  • what an amazing performance x

  • Morten Harket...A LEGEND!!!

  • Epic.... one of their best! Viva A-ha!!!

  • Extraordinaire

  • Still listening / watching this immense track pere 1 yr after first posting. LOVE IT

    Regards

  • 3:30 THIS MAN ISCH A MACHINE!!!!

  • what the charts say..

  • ahh and for the guy that compare them with the beattles I really think the same..we as individual must be oppendmindeed all the time and think without the judgment of who are or arent legend by the society..I heard a lot of the beattles and a lot of a-ha now and the true for me is that in both carrers are some silly songs and at the same time they have very great ones,i remember of readding some lyrics by the beattles and been sorprised beacuse they were really easy songs.so dont mother

  • @Shadowglimt I have the suspicion that most a-ha´s fans think that take on me is one of they least favorites,it happen to me,too.but in a way we have to be gratefull with TOM because if it wasnt by the thing that one day i listened that song wich was playing in the school in front of my house while i was at my door I would never look for it in you tube and then discovered the others!! and what a gift to my life has been a-ha trough the las 3 months!

  • Minnesota never forgot about these guys! We have lots of Scandinavian blood in us...thanks to You tube, I have been able to keep up with my old favorite bands/songs

  • One of the top 10 singers of all time in my opinion.

  • This is a beautiful version of the song.

  • Pureté et force exceptionnelles dans la voix de Morten.

    Admirable !!

  • Greatest voice in music history.

    

  • Love this song. And I was in elementary when it came out.

  • beautifu!!!

  • HOW THE HELL CAN HE HOLD IT SO LONG????

  • @trelokamenos 20 seconds = 32 measures.

  • can't believe I am discovering a-ha (again--I heard them in the 80s) a year after they disbanded. What a pity, but we have the great fan base like PereMarquette to capture the beauty of their music. I've listened to all the live versions of this song on Youtube and this their premiere performance is the best live performance by a-ha bar none!

  • Este tema musical complacería a Dionisio y Apolo,

    Por que A-HA es una impecable banda pop-rock,

    Pues ésta es una sublime composición de Pal Waaktaar Savoy,

    y profundamente hermosa la voz lírica de Morten Harket.

    Son los griegos que cantan a través de ellos,

    para elevar a los seres humanos al apreciar su bella música,

    a una condición de dioses y de diosas.

  • I FEEL SORRY BY THE AMERICANS THAT FORGET THIS VOICE AND THS TALENT...

  • Sorry for my ignorance, but why did they split? I just LOVE this band and all their songs, but have not followed the happenings.....:(

  • @tekacil cause Magne Furuholmen entered in the Midlife crisis, and now is on tour with the cold play guys

  • Summer moved on...And the way it goes...You can't tag along. Honey moved out...And the way it went...Leaves no doubt. Moments will pass...In the morning light...I found out... Seasons can't last And there's one thing left to ask Stay,don't just walk away...And leave me another day A day just like today...With nobody else around Friendships move on...Until the day you can't get along Handshakes unfold...And the way it goes,No one knows. Moments will pass...In the morning light,I found out..STAY
  • Electro Planet - Summer moved on! Great Play!

    очуметь как песня звучит в исполнении Electro Planet!

  • still find him hot, i first loved the songs, the james bond song and the blood that move this body, it has nothing to do with morten at first, i also used to like spandau ballet, but now they are out of my list and aha is still there with u2, REM, depeche mode,RHCP, and most recently aded linkin park

  • dont know europe and the states, but here in south america, they were on the radio as any other band, we dont have that image of a girls band they talk abuot, but yes when i was 15 i was truly in love with morten, 

  • Love the way Morten corrects his mistake at 1:35, best a-ha live performance for me.

  • Best performance ever

  • Had not seen this live version before. One of the best I've ever seen of this song! Why this was not included in the US broadcast is beyond me.

  • Pure brilliance! Definately in my all time top 10. Still gutted that I never got to see them in concert - had to sell tickets for gig in Cardiff last November as the baby arrived 3 weeks early! I will remind her in the years to come!!!!!!

  • OBRIGADO POR TUDO A-HA!!!!

  • Liked/favorited!

    This live version is so much better than the original one.

  • yesssss summer moved on =))

  • amazing voice!

  • Damn! How long did he hold that note?  That was pitch perfect!

  • @marianware its a world record!!!

