[val17322]

ai sim hein !

[soundnicetome]

Saw these in the 90s....they appear to have matured together with their music which was always outstanding.Much better music than todays dross,well played you lot!

[hunkydaboyz]

Love the looks on the faces ,great memories

[nicecorner100]

Phil Oakey, you are great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chrisfranz]

Dude can still sing!

[GrandMasterGuess]

In 30 years gaga, beiber, lil wayne and all these other bullshit noise makers gonna be singing their crap.. How ridiculous they going to look....guaranteed.

[elvispresley718]

old farts old disco so fucking boring

[nepasegalite]

Still great are they!!!!

[CbassNL]

Haha, gotta love the drumset.

[Dectheboner]

Phil never lost that voice

[bigleagues]

Seriously without DNA or dental testing how can we be sure that was, in fact, the human league?!

[CrazyMetalZombie]

Seeing them tonight stokkkkked

[EgoDestroyR]

...i wonder why he doesn't wear makeup anymore?

[Johnnysynth]

Phil is in phenomenal shape for his age.  They all are.

[islapilluminati]

this song live by this band at this time would have been passable if they would have actually sung harmonies during the chorus...terrible...you have 3 singers....and they all sing the same notes during the chorus when the original had harmonies...demonstrates how limited they are live vocally now...they are too old...good harmonies in live performance are what seperate good bands from mediocre ones...ala Journey...dudes are 60 and can still sing live backing vocals quite well

[DHRC18]

And the chicks still look hot!

[spewgilist]

Damn. He sounds great!

[quangluu96]

/WTF i couldnt recognize his face o.o different now, but same old voice.

[angloindian1]

Brill

[niclogue]

LOVE This song!! but Phil is the one only that can still sing!!

[CelesteK]

He can sing that's true. But time hasn't been too kind to him.

[artrimb]

@CelesteK I disagree. I think he still looks good. He was born in 1955 so he was 51 years old in this video.

[CoastGuardIDC]

Wow, look at all those MILFs.....Grrrrrrrrr......

[hsuanjuchen]

That man still can sing after all these years.

Unbelievable!!!

[talon115]

They all look and sound great!

[52hogan]

This group still rocks

[jkirk1963]

What happened to his hair ?

[hunkydaboyz]

@jkirk1963

it fell out i guess

[coreystuart]

28 years old and STILL recognisable as a CLASSIC in pop music history. 28 years later, I doubt people will even give two sh*ts about Justin 'Beaver.'

[theparanormalsociety]

Philip Oakey sounds just as great now as he did way back then. What a great band and a great singer.

[mannie71170]

I really wonder why how Phil Oakley sing this song as good as the old days.... Great!

[lettermancoastal12]

Phil is ageless all he needs to do is grow his hair out a little and die it black then he really will be AGELESS

[leonedgar]

que temazo!

[kleinbogen]

Is the blonde the same girl from 30 years ago? How about the other gilr? The guy still looks good.

[Novaheart1998]

@kleinbogen yes its same original 3, the band is not the same but who cares! The 3 of them still look damn good 30 years later don't you think??!!!

[ruyrebelo]

Eu tinha 16 anos quando essa musica estourou nas paradas musicais, até hoje curto essa musica.

[ClarissaMariaPereira]

Phillip has aged gracefully. He looks amazing! Even better than 30 years ago. cant say the same for Jo

[ilackedtheheart]

I wish I could pull off the shaved head look like Philip Oakey.

[SuperDrJeckyl]

I used to have such the crush on Joanne the brunette, but unfortunately she hasn't aged well.

But, Susan, the blonde actually looks even hotter now than in the 80s.

[fonzi0was0cool]

@SuperDrJeckyl

very true. also everyone though philip was gay, but he wasn't.

[blabersQkewlieos]

At 2:24-2:25 there's a pregnant chick in a purple sweater

[michellecorbett123]

He actually looks good!

[jjbarbados]

Hazardous to make it live on TV .... something that Enrique Iglesias or some clown like that wouldn`t do

[dybertion]

This is BAD.  check out Mandy Smith's cover is really great.

So painfully out of tune. There isn't even one phase that's not woefully flat.

and truth to tell last night's cover on Glee was better sung

[iwfgb]

@dybertion That comment is just a joke - to even begin to compare a non-entity like Mandy Smith with an seminal and creative pop act like The Human League is farcical. They created this masterpiece, possibly one of the greatest pop songs ever made, and frankly don't deserve to have it mangled by the likes of her. The fact that it is being sung on Glee thirty years later shows what a masterpeice this is, and THL should be treated with a little mroe respect.

