The timing in his singing is just phenomenal...

[OPIE916]

A Primo band in their prime!

[thecrawcrawcraw]

One of the best bands of the 80's

[Jason1an]

One of the best tracks from the best year ever for music! Abolute cerrrrlassssic!

[digitalwatcher]

[nistfuk]

[torotio]

[freelightexpress]

[freelightexpress]

Talk Talk forever :) - I stand with all their fans.....Namaste!

[thebillgrundyshow]

i saw them on this same tour as a young 15 year old at birmingham odeon on a warm may evening,absolute class it still lives with me to this day and i even jumped up on stage at the end of the show to try and hug mark to show my love for the performance but i was quickley chased back into the stalls by the roadies,what a unbelievable performance by the whole band,i was so privalidged to be there.

[Nievesitasss]

cómo puede ser q este vídeo tenga ya 24 años??? a mí me parece q fue ayer, siguen siendo geniales, sobre todo Mark Hollis, es un genio!

[rain1701]

das war meine Zeit, Dancing all night long to music of Talk Talk etc.

well these music made me always thinking.......floating away........but it had been a great time with TALK TALK on my headphones all day long.....

[thesardineguy]

I'm as moved by this sound as I was 20+ years ago. The energy Hollis brings to the live performance is incredible. Haunting musical landscapes and lyrics sung from the heart. I know it's been said many, many times but how I'd love to see a reunion or at the very least, Hollis creating again.

[JohhnyStingray1]

Outstanding. Absolutely in their own league. It doesn't get much better than this.

[pablof59]

When brunette, short hair and no sun glasses, Hollis looks like another person, anyway, he sings great with any look !

[Richard887100]

Watching rivers run black by the trees that are vacant to greed

where does love come from if you've sold your reasoning out?

Imagine what he could come up with today!

[tonycatman]

Filmed 24 years ago, and people still commenting on it.

The live performance sounded even better than the recorded version. They got it just right.

Totally fucking awesome.

[marty9040]

its about time mark hollis/talk talk were in the music hall of fame.

[muziekbericht]

can`t discribe the way this feels

Ever seen, heared anything better?

Hey.....Never give it up!!!

Frank

[themoonlitroad]

Just genius. Mark Hollis, please come back.

[SimonDolan]

Magnificent

[nemafann]

boody good song..

[romtobbe]

One of the best acts ever, never goes out of time.

[edismit]

what a big fucker song!!it rocks viva mexico!!!!go talk talk

[brownson1970]

does anyone know where the tube (circa 86) performance has gone?

that was great of course

i think anyone with a serious knowledge of music agree that talk talk have ade some of the greatest earth moving music of modern times

listen to spirit of eden for one, late at night,loud and with a talk talk 1st timer and see what happens!!

its religion!!

[bigworld3001]

I only hope the folks in the audience appreciated at the time how lucky they were to be there!

[cptmainwaring]

I was there. Best gig I ever went to. Where can I get the rest of the recording?

[copeyattamsworth]

Spirit of Eden has not dated; it's remarkable how contemporary it sounds, anticipating post-rock, The Verve and Radiohead. It's the sound of an artist being given the keys to the kingdom and returning with art.

[9MIRELLA]

wery hard sound sofisticate grreep and songs..ok ..fashion and sensuality in every making of..but now we want a new record...come back ..!

[anthonymerrill]

Talk Talk are so underated and secretly one of the best bands of all time!!!

[joel60112]

The best TALK TALK song so far,and what a great performance ! 

Thanks for posting

[jasonspurs]

talking heads were groundbreaking as well

[cleanland]

Can you change your name?!

[cleanland]

I know you won't do it.

[kristinn612]

Thanks Navigante. It seemed to be a great show.

I wish someone could send me the video for the whole concert. Anyone?

[zebramol]

[l0n3w012ph]

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!!! Thank god for newsgroups so I could download the entire album Live in London 1986 in very good quality. It's for ever on my mp3 player. And thanks for posting this one.

[Navegante2002682]

Did you manage to dowload the entire albun Live in London 1986?. Oh, please, tell me how you made it. Thanks. Best wishes.

[ytveo1]

@l0n3w012ph execelente grupo y cancion,,,mexico

[Shithouse1]

Sublime! How great would it be to see these guys make a comeback? Never gonna happen. Boo.

[maverik200497]

cant belive i found this band again, they have a uniqe place in history for brit bands and no-one knows it, YET

[cleanland]

No one knows it, yet?! So who am i? And who are the 2 million who watched " it's my life " and the 1,335.000 who watched " such a shame " until now? And that's without who watched the other videos.

[zebramol]

Complete Right !

[theBESTelvis]

a really awesome piece of music,

such a shame hollis is a recluse these days...

what an amazing talent  the man is.

[Navegante2002682]

Hi there!.

Sorry I did not show around for a long time to thank you all for your comments. I appreciate that and feel happy you like it.

I will post some more clips as soon as i can.

Cheers.

[theBESTelvis]

Mark hollis is a genius.

AWESOME SONG TAKEN FROM THE INCREDIBLE ALBUM..

THE COLOUR WHICH WAS AN 86 MASTERPIECE.

I BELIEVE HE'S A RECLUSE NOW.

[gmansi]

Recluse?

[theBESTelvis]

YES,  FRAID SO

[gmansi]

Ah sorry, I confuse recluse (retired, solitayre with prisoner..

:)

[Vesna1963]

mark,you are the man of my life

[MadnessDixie]

the albums called"the colour of spring"do your homework twat

[seattlebeard]

WOW~!!!

