Lol, i love it, he looks like he is about to burst out laughing through the whole performance, if you can even call it that. :D He is just obviously taking the piss, since he hates this lipsync-playback-bullshit. Fantastic song tough. But thats just natural, after all its Chris Rea we are talking about.
I just love this song..I discovered you, Chris Rea in less than a year ago,2010 while browsing UTube and I keep thinking and beating myself up wondering why didn't I find you 30 years ago! I never heard your music in the USA..You have a voice and style that is so captivating..Thank you Chris for being you!! You have given me song that triggers something deep inside of me I never knew existed..Love Ya
Chris has a spiritual vibration in his songs they can lead one to onother state of consciousness,there is nothing like him for sensitive people. so grateful to the universe for sending chris on this planet
As we see Chris Rea perform now and look back at him performing here...we do know one thing that Chris was not a "natural blond"...and I believe he's only gotten better with age just like a "good scotch"....Bob
listen. i am the total chris rea fan and listen to him night and day i have every album and and watched many live performances. i no for a fact that chris rea sings with his eyes closed and i have the dancing with strangers album and its exactly the same. look at around 1 min 12 he misses his Q. also check out tennis on youtube by chris, in the non musoc video version where he sings on a show he stuffs up at the start and throw the middle with the vocals and the guitar
Im a total Rea Fan but his lip sinking was always shocking espcially around 1 min 12 in this one. dont no why he ever even lip sinked any way hes far better live.
A great song - another Chris Rea classic - a song that provided the inspiration for the love of my life over 20 years ago...and today. It still makes me smile and cry! Thanks for the memory!
I have 19 of his 22 CD'd and love almost every one of his songs The other three CD's i cannot get for love or money. Maybe when they are on re-release i will manage to get them.
Sounds like you might be another Chris Rea fan. I have not been able to get "Whatever Happened To Benny Santini", God's Great Banana Skin" and there was one other, however at the moment I cannot remember the name. Guess i'm gonna have to go research his library again.
This is my husband's and mine "Song" first song played and danced to at our wedding over 17 years ago. I also wish that Chris would write more songs like this one - it's what he does best rather than the jazzy ones. Have seen Chris in concert about nine times and I love and adore his voice.
one i had not found! have a look to dailymotion search "parting shots" chris rea in a movie great man singer and so on all has benn said, never mind goin on man and continue to make us happy with your songs

In my top 3 Chris Rea songs:
1. Diamonds
2. Fool if you think it's over
3. Loving you again
Anyone who hasn't heard DIAMONDS, may be surprised to learn it was top 10 in Australia in 1979 but ignored by American radio stations. Idiots!!!

Of all the performances i have seen of Chris Rea i have to say i think he is having a laugh with this one, with the couple to drink!!
