Smokie - Have you ever seen the rain 1996

[pjbrandy05]

one of the real icons of the 70s, still love their music....their songs still rock today unlike the the stuff the music industry are throwing up on television now and disappears like the wind in months or weeks or days should i say.

[marija1971]

I love it!

[nataliFNV]

kiedy potrzebuje energii do życia to słucham Smokie

[conuregirl007]

I think they did a fine rendition of the song. Of course it's not going to be the same as CCR, but it's not bad. I like certain parts of it. The guy do the lead vocals is gorgeous. Who is he? What happened to Chris Norman?

[vickifrance]

I want John Fogerty!

[Nattfarinn84]

Thats Not Chris Norman -.-'.. But Yes.. CCR is better, but Still they do sing this very well.

[baz20881]

Don't you think that the lead singer sounds a bit like Chris Norman ( and no, i don't think he is trying to take chris off) Is the drummer the guy who was in the origional line up!

[TN67RUS]

@baz20881 The drummer Pete and Alan and Terry, they are all here, only Chris  is missing and it's really a pity!

[BlueSkies360]

[maaikeen123]

Terry Uttley - sooo damn good at that stage! :-D ...saw this band the first time of my life at june 25 this year in Denmark. It was BRILLIANT!!! Haven't been able to take off my eyes (or ears) of these guys since (:

[GunPalm63]

[debbidog1]

@GunPalm63 Mike????Utan Chris Norman är det bara ett coverband ju............ Det är ju Smokies gitarrist som gör pengar på att "nästan" ha samma röst................jepp

[GunPalm63]

Mike Craft är ju bara sååå snygg!! <3<3<3

[tommieparch]

these idiots shoulda been tossed off the stage! makin a CCR song like it was done like the archies! and sporting mullets, like a u.s. country band from 85.

[mathew769]

@tommieparchwhat the hell is wrong with a band covering a song? they liked the song, so they covered it. its just like any other band covering a song. they dont cover it to sound exactly the same, that would just be pointless. they cover it the way that they have interpretted it. if you dont have anything good to say about it, dont say anything at all. it was an amazing cover, but everyone has their own preferences. like bob dylan's all along the watchtower, i prefer hendrix's cover

[AlinaPetrus]

i love this song :X

[tesoriano2010]

i like it!!! awesome!!

[tesoriano2010]

i like it!!!

[MarcoTUV]

they ruined that song

[HateIronMaiden]

Released 1978?! WHAT was released in 1978? CCR recorded their version in 1971 (as the description says too), but what was then released in 1978? Smokie recorded this version, that is a much better version of the song, in 1995, not 1978!

[jokie360]

No doubt,,,,,sound fine,,,,,even better than CCR,,,,,

[jokie360]

No doubt,,,,,sound fine,,,,,

[mrmadushanperera]

62 people Haven't seen the Rain....

[emmajc24]

Suena mejor de Creedence Clearwater me gusta  :)

[lockwpa]

This is lip-synch.

[lennonpaul34]

why they are clapping??



[fdelgadillojaime16]

¿y este?, ¿quien le dijo que era cantante?

[N1naMar1e]

A John Fogerty classic slaughtered by mediocre "housewife-pinup popstars" who looks and sound like they should have been put out of their misery some 20 years ago.

Bloody awful!

[kaimisawesome]

@N1naMar1e why whats the problem? it sounds fine.

[N1naMar1e]

@kaimisawesome

Listen to Creedence Clearwater singing this and THEN tell me it sounds "fine".

Smokie turned this into some bloody bubblegum pop rubbish.

[kaimisawesome]

@N1naMar1e Yeah I heard both of them, this one still sounds fine to me. I think you're more focused on the band itself than the performance.

[geordiejen]

what a disaster you have made of this song ya eejit.

