Silent Running / Crimson Days

[alextw13jf]

This song is absolutely brilliant; the refrain's still vividly ringing in my ears after 25 years or so. Back in those days I had the vinyl LP "Shades of Liberty" borrowed from some friend and the whole thing was top notch although I had never seen the band on TV (in Italy, at least). Now that I listen to them again after so many years I can say this stuff is standing the test of time and it's still sounding extremely pleasant and fresh. Undoubtedly under-rated talents. Thanx 4 posting.

@alextw13jf -Ciao,io ebbi la fortuna di vederli dal vivo come band di supporto ai TalkTalk nell'84 o 85 a Modena,una sola parola:stupendo.Sovente suono ancora il vinile che adoro,erano veramente bravi.

The first time I heard a song of Shades of Liberty, I thought it was a new song from Simple Minds, which I thought was strange, since there was no news about a new album by them. Later I found out that Jim Kerr helped them with that album. Love their music

Miss this band. Had the album on vinyl, but no more. Moved away from Europe in the pre internet days and lost track. Later I heard they made 2 more albums, of which I never heard one song. Do they have any of their music on CD's now? Good to hear them on youtube. Unleashing some great Amsterdam memories.

I hid away in my mind, not a good idea.

[TheAger27]

Think you're about 20 years too late if you want to hear a live version of this song!

Think there is a clip on it somewhere on YouTube possibly.

Great song, great album, great band, great days!

Oh my, this certainly brigs back the memories. Good stuff from my heyday..

Quality tune ! Memories of a "crimson" front lawn after a session on red wine and listening to this brilliant album back in 84.

Thanks for posting.

Now this song deserves its own unique flag...