  • Perfect! Thank you very much for this video. I was so touched. Wish the quality of the image was better.

  • I'm proud to say these extremely talented boys are my fellow countrymen.

    Sadly they were never fully appreciated for the great music that they produced. If the makers of James Bond movies found the bands quality good enough for them, why were they not met with more enthusiasm throughout the rest of Europe? Now they've gone from the Touring Circuit - and it's our loss.

  • SSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAA­AAYYYYYYYY! it´s A-ha!!!!

  • ...absolute great version....love this song and Morten`s voice...fantastic!

  • morten harket und gary barlow haben die besten stimmen dieser erde!

  • such a great song ...

  • I was like "he won't be able to hold that long note... he'll cut off after about five seconds..." ...Nah, he can do it live too, apparently :D

  • @bloosy he can do it live... he did at AVO Session in Baselin 2005

  • @bloosy he can do it live... he did at AVO Session in Basel in 2005

  • @sukimizu Sorry? I know he can do it.... this video shows that clearly! What I meant was that at the beginning of this video I had doubts that he could, but was obviously mistaken, looks as if he can hold it every time it's performed.

  • omg, what a voice! amazing!

  • Amazing. Aha we miss you

  • Lovely song!!!! Amazing performance, one of the best band in the last 20 or 25 years ago!!

    Great voice!! Morten is an angel on earth!! EPIC!!!! Always and forever A-HA !!! ;-)

  • '98? The album didn't come out until 2000... Is that before, waaaaayy before, the release?

  • super I love A-HA

  • thank you for the peasure! beautiful guys making beautiful music!

  • Fantásticos!

  • A-M-A-Z-I-N-G as usual, Morten's voice is the best on this Planet! His voice is so powerfull, warm and soft like velvet! Fantastisk

  • @PereMarquette1225 Pere, Thanks for posting a great performance that I would have never been able to appreciate. This is one of A-Ha's best performances that I have not been able to find anywhere else. I wish they make it available to purchase. Even thru Itunes? how expensive could it be to post for purchase? Their fan base would make it worth while. MP

  • I'm an Englishman, and I can say with my hand on my heart that if A-HA were an English band, they'd be as famous as the Beatles-they are in my view the most talented band of the last 25 years by miles.

  • @slaphaddalztick great band, bad management.

  • @slaphaddalztick I was lucky enough to see them in '87 when I was 17. I could not miss the opportunity of seeing them on their farewell tour. I paid over the odds for my ticket, but they were excellent. I loved every minute x x x x

  • @slaphaddalztick omg don't you dare to compare the beatles with a-ha...a-ha is great but the beatles are celestial

  • @crankyankerhapso I'm certainly not above comparing any band to the Beatles if I think they merit it, few do, but a-ha come as close as any in terms of productive quality and consistently being able to write brilliant, diverse music. But actually, the point I was making is that a-ha were and are hugely underrated, and that an awful lot of great music produced in Europe goes unnoticed by the very anglo-centric bias of the US/British music industry.

  • @slaphaddalztick absolutely wise words...

  • @slaphaddalztick I absolutely agree. They are so good. A real, pure, original talent. Nothing compares. So glad they found their way back together in the 90's and gave us more great music. They achieved so very much in their time.

  • @slaphaddalztick I agree with you. Why a-ha have always stayed a 'secret tip' and bands like Coldplay, who also write very melodic melancholy songs, remains a mystery to me. Is it all in the marketing?

  • @duesseldorf67 i loved cold play when they came out, cause they sounded like a-ha, but comparing to aha cold paly is boring

  • @slaphaddalztick

    well said, i completely agree with you and i'm english. a-ha are amazing, hope they reform 1 say.

  • super. i love this song.it takes me for many years ago. into my past.

  • Great,great voice..

  • Finally, an ACTUAL live performance!

  • Fail at 1.32 "and the" should have been "until" the day you... ;-)

    Only Morten can get away with forgetting the lyrics. In kristiansand he forgot to get back to the stage and sing the first lines of Foot of the mountain.

  • He must have a very good pair of longs, that long Ask in the end. WOW....

  • strange. i fell i love with this song.. and then i couldent listen to it so i djust moved along

  • Forever nostalgic:

    This video and the sun always shines from that concert were the first ever video's I downloaded back when I got my first computer.