[GaroCARP]

doesnt sound bad

[MsAsangel]

continued; the current lineup are mike craft, lead vocals & rhythm, mickey o'connell (i hope the spellings right) lead guitar & vocals, martin bullard keyboard, steve pinell drums. terry uttley is the only original member and is the bass player and also does vocals.

although they aren't the original crew, they still sound great, and in my opinion, carry on the smokie legacy well.

hope this clarifies things for you. :-)

[MsAsangel]

to raelene101, the original smokie were chris, lead vocals & rhythmn guitar, alan, lead guitar & vocals, terry bass guitar & vocals, pete drums. terry is the one with the afro hairstyle. chris left the band probably somewhere in the mid 80's, and alan barton took over. alan silson remained with the band until the early 000's. pete also left.

[raelene101]

Anyone know what Chris Norman is doing?

[MsAsangel]

@raelene101 solo career, have a look here on youtube, you can find vids. meibe26 (i think) has heaps of videos of chris.

[shout1996mj]

♬have you ever seen the rain?

[chrisreeduk]

I feel violated.

[EonBlueApocolypse]

Smoky, this is not nam'. This is bowling. There are rules.

[greedydijkstra]

Rock 'n Rolll alive, yay

[AshtarKommando]

have you ever seen the alice, im living next door to rain.

[fyphfoko]

bonnie tyler covered this in the 80's

[visiocomb]

Steve Wonder riff ?

[4533GEORGE]

bag voice ,is verry old and verry good

[ESGAllanESG]

Great Song !

[mpowellcali]

can you say lip singing?

[jimincairns]

@mpowellcali Do you mean 'lip-synching'?

[HateIronMaiden]

@mpowellcali "Can you say lip singing?"

Following the Wikipedia article lip-synching it's possible to say that, yes.

[pivotmastaa]

BOOOOOOOOOO!!!! right off the stage

[MProv91]

Are these guys some sort of gay pirates??

Gay song ruining pirates...

[MsAsangel]

@MProv91 no they aren't "gay pirates." they're one of the best bands ever.

[Grzehu1991]

Nice cover, but CCR`s is the best :)

This cover hasn`t got "something", what has got original version. Maybe it`s a guitar, maybe other... Maybe vocal? Maybe... I don`k know, but original is awesome.

[BenBarfuss]

@Grzehu1991 The cover has everything the original has except clear crisp guitar, clear crisp piano, clear crisp bass guitar, clear crisp organ. Maybe it was the mixing engineer, but the instruments here are a mush, and the sound is not enhanced by lame foot-stomping / hand-clapping. Too bad, 'cause the singers are good.

[imjustpassinthru]

I think they did a great job.

[TheKalipse]

LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM

[MrPinaka]

SUDDENLY A GREAT SONG TURNED TO SHIT

[TheKalipse]

@MrPinaka NO!!!!!!!! This is MUCH BETTER VERSION

[DavidFUBB]

who are these fucktards?

[raelene101]

@princesschinwe1994 yeh i iii wanna know where Chris Norman is

[MsAsangel]

@raelene101 gee you can't know much about smokie. chris left ages ago, like back in the 80's. alan barton took over. he died tragically, & mike took over.

[raelene101]

@MsAsangel yeh you are right, dont know much. used to love smokie. went and saw them in 79. Was Alan the guy with the round face and bushy hair? Do they still play?

[bjovin]

mercuryplanet. Hello Dick Head. You must be a person who has a extreme low confidence. Why don't you go elsewhere.

[mociocmalina]

Always love MIKE CRAFT

[pumas27able]

esta rrola esta mu perrona

[franco121760]

I hate second parts, when I hear a band playing others bands original music I just can't take it!

[mociocmalina]

I love SMOKIE forever!

[SmokieTheBand]

What Can I say about Smokie.... The Best Band In The World

[KidCanza]

@SmokieTheBand

uhmm...not

[MoskvaMorten]

@SmokieTheBand is that why they're using playback in this video?

[disconcertedd]

@SmokieTheBand The best band in the world? Get Serious. Apparently your depth of music appreciation is severely limited. They had a couple of decent songs. That's it!

[ADAOTEAMUUU]

BALA..... NÃO CONHECIA ESSA BANDA ATE DESCOBRIR A MUSICA LIVING NEXT DOOR ALICE.. AGORA GOSTO MUITO DESCUBRI OUTRAS MUSICAS MUITO BOA

[mercuryplannet]

the guy is so fucking cheesy it makes me sick, he probably thinks he is some fucking rock star..

