
As a kid of the 80's and deeply emersed in British bands, I never stumbled across Prefab Sprout growing up in the S.F. Bay Area.. In 2004, I read an article that Curt Smith from TFF had major respect for them. I purchased Steve McQueen and felt like I had been given a gift of sonic gold in the form of delayed delayed gratification. I soon purchased all their music in a matter of weeks. The level of talent, and catalog of truly spectacular tunes from Paddy and the band is something glorious.
they are incredible aren't they - and nobody's ever heard of them !!!
One of the very best song writers to come from Britain. And certainly the very best unknown song writer. Utter genius.
Matthew Kruger Steve McQueen is a pot Gold, an invitation to an endless and living journey. PS is definitely to be discovered and valued by all the ones who long for a personal journey. All my ❤️ for PS and their Fans
he looks like Jeff bridges in the big Lebowski in this video
I hope you are enjoying Paddy.....cheers.
A superb writer of sophisticated pop songs.
Amazing band, song, hair and live performance.
one of the most melodic writers needs more attention than he gets
Correct! Attention and respect!
There ISN'T a melody as such - just singing around bland chords...........
@@bernardbaker6803 listen to i trawl the megahertz and revisit your opinion.
@@armadill00 I have - test card music for aspergers. Try Eno or Philip Glass.
It’s amazing the voice still the same.i like it now more relax and cooler.than the self in the 80s
Some voice 20 plus years on. CLASS
This is the legendary band from the '80s that did produce excellent quality music that I still listen up to now.
I have a new appreciation for this song......
His voice sounds amazing on this.
This band is genius even in lockdown 2021 ❤️
He is an amazing song writer. Paddy and Paul Abbott are such fantastic song writers and I love their quirky lyrics.
This guy is brilliant. If you don't think this is talent, you are clueless.
Totally agree man
x 1,000,000
i am glueless yet i agree.
Rob Mack
I've come unstuck too, and I also agree.
Check out the band, Sproutless. I hope you discover three records bursting with songs in "the key of Paddy".
One of thee great songwriters. A master of melody and harmony. Genuis...
Canta igual que en los 80’s su voz maravillosa aún!!!❤️...que tiempos donde las letras lo decian todooooo...👏👏bella epoque...
What a masterpiece!!
Paddy McAloon & Spefab Sprout from good old County Durham in the North East of England brilliant 80’s band 👌👍👏
They sound so good after all these years.❤️
Who's watching in 2020?
2021 😊😍
May 2021...from Lima Peru.

2021 and every year since I first heard them in college in 1985.
Thumb up for Neil Conti on drums
He's incredibly tight, love him on all the early recordings.
Yes indeed! Take care Neil, Sam X
Yes indeed thanks.
BEAUTIFUL BAND! LOVE U FOREVER PADDY & PREFAB SPROUT. My great music influence of all time!
I as there - I loved going to the Fleadh in Finsbury Park - Prefab Sprout were always one of my favourite bands so I was so happy to hear them sing live.
Sublime talent. Magnificent voice. Stunning writer.
Magnificent song !
So talented yet so underrated. Great band
I was there. The man, the group, the performance was legend.
These chills, when it hits me, that once I was a young soul...
This was 12 years after Langley Park was released; it’s been 20 years since this performance 🤯
Best Band ever 80s
Prefab Sprout are just a joy to listen to very clever lyrics combined with that signature melody they have.Steve McQueen and Jordan the Comeback are total masterpieces.I wish they,d played more live gigs would love to have seen them.
Powerhouse drums and bass. What a rocker underneath these cool lyrics.
I was there! I have seen them more recently and I do think his voice is improving with age
Ohhhhhhhh Live soooo amazing..heavens not waiting now... AWESOME!!!¡!!!!!
Hard to believe that more time has passed since year 2000 than when this track came out up to year 2000.
more, much more
very very weird
WOW... they sounds GREAT live!!!
Wonderful, and as good live as he is on record. Steve McQueen one of the best pure pop albums ever.
Love the sprouts. Brilliant songs. Amen
Not only is Paddy a songwriting genius, his voice is incredible, perfect live too.
I envy his hair!!! Brilliant after all these years.
great songs sung from the heart........that is all an artist needs to be.
The most underrated songwriter of all time I think. Cheers.
Top band! Great performance.
My soul will drift back to the 80's when I'm gone.
Brilliant song - brilliant performance!
brillant band, brillant voice, i just love it,
Paddy has turned into Jeff Bridges.
antifolkhero hell yeah that´s amazing. What a singing voice the dude has?
+antifolkhero Or Kurt Russell in the Thing!
+antifolkhero LOL
+Shaun Barry R j macredy
Indeed!
Lovely lovely Paddy. My go-to driving, working, relaxing music.
Absolutely great
the best voice..
One word: Brilliance.
Holy shit. Unbelievably good. Unsung genius.
This version really ties the room together.
Fuckin A !
I love these guys ....Always have ....remember exactly where I was when I first heard them .....Earls Court , London ....Heaven
great song and music :)))
Great song... All time faves 😎
Amazing. It goes straight to my heart!
une immense tendresse pour ce groupe que je suis depuis 1985 depuis le titre "when love breaks down"
Vus en concert pour la tournée Jordan the Comeback à Paris. Magnifique souvenir.
Definitely underrated!!!
Adoro questa canzone💚
E loro sempre bravissimi 💪💪💪
Voce stupenda 💚
What hurts more is knowing that I’ll probably never get to see Paddy live. Amazing that this was 22 years ago. Their final show.
my god... what a voice!
Amazing!!
loving those glasses, amazing
What a beautiful and euphonic chord sequence.
still sounding amazing
thank you for uploading...!!!
Sin duda alguna cuando el talento es único de quien lo posee es invaluable,y aquí se demuestra xq prevalece +fuerte q nunca,apesar del pasar de los anios y esta interpretación y todo lo q el hizo es una verdadera OBRA DE ARTE.
I had the privilege of seeing PS in concert in Belgium around the time of 'Jordan'. A quality experience ! Met them afterwards, they were all really nice though I didn't dare approach Wendy ! And weirdly enough I asked Paddy for an autograph without recognising him ! He had the hood of his parka well up ... Anyway sorry you didn't see them live as you'd have loved it !
Still listening in May 2022 ❤️❤️❤️
What an incredible voice he has here. Also it's nice to see Nick Lowe on bass again after all these years, plus Ben Elton does a great job on the keys and who knew Craig Revel Horwood could drum like that?!
Very clever.
A pesar q, pasaron un poco los años ,el vocalista canta tan bonito ,como antes ,felicitaciones,son lo máximo 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful just beautiful !!
Good look and Good Performance.
Omg incredible , love love love love this song 🎶
This song is a masterpiece!!!!!
Brilliant Paddy!!... but we still miss Wendy!
Awesome song, awesome songwriter.
I was THERE! Look for the incredibly handsome African-American gentleman. Wait... The ONLY incredibly handsome African-American gentleman!
Like your sense of humour and your taste in music. You're not wholly unattractive though!
I would have been there and given you the head nod!
I love this group. Brilliant.
Beautiful Band! My deep music influence! Thanks 4 all Paddy! & PREFAB SPROUT!
Absolutely brilliant, loved this group.
Fantástico... que bien conserva su voz!! Larga vida a la banda!!!
What an band. Truly unique and they sound soo good live.
Its just a pitty that there female singer Wendy is not with them at this concert.
what a sense of melody... in the 80s we really enjoy this band in France
