Ultravox-Songs erinnern mich an meine Lieblings-Radiosender in Lima, Double Nine. Nur an dieser Station könnten wir so etwas wie diese Musik hören ....!!
Oh wow. This takes me waaaaay back!!! And I am still in love with them. So many songs with such an unique sound. Can't keep your feet still! :) I think I am 30 years younger!!
With his 50's young gentry hairstyle/moustache combo, impossible-to-copy, stiff-neck dance and upper-class smirk, Midge Ure was, IMHO, by far the most original personality in the 80's pop music scene, extremely rich in personalities. A true genius and THE band of the eighties. Reap the wild wind was - again IMHO - the best song of the best UV album.
Shame this legendary Hammersmith Odeon concert is not available on DVD and virtually unreachable in VHS... Only the CD remains...
@RockyBalboa7777 I agree -Midge is unbeatable and I'm a big fan of him, I saw him live unplugged and acoustic in Cracow, Poland Nov 2009 and I absolutely love the artist and the person.
But I cannot agree Matt Bellamy [not Ballamy] imitates him - lots of singers use falsetto, but Matt develope his own unique style and we should be happy the artists of the 80's are still admired but also because there is Matt/Muse it means great music is not dead.

I can imagine myself flying when I heard this song, it is strange because I usually put this tune when I am driving in my car in the mountains, this song has some kind of special magic related to mountains and sky.
@BlackSkyThunder THank you for posting that, I feel something similar. When I hear it imagine a mighty sailing vessel on a huge sea, heaving and rollicking in full glory.
Yeah, the early to mid-80's were cool. I got to see a lot of bands at the Whisky a Go Go, the Roxy & Gazzari's that went on to be big draws. Then the late 80's Hair Metal came along and just ruined everything.
@TheHelena76 Thats weird because I often think that I was born to late, I think this is a horrible era to be an adult in, if you had your young/middle age years in the 80s then you were very lucky
@TheHelena76 ...I was there, saw them in concert '84 - you would have loved it but the times was not so nice. Music lives for ever anyhow - and it is a power for change. Live Aid is proof, I can miss that spirit...
@TheHelena76 you're so right.My dad worked at Toronto International Airport in the 1980's and met Midge! Dad said the same,that he was totally nice,cheerful and down to earth. Hard to believe such a stellar talent and triple threat on lead vocals,guitar and keys could be so modest!
LOL yeah but look at the peer pressure of the time, man. At least he can live with his relatively subdued hair-do. Again compared with some of the pond-life of the era.
Just seen them there. I didn't really like it to be honest. The sound was not as rich as this recording. There were no backing singers to give the haunted sounded "reap the wild wind" so it sounded weak. Also there was no echo.
They were still great but I kept feeling unfullfilled by every song.
IMO, the Messengers are a crucial part of Ultravox...I dont know how many of you have the Messengers CD...but I HIGHLY recommend it...Colin's voice is absolutely AMAZING!!!!! Maybe Ultravox will ask them back for a portion of the tour, altho I would be sad cuz I am not going to be able to see them, but it would so magnify the awesome music....xxxxxxxx
i wonder if messenger are on tour with them to. hope they open up with this like they did in 83. jesus i have goose bumps thinking about it going back 26yrs to being 16 again
my favourite memory of ultravox is standing outside the liverpool empire in 1982 listening to the 1st concert before we went in for the second,unbelievable 2 concerts in one night.Cant wait til the 14th april see them back at the apollo manchester 27 years after seeing them there.
ha ha i remember the same in manchester but the other way round. watching the afternoon gig. then trying to get tickets for later show but ended up listening outside 2 hours later with a 4 pack. roll on 2 weeks from now
Doe anyone remember that free flexi disc of the voice that came out from the Quartet Concert 1982..It was free in a magazine.. I had one bust lost it..just an 80s flashback moment!!
I am coming over from the USA for the 2009 Rtn to Eden tour 2009.. Will be at the Bournemouth gig.. If any fans are meeting up before/post concert then plz let me know..Thanks
check out TORQUE POINT and you will some links about Peter Savilles work(He designed) the Quartet theme) also DESIGN MATTERS ref RIE tour and SET MOVEMENTS 1984 tour..Interesting articles
The thing with some things is that not all things are meant only for one person catching it doesn't make it your property, but to let something wonderful go unshared and unprotected is criminal. To cage or lock away greatness just isn't possible. Some will die trying, but these are the one's to fall away THESE are the one's destined to be FREE.
i want to cry when i think about the fact that the 80's were over 20 years ago...and i was born in 1986. sad, i know. i wish i was born 15 years earlier so i could truly experience the greatness. music and fashion sucks now.
who knows they have not performed together for nearly 25yrs but i hope so as im going manchester and i cant wait. was there in 83 and was one of the best gigs ive been to
Takes me back! This was my first ever live concert! Saw them at the Liverpool Empire Nov 1982. Looked forward to it for weeks - barely slept with the excitement! Such great memories when everything seemed so much easier and life was always rosy!
fantastic! I have just bought two tickets for the 'Back to Eden' show in April (what do you mean you hadn't heard!) and I bet they open with The Voice again... rejoice!!
I find the tempo of the live songs was always quicker than the studio versions,Reap the Wild Wind I thought was exellent in every format,Midge still does a good job when he performs it today albeit much slower
Ladies, I know you saw him look into the camera, smile and show that adorable left dimple!! Well, that was enough for me!!! Midge!!!! And I know you're still sexyhot!
Please don't argue. They both John Foxx, Midge Ure were excellent. They are part of the Ultravox legend. What success means anyway. We Ultravox fans know they were one of the best bands ever!!!!
Nou doubt Ultravox has always been a brilliant and awesome group. The frontmen (John Foxx, Midge Ure) gave Ultravox two different styles and directions that have to be understood in their differnt times. Foxx was post-punk, Midge was New Romantic. Foxx evolved to some kinda cold synth kraftwerkish pop, and Midge took a different direction. But Ultravox the band has always been excellent: Chris Cross (bass), Warren Cann (drums), Billie Currie (keboards, violin)
Llevas toda la razón, aunque los dos pilares de UVOX tuvieran diferentes gustos, o diferentes maneras de ver la música, tampoco creo que cambiaran tanto. Pienso cómo tú, Uvox fueron geniales siempre. No he visto a una banda tocar en directo, como ellos. La gira de MONUMENT, creo que es de lo mejor que he visto en mi vida. Cuando cantan THE VOICE, el final con las baterias electónicas es apoteósico. Lo habré visto como 100 veces, y no me canso de ello.
Hi every one, I was so lucky enough to have been able to see Ultravox live with the Lament tour at Nottingham, utterly utterly brilliant, and the drum quartet they did was just so AWESOME!!!!!!!! Seen Midge loads of times since, brilliant solo, but oh to turn back time to that Nottingham concert!!!!! No doubt about it, Ultravox, Midge, are my all time hero's!!!!!
I was there too soulgirl - you're right the place was rocking! I memorised the song order and wrote it in my jotter at school I was that taken by the whole atmosphere! A real musical awakening for me! Great times!
Excellent gig. Was fortunate enough to be there on the night, about 5 rows from the front. Got the vid and LP as soon as they were released. Lent the vid to an ex and never saw it again and my brother took a dart to the LP. Shame it's never been released on DVD, or the album on CD!
Thank you for posting this, bloody brilliant! Ultravox was one of my favourite bands, I had a major crush on Midge when I was about 13 and pestered my mum and dad to go see them live, but they wouldn't let me go, 20 odd years later I still haven't forgiven them!hehe!
Well there was me trying to find the video to the Monument tour and searched on Amazon, guess what I found one, after viewing it several times I confirmed why I am a hugh Vox fan. Love the smile Midge, smile you are on camera.
One thing that I feel I missed out on because I was not old enough then was not seeing great bands like Ultravox, Blondie, etc. live. Ultravox was a great live perfomance band. I have "Rare Collection" and some of the live recordings are better than studio recording. I got bunch of Ultravox on my ipod & listen on the train. ONe of my favs along w/ New Order, BMovie, Blondie etc. 80's ROCK!
I saw this Monument/Quartet Tour at Southampton Gaumont in '82 when I was 14. I pestered my dad to get me a synth for Xmas so I could pretend to be Billie Currie and do all the quirky moves. Classic.
THIS is the greates Ultravox live performance ever!! I have it on VHS recorded from the television. Thanks for this clip - looks like I have to dust off the tapes this weekend :-D

