[ShiRaffy]

awesome!



[filippodavi1964pa]

Nö dop no Hop

[Boyke07]

Sometimes he slides into Carlton-Dance. So funny.

[SoulTigress]

I bet that drummer was knackered afterwards... :)

[VR000000M]

As you can hear and see, the keyboard is a Mellotron!

[manuwasinet]

hihihi wie er abgeht. wie ein zäpfchen..

bin zwar erst fast 17 aber ich liebe irgendwie alte musik...

damals gabs noch musik... jetzt ist es nur noch krach ..

forever 60er-90er *_*

[woaod]

@manuwasinet

interessiert jetz jeden das du 17 bist und alte music hörst gibt auch heute noch music musst nur wissen von wem 

[CaendraMae]

Als ich mir diesen Auftritt vor wenigen Tagen zum ersten Mal ansah, konnte ich mir das Lachen nicht verkneifen. Das nenne ich mal Leidenschaft. Oh ja. Er ist enorm "bewegt" von der Musik. :-D Er singt, fühlt - er IST dieses Lied - das aber auch echt schön ist. ^_^ Ich mochte es schon, als ich gerade mal halb so alt war, wie jetzt. *Däumchen hoch*

[heisserreifen]

@CaendraMae Ja so ungefähr ging mirs auch. Aber da fiel mir ein, das ich früher in der Disko genauso rumgehoppt bin als MEIN Lied kam. Egal was da grad die andren von mir denken.

MoO ist eins der geilsten Lieder die es gibt.

[CaendraMae]

@heisserreifen Ja, da gehen die Glücksgefühle und Gliedmaßen mit einem durch. *lach* Jetzt bin ich aber neugierig: Was war denn Dein Lied? :)

lG

[heisserreifen]

@CaendraMae Hihi das hat sehr oft gewechselt. Meistens grad ein Kracher der in war. Darum hab ich das mit "mein Lied" umschrieben :-)

[BATFASTARD1000]

God you had to be there lol

[hoLqi86]

Sieht aus wie die ersten Hardstyle versuche :D

[hoLqi86]

Wie er abgeht xD

[artemyssa]

the dance does not really make sense with that song... i don't get it...

[vitoar]

@artemyssa

it´s emotion mate. He doesn´t really sing this song... he lives that song and that´s what he doesn´t try to hide. It´s amazing how he can forget all those people and simply give his emotions a free run.

I love this song so damn hard

[samuAvenue]

Der sänger wirkt leicht hyperaktiv

[TheClaudia1312]

@samuAvenue aber nur leicht.......=)

[junojockey1]

Andy`s famous windmill dance!

[MrAllanchiass]

coke?

[BinLuser]

Das ist noch mal echt schönes Musik TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP

[12345692625]

[12345692625]

[Gororco]

look, it's carlton in disguise.

[xxSOFTISxx]

omg..

[Deano647]

MCluskey obvioulsy took to heart the famous quote from William Purkey

"You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,

Love like you'll never be hurt,

Sing like there's nobody listening,

And live like it's heaven on earth."

This track farkin rocks. The dancing completely farkin rocks.

[ondrejT]

Even communist Czechoslovakian state TV had shown this clip in mid 80's

[s3xyelf]

AMAZING how OMD knew what a 56k modem connecting to the internet sounded like in 1980.....

[nahim55]

great drums

[theseus27]

Wow, an absolutely great song by OMD!! One of their best! I've even got the vinyl 45rpm record single of it too,and CD albums!! :D

[rclc3]

this is pure memories, thank you toyjames

[cirius32832]

This Live Version is a little faster than the album version. i really love it

[tht707]

Amazing, thank you! :)

[1latdance]

Amazing song!!!

[tumaneria]

i was born that year but i was lucky to hear that music in the beginning of 90s when we still have a non democratic country named POLAND, good to reminisce, good to know that someone is taking care of unique artists who made the biggest influence of a electronic music generation - best music always from UK

[cresshead]

fantastic song, drumming and amazing ragdoll/ian curtis style dancing

[Putzon]

Brilliant song

[badger621]

Saw this last night in NYC and it was the highlight of the evening. Phenomenal.

[jonevanswhu]

Influenced Ian Curtis (Joy Division)

[stuartnickie]

didnt realise andy mcluskey had epilepsy!!

[Debz555ify]

Brill!! :-D

[tomyyboyy]

OMD on tour in North America go to "omd.uk.com" for tour dates and other information!

[ZoltarTheFeared]

Undeniable proof that they not only nailed it live but brought a new intensity to each song. I have loved them for the past few years, but once again, I'm floored anew.

[weimyteam]

Amazing quality for a live performance. Thank you so much for posting this.

[mpresev]

Carlton Banks j.k. 

[simionTheOne]

fuckin hell

how the hell do you perform a song like this

in a way like this live o_o

f*ckin brilliant

[NYFMA]

This beautiful song always seems too short to me. Can't such awesome music go on forever?

[robert0414]

superb!

[yube40]

[silentmod]

ein tolles lied u der drummer ist spitzzzzzze!!!!!

