DANCING IN THE STORM

[winter9020]

Aussie classic!



[NMWMN]

The concept of "Dancing in a storm" is such an Australian attitude!!!! Love you guys xx :P

[Moesshar]

absolutely loved this guy...

[GAVLOVESCHER]

Gone are the days of complacency

Gone are the nights with no partner

Gone is the way that we used to be

Now the corner is turned, heaven knows we've learned

I LOVE YOU BABY <3<3<3<3<3

[wirra436]

Reminds me of the movie " The Big Steal "

[SonicSongbird]

I went to a wedding recently and the couple danced to this song with choreography!

Such awesome lyrics/ melody - absolute magic.

[herbstr]

Filmclip at the 47 sec mark shows in background the NAB building situated in Heathcote, Vic. Still remember the day the guys filmed part of the clip there !!!

[funkyant]

How strange. Haven't thought about this amazing song for years, but woke up today with it in my head. Classic Aussie Pop-Rock!

[452poppy]

Excellent. Heard on the radio today - grand memories thanks BCO

[lesgl]

Ive just got tickets to see the band play at Souths Juniors in October for the first time ..looking forward to it ..hopefully "Her charity'' is still in the set ..i iived in Sydney for a short time in late 88 and remember seeing posters up for a gig they were doing at Revesby Workers and wanting to go but couldnt ..so its been a long time coming..lol

Absolutely LOVE Boom Crash Opera! They were my fav band when I was a kiddie in the late 80's, early 90's. Heard them on the radio the other night and now again can;t get enough. Absolutely brilliant music, I so miss the god old days of Aussie rock. Dale, you are amazing! xx

[cody2o0]

I just did a gig at my school with Dale Ryder!!

[ace072]

1 person accidentley pressed dislike it seems.....

[pisceanchild2]

Proof positive that rock stars are born, not made ... charisma's like curly hair - you've got it, or you haven't

[beeraddd]

i would quote 'boom crash operah' whenever someone would ask for requests on music playlists. i was serious but everyone laughed like it was a funny name, or how random is that band! but i stand my ground. it was and still is great aussie rock that, to this day, has stood the test of time and does not sound one bit like a 25 year old recording!! still loving bco!!!

[gregwar7]

this song is incredibly TERRIBLE

[ArabellaSL]

Wow this country sure produced some brilliant, original music, there's just nothing to compare. BCO epitomise the best of the best

[boomcrashbaby]

Emotions come flooding in until they almost overwhelm.

Feeligs of joy and loss, memories of possibilities lost and gained.

Invincible memories of youth and passion.

Stop me before I start blubbing over this astonishing anthem.

Obviously someone accidently pressed the button.

If that button wasn't there that wouldn't happen.

Please YouTube, this video should have no dislikes.

[WizFizz]

Still brilliant! These guys rocked! Could have been bigger than INXS. Don't know why they never were. I preferred BCO.

P.S: Although not sure what they think of the cover in the Mt Franklin advert.

[xiphocostal]

I loved this song and in one sense it makes me so happy to hear it. In another it reminds me that if I were not poor and unemployed at the time, I would have been in Newcastle workers club when the earthquake hit, trying to buy a ticket to their concert. Bittersweet memories.

[MrRhino79]

Saw the Opera 1 month ago at waves in the Illawarra, let me just say that these guys still rock as good as ever, great night had by all, Rock on Opera!

[DannyDeathboy]

my father loved these guys when i was a youngster. so, i grew up with them. hearing this song, now 10 years older, it has gotten so much better. i appreciate the musical talent of all these gentlemen, and it holds so many memories. thank you boom crash opera. you brightened my day.

[paddo001]

Bring on tomorrow night at Towradagi!! Love BCO!!

[MUDLIFE4X4]

"Chase who Gordon? The Monaro!"

