The Fixx - Woman On A Train

[experiencemattn]

this version is WAY better than the studio

[fixx1248]

Are they now permanently resident in the 'States? Come back just once...please??

[bleuroo]

Wow. What a beautiful version of one of my favorite Fixx songs. I love the calmer and more nostalgic feel they've given the song with this arrangement, also, Cy's new way of singing it is wonderful.

Thanks so much for uploading!

[Perigaeum]

Probably one of the most underrated bands ever. Licks and style-components still are heard massively nowadays ... but they, themselves, went nowhere except oblivion.

[extantia]

More live Fixx.

[Samjeno]

@extantia Idont know why but I always thought they were Cabadian

[chezrutti1]

Drummer drops the beat @3:40, Jamie turns around and laughs at him @ 3:50 - even the best are actually human! These guys do it right and ALWAYS have!

[Xaqtly]

These guys are absolutely sublime live. If you care about music at all, see them when they come through your area, or take a road trip to go see them. They won't be touring forever, and life is short. This is one of the things everybody should see at least once.

[petecockcroft]

This is huge

[saturnhexagon]

Did they ever come back to Vegas, or will they? Great show!

[xavianhelley]

they are one of my all-time favs they certainly didn't get as much attention as they deserve.. id love to see them tour again

[elzisco]

best Band of the 80'

[numinaII]

A girl on pills in limbo... A neat line, and very true if you ever get that one girlfriend who loves the rX bottle more than she loves you.

[numinaII]

I had the UB40 albums, and some of the Queen stuff. Catchy. But then The Fixx--oh my God, sweeping, brilliant albums of dead-serious poetry and the best melodies in all of pop or rock. A completely one of a kind experience. The Fixx on radio and in record stores were like your favorite literature beside guilty-pleasure comic books.

[Driver8852]

Cy always sounds great live. The band is always tight too. I can't wait to see them tour again.

[riftalope]

Pictures chase across the ceiling

As I try to sleep at night

There's a voice inside my darkness

Laughing at the life I've lost

She's no girl on pills in limbo

She's a woman on a train

[gowestward1]

The Fixx...never sold out to the corporate hacks....never sold out football stadiums...can fill small clubs and play with such immense power that it blows away any of the competition who play the larger venues

[n8tureboy]

@gowestward1

INDEED! Yes, sir!

True that.

[gr8k73]

Phantoms is my all time favorite album of all albums. What talented writing and compositions.

[beowulven]

One of the greatest ever written.

[bassmanjoe]

3 dislikes??? Must be idiots on the train...

[bassmanjoe]

3 DISLIKES???? Must be idiots on a train....

[Mrsaliyah2010]

If you ever see this Cy, you may remember me from Battersea, aswell as Sue from Talk of the Town. We are talking 1980. Dave Arden ate his words. Always glad to see and hear a success story. Stay good and well. Margarethe

[AnalogKid1234]

The Fixx still have their talent , amazing concert!... man CY can sing!! Their greatest hits just hit the 2 million mark here is the USA

[Peacenrespect]

So disappointed to have missed their only show near me Atlantic City NJ USA {:<

They will always be my kindred spirits. They speak my language! Much Respect!

[THUDTP]

Very underrated band! Cy, Jaimie and Dan are special!!

[sider420]

Was his name Jim Fixx ?

[Mrsaliyah2010]

@sider420

You are stupid

[romp54]

Where is the CD ? I wouldnt mind having it in my collection! GO FIXX !!!!

[Cyonide9]

I was at this concert. In the front !!!! They were great. They sound good live.

[evolnieveilebi]

The poly-rhythm of the guitar against the drums creates a a great vibe. A rare drum signature for the Fixx, and it's played on so innovatively, I love it.

[Blackscorpion1963]

WOW this gig must have totally ROCKED! The more songs I listen to on YouTube from this gig the better the gig seems to get. You just wanna get the Coruba Rum out and start pouring...on the rocks of course! One could even crack up a little wee hoota and 'pass the dutchie from the left had side'! THE FIXX are simply unique.

