Stiil the best 27 years on. Thanks guys - Number one in your dreams Gary? Looks like it was for lots of people.

[kitezen]

[fossgoddess]

Brilliant. I played China Crisis on radio in the US 1989/1990...before the NAC format died. My entire collection was stolen. I don't have a CD, nor can I find one. Always loved this title though and love that I can watch and listen now. :)

[kikocheng]

thnx for posting these...i like there songs and the band too....!

[airager]

I saw them at Runcorn a couple of years ago, they were superb! So underated it's criminal.

[prints76]

C.C. and not Culture Club although i love them 2,but these cats were highly underrated considering all the great music they put out.Shame on Warner Brothers 4 not getting them on in the U.S.A.

[visioninteraction]

Great Video.. wow..I would love to see them live.. awesome..thanks xx

[bailimtao]

Solche Menschen wünscht man sich als Freude!

[Larkyeejit]

[TheLesley1965]

[wyllopez]

very cool song!!!

[williamcua7]

cool, still sounds like the original studio version

[spiralarray1969]

These guys have aged well, compared to some artists. I listened to them back in high school in the 80's and just looked them up on here. Anyone know when this show was?

[maharanirish]

what's the line he's saying after, "never in my life have i, questioned or discovered why...____________"?

[AuctionFella]

@maharanirish

"...in my life have I..." comes from the lyric sheet in the CD.

[maharanirish]

@auctionfella:

yeah, i kinda figured it out after listening to it for like, the nth time. thanks!

[h4rry50337]

Yes, I was there at Fort Perch, with my husband & two girls. We are also going to see them at the Cavern Club in December, can't wait..............We love all their tracks and have been a fan since day one!

[gmansi]

Highest High was played on this concert?

[bashey63]

kin great tune this...seen them many times over the years and still look forward to seeing them at some point this year.

[TorstenMainka]

[Larkyeejit]

Class song from a class band!

[cefiro57]

I absolutely love this song, my favourite CC track!

[zodian]

[roadend78]

[FrankSidebottom]

This is my favourite CC track........they played it at the outdoor gig at Fort Perch Rock, New Brighton on Saturday. Great night...I was in my element!!!!!!!!!

[govindasantos]

steely dan produced this album

[Leisurecruise]

The most underrated band of the 80's.

[negutzcht]

you must really be a huge China Crisis fan to have the live video of this song... 'tis a good thing i am, too! =D

[ranjitb68]

Have loved this song since it first came out in the 80's best CC song IMO

[pkappel006]

yes, it is a true tune from a band I remember listening to on the FM side back in 1987/88. Don't hear much about them anymore but they are in my mind forever............play on.........

[pkappel006]

wondering if they might ever tour the USA/Minnesota....Minneapolis or St. Paul

I think this group is so sounding great....such melody and soul.........my favorite group ever, even better than group's of the 60's which I grew up in listening too...........

[dda832v]

Fantastic band. Seen them many times at the old Ronnie scotts in Birmingham. Brill

[ariovis]

you are a lucky person, espero un día tener el privilegio de verles en directo, siguen siendo estupendos.... :)

[iveco321]

some records just press all the right buttons- how can anyone not like this. brilliant

[LUCIDity2009]

Aint they from the Wirral so in theory they are not Scousers?????

[airager]

No they are from Kirkby, Liverpool. I went to see them live last year in runcorn, they were superb!

[zibbezabba]

No Lucidity, they are not from the wirral, they are from Kirkby (Liverpool) scousers through and through, How do I know this? they are my mates :)

[yatsa]

Can you ask them if they ever finished the promo video for this song back in the 80's .I remember watching an interview with them and it was being "cut".Love to know where it can be found? If you don't mind.

[spikerooney011]

beautiful

[ariovis]

Dios Mio!! It´s incredible!! suenan igual y casi tienen el mismo aspecto y no solo eso, están en la brecha todavía!! they still standing now, uno de mis grupos preferidos en los 80´s, congratulations and thank you very much for posting

[superbawestside]

Classic!!!

[vincevoxbox]

is that my old mate"colin heinz" on the rather funky guitar. love ya man vince

[yatsa]

Has anybody the original video, where a girl was a photographer in a studio with the guys, I remember it coming out in the 80,s due to it being unfinished only a bit was played.

Classic song one of my fav bands

[TrueCourse]

Bravo! Thanks loads for the post! :)

[anewlime]

please upload the original you did cut me

[Holygasoline]

SUPERB !

[BOSEcptrMusicmonitor]

the Shark

[kathchung88]

that is my first time to hear this song, nice........

[Holygasoline]

This is such a perfect song, i love it, so much Steely Dan influence, the 2 best bands on the planet.

[nix4pool]

Absolutely fantastic track , makes me proud to be a Scouser.

Love it ......

[udoduell]

What is a scouser?

[decostapler]

A "Scouser" is someone from a town who havent won the Premier League since 17 or so years, so you tell me "what is a scouser" !!!

[nix4pool]

A Scouser is someone who comes from the city which has England's Premier Soccer club , and that my son is a FACT .