[DeidreAnne15]

Boom Crash opera and a few other bands are the background music to my mad crazy irresponsible youth, and it was a great ride. Love every song from Boom Crash - I never rip aussie bands, it is so hard to make a living competing against the pokies, so off to JB tomorrow to get the CD and go back to a time I remember so fondly where there was no mortgage payments or superannuation considerations.

[jas3872]

the first single i ever bought ah good old cassette singles

[illusions23]

should be on the radio more, whenever they play a song from this band its usually onion skin or great wall, which isnt a bad thing but i never hear this.

[gdpunk4life]

Love this song it is so up lifting!

[yakidk89]

As used in the movie The Big Steal. Back when Aussies produced good music & movies.

[milesinfront]

@yakidk89 Best movie EVER!!!

[irikanji]

i had this on an orange " cass single"... remember them?

[jezzandjo]

This reminds me of my childhood, growing up to BCO.

Does anyone have footage of them playing at Ausmusic ‘90? Always remember Dale Ryder dancing around on stage wearing all white. HOT!

We recorded the whole concert when it was aired on tv but I have no idea what every happend to the tape.

[paddo001]

A great song by a fantastic Aussie band!! These guys were the 1st band I ever saw live (Bicentenial Concert The Rooty HIll) maybe back in 1988.. To this day I love the band!! Saw them a year ago at The Coolongater Hotel in Qld, They get better with age!! Please guys we want more!!

[DjJohnnyM68]

"dancing in the storm" and "love me to death" are my top 2 picks from Boom Crash Opera.

[DjJohnnyM68]

'dancing...." and "inside out" are my top 2 picks from Boom Crash Opera,. "love me to death" is great too.

[FuriousD78]

Fantastic! one of my all time favourites thanks for uploading

[FuriousD78]

Fantastic! one of my all time favourites thanks for posting

[raresaturn]

That guy should front INXS

[assortedcorpses]

@raresaturn A toilet door should front INXS to give some insight into the music that band produced.

[jojanemel]

sadly I have to miss the BCO gigs this weekend in Adelaide :-( I did see Dale Ryder, Brian Mannix and Scott Carne at the Norwood earlier in the year. All still as incredibly awesome as they ever were!!

[TheJacintha7]

I luuuuuuuuuuvvv this song!!! Gets me fired up.

[TheJacintha7]

This is definitely a 'feels-great-to-be-alive' song

[McNic71]

Going to see 1927, Dale Ryder, Paul Gray and Scott Carne on September 3rd at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney. Driving the 3 and half hours from the country, seeing the concert and then driving home. We love all these guys. Can't wait. BCO are still one of my favourtie bands.

[80sOldSkool]

Saw Dale last night live with the Absolutely 80's tour and he is great! He may be bauld now, but can still belt out a great tune. Met him also and got photo's/autographs. It was excellent to meet someone who has sung some of my favourite Aussie songs! This is one of them, my favourtie is Her Charity, unfortunatley this song is not on youtube. Also, check out the Fabulous Beast CD, it is a very under-rated great album.

[KitFallapart]

I am addicted to this song right now. Been listening to it several times a day. Such a brilliant uplifting chorus!! :D

[tomcruisefan73]

great video!!!

[gdpunk4life]

What a timeless classic!!

[scrubbersteve]

I remember this from The Big Steal and I still have a crush on Claudia Karvan

[drbob2004]

I have been a muso for over thirty years now and BCO are the Pinnacle of Perfection and something that others can only aspire to. The songwriting is second to none. The Musicianship is impeccable. Dale Ryders voice is so distinctive and would send shivers up the spine of anyone who listens. The songs themselves still stand today. I have no idea why they never took over the World with a sound that's so unique and complete. My one regret is that I never got to see them live.

[ChristieSPC]

@drbob2004 LOL i remember going to the 21st in frankston whilst on holiday there.. walking up the stairs i could hear this song playing and i thought.. awesome cover who ever is doing it.. sounds exactly like Dale.. walked in and omg.. it was BCO! we had a blast and I ended up with the demo tape they were doing for the night.. decided they didnt need it ..figured i might like it... this song is still on my ipod for when im on the motor bike.. incredible. wish you saw them live too!