[aspenmogul]

FUCKING OUTSTANDING!

[SSNocc]

I still have the cassete tape, althputh its not mine, but it seserves recognisement, sp?.

[SSNocc]

@SSNocc 8 months later im still watching this vid!

[SSNocc]

@SSNocc im still watching it, :S. (Y)

[kevhar12]

I still have the Phantoms album on cassette. Oh!, how I cherish it. I love this song. The Fixx is one of my all-time favorites. They deserve more recognition.

[Mijaseev]

@kevhar12 me too lol Phantoms and Walkabout, though Walkabout is near burned out after so many times listening to it.......Thanks for the Fixx ;)

[kevhar12]

@Mijaseev Yeah I have Walkabout on cassette, Calm Animals and Reach The Beach also.I also have Ink on cassette. My Reach The Beach Cassette is so worn that the only way I notice the cassette is because I used a sharpie to write The Fixx and Reach The Beach on it. I`ve had this Phantoms cassette since 89 and Reach the Beach since 85 or 86.

[kevhar12]

@Mijaseev  Oh!, I still have Shuttered Rooms on cassette.

[carriersignal]

Jamie West-Oram is a fantastic guitarist.

[gwdone]

This rules folks!!!

[lolwut71]

oh man the cut of this on 101 Woodlawn is great

[saturnhexagon]

@lolwut71 "woodland"



[maxxxem1]

the front man is crazy really crazy!!! really

[pat61700]

magic group, the best of the last 3 decade

[nortru]

Increible banda de los 80s tuve la suerte de verlos en el festival de Fairfax y siguen igual de fascinantes

[maxxxem1]

yes they are Pro's

[pat61700]

the best simply the best

[gwdone]

a stadium act!!!! one if not my fav from these guys!

Looks pro-shot,, would love to have the whole show!

[Leyland4321]

I still don't understnd why this truly unique band never had ANY hit record in Europe. I mean, I'm fed up with Queen, UB40 and all the other sh** that's poored over us over and over again, as a matter of fact this continues

until this very day. I treasure all of The Fixxs' records, frisbeed the Queen/UB40 crap away into the sea the other day. If these records ever turn up somehere, you know who did it! And a big thank you to all those morons who run our radio stations and pollute the airwaves

[michielstra]

Hahahah!! good speach!! How about to become the new president??

[futtle]

Leyland4321 is 100% correct.  Queen and the other bands mentioned are uttlerly clueless!

[petrusaloisius]

@Leyland4321

Such great artists, this band. I have a lot of records on cd from them. Greets from Holland.

[kevhar12]

@Leyland4321 I`m not that crazy about Queen either. I like a few songs but come on, it kinda gets boring. That`s just my opinion. The Fixx is awesome. Songs like this Reach the Beach,Liner,Precious Stone,Secret Seperation, Less Cities,Stand or Fall,Driven Out, World Weary,Saved by Zero,Running etc. etc. etc. I can go on forever. With queen four or five songs and thats it.

[IngoDE]

@Leyland4321

"I still don't understnd why this truly unique band never had ANY hit record in Europe. "

Because they were too good for us at that time!

[n8tureboy]

@Leyland4321

Hey, I just found a Queen and UB 40 album floating up on shore here at this deserted isle that I'm on! Thanks!

I just wore my last Fixx cassettes out and I was getting desperate for some different music. LOL!

[mcrelly]

@Leyland4321 the fixx are VERY special to 80's music, they almost balance out all the crap! lol.

[fairygirlll]

Rupert is brilliant on this track!!!

[girus0485]

Yes, Rupert is brilliant. I love his playing style. It always seemed kinda dark and dreamy (to me anyway). I think he use to play in the minor key with some tensioners thrown in that were never quite resolved. I think he, Cy and Jamie really made The Fixx. Just my two cents.

[tibbsyxx]

well thats not saying much since them and adam are the only original members

the bassists have come and gone by the dozen

[liveup5]

The Fixx are a truly unique band. This song has always been a favorite of mine. In my opinion,it was always the best song on Phantoms.