I'm impressed. I've bought all their studio recordings, but never knew they were this good live.  Brilliant!

[cptmainwaring]

saw this gig and it was the best ever. think these guys have a responsibility to try and live up to their talent

[argyllmajorettes]

Lucky enough to have saw them in Edinburgh 86 one of the best live gigs i've seen.

[gmansi]

Fantastic band, great song and a really good live presentation...

[Zigster38]

Never heard this song before. What a great band. This guy is like the synthpop Joe Cocker.

[JohnoEAL]

Fucken Joe-WHO?

[jbaudrand]

After seeing and enjoying this video, I understand why the london 1986's CD is so expensive on ebay...

:/ really wish EMI will re-release it...

[longfade]

I love these guys. My big missed opportunity was not being able to afford Lee Harris's complete Tama Artstar kit when it was on ebay almost 10 years ago. I still regret not being able to buy it; road cases and all.

[Veritas62]

Man, youtube is worth it just for all these wonderful Talk Talk clips I've discovered...boy does this take me back.

After seeing Talk Talk twice on their "It's My Life" tour, it seemed forever until their next album and tour, "The Colour of Spring" in 1986. And who knew that THAT would be the last anybody would see of them, since they didn't tour their amazing "Spirit of Eden" and "Laughing Stock" albums.

Such a shame...they were really good live in concert.

[lilacfoal]

Spirit Of Eden was hated by the record company and they pulled funding. Also, the album had so many sound effects and overdubs (the drums on Desire, for example), Hollis refused to take it on tour anyway citing that the band would never be able to do it justice live (please correct me if this is not true). That said, Spirit Of Eden is my favourite album of all time. Nothing short of a masterpiece.

[whiff1962]

It was really a cutting edge studio production for Talk Talk. Great to listen to while baked.

[Choefoe]

@lilacpoal It is true, they did decline to give in their artistic freedom so the record comp pulled the plug on them they split up in 1991 :-( And the fans all love the album, proves again, records comp don,t know shit...

[jbaudrand]

clearly the most innovative band, what a voice!!!

thanks.

[simonali6819]

This isn't rare footage. This video is on the greatest hits DVD. The rest of the concert... now that IS rare. Wish it would be released.

[DaniReece]

ITV showed the whole concert back in 87 I believe, friend of mine had the video but I assume it is long gone. lets just hope these guys re form for one final tour

[Kesbol]

It also appeared on UK Gold a few years back - its wonderful. I'll need to see if my VHS copy still plays!

[melokc]

Canta igual en vivo!!! la caga

[gmansi]

A qué te referís?

[melokc]

a que canta bien.....

[gmansi]

ahhhhhhhhh ja ja ja

Acá nos expresamos diferente, disculpá.

Saludos

[Rich7714]

Wow, thanks for this rare footage!

[Navegante2002682]

Thaks you all folks for your comments. I hope music like this will come back in the future!. In the mean time, enjoy.

[ovalsonic]

This is music and performance for real... etc..

[faustus999]

excellent song beautifully sang. i would love to see hollis singing again. i would travel anywhere and pay anything to see him perform.

[maaarwal]

génial !!! un fou !!! un génie !!!

[hollydu13]

C'est clair!

[theartist124]

So incredible to see!!!!

Thanks!!!!

[zebramol]

thanks 4 added !!!

[zawirek33]

cza przyznac ze dobry kawalek

[jimeverson]

I have always wanted to strangle the video editor on this one. At 3:21 when the kick @ss guitar bit comes in, the camera is on the bass player, then for the 3 seconds the guitar is quiet, the camera switches to the guitar, then, just as the guitar picks up its second cry, the camera switches back to the bass. AAARRGGGHHH! What the? Anyway, the song is awesome.

[gurkenschnitzel]

One of the best songs in history... makes me wanna be 17 again ...

[celularoja81]

saludos desde chile . talk talk.

[dagga36]

One of the greatest bands ever to slip the net.

success under their own terms (until they split, and the label milked them dry).fantastic!

[Pettenderk]

I would give anything to see them perform live... such strong songs, powerful music.

[BodieLighthouse]

"How I can I learn when I don't understand what I see" sweet lyrics

[SifuStephanDeGlasgow]

With this band, the basslines are always amazing.

[psychonaut2002]

wish they coul´d play -i believe in you- once again live...

i hope they will...

peace thomes

[cloudbuster66]

im 41 now and still listen to talktalk nothing today can come even close to this

[ad586]

amazing

[torotio]

TALK TALK....it's my life!!!

[illicitstill]

I really miss these guys.

[rapmaster]

Great song. Great hair. Although in '86 i probably would have been too caught up in new-wave norms to appreciate that. On another note, did they do any videos for the last 2 albums (Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock)? Can't imagine they did.

[mrchestwell]

Genius

[neilhair]

A great travesty - their greatest though was unheard main stream... 'It's getting late in the evening.' Listen and you'll see what I mean. Wonderful group and wonderful memories. A revival would make my day and then some...

[xtstevie]

Stunning !! Its hard to believe Mark Hollis has retired from music.

[groovehouse]

One of my all time faves! Talk Talk were an amazing band. Thanks for posting this!

[mpaii]

Great song, I heard Sarah McLachlan do a cover of this years ago. Both versions are great!!!

[sacred77]

Love this song, love talk talk!!!

[woefknersis]

Talk Talk...Please come back..we miss you

[gmansi]

Good song, and Marc with a Jhon Lennon look

[Bassmandave2000]

I've never seen this before.Thanks Navegante.