[zigmo2]

@drbob2004 You just said in a paragraph what I've been thinking for over 20 years. I've had the pleasure of seeing them live heaps of times & they have never disappointed. If / when they do a tour again, do yourself a favour. You won't regret it.

[blazingbrand]

This song sends shivers down my spine and just makes me proud to be australian!!

It is timeless.

[pogly100]

Outstanding song, one of my all-time favourites. Just never gets old. Makes me proud to be an Australian. :o)

[KrissyOK]

Living in Japan in the late nineties, every time it stormed I`d be dancing in the rain to this song, much to the surprise of my neighbours, and the joy of their children

[atburleigh]

How good do you feel after hearing this????

[mattrus023]

what a classic and great song

[antonmur]

Hands up if you have seen the aussie movie the big steal,  this song was perfect for that part of the movie once they got the jag up and running, great song

[17ETEP]

@antonmur I think it's sad that The Big Steal is still one of my favourite movies esp this song lol That and Steve Bisley in stockings and high heels! Is it just me or was there an incredible amount of great songs made in 1988-1989? Or is it just me?

[antonmur]

@17ETEP Mate one of my fav movies, best aussie movie anyway, relate too it in so many ways, Best part is for sure this song when there cruising through melbourne, awesome

[skeppers1976]

is there an acoustic version of this song anywhere???

[3957jenifer]

Awesome aussie song, sends tingles up and down the spine, absolutely love it.

Cheers for posting

[5101600]

As everyone else said, Its a classic song, so strong and powerful. has been my fav since early 90's and I would always listen to it before a big night out to get pumped up. It gets better with age.

[jordanvillestation]

@5101600 I'll remember your comment next time we play it :)

thanks..Greg O'Connor BCO

[TheMichaelseymour]

@jordanvillestation It has a Celtic feel too , was that intentional? ....you blokes are fuckin grade A genius !

Bag pipes would have worked {sparingly}

[carlfinkle]

@5101600 There are some songs that no matter how many times you listen to them never get old

[antonmur]

Great Song, first time i herd it was watching a great aussie movie 'The big steal" right after they drove the Jaguar after doing the engine swap.

[zigmo2]

A most underated Aussie band.

[skippythered]

gold

[canisrufus]

Thanks for posting!!! Great song!!!

[paulio2293]

[paolorossifan2006]

[thommojct]

[shazzabelle2]

Brilliant song. This guy had a great voice!

[starwanchai]

20 years on, and the music still rocks

[singingyamada]

brought a tear to my 50 year old eye and a lump in my throat. God bless aussie music

[gxd4b1]

Its funny to think how many people in the world have no clue about the greatness of Australian music.

[onehotnerf]

any more

[Sportymale]

On New years' Eve, I was working driving a tram and played this song off my ipod over the tram PA. The tram was packed with everyone going into the city, and it appeared everyone, no matter what age, all sang along and knew the words. They all loved it as much as i do!

[patrolowner]

You are an awesome tram driver. Well done..

[DarkVisor]

seconded!!

[mattrus023]

@Sportymale i wish i was on the tram would have been an awesome experiece

[Sportymale]

@mattrus023  Thanks mate, I wish Yarra management agreed with you!!!! I have been reprimanded for playing music over the PA.

[gxd4b1]

@Sportymale You are like the best tram driver ever!!!

[Sportymale]

@gxd4b1

Thanks mate, but I think Yarra Trams management would disagree. They don't look to favourably upon drivers playing music!!!!

[The18Angus]

@Sportymale on ya mate ur a awesome tram driver...

[jubrok]

@Sportymale you sir, are a gentleman and a scholar

[Blueryder65]

Thats my brother.......