[jgray6868]

Fucking Brilliant!!! love these lads!!!! Wish they'd come to chicago

Jg

[sastal]

We're going to have to go see them in the UK. Wanna backpack to Liverpool for their gig in November 2008?

I was surprised at how good they still sound.

[jgray6868]

I would love to!! No way I could though, But it's too bad they couldn't be here to open the two dhows for Steely Dan at the Chicago Theatre..How incredible would that be!? Also, I love your video selections, it seems you and I have many of the same tastes..I'll be subscribing right away! Cheers,

John Gray

chicago

[DINKYDALTON2]

I'm sure Walter Becker wouldn't mind.

[sastal]

That would be incredible indeed! Thank you for the kind comments.

[Bolly558]

An all time great band. Live and in the studio. They have never done a bad track in all their career since 1979. Catch them whenever you can. Lets hope they tour more again soon. They are on at the Stone music festival in Staffordshire, Saturday 12th July in the square.... We still love you guys.... RIP Kev.... An all time great drummer he was.... By the way they are on stage at 7.00pm....

[goggleyed2007]

This was the China Crisis song that made me sit up and take notice of them! I loved this one a heck of a lot. Super song!

[sfoeric]

I just ordered it on Amazon's UK site for delivery to me here in San Francisco. Looking forward to its arrival!

[hertsman2004]

isley.."flaunt" was a great album, but not a lot to do with Steely Dan..True Walter Becker produced,but my mate gazza johnson told me that he tried harder to introduce them to chemical substances than produce their album..they all sat on their arses in Hawaii for four months,massively overran the budget which led to them being ultimately kicked off Bransons Label.Truth is,they could conjure up melodic music that still stands the test of time in the pub..where most of the songs where formulated

[hiramewastaken]

Man, these guys were great.

[zodian]

what do you mean 'were' great. Saw them last year still BRILL

[isleyrundgren]

This was always my favourite song by this group,period. And yes i think the steely dan touch on the 'flaunt' album helped bolster the groups popularity for a while. Iam quite a big dan fan myself. If any of you want to check another song that got the Steely Dan treatment, check the song Magic Smile by Rosie Vela(actress/model/singer)from circa 1986,some of you may remember it, but for those of you who dont, its worth listening to, this is a really good cruisin' tune.

[dinggaddi]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ranjitb68]

I have posted also Gift of freedom - also if anyone is on facebook theres a CC appreciation group - I don't want to post any more videos cos I think if you like them you should buy their DVD (check out Ebay)

[JenJenEL]

Geeze I love these guys...so talented and underrated

[ickle67]

i always remember Gary introducing this song on stage at Manchester Apollo in 85 by saying..."this song got to No.1 in my dreams".....mine too!!! love it

[OforOboe]

Correction; They ARE such a great band!

[OforOboe]

Thank you Ranjitb68, this is a classic, and they were such a great band. Nice to see their music immortalised on a new technology like this. Good sound quality too.

[Coghead]

Awesome performance from a wonderful band!

China Crisis' music are some of the best memories for me.

Thanks ranjitb68, please post some more :))

[farley528]

Yeah, me too. I've almost forgotter this tune, its been years. They dont sound like new wave here, theres a little pop jazz in it.

[yatsa]

My Favourite from China Crisis, I remember when it first came out, their promo video was nearly finished, but I have never seen the full version, from the bits I saw ..it look good, great memories many thanks for posting.

[Layorinc]

So, a video DOES exist for "You Did Cut Me"? Where and how did you get to see the bits you saw? Just curious. (YouTube is a great forum for finding out stuff!)

[bolderr]

yeah, where? also 'bigger the punch i'm feeling'?

[Layorinc]

We have similar tastes! I like that song from the album as well - but there has been no mention up to this point that "Bigger The Punch I'm Feeling" was ever released as a single or a video was ever made. If you (or anyone else) know more, please respond.

[ranjitb68]

this is a video from the DVD live at LIPA its the only video I know of that exists

[Layorinc]

My favorite on the "Flaunt The Imperfection" album which I heard on "smooth jazz" radio stations in Berkely & L.A., CA. I read this song was the 3rd single from the album - behind "Black Man Ray" & "King In A Catholic Style". It should've been the LEAD single. But it only reached #54 on the British chart. I would've thought with Walter Becker producing, and the Steely Dan-ish sound, the song should've charted big in the USA. I guess timing & promotion is everything.

[bandypaul]

awesome.....jazzy....i misss this song!! now,you dont hear music like this nowadays..pure talent

[bolderr]

classic..perfect song on a rainy day...

[alannavx]

sounds so much like a steely dan song. no wonder. their album "flaunt the imperfection" was produced by walter becker. very nice.

[farley528]

Yes, thats correct. What this tune or this album great is becoz it was produced by the intellectual Walter Becker.Thanks

[thevarl]

top drawer!!!! love this song

[bocslina]

mama mia!!!! a classic!!!!

[jisip333]

Thanks for posting. Had forgotten about this fantastic song!

[ranjitb68]

I defy anyone to not love this song - brilliant just brilliant