[GWERDLE2]

Very Epic-very awesome-Absolutely great quality why can't every song uploaded to U Tube be this good.

[FreddeBajen]

[HammerofHeavyMetal]

that dance rules the fukcing WORLD

[kingdisney]

To say that I worship this song would not be an overstatement. I LOVE OMD!!!

[kingdisney]

I can't believe someone posted this online. For years, I've been telling my wife about seeing OMD in concert in Salt Lake City back in the late 80's. I've told her that my dancing was completely influenced by this performance. To you toryjames, thanks a million times over. You've made my day, week, month. I will treasure this forever.

[DonneGT]

damn - the drummer is f*king great! the whole song is f* great!

[Arbagon1]

E P I C

[ColumRogers]

One word.

MAGNIFICENT!!!!

[bnorth1000]

Sometimes music can give the dual high - physical and mental -mostly it does not here -judge for yourself......................­...

[Besokster]

Love this tune... amazing

[gk954183]

Greatest song of its time. Big Ta to OMD.

[RondaGP]

Holy crap I love this!!

[STONEYBROKESTILL]

Fabulous song.....but what is he ON?!!!!

[varsume]

[SimMaster]

that dance fuckin rules

[cezarix]

[cezarix]

[varsume]

A little to much coke

[elianeNR1]

[gatasucia]

[aaaaarrghhh]

omdma :)

[davech42]

[marysiuuu]

[TrainNico]

funny dance ;-)

& FANTASTIC MUSIC

[dudo101]

Fantastic. Malcolms drumming is awsome

[cazzodicanio]

Amazing song!

[hoggie0]

I watched and listened to this about 10 times now and just love every bit of it!

[bossanovachacha]

I love his posing and - of course - the song.

[usrrname1]

Lovely comments.... Music is a reminder time line and OMD takes me back riding down the boulevard, top down and their music sailing in the wind. Good times indeed!

[tslsales]

Sometimes genius just comes out any old way. This music is so good you just feel like letting it all go!!! Got to laugh though. He did this a few times on stage I am sure he was just enjoying himself.

[k1ngross]

I love the drug-fueled 80s dancing

[vazjam]

I think he must have been on drugs or summat...such a shame for such great song...boo hiss and jeer...

[k1ngross]

Probably one of the reason why is IT a great song, lol.

[Richied4781]

That guys of his rocker, tha dance is so class

[psiconauta21]

Music from a wonderful era. In this age of emo's reggaeton, happy punk and other shits this is a diamond

[owlman33]

Back in the day ..I liked em for the sound. Nowadays I appreciate the intellegent lyrics and realize the real artist that these guys really still are. This music should be around and loved for eon's......

[wageddes57]

Haunting yet absolutly brilliant, nothing sounded like it before, and nothing has since, a masterpiece

[Teresadaniella]

lol, seems so long ago.

[markydjh]

Great tune - we all danced like that in the 80;s new sound new era funny how time changes things still love OMD though

[richieroxx666]

I saw OMD three times backin the 80's and they truly epitomize the vibe of the era. For me it was about getting tkts ,getting an 8ball and trippin to the show! And I swear to the god of time and space I feel the exact same way now 26 years later as I did back then leaning up against the bar in my blacked outfit oh so tight with the electric blue shiny tye and scruffed white capezioses waiting for the big titted barmaid to getmy sex on the beach pitcher before omd got to their finale!yes!!

[oxiigen]

Indeed, drummer is amazing! I was sure that drums play machine on their LP! :)

[rudeEMOboi]

*lol* i really like this song. but he dances like the most stupid white guy ever

that white guys they make fun of in movies :D

[rudeEMOboi]

look for dutch idol

[rudeEMOboi]

the drummer seems to be pretty good

[fastskyr34]

Andy puts his heart and soul into the song!!! His voice is haunting and the lyrics are so poignant!! OMD are legends!!!!!

[unclewaynebob]

I saw them in south Africa some time in the mid 90's. They also did Maid of Orleans and Andy danced just like this. At first we laughed but by the end of the song we all had tears in our eyes, so powerful was the performance. I'll never forget it as long as I live. What are the cahances of coming to SA again guys??

[88711229]

we love you so much O.M.D. do you have a world tour concert schedule in the philippines? we are here waiting for you Andy and paul and to all the group of O.M.D

[Sinfiea]

The hair styles, clothes and possibly the dancing (Think Joe Cocker from the sixties)will fade, but the music of OMD is forever. Great singing and composition. One of my all time favorite bands...80's of otherwise.

[roddy76to86]

I was always a sort of part time OMD fan, just through apathy really, there were so many bands starting up and "producing the goods" about 1981. But this performance is unbelievable, I wish I had been there.

Sadly now you'd be lucky to get "one Omd" every five years or so.

[littlemegs14]

wich date was this

[thegoldenyear]

Not your average dancer, our Andy. And not your average band. Greatness.

[cherifchel]

No wonder he's so skinny froim dancing like that! LOL

[iveco321]

the synth's power really opitomises the 80's in this track. brilliant

[fodigie]

I forgot how good this band was!! Awesome !!