  • הורס בריאותתתתתתתתתתתתתתתתתת

  • geil echt wow

  • Summer Moved On ... das Original, danke dafür !!

  • Amazing lyrics, gorgeous live performance

  • This song was 10 years ago no.33 in the world charts

  • Pure Magic.

    V.O.I.D.MK20 (MA)

  • This song was 10 years ago no.28 in the world charts

  • версія Алексея Матиаса мне на много больше нравится.

  • @vitalina0202 Матиас при всем своем таланте всего лишь мальчишка, который взялся петь песню не по уровню и не по голосу, да и слишком он молод для такой песни. Ее надо прочувствовать, а он профанерил да и все. Все эти его выгибания и пантомима были не к месту и глупы. Пусть поет то,ч то боольше подходит мальчишке. Он и рядом с Мортеном не стоял.

  • OMG THIS SONG IS TIGHT

  • This song was 10 years ago no.15 in the world charts

  • Thanks for sharing, love this song Angie A-ha fan since the beginning :)

  • Morten has a serious set of lungs. totally underrated singer!!! he holds that note a looooooooooooooong time! this is one of the most beautiful songs ever!

  • super

  • This song was 10 years ago no.12 in the world charts

  • Worlds most underrated singer ever! Morten and aha deserves so much more credit then they have gotten. They should be up there with U2, but sadly people often refer to aha as a "one hit wonder".

  • So gute Musik gibt es heute leider nicht mehr.

  • This song was 10 years ago no.16 in the world charts

  • This song was 10 years ago no.18 in the world charts

  • QUE GRAN GRUPO Y GRAN CANCION

  • Lovely, lovely song. Gives me chills to hear it live.

  • This song was 10 years ago no.16 in the world charts

  • Amazing performance! Thanks for sharing.

  • Jeez. he is a hottie

  • Video histórico, este fué un concierto clave en la vuelta de AHA

  • This song was 10 years ago no.23 in the world charts

  • This song was 10 years ago no.26 in the world charts

  • Kultstück ... im Jahr 2000 auf der Expo in Hannover am letzten Tag performt ... immer ein bisschen Erinnerung an Patrick Swazie

  • Great concert version! Morten's voice sounds beautifully, and he looks pretty as ever (I envy him a little bit!) The piece of music has got for me a spirit of Norway (I perceive like that though I've never been there). I think it's certainly one of my favourite AHA's songs. Thank you for sharing and heartily greetings from Poland!

    No, przyjemniutkie (virtually nice)!

  • This song was 10 years ago no.39 in the world charts

  • This is great! Really beautiful!

  • Still listening to this wonderfull track. My god when the orchestra kicks in !!!Whatever way you dubbed the sound in PereMarquette its a terrific track.

  • Bravo Bravo! they are and they will forever be the most touching band on the world. great voice, too many amotions to explain :)

  • Que video tan mas chingón!!!

  • I'm speechless. Awesome performance!!! I can remember A-Ha when I was a 13 year old school girl and I was in love with Morten! ;-)

  • This is a stuning performance. A ha is one of the very very few bands whose live performances compete with their recorded ones a to which are better.

  • OK, I was listening to this song on my PC and I just made a quick bet with myself that there is no way it could sound good live, it's just impossible to get it right. I was wrong. Hats off. At 3:27 my eyes popped out.

  • read the description, it is dubbed

  • @eltinto

    So it's edited, doesn't make it any less live.

  • I substituted better audio from the same performance and synced it up, not a studio version. The studio version sounds nothing like this, and wouldn't sync up anyway... geez.

  • Morten, i love you!

    What a voice!

    ich liebe Dich!

  • MAGNIFICENT!

  • great song

  • SP dia 10 de março estarei no show!!!

  • This is truly brilliant, their best.

    There's a sort of sadness in this song, melancholy.

  • It's amazing...best live ever!!!

    Este grupo es increíble. ¿cómo es posible cantar en directo mejor que en el disco?

    Larga vida a AHA

  • Nesse dia Morten estava literalmente "atacado" Maravilhoso!

  • great song...good job PereMarquette1225 on the audio...

  • Thanks... I aims to please.

  • i love it

  • What about Morten's voice now? Have anyone been to their concerts lately?

  • Yes I was in oslo 7 nov -09 on a A-ha concert. And I can say that he is still AMAZING! He sang "Take on me" brilliant, and "Summer moved on" like a walk in the park... still holds 20 sec on that note, I counted! They are the best band ever.