[Paulosoy]

I went to England in 1987, and I thought they were well known there, and it happened nobody knew about them, I was surprised to learn this.

[pegaso1088]

it sounds better live version than the the studio version.

great band!

[murph1245]

Just saw them do this in Delaware on 8/02. First time I saw them do it live. I loved the arrangement they give it live. Mesmerizing in the beginning. Very good rock and roll band.

[kissmybuttdimple]

so very cool stuff.... real pro band there.

[saturnhexagon]

If you're compiling a FIXX greatest hits, add Woman On A Train to the List. Brilliant!

[geebru]

the fixx started the new sound around the world .... OZ for sure !!!!great ,allways freash sound !!!

[aeroviso]

My favorite band!!!

[baauum]

Is this Las Vegas show available to buy on DVD? These are great performances!!

[carriersignal]

Awesome!  Love these guys.

[karismatica55]

Such a nice song... I shall go see them next time their in L.A.

[thinkpad247]

I was at this concert in vegas buy the pool what u missed was jamie west orem just plauing gutar really well they were in rare form on this night they sounded good put on a good concert did a meet a great after the show. I got to meet all of them and got there autographs. it was amasing though some of the younger kids in the audience that night did not know who they were and did not know that this was the original line up. i had so many pepole come up to me and say that the gutar player was to

[mignonhenne]

were they too musically clever for the simple charts.hoard jones and thomas dolby simplified themselves but nor enough.

[chysto66]

Been a fan since the 80's, have seen them 3 times recently, they are better than ever!!!!!

[IngoDE]

One of the best bands until today...

these were my eighties....

[kennyplay]

One of my top 5 bands..And i like a lot

Excellent live act too!

[cinecromancer]

See this band in an outside venue at night if you can.. the songs set an unbelievable mood. Really great live!

[gaae2000]

they are absolutly amazing!!!! live. What a musicianship, every player is unique in their own style, the bass, guitar, Synths, Drums.

[Ton80Bob]

going to go see them today in North Tonawanda for FREE show. July 7th. The Fixx and Psychedelic Furs and The Alarm

[beagleheadfred]

Saw them in Oakville,Ontario here in Canada last Nov.This song was even better than this version and the album put together.I have seen them live 3 or 4 times but they were better than ever,unreal!!

Great guys too,having now met them twice!!

[exDrBob]

COOL... Nice trippy version. Makes me want to "twist one" and watch this over and over. Thanks!

[Mojito0069]

Awesome track....

[pokerchamp52]

Had the pleasure of being at this show. Perfect night and great atmosphere !

[MyNameIsShelby]

Cy seems off by a few beats - I like the album version better. Beautiful voice on that man!

[beagleheadfred]

When I saw them in Oakville last November they sounded 10 times better than this clip.Absolutley amazing,I felt like I had an out of body experience almost totally buzzing on the music!!

the power!!

[baauum]

To bad there isn't an audio version of this performance, it would be great to have.

[Xaqtly]

The Fixx are so, so good live it's unbelievable. If anything Cy's voice has only gotten better over the years. I wish I could have been at this show.

[Jammerkevin]

Great,great memories with this song. This song, "Wish", and "Lose Face" are my favorites from the Phantoms Album. This wonderful music brings me back to senior year in high school. Great memories!!!

[erinpielamb1]

pure class

[mrrichardfeder]

Awesome! Thanx....more, please.

The intro to this tune (& the title) reminds me of Tangerine Dream's *Love on a Real Train* from `Risky Business`

[deslizadora123]

2006? Increible, esta cancion suena muy, pero muy bien con el paso de tooodos estos años. Super version.

[cinecromancer]

thefixx dot com has tour info. This band is phenomenal in concert.

[wederell1]

Great great song.... Lots of cool memories of the 80's in Germany.

[murph1245]

Thanks for the post. These guys do it live as good as any band out there. This is a good "fix" until I can see them live again.