They don't make music like that anymore!

[HopalongC]

Excellent stuff

[hajj74]

this is fucking amazing! much better than the studio ver. timeless dancing..hahah..thanks so much OMD

[transfobby]

they were touring last year...you are absolutelly fabulous, boyz

[feverel]

Simply.... Ufffff!!!

[arabepalestino]

By the way, nice dancing! And the drums own this song. =D

[arabepalestino]

This crying voice live version is the best one! OMD's live songs are way better than the studio ones.

[alicwasere]

who needs drugs jus dance like this fella :)

[transfobby]

that's how I dance on ectasy

[DeGuvner]

thats how i dance normally!!

[shawpip]

when times were good

[noemieX]

C'est Sweet!

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark... mmmm.

[AkiLLesChamp]

Finally got to see this on video

[translite2]

Great performance of one of their great songs!

[Triop73]

WHAHAHAHAAAAA LOL !!!

[schaubp1]

C'est géant! What for a reminder. Thank you toryjames

[scbcambcobbler]

He isnt on drugs - that is how he still dances to this day - he was once told by his doctor that he could die if he didnt tone it down. A true legend. Class

[sladder87]

lol The Singer should take no Drugs like these looks hilaarious

[youset1983]

pure perfection! one of the greatest songs ever.

[ssnowmon]

Just brilliant! Pop in it's purest form. No pretentious crap.

[IandIMusic]

can we get more songs?

[terencehooper]

is ahrzamanbalasy using an islamic code of total bullshit or is he real!

[misfitszombi]

can i just say that i am only 14 and this is just so wonderfull in so many differnt way and i dance like that wen im on the razz lol

thanx toryjames

[thewhiteroom23]

OMD are totally underrated. This is a classic. Nice dance aswell! LOL

[DarcJeann]

Sometimes things that appear odd or funny are very beautiful, if one has the courage to disagree with the mob and to see how these things are brilliant and true. This is a lovely song and a nice vid. Thank you, ToryJames.

[nosferatu407]

what a dance xD whahaha it still is a great song

[Lukash1410]

nice dance ;D and song

[AHRZAMANBALASY]

OMD - !!!!!!!

[SGustafsson]

amazing song!

[etaman12]

i think the leadsinger is gay because of his stupid dance

[AHRZAMANBALASY]

i think the  etaman12 is DOLBOYOB/ДОЛБОЁБ because of his stupid words

[vikingecske]

Funny moves, great tune :)

[husse]

I always thought this was Joan of arc, but as I can see now there are two different songs: Joan of arc and this one Maid of orleans. Is this correct?

[heidbaw]

Made the same mistake myself mate, only found out this was maid of orleans when the pub got a new jukebox. Happy New Year.

[barnaymar]

Uno de los mejores grupos de los 80, una pasada.

[lacatapulta]

OMD es el mejor grupo musical de la historia y Juana de Arco la mejor cancion. Impresionante

[telkines]

The 80´s were the Best!

[linclinc5]

Dances like a student teacher....( geography's his subject)lol

great band

[RafaelAmaros22]

I love the theme Joan Of Arc. The new generation, like OMD in England, is asking about forgivness about how they treated Joan Of Arc.

Feelings combinated with electric harmonies are always fantastic.

[ssnowmon]

Andy McCluskey is one of the most under-rated songwriters ever. Whenever I hear any of his songs the term perfect pop always springs to mind.

[dischordantbelief]

Superb! Andys dancing cracke me up though, he looks like a cross-between Shakin Stevens & Joey Deacon.

[200200200200]

Timeless Sound. Playable in every Situation of living.

[DENBO36]

mit dieser geilen Musik bin ich groß geworden.. Danke : )

[twilight0406]

Ich auch, ich fand OMD schon immer super!

[Takemeintoyourskin]

I love the dance. =D

[stollus]

Dance fool Dance! hehehe

[BUNGLEZIPPY]

was only 9yrs old when this song came out,brings back some great memories

[sergrod1]

greattt song, nice live version. hahaha that 80's white boy dance is so funny. There you go whiteboy, your props.

[terencehooper]

a frenzied frollicker-brilliant voice-brilliant band-brilliant song-memorable!

[duckorange]

Fantastic. Andy is a *unique* dancer, isn't he?

[violator9]

he sure is in this vid......do you think he is on something?

[sergrod1]

I do not thin he is into something but his dance must be a tribute, just like Jim Morrison did his native american dance. Andy seem to do this dance live when ever he sang this song. It is funny but at the same time kind of fits the song and the rythm.

[ricksenes]

Einfach G E I L !!!  :-)

[ertvgieutzrhetkgerzt]

Nice Song :)

[Kingcoinhunter]

fantastic group . Superb . They made some unique great songs.

[thehypothesis]

I have been an OMD fan for many years but I have never see them live - I f_cking love it!

[karldotcom]

I saw them open for Depeche Mode at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena....

[thehypothesis]

I can't wait til this new DVD comes out.

I like Depeche Mode's older stuff...a powerful synth band..

[Leopardman33]

F*cking brilliant!
