I saw him play in Brighton last year and he was great. It wasn't the first time I had seen him. I managed to get to the Road to Hell tour three times and saw the concerts for Auberge and God's Great Banana Skin. RTH was a high production value job. This last one was more low key and none the worse for it. It was just so great to see him looking well and clearly enjoying himself. the only disappointing thing was such a brief appearance by his pink Stratocaster. It is quite old now.
I REALLY like Chris Rea's voice and "Texas" is my Fav. (Workin on it- next fav) but man, he needs to look like he's enjoying putting this stuff out!! He's so talented! I've never seen him live, but he needs to have some "life" and meshing with his Band. Fill me in, someone. this is not being mean, at all. It just looks so bland.
Please don't get me wrong, as I've said, I really do like him and love his voice. YIKES!! LOL I didn't realize I was gonna get hit with the wet banana peel from my remarks. But I have enjoyed all the comments cuz it's great to see people passionate about the people they like! :-)
LOL at least we gave you the wet banana peel....I could have used my heavier ammo like i have with other folks on You Tube. Its just the way he delivers and I find it hypnotizing. I guess not everyone can be like Bruce Springsteen with the facial expressions and body language. Hes just amazing. He could wear a potato sack and sing with a bag over his head, and still be sexy beautiful refreshing and a talented song writer genius. ;-) Got it? Peace out sista!
PS...when he looks at the camera, I just melt. And he is still amazing now, even though he has aged. He survived a serious pancreatic illness. God bless Chris!
LOL!! Got it! Just an FYI, don't like Bruce! more into Genesis, Pretenders, Zep. Chris Rea and Michael Nesmith are as "easy" as I go. didnt know he had a pancreatic illness. yes, God Bless him! Take care 2 u 2!
No late-night talk show host did a better job of showcasing music artists than Arsenio Hall. He almost always had them perform two songs plus a lengthy sit-down interview. Today they're crammed into the last five minutes of the show and rarely interviewed. Props to Arsenio.

Chris Rea to me, is way better than Bruce Springsteen. Hands down.
I'm American, by the way and I think he is so underappreciated.

@prettygreeneyed1 I'd argue the two are completely diffrent, but both awesome in thier own ways.

If there's a better live performance of a song on YouTube than this, I've yet to see it.

The way Chris performs just adds to his mystique and charisma. Not everyone has to jump around like a hair band.
