Moving Pictures - What About Me? - Live

[dkjdkj74]

A song a lot of people can relate to,,,including me!

[FloydyTube]

I remember hearing this at Uni in 82...

Such a shame that recent covers suck the heart and soul out of it

[Lassyboi22]

I can here this song a thousand times and never get bored amazing

[Lassyboi22]

My favorite song thanks

[n29270]

Saw them in Newcastle(the home of pub rock) in 2011 What about Me sung by Moving Pictures now off the bucket list.

[silvermmon]

Many legal battles and many years latterfor these guys...,Today I look in my local gig guide and see these guys playing at a nearby club. I had to check and see that it was still 2011, yep it is - $30 for a ticket, but I gotta go !

[jeffster111made]

great song!!

[rockn24x7]

This song is so much an explanation of my life.... I have been listening to it since it's release in '82, and it still raises the hair on the back of my neck...! Thanks for posting this vid...

[444Bam]

Such a beautiful song, still brings chills

.....those were the days when music was MUSIC !

[ossiesixtysix]

Thanks for posting this. I'm positive this song was taken from a gig that was shown on Nightmoves. I've thought about that show a lot over the years and wished I'd had a VHS then as I remember being knocked out by how good they'd been live. My memory was that pretty much all the Days album was played and some songs that were on the second album were also included. Be nice if it got officially released one day.

[oausieo]

Great!!, Thanks mate

[jeffster111made]

SOUNDS GREAT LIVE!!!!

[ruawow]

you can tell he loves to sing this song what a performance

total classic

[dawnmac45]

Wow, fantastic performance!! The best!!!

[lostin1982]

Windom mn 1982,What a year Margret Francis!! It will live forever

[kattstoy]

This was from a better time...musically and in this World,we "saw" the music,Alex Smith was wonderful...where is he now?

[78special]

@kattstoy He was down at Dee Why RSL in Sydney last night with the rest of Moving Pictures. Man, still as good as the old days. You are right, it was a better time for music, they were real musicians. And for those under 30, this is what local pub gigs used to be like in the 70s and 80s.

[curetril]

That is quite brilliant for a live performance.

He would have kicked arse on Australian Idol;)

[nirych]

Australian Idol? He would kick arse on the X-Factor over here in the UK! This is the first time I've heard this being sung live. What a refreshing change to hear a band play and sing equal to if not better than the record. Artists today have alot to live up to. Can't think of a word to describe how good this is. :)

[DC4916]

curetril, sadly i dont think Kyle would see the effort that Alex Smith has put into the song, either live or in the film clip. Dicko perhaps might appreciate it, but sadly Australian Idiot (Sorry - Australian "Idol") is NOT about creating real pop stars. Back in the era of all this great music, reailty tv was a show done live, not in the same meaning as today. :(

Please! Take me back to 1982! :-D

[Hairmetallurgist]

This is, indeed, the version MTV used to play, back in the day when they actually played music. It was my introduction to Moving Pictures, and I've been a fan, ever since. Alex Smith's vocal range is phenomenal, and the sound of this band, live, is amazing! Kudos to the sound and production crew for catching, pretty much, every nuance of this song...the timpani were missed, but that fretless bass still sounds great! This version will always be the version I know and love...thanks for posting!

[Oxa90]

CANZONE DI ANNA OXA

ITALIANA

[classie60]

What a sensational live performance!

[beagchic]

Well, I tell ya I have this on betamax and loved it ! Haven't seen or heard this since I went online and a friend suggested you tube and lo and behold, here it is. It's in the faves and evokes memories of a good period of my life and everytime I play it, it brings tears even though it's not from my neck of the woods.

[rjsmith44]

WOW!! This is better than the recorded version or video!! Alex Smith has the pipes!! Where is he these days?

[chngreactn]

what about white people? I t is'nt fair.

[mmaxisaus]

Did anyone see Alex when he came back to Australia a few years back, he did an acoustic set with a few of the original band members.

Was sensational.

