if id met him when i was 13, there would have been trouble ! i was obsessed with him. kinda had the older man crush thing going on and still have and im 38 now!!! call me peter! lol.
His voice has always been bloody amazing! I just can't believe that this is live! Almost as good as Rush's "Snakes and Arrows" 2009-2010 concert series.
some singers have timeless voices bridging decades peter cox has that voice that fits an exclusive group of decade bridgers... and not only that he is part of an awesome band a smile inducing band go west...pure enjoyment hope they come down under soon
Haha..for a second I thought the actor Willem Dafoe was playing the guitar on 5:16 ! No,only joking... This is some performance! What a Fantastic Live Act!
It's like time stood still!!! Simply Amazing how good Peter' s voice still is! AND don't forget Richard is there too! To me BOTH of the guys are the faces of Go West,not only Peter...Though it's true,he sings more the Lead....and I say it again,in a Fantastic way!
This is awesome. He still sounds great after 25 years. Wow, incredible vocals and range.
Like wine, he sounds truly amazing to this very day. Go West was a great band of the 80s.....and to this very day. They were ahead of their time with famstastic music and dancable tracks.
I have to agree with you jade, peter cox has one brilliant soul voice. he pisses all over most of the crap that are so called singers in the charts today.
Check out Go West's new album "FutureNow" it is absolutely brilliant!!! You can buy it from Townsend Records. You'll love it i promise...they still rock
"Go West" is still my all-time favorite band. I was touring with a band in '84 when I first heard "We Close Our Eyes" - and I love it! Now I have to find out what label they are signed to, and if they are looking for a new deal. Thanks for posting the "live" video. The guys and the band sound great.
I remember this awesome 80's song (and video) being played over and over on our local pub's video jukebox back in 1985 !! Great live performance...great voice !
being a 80's teenager this was one of the great 80's cheese and still a classic. if you live near a REFLEX NITECLUB go because it will be a great night out.
Ooooh, hall monitor....WATCH YOUR GRAMMAR PEOPLE!!! At least he spelled everything correctly. Actually, this reminds me of the days when I worked at Sears. People would come to the catalog desk and ask, "Has my order CAME in yet?" Did they really think that was correct? I wanted to respond, "Well you wait right here, and I'll WENT back and check, ok?"
Agrre completely with TyHayward and Myshreds. New album coming out very soon, and a brand new live DVD on on 24 September!! Do yourself a favour and buy it!!