[senorverde09]

Rubbish drums! I'm still unsure why they have abandoned the LinnDrum/LM-1 during concerts. In my opinion, they play an integral part to the songs :D.

[fuckamericanidiot]

ughhh!!!! awful synths in the chorus

[arlichar11]

the orig is still up to date 30 yrs later...its a timeless masterpiece

[SuperEmjo]

This is crap compared to the original.

[sn0wdream]

crappy vocal on the harmony parts...two female singers should be able to do a much better job.... nice to see them live after all these years though and what a great tune from back in the day

[sarys73]

man he still has an awesome voice

[Gino1962Louis]

Che strano effetto vederli invecchiati, BRAVI...

[NOELLE01j]

THANK YOU, WONDERFUL TO SEE THEM AGAIN!!!!

[ELPerroBuddy63]

@ronpaul2008rocks HOLD ON AMIGO! I AM hardcore HUMAN LEAGUE fan and have all of their albums and CDS and never did they lip sync.

[Espionagefire]

@ELPerroBuddy63 a lot of the old tv performances, especially over seas were all tracked.

[moorpark28]

They were brilliant last night in halifax even better than this clip

[elfman1ofDaRobSquad]

still sing good

[frankmunoz27]

I LOVE HUMAN LEAGUE!!! :D

[RealTime510]

Try BAN, MOD GIRLS, fantastic tune!

[Animateme3D]

Their new song is called Night People.

Their official website is

thehumanleague.co.uk

[aVoXchannel]

the live version just sounds like the album version!

fuck katy perry that b!tch who cant (cunt) sing

[ELPerroBuddy63]

@aVoXchannel yikes!

[Jocasaquacity]

Nossa, ele ficou um coroa bem gatão rs ;)

[JohnnyLovely2]

IT'S NOT THE SAME!!! yeah, the guy could still sing it but WHY did he lose the makeup?!?! lol the 80s have come back! everything that was ahead of its time, is now in its time.

[Shadowsingleton]

Great performance! Its so awesome to see that they are still around.

[joshtj44]

This song is 28 years old and people still love it...he can still sing!!! That's what I call a career.

[tomstickland]

The songs sounds very draggy and not very vital. They've done better performances.

I've watched a few of these recent performances on Youtube now and it's clear that Phil Oakey has still go it. The two womn, well, they're not that good really, but they were part of the original band, so fair play to them.

[coreystuart]

Doesn't he look like a bald headed George Dubya Bush a bit?? Just sayin....

[elpanalucky]

he looks awesome now

[aberdown]

A bit stiff!

Isn't amazing that after more than 40 years floyd still sounds fresh and vital.

[CelesteK]

@aberdown What's Floyd got to do with this? You can't really compare the two bands because they're two completely different bands.

[aberdown]

@CelesteK The point I was saying that some bands don't age well some do.

It's hardly there fault the 80's were a very different time to now very different!

[CelesteK]

@aberdown Ahh I see. :)

[i8beachglass]

he still has those intense eyes!-wow

[SlimJim1432]

This is great! Besides the fat chick on stage with her gut hanging out.

[philaboston]

The dude still rocks. his vocals sound just as fresh as the 80's. the chick struggled a little bit imho.

[spikeman14]

Its funny how the synths used in the original sound better than these!

[AndONeDepcheMOde]

como pasan los años...

[saneman666]

The male singer has at least aged gracefully and can still sing. The women, especially the cheap whore looking one who did the singing, did not. age well. And the woman had the easy part to sing and she screws it up big time. How can she mess up such an easy vocal? They shoudl have brought Marisa TOmei to sing (heh heh, Cyrus reference).

[invilia]

phil still sound & look great

[piyber4]

That blonde is still so hot, puts any singer in this age to shame

[prkendora]

I prefer the glammed up sophisticated look that they had in the 80s

[granthamj]

its awesome

[Delticola]

Is that the same lead singer they had back in 81 and 82? He doesn't look quite so queer and he dropped the makeup, his face filled out. The blonde chick isn't quite so hot anymore, her eyes sunk in a little. The brunette is still ok, at slightly over weight. Heck, I'm 38 and fat and grey.

[smashingpumpkins71]

you are a complete tool...................

[Delticola]

@smashingpumpkins71 And exactly what part of my comment has offended you so much? It's my form of humor mixed with observations in reality. What's your problem?

[00fowlers]

i'm in love with the new romantic movement phil oakey!!!!!

[tobyobrie]

Susan kills the chorus... Phil was doing just fine until her off-key voice came in.