[mattman15539]

I have been lookin' for this video since the early 80's I have it recorded on a tape and have not seen this since then. I like this version better then the lp version.

[mohansen]

Wow! The tone and phrasing of the vocals, and the separate focus on the various instruments (especially the synth strings), make this live version really exceptional.

[JediKeSula]

I hate this song more than any other! Worst song ever written. 'What about me'? - SHUT THE FUCK UP!

[tanto76]

GET A LIFE..U FAGGOT...

[reallyboardstiff]

wow what a day first i find the vid. and now i am seing them live. in concert. cool

[alancook01]

I had this on 45 when it first came out. great song!!

[bestreading]

Wow! They sound better live than the record.

[MeAndMyRC]

This was the original video MTV showed back in the day

[thatsit74]

AMAZING VOICE!!!

I was in Australia at 1996, and this was my first time that I've heard this song... since this time I'll never get it out of my head, and now 12 Jears later I have a german version of this song with an original Synfonie Orchestra from Austria it called "was ist mit mir?".... Thank you Garry Frost

[thecaptain2315]

This song is dear to my heart as its the song that represents my first love and the girl who took my virginity at 15 ,in1983... her name was Bonnie lynn Gill from willoughby ,ohio ,1017 garden rd. my dudes Gary allen Smith and his cousin Rob "ski" were a big part of my life when Bonnie and i met jan-13 th,1983.

[TheY2T]

great stuff =D

[BringBackTheEighties]

What an incredible live performance of this song. The crowd are loving it! Rightfully so too.

[bilvis23]

god!!! still love this song..they only played it like 3 times on Mtv..in like Oct '82..i bought the lp the next day in a local drug store..i still have it..miss these days!!..peace...Bill Mc

[HiwayHauler68]

great 80's music...

[Lachiepops]

Alex SMith what a genius! Just listen to those soaring vocals - Shannon Noll could never get close to that sort of gear!!

[paulderbyshire1919]

Agreed, Shannon nolls version was my favorite. I have been looking for the original 4 ages. This guy gets those high notes and then some.

[dentistfreakin]

Hey great post got anymore live m p? one of my fave bands

[xtremelaser]

search for xtremelaser I have most of this concert on YouTube

[number1groovyguy]

ho my god his so cute my friend my best mate was only just born in 1982

[aquwaman2021]

Would of been better if he said "Well theres a pretty boy serving at a counter of a corner shop" xD haha, good song :D

[melindaDoody]

WOW! about the same time it popped into mine too!!!!! I thought I fell asleep on a rerun of CBS COLD CASE which is a show that drags up old songs in super dramatic mostly SAD scenarios. CBS is a network in the USA the reruns are on TNT in the overnights, I keep the TV on and I think one of the epis had this song.  Because now I know I'm not the only one!!!!!! Thanks prev poster!

[skywatch008]

This song popped in my head for no reason this past week. I had not heard it in years, but figured I could find it here. Wow...never heard them live. Alex Smith the singer has a powerful voice. Rare to to hear that vocal range live. Awesome performance.

[GVike]

The sign of a great singer: singing all the high notes perfect like he does in the recording. No going down several notes haha! No studio magic! This man has some serious voice.

[razz1965]

Typical aussie live performance..........if you are shit live Aussie fans will throw you off stage! I'm sure the audience didn't want them to leave!

[petert61]

Where & when did they do this live performance it great

[kenttaylor333]

top song love the girl singing in the crowd

[BrokenWing78]

Is this the same video they used for the release of the song in the US in the late 80's? I swear theres an alternate video MTV played to the AUS one from 1982 but maybe im wrong. Form what i remember it had alot of graphics. I wish someone could confirm it for me.

[rockn24x7]

No, there is a video version of this song that is much like a "movie", rather than a live performance captured. I know which version you are referring to, but I have not seen it here on YouTube. You are right about the graphics version...try googling for it - maybe you'll find it. Good luck!

[missytobin]

I remember watching this on MTV when they still played videos. I loved the song then and still do. What a great memories.