  • @mbaldisis yes, it still sounds good :).

  • the most beauty performance of this marvelous song. I leave a.... simplest but passionately version... so far than this.

  • HUGE thanks for this beautiful video. I loved these guys years ago and had thought they had stopped performing. What a stunning performance, especially that sustained, perfectly pitched note near the end. Breathless!!!

  • Thank you so much for this video. It is really something...

  • such a powerfull performance they did that day!...Morten shone like the sun! such a marvellous voice!

  • I had just kinda of a most terrible day of this month yesterday. his great live song will help me for sure.TYVM.

  • in this video he's about 40

  • He is the perfect creature in the world!!

  • In my very personal opinion U2 and coldplay are borring...sorry... A-ha is a very original band, always do diferent things, and his "unpopular" music, is a prub of his bigness.

    Here in Mexico and others countrys have only one hit....but ,see here how many people of Czech Republic, France, Brazil, Finland, Chile, Canada, Japan, Usa, Spain, Britan, German, Ireland, Norway of corse....and more.... love A-ha in almost all the world!!! without publicity in many of them... my Mexican heart loves A-ha

  • valeu a-ha massa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Great track & the orcestra break brill. Cant stop playing it. Heard they splitting up today. Good luck for the future!!

  • I read the news myself. Now I'm really bummed. :(

  • I am still listening to this every day. Its like a daily fix !!!

  • i love him and his voice!!!

  • great voice...and i hate bono....

  • U2 are overrated, and A-ha are not.

    I love U2, but I think A-ha deserve some of their success!

  • i love a-ha, but bono (U2) the voice is better than 80's, for me the two best voice of the world. and sinatra, freddie and pavarotti was the best of all times

  • I've heard U2's latest single, and Bono sounds like he wants someone to throw him a fish. His voice can't compare to Morten's.

  • I know, the voices are diferent, but we can't compare U2 whith A-ha, U2 is much, i said MUCH better then A-ha the nunbers of sell records say it

  • Well, Bono's voice fits U2 songs perfectly, but Morten's voice is better (technically). He has 5 octaves vocal range. And yes, we cannot compare the living irish legend, the world's biggest band with an underrated Norwegian band, which is unfortunately very unknown in spite of the fact that it's a VERY good band. Here in the Czech Republic there are almost no people who know a-ha. And most of them only know the song "Take on me", which is definitely NOT one of their best. It's a pity...

  • Can't agree with you there. Personal tastes are very subjective, and popularity has never been a measure of quality.

  • Exactly... just see how bands like Jonas Brothers became famous. They're popular all over the world, but only because of their looks, not music (cos it's f.cking shit).

    U2 produces good music and definitely deserves their success. But a-ha deserves it too...

  • Btw, I was responding to Roliveiras above.

    I think U2 is a good band too; I'm just not a huge fan of their style. Artists like A-ha actually have a tougher row to hoe, because they're out there doing something different that doesn't get the instant gratification of chart success, but may be ahead of its time. And I agree; Take On Me is one of my least favorite of their songs. It made them famous, then quickly became an albatross around their necks.

  • with that concept britney would be too... please...

  • Agreed

  • harkets best performence on summer moved on

  • Very nice performance. And... yes, Per Lindvall is on drums here :)

  • Summer moved on is the best a-ha live song.

  • butiful song.. xD

  • gooooooooooooooooooooooood d++++++++

  • The best band performing one of their best songs, sung by the best looking man who's the best singer with the best voice... what else can we ask for?

  • I agree 100% with you.

  • Was that really 1998? I thought the Song was recorded in 2000.

  • Absolutely amazing! ... They always were great, this song is "one of a kind", and this live performance is stunning. Do I need to mention how much I like the part when orchestra is uncovered? :) ... and that 20sec. long note, simply takes our breath away... but not his. ;)

  • loooooooooooooooove the long note!!! it's like hypnotic, i was sitting like this 0_0.. wonderful, fantastic, amazing... Morten is just, WOW :O.. in all ways.. <3

  • I think this version is the best that a-ha perfomed with Summer Moved On. I don't miss even the longest note either... It's just perfect.

  • great band great voice,massively underated

  • Most physically magnetic man alive - and THAT voice! he doesn't need to be as gorgeous as he is - THE VOICE is enough!