[pkfireflies]

Awesome

[bjovin]

@littleholl82 I'm so agree with you about people who don't like this great band, can go elsewhere. By the way: Met Terry and Mike before a gig in Norway a couple of years ago, and are proud to show photo from our meeting to my friends. Today "Take A Minute" has been introduced in Germany, and I'm sure the album will be a success there too. We're looking forward to meet SMOKIE at some gigs in Scandinavia again. I've also met Jason and Vernon in the crew. Nice people.

[bjovin]

badbav33 Why have you stopped taking your medicine? Your psyciaterist have ordered you to take your pills to hopefully become a better person. Go and dig a hole.

To littleholl82. We are loads of people who love SMOKIE and we enjoy every gig. Keep up the good work Holly, and give my regards to Terry and the rest of the band and crew. Take a minute is a fantastic album. Best regards to Holly and all the SMOKIE fans, from Bjørn in Norway.

[littleholl82]

@bjovin Thank you for your support. I think some people on here have forgotten how to be decent human beings, Appalling behaviour! If you dont like it.......go elsewhere.

[littleholl82]

has @badbav got nothing better to do with their time than slate everyone's comments and everything else?! errr that looks like a no! and in reply to your earlier question to me I have got lots to say to that but im not pathetic enough to list them all. All I will say is to get your facts straight before you slate them just because they are not to your taste. I hardly call a band who have just had a number 1 selling album and single a wedding band!

[badbav33]

@littleholl82 a number 1 selling album and single! Which country?

PS feel free to list all you've to say, it makes me laught that you defend a wedding band.....why are they a wedding band you ask? because they do limp versions of classics, that's what a wedding band is.

[scrivchen]

way to blow a fogerty classic!

[mociocmalina]

Thus began my love. . . and now and endures...Smokie, and Mik Carft !!!!!!

[pete7356]

Well done you murdered a Fogerty classic

[mercuryplannet]

[etabetta1]

@mercuryplannet youre a prat

[mercuryplannet]

@etabetta1 eat shit...

[badbav33]

@etabetta1 He's got a point, he's so cheesy, a little part of me died.

[nightgrooveruk]

awesome thank you NAMASTE 

[bjovin]

"They play for the money". Show me an artist who don't. I'ts their job, you idiot. Better to see artist smile when they perform, than idiots who have to act bad on stage to achieve fame.

Suggest you crawl back i lay down under your stone.

[ThePolar910]

i abso love dis song!!!! :)

[speakwithmusic]

this is a perfect example of "musicians" who dont care what they sing or for who or where. They cover great classic rock songs , they ruin them , when u see em on stage they are constantly smiling all of em , overacting like retards. They play FOR THE MONEY , no real music in theire hearts !!!!!

[bjovin]

@speakwithmusic

Show me an artisk who don't play for the money. It's their job. And it's far better they smile on stage than all the idiot-artists who have to act bad to achieve a kind of "fame" because they are only true amateurs. I suggest you creep back to your cave.

[badbav33]

@bjovin you really have no idea do you.

Smokie suck more ass than a vacum cleaner in your bedroom

[JeremyMoar]

these guys come off as fags when i watch this video. First of all it really does look like a play back; secondly they put a choir in a CCR song, need I say more?

[0914abigail]

[badbav33]

@0914abigail Please die

[SergeantMaxi]

[frankyw729]

@SergeantMaxi yeah dude i agree. this is bullshit

[bjovin]

@SergeantMaxi

Hah. Idiot.

[liljovich]

Anybody whos got "Tonight" i think it´s called 

[Psychotisk]

Haha, this is a very good play back version, XD

[InS0vietRussia]

Good cover yet I still prefer Creedence Clearwater's version more. Don't get me wrong, this is good, I just prefer Creedence's more.

[SpartanQ10]

good job on ruining john foggerty...

[SpartanQ10]

by the way, nice pirate outfit lol

[TeamMastaPr2]

@SpartanQ10 This is just a cover song of CCR's version which is original. Also Rod Stewart did a cover version.

[surfinbirdbababababa]