[CODWAWGUN]

lol it proabaly isnt

[shaggalicious25]

''Here we go!" - One of the classics..Gary Eastwood plays this amazing tune on fridays at the lower plenty hotel and sundays at the harp of erin in melbourne.

[lovesnackycakes]

Man, I was washing the dishes and this song popped into my head out of nowhere. Good old Youtube!!

Legendary song :)

[spar7ky]

holy crap, i havnt heard this sonf since i was 17 when it was a real hit. This has got to be one of the most get up and go songs of all time. Shame the northern hem never got a real tast of this. oz know how to r4eally rock em out. Australia rulz

[swaneefan1]

the guitarist used to be in an early 80's group called Scared Wierd Insects, and the countdown performance is on The Countdown DVD thats available. Richard Pleasance also produced Deborah Conways "String of Pearls" album

[jordanvillestation]

The guitarist was 'Serious Young Insects' ...to be precise :)

[swaneefan1]

apologies-

[remoman]

@swaneefan1 Peter Farnan is the name you are looking for..

[jonwyllie]

This is probably the greatest song in the world, if not the greatest song in the Southern Hemisphere. Ever. You guys are heaping praise on this song. But not nearly enough.

[Marcuskristicus]

What happened to these guys? They had big hits for a few years there then just vanished, it seemed.

[mattrixxxx]

If this band can't raise a party in a room full of people... no band in the world can!

[mstik50]

awesome aussie band! great clip

[neonjunglejumper]

this is one of the best aussie rock songs ever well done BCO , i put it up ther with noiseworks " touch " :)

[gxd4b1]

All i know is that when lightning flashes, everything becomes sharp and clear.

Aussie Rock at its best. Does the world not know that Aussie Rock pisses all over everything else.

[gav240z]

This was on The Big Steal soundtrack, great song.

[paulio2293]

thats where i know it from too! every time i hear it brings back memories of danny driving over the westgate in his jag with those mates

[paddo001]

Saw them recently at the Coolongater Hotel in Qld!! Still magic

[daynef1]

me best mates the drummers cousin fukin awesome song, band

[ImixmaniK]

So check it...I'm from Honduras right so i'm thinking i'm probably the only one in the new world to know about Boom Crash Opera, so reading all your comments make me feel like i'm not alone...I FKN love this band!!!! Thanks for posting!

[aaronryanmusic]

Yeah. They were well known here in Australia and this album was a classic with so many great tracks.

♫Aaron Ryan Music♫

[AG4572]

Wow. Flashback! I remember seeing them at the Old Lion in Adelaide, every time they came there. My girlfriend at the time (and her sister) were both in love with Dale Ryder. Years later at a little underground bar in Melbourne I got up on stage and sang two songs with them - really badly, but they were good sports.

Great memories.

[vinniemurtagh]

Fucken hell! This song brings back the memories of summer 89/90...I think I had this on tape, that I recorded it off the radio...Bloody hell, isn't that terrible!

Gold song all the same. Cheers for posting it!

[gxd4b1]

remember everyone that when Lightning flashes everything becomes sharp and clear.

Man this song takes me back.

[leopardation]

I saw them at the Jindabyne Pub in the early 90s,

They were absolutely awesome,very ballsy sound in concert.

Thanks for the great memories!

[PaddyDownUnder]

Still a great song... fantastic hooks!

[greenrealist]

I love a great range of music and this song keeps ringing through my head. What a great voice. Awesome.

[sumonefrombrissy]

what a fuckin awesome song. I miss them!!

[Jamezza32]

I have always loved this song. I will see you in June 2009

[aleadholm76]

Great song from one of the most underrated albums ever!

[AANNTTHHRRAAXXX]

QUEEEEEEEENNSLANDERRRRRRRRRR!

Thank you for putting this up mate!

[max070307]

This has to be one of the best songs of all time ! I dedicate it to my wonderful husband, Joe and gorgeous son, Max.
