Ultravox - Passing Stranger (live)

[harley0husky]

...remeber he did do a stint in thin lizzy as a guitarist - he is properly under rated.

[harley0husky]

i'm a fully fledged metal head,but i absolutely love Ultravox. There, i've said it. Thanks forthe upload dude.

[ultracox]

@harley0husky Yes, an extremely interesting group.

[harrietcow]

This is just too awesome! Midge has never gotten the credit he deserves for being a guitar god. Yes, that was "In the Mood" near the end!! Fantastic performance by all the guys.

[SonicVolcanoify]

This is live in Amsterdam, June 1981. They were still promoting the Vienna album, but once again they tried out some new stuff like The Thin Wall and Stranger Within. The album Rage In Eden would appear later that year + tour.

[TheSandsie13]

love this song. it's amazing live. the boys have not lost a step in all these years. and the little glaswegan up front has aways got me going. usually doing things i wouldn't do if i thought about it first. happy birthday mr ure. and the look at 1: 53 goes right through you.

[Carismystic]

Thanks for finding this video, the song is still one of my favourites. Even passing strangers are still together in ones memory.

[chrisnoaro1]

wonderful stuff

[Elettronico94]

WOW!

[ronnoten]

is that "in the mood" by Glen miller, midge is playing at the end on guitar? great band.

[Polyphemus]

Yeah,the guitar solo was unexpected and spectacular.

[rooman66]

good ol' midge going into rich kids mode at the end

Fabulous

[DarunDarun]

[Eljaxxxx]

[journey123k]

[WildmanBorneo]

We are going to see them tonight Plymouth 27/4 cannot wait.

[janeesky]

neil & I were at their concert in edinburgh

on friday it was brilliant the place was jumping

[Voxman683]

Someone must have the full gig. I would pay good money for a DVD. Why don't the band track it down and release it?

[jarriano]

Impresionante Warren

[xensboy]

Wow! What a nice surprise to see Chris Cross playing with such an excellent fat bass sound and singing! I agree with a previous comment: Ultravox is one of the best bands ever!

[BeefyTuber]

This would be from the Vienna tour. I'm presuming so as it's on the Vienna album.

[gynofingers]

Mige Ures outfit looks more Rage In Eden tour to my eyes, than Vienna, although this is a Vienna album track, they played it on later gigs

[kataka64]

Great! Love midge's guitar solo .. at 4:30 sounds like 'In the Mood'!

[1986uno45s]

Wow, great performance of Passing Strangers and I love the extended ending/ guitar solo! I wonder if they'll play this when I get to see them on tour in 2009?!!!

[BeefyTuber]

I hope so too. Am off to see them in Edinburgh. Missed them live first time round. Wasn't going to miss them this time.

[emt4242]

I think this show was somewhere in Holland...pls refer to New Europeans (Live) posted by OpDePlanken...both awesome vids!!!

BOOTS!!!!

[emt4242]

"Count Down" in Amsterdam

[emt4242]

Thx for the post...awesome vid...gorgeous Midge...:-)

[emt4242]

BRILLIANT!!!!xxxxx

[khorrumg]

I dont know what gig this was but it seems a bit like the one they played at the St Valentine's Night Ball in 1981...Whatever, I think it is circa '81...Midge looks great in his 1930's look

[Larsfive]

Pro synthpop by Midge ure and his Ulravox

One of the best 80-es grup (Vienna:)

[60vienna]

One of the few bands that sound great live. Fantastic track taken from a brilliant album ( Vienna )

[tundra219]

I continue to be knocked out by Midge's live vocals. He's just so darn good.

[clementinemonkey]

I'm in love all over again! Sweet memories. They were such a fantastic atmospheric band live. *sigh*

[ultracox]

Thanks!

"Is there a full concert's worth of footage or just one song?"

I'm not sure. I must talk to Goran or Bod (friends) first. Goran, if you read this then call me.

[emt4242]

Yes...a lot of this show is posted by OpDePlanken

[JonCantspell]

Is there a full concert's worth of footage or just one song?

Thanks for putting it up, best band ever!

[alttzueta]

rage in eden tour!!en el minuto 2:25 abajo a la izquierda se ve la bateria electronica que usaban en la version en vivo de "the voice"(2:25seconds i look the electronic-drump "the voice" live version)

[ingenious4t]

Amazing performance and a rare clip, thanks for posting!

[FLORENT2222]

a very great live performance of that song !!

[Procopius1980]

This version is similar to the one recorded for Monument. Thanks for posting. This is one of their best, and I always enjoy hearing a different version.

[Tazz77]

Thanks for posting. I've never seen this clip before. I like Midge Ure's solo at the end and if you listen close you'll hear some of it was also used in The Dancer, by Visage.

[ultracox]

I now notice that.

[alttzueta]

rage in eden tour?