I saw them in 83ish. It was at the Odeon in Birmingham. Without doubt one of the best concerts I have ever been too.

Hi every one, I was so lucky enough to have been able to see Ultravox live with the Lament tour at Nottingham, utterly utterly brilliant, and the drum quartet they did was just so AWESOME!!!!!!!! Seen Midge loads of times since, brilliant solo, but oh to turn back time to that Nottingham concert!!!!! No doubt about it, Ultravox, Midge, are my all time hero's!!!!!

Excellent gig. Was fortunate enough to be there on the night, about 5 rows from the front. Got the vid and LP as soon as they were released. Lent the vid to an ex and never saw it again and my brother took a dart to the LP. Shame it's never been released on DVD, or the album on CD!

Thank you for posting this, bloody brilliant! Ultravox was one of my favourite bands, I had a major crush on Midge when I was about 13 and pestered my mum and dad to go see them live, but they wouldn't let me go, 20 odd years later I still haven't forgiven them!hehe!

Well there was me trying to find the video to the Monument tour and searched on Amazon, guess what I found one, after viewing it several times I confirmed why I am a hugh Vox fan. Love the smile Midge, smile you are on camera.

One thing that I feel I missed out on because I was not old enough then was not seeing great bands like Ultravox, Blondie, etc. live. Ultravox was a great live perfomance band. I have "Rare Collection" and some of the live recordings are better than studio recording. I got bunch of Ultravox on my ipod & listen on the train. ONe of my favs along w/ New Order, BMovie, Blondie etc. 80's ROCK!

Oh, if I could describe the elation, romanticism, and passion of that time. The music was everywhere

I saw this Monument/Quartet Tour at Southampton Gaumont in '82 when I was 14. I pestered my dad to get me a synth for Xmas so I could pretend to be Billie Currie and do all the quirky moves. Classic.
