50 times!! I saw him 3 times in the 70's and they were awesome. The records are just different from most on the market. Sebastion still brings tears to my eyes but the original had far more atmosphere than some ofhis live versions.
Couldn't agree more Bassmanj....saw him do his accoustic set on Wednesday night....3rd time I'd seen him live, and he is as good as ever. And (Love) Compared with you is just BEAUTIFUL!
Okay, I love the song, it's been one of my ride-to-work jams for weeks now, but I have to go and be "that guy." (In this case "that girl.") Since I was negative 3 years old when this was filmed, I am so going to use any access to a time machine to go back in time and hit that. Oh his long lanky form and body language! :)
:D Awesome awesome awesome!! Love the way he teases the guy with the curly hair with the microphone :L Lol Awh bless him. He looks like he was dying to sing =]
how can you NOT appreciate the joy in his songs and that voice -unique- I never really saw him as GLAM more of a influenced by Bowie's "Honky dory" sound
in my view a complete genius great song writer, not many geniuses about but steve along with marc bolan, shane mcgowan are a couple who can compete with the big names.
Hi. :-) Do you mean that he still do concerts?? Where? Do he have a homesite? I was crazy of Steve Harley and Cockey Rebel, when I was younger. I thought he had stopped long time ago!!! ;-)

Can't believe how this never got in the top 40 in the uk.Should have been Steve's second number one single.

@Bassmanbj are you on first name terms with him now? 50 times! Agree about Compared to You.

No because Mott the Hoople were around for years before they had their first hit in 1972.. Harley only began gigging in 1971 or 1972, I gather..