[pimenton73]

The music sounds like a video game soundtrack

[miraeja]

ladies and gentlemen, this is what we will all become one day: fat, bald, and out of tune

[100afterdark]

@miraeja

wow!! what an amazing statement!! no..no.. your just TOOOOOOOOO clever for this life.. really you are!! not EVERYONE becomes bald, not EVERYONE fat and not EVERYONE becomes out of tune.... your clearly confused arnt you??

[miraeja]

@100afterdark you must be in denial, you bald out of tune, fat ass lol

[100afterdark]

@miraeja bald or not oakeys in better shape at 52 then that idiot out of the liberteens will ever look... what a waste of air and space that twatt is!! oh and look out for their material later this year as wall of sound have signed them up... now where are the drugs for that little boy again???

[KPP2008A]

OLD IS GOLD!

[maria461]

OMG ,the time really passed by them,but i think he still keeps his voice.I still love them

[DOSkywalkR]

great live performance! sounds great, they still got it. but what happened to his hair? ^^ is it getting less or why does he shave it? i prefer a male style, but his haircuts from the 80's did have something to them :D

[NATALIALITA]

the best

[mrsunshineshines]

The Anthem of Montego Bay, Belmar, N.J.

Just another in an endless line of great songs from the 80's...

[adiksadiatabs]

and of course they have to show the 30 somethings at 00:31

[DutchHeartMonger1]

@circusmnkee Uhuh..;)

[DJEduMolina]

Susan (blond vocal), do you wanna marrie with me?

[smileyyyjessiee]

my cousin is in this band :) i love you nick!

[100afterdark]

@smileyyyjessiee we love him too always polite and cheerfull when ive met him, oh and he likes a beer as well!!

[musique1975]

This song is timeless . Phil Oakey and his girls have aged gracefully over the years .

Human League will always be the kings and queens of english disco .

Good news . The band has just signed a new recording contract , so don't be surprised to hear some new songs in the near future.

[1flamerz]

Now there's a man who has taken good care of himself.

[ropleto1]

she look hot

[rechita]

he is beld but with a still beautiful face and shape, and he still sings very beautifully, i think even better than in the 80´s

[jibberjabberman]

@rechita yea but you remember the 80's! right up your street lol

[edrams]

This song still makes me feel fresh and young in an delicious summer night ready to go the ball.

Party all night!!!

[Circusmnkee]

Wow, the blonde is even more gorgeous now than she was 20 years ago!

[cisco760ca]

my bad i was 5 lol

[cisco760ca]

wow greatist memories and group for me till this day . I was about 8 when this song came out .

[sconemegamix]

Great. My first concert was human league in Belfast, don't you want me was number 1 in the charts, I wore winkle pickers and the ends got flattened! Dare remains one of my favourite albums of all time!

[EricFarr71370]

Phillip Oakely still looks amazing!! It's scary that I still have a major crush on him!!

[Portis1Luv]

Long live the keytar!

[ivanrocha21]

Fantastic!! Like wine !!

[02javis]

chic song.

[Animateme3D]

Human League signed with UK recording label Wall of Sound. New material (songs, album, videos, etc.) expected in 2010!!!!

[markfraser1964]

I use to love this band but now there "GONE" retire ffs !

[harrysfunzone]

they're not "GONE". they are currently working on a new album, soon to be released. they have just signed with wall of sound records!!

[ELPerroBuddy63]

@harrysfunzone Who says they are GONE. They are HOT as HELL even now. GOD all mighty OAKEY IS RED HOTT. All of them look awesome.

[aaronjarvis1]

gr8.

[foufm1]

nice track!!!

[ponnef]

they look great still,lol

[punky7dunk333]

I went out and proudly paid for The Human League's CD without question..And I have NOT bought a CD in years. Nuthin else has the same ingredients as this. Its FUN and has it ALL that makes a catchy and brilliant tune.

I wish I had written this one for sure. No one compares to bands like this. The Idols cant jam worth tha damn, those disney singers are boring, Staind is depressing and hiphop/rap is just Silly now and u cant tell em apart anymore.

But rest assure, U know the League when U hear.

[jotenko]

You spoke and said it.

[punky7dunk333]

Holy Fuck!!! This still ROXX!!! and these chics are still HOTT as HELL!!! Classics never die..And the song is just as sexy as when it came out.

[folkard84]

Of course, he went into a random club in sheffield england and saw to normal best friends dancing, no showbiz./ singing experience,,,,the rest is history lol,,,,ballsy on his part lol

[HAMFARPICTURES]

The blonde one aged very well !

no the case for the other woman. her lovely curves are gone.

[0633767jerishowrulez]

one of the rare live performances that sound better than the official music video. from all artists thats a rarity.

[The200mph]

BLAST FROM THE PAST

[Ksushahrusha]

Wow, he looks better then he did 20 years ago. No lipstic and ten layers of makup. He actually looks like a handsome man. Can't say the same about he girls. Guys do get better with age.

[streetzdvds]

Look out for the british lovers rock gala awards dvd 2009. 16 acts over 38 top lovers rock music. in your shops soon.new name music

[tinalau0103]

they totally look different........after

20++ yrs...

no doubt... long lasting good song, miss the day !

[MartianManhunter1987]

This is one of the best songs of all time so all you haters stop hating. More than a song this is

[ThiloS08]

Yes. its the pulse of the 80ties.

[805pauline805]

Thanks for the post I never saw them live. wow what age does to you

[LordShivasServant]

lol

[oulahop]

but he still looks ok for his age : he is 51 y-o on the video...can't say the same for the 2 other members

[spursdave69]

What kills this is the shite band that are backing them up! Phil sounds awesome. Suzanne plz sing louder honey :P

[COSMO2RULE]

Please stop killing music this way!

I was never a great track but only a decent one - performing it live today is a celebration of extremely bad taste...

[lordoid]

Whut? It has sold over 1,400,000 copies, making it the 25th most successful single of all time in the UK.Of course this is a good Song beacause this is a great band that influenced many artists and formed a new music genre. I think they sound good today so

why is it forbitten to play their old songs? Nearly all Bands that are in the business for a long time do this.

Maybee you have heard it a little bit too often. :)

[fx3b996lp4]

OMG thats amazing...for me it seems like they are bether here than before...this song sounds me bether than original from 1982

[efreire78]

the girls still so sexy

[goonercrew08]

The 80's rule!

[Guedingen]

Damn the blonde's looking good

[kosolo1988]

damn! time killed these guys except the chick in red dress she does look like a milf

[snoozingphil]

She looks like she should be doing porno rather than trying to sing it sounds awful

[RickStylus]

that's true, time kill everyone with no mercy.

[SuperLildrummerboy]

this sucks

[chococrazyg]

cool drums! o:

[kossak007]

great song and great performance. 5*

[liyanam]

Who did everyone prefer? Susan (blondie) or Joanne (brunette)? I LOVE JOANNE! <3

[RogerDcarnac]

Susan - plain in the 80s. Total MILF in the 00s!!!!!!!

[steadfastcoward]

Both were/are wonderful and I also loved Kate Bush, Joan Armatrading, Grace Jones, Rickie Lee Jones, Souixsie and the Banshees, Yazoo, OMD. Depeche Mode, Joan Jett, Gary Numan,AFOS, XTC and )))) X (((( for pete's sake!

[akastalin]

私も、腹回り　が　１０センチメートル　大きくなりました。（現在４２歳）

[akastalin]

ああ、時は流れてる

[xrisman]

wow,,,,they look nervous,,,something just isnt right,,,,the dance moves the girls are doing look like a move my 2 year old would do 1

[rainbowcity88]

Was it just me or did Phil Oakey look like he really wasn't enjoying himself there.

Still a good performance thou :)

[FearAcademy]

synthesizer madness!!!

[reeshee]

lol, finally a real live version

[stevenserrao]

Fuck yes!

[seankinsellasean]

girls still haven,t a note in their heads , like the 80 version of the spice girls

[karaloca]

Keith Lemon on drums!

[modspell]

GOLD NEVER RUSTS.

[Ripper36068]

The Ladies still look absolutey fantastic real beauties!! xx

[harryfeld1]

One of the best kick-ass dance songs from the 80's.

[iamthestig1]

your right, there...

[GregJimBob]

he sounds the exact same as he did 30 years ago!! the chick was not so good but he was remarkables

[MistaEks]

yeah.. but isthat the original dolly singin

[andi064]

Yes that's the original girl from 1981 - Susan Ann Sulley (46 now)

[MistaEks]

wow!.... she looks fab

[MmeDesgranges]

Sure is, all three of them look better now (I saw them in Sydney a few weeks ago). Phil is in much better shape, Susan has lost a stack of weight (and a boob job) and Jo has also lost a lot of weight and shaped up. The band is far tighter now too, but same members as in this clip.

[Domunication]

I miss 80'smusic.Chavvy and gangster music is sooo crap, I mean who the hell is N-Dubz???

[iamthestig1]

i cant stand any new music.....whether its chavvy, gangster or fucking disney-fairy-boy-poofter Miley-Fucking-Whatsherface shit, its all crap, and we should teach people about decent music like the Human League...

[johannmichael]

bravo, d'ac cord.

[nancyddavis]

Sounding good and looking great as always =)
